Subject: Arith expansion accepts extra closing parenthesis
Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2015 18:32:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <556C890E.80506@inlv.org> (raw)
I just found some more arithmetic parsing strangeness. zsh 5.0.8 and
4.3.11 both happily accept and ignore one (1) extra closing parenthesis
in variable expansion within arithmetic expansion (even in POSIX mode).
% X='1)'
% echo $(($X))
1
% echo $((X))
1
(Expected output: error message in both cases)
Yet, 'echo $((1)))' errors out as expected, as do 'echo $(($X))' and
'echo $((X))' for X='1))', X='1)))', X='(1', etc.
