Subject: Bug with continue?
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2023 03:32:52 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMP44s3NCDJU9TcSuSgy5oH=-iK3zpP3Vc1+95d3n16uydHhFA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I notice this works differently in zsh than in other shells:

  for x in 1 2 3 4; do
    continue &&
    list="$list$x " &&
    echo "x: $x"
  done
  echo "list: $list"

Why did the statement after `continue` gets evaluated?

The original code tries to do something useful `case "$x" in 1)
continue ;; esac &&` but it shouldn't matter.

I tried in bash, ksh, and dash, and all of them continue immediately,
except zsh.

That can't be the desired behavior, can it?
