Subject: Anonymous function syntax and "sh" emulation
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2015 21:16:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <150820211638.ZM29649@torch.brasslantern.com> (raw)
This works in both zsh and sh emulation:
() { print hello; }
So does this:
function () { print hello; }
This works in zsh emulation but not in sh emulation:
function { print hello; }
The error is "parse error near `}'". If you write it as
function {
print hello
}
then the error is "parse error near `print'". Since this is the example
syntax in the "Anonymous Functions" subsection of the manual, it seems
that it either ought to work, or there ought to be a warning.
