Am 07. Jun, 2016 schwätzte Bryan O'Neal so:

moin moin Bryan,

it works for me using bash 4.3 on debian, so I installed a centos7
container, but it works there as well.

bash-4.2# ( floor=0; ceiling=3; for (( i = ${floor}; i < ${ceiling}; i++
)); do echo $i; done )
0
1
2
bash-4.2#

Diff shopt output from both shells and see if there's an option change
biting you?

ciao,

der.hans

In centos7, bash 4.2, I am rejected when I try and run my preferred
iterative loop and I don't know why it no longer likes it

for (( i = ${floor}; i < ${ceiling}; i++ )); do
things_and_stuff
done

Anyone know why?

Yes I can still do
i=${floor}
while [[ $(( i += 1 )) -le ${ceiling} ]]; do
things_and_stuff
done

but it doesn't help me understand why the first construct no longer
functions.
