Subject: Bug in Parsing?
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 1996 14:47:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <"648 Mon Sep 23 14:50:14 1996"@bnr.ca> (raw)
ZSH has problems parsing the following line:
(( /bin/sh -c "ls" )& )
It replies with:
zsh: parse error near `/bin/sh -c '
ksh, bash, sh and posix-sh on the HP-UX all accept that command.
I've build ZSH-3.0.0 on HP-UX 9.05 with HP cc.
It seems that zsh does not like the outermost parenthesis. At least,
it wants a blank between the two opening ones... It is probably
related to the $(( construct ...
ZSH-2.6-beta21 shows the same behaviour.
This example might seem artificial but this is how our local setup is
working: we have to put in our .profile (or .zprofile in my case) the
following command:
eval `setup`.
This setup program is supposed to set some environment variables.
The setup command is issuing a command like the faulty one.
I'll have to do eval `setup | sed ...` as a workaround.
