Look at the following bash code:
#!/bin/bash
func ()
{
echo "\"loc_var\" in func = $loc_var"
}
func2 ()
{
echo "loc_var inside another function is" $loc_var
local loc_var=23
func
}
loc_var=43
func2
echo "\"loc_var\" outside function = $loc_var"
exit 0
If you run this, you'll notice that loc_var prints as 23. It should print
as 43.
This is a problem with bash - that is if one function calls another the
value of the local variables are seen.
Does the C shell handle this correctly?
