Hello,
I ran VSC5.1.1L on bash shell and communicated the results to Mr. Chet Ramey, the current maintainer of bash. I got his observation below and I don't know how to response. Please feel free to response to him directly if you want. > I have looked at the failed tests in sh_0[4567] and I am not impressed >with the test suite. It seems to have been designed to verify that a >machine which has ksh installed as /bin/sh is POSIX-conformant. If >they wanted a test to prove that ksh was POSIX-conformat, they could >hardly have written a better one. > >The test suite is riddled with ksh-isms that are not POSIX: `print', >relying on the shell to perform arithmetic expansion on the arguments >to `test's numeric operators, the fact that ksh doesn't include function >bodies in the output of `set', etc. > >Many of the failed tests also call `sh' directly, which is probably not >the shell you're testing. It's a good way to see whether /bin/sh is >POSIX-conformant, but not anything else. > >Chet > >-- >``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer >( ``Discere est Dolere'' -- chet) > >Chet Ramey, CWRU [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/ Thanks, Andrew Pham
