Never use errexit. Use proper error handling.

Thank you. Now I think I have I have explored properly the latest version and found some problems I did not fully see before: The doc says "When matching a pathname, the slash character must always be matched explicitly." Shortly thereafter, in the next paragraph of the same section, GLOBIGNORE is described, which does not treat / as special, but this is not mentioned, and is very unexpected to me. Closer inspection, I see same language "filenames matching a pattern" is used in both paragraphs, so I think some clarification is needed. # example: / matters to GLOBIGNORE ~/opt/bash (master) $ ./bash --norc bash-4.3$ cd $(mktemp -d) bash-4.3$ touch a bash-4.3$ GLOBIGNORE=a bash-4.3$ echo * * bash-4.3$ echo ./* ./a # another example of the same phenomenon bash-4.3$ GLOBIGNORE='*a' bash-4.3$ echo ./* ./* And then, this definitely seems like a bug: * matches / in GLOGIGNORE, and so does [/], but ? does not match / # example: ? does not match "/" bash-4.3$ GLOBIGNORE=.?a bash-4.3$ echo ./* ./a # example: ? does match "x" bash-4.3$ touch .xa bash-4.3$ echo .x* .x* # example: [/] matches "/" bash-4.3$ GLOBIGNORE=.[/]a bash-4.3$ echo ./* ./.xa And then, another bug or doc clarification. The various [:class:] forms don't seem to work at all in GLOBIGNORE. Side note, I've added to my bashrc: GLOBIGNORE=*/.:*/..

Hi, first I want to thank you for your help. While searching for an alternative I came up with the following code which does not work when I have the "shopt -os errexit" command line at the top of my script: read -d '' -r foobar <: > On 6/18/14, 4:27 PM, Dan Douglas wrote: >> On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 2:49 PM, Chet Ramey wrote: >>> Yes, since bash can parse the same construct without any problems if you >>> use command substitution, it looks like a bug.

Yes, it's an interesting question: what exactly does pattern negation include? You can match all filenames beginning with a `.' by using `.' as the first character of the pattern, so should a negated pattern beginning with a `.' match all filenames beginning with a `.' that don't match that particular pattern? The bash-4.3 implementation says yes. (FWIW, ksh93 disagrees.) > before that, the output is: > > a/c Yes, bash-4.2 had real problems with pattern negation (all extglob patterns, really) and files beginning with `.'. So much so that it failed to generate any matches for *(.*), which is just totally wrong. > Another related bug. man bash states: > > The file names ``.'' and ``..'' are always ignored >when GLOBIGNORE is set and not null. > > Which clearly implies that . and .. should not be ignored in some other > case. Sure. One is that they're not ignored when the pattern begins with a `.'. For instance, using .* as the pattern with the above directory contents expands to ". .. .b c". > Well, that was not true before 4.3 Absolutely it was true before bash-4.3. , but I'm guess this new > behavior is a bug, and the doc is a bug, since the doc hasn't changed, > and setting GLOBIGNORE doesn't actually make . and .. be ignored. Of course it does. When GLOBIGNORE is set to something that's not a null value (say, GLOBIGNORE=a) , echo .* in a directory with the contents as above expands to ".b c", echo !(.*) expands to "c", and echo *(.*) expands to ".b".

The lastpipe code needs to be more careful checking whether or not the jobs list has not been modified. I've attached a patch to bash-4.3 that fixes the problem.
