Subject: Should zipping two empty arrays result in empty string?
Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2016 22:49:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <98007a1c-8cd4-f6bf-36c4-65f046e8bc17@gmx.com> (raw)

The following code results in a single loop

a=() b=(); for n in "${(@)a:^b}"; do typeset -p n; done
typeset n=''

My question is, would anyone expect that? or would the you expect
nothing to expand, resulting in the loop not iterating?
