Subject: $0 (or argv[0]) not used in error messages in zsh -c inlinescripts
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 14:18:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220920131851.3rc27t4cfhwxchay@chazelas.org> (raw)

(minor)

$ zsh -uc 'echo $0; :>/; 0=foo; $1' myinlinescript
myinlinescript
zsh:1: is a directory: /
zsh:1: 1: parameter not set

I expected:

myinlinescript
myinlinescript:1: is a directory: /
foo:1: 1: parameter not set

Like most other Bourne-like shells (except yash) do (except for the assignment
to $0 which none other supports).

Isn't it the whole point of being able to specify $0, so it's
treated as the script's name when using zsh -c?

Note that the interpreter's argv[0] is always ignored in any case.

$ ARGV0=foo zsh -uc 'echo $0; :>/; $1'
foo
zsh:1: is a directory: /
zsh:1: 1: parameter not set

Also applies to:

$ ARGV0=foo zsh -u <<< 'echo $0; :>/; 0=bar; $1'
foo
zsh: is a directory: /
zsh: 1: parameter not set

Modifications to $0 are honoured in:

$ zsh <(<<<'echo "$0"; :>/; 0=foo; :>/')
/proc/self/fd/11
/proc/self/fd/11:1: is a directory: /
foo:1: is a directory: /

Not in:

$ zsh -c '. $1' foobar =(<<<'echo $0; :>/; 0=foo; :>/')
/tmp/zshl53EOM
/tmp/zshl53EOM:1: is a directory: /
/tmp/zshl53EOM:1: is a directory: /


See also:

$ zsh -c 'f() { echo $0; :>/; 0=foo; :>/; }; f'
f
f: is a directory: /
f: is a directory: /


(modified $0 not used in error message).
