Subject: Problematic change in alias behavior in pre3
Date: Sun, 21 Jul 1996 10:41:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <960721104147.ZM18816@candle.brasslantern.com> (raw)
Here's zsh 3.0-pre2:
zsh% alias show="noglob show"
zsh% function show() { show=(); show=( $~* ); print -rc $show }
zsh% show **/Make*
Doc/Makefile Makefile StartupFiles/Makefile
Doc/Makefile.in Makefile.in StartupFiles/Makefile.in
Etc/Makefile Misc/Makefile Util/Makefile
Etc/Makefile.in Misc/Makefile.in Util/Makefile.in
Functions/Makefile Src/Makefile
Functions/Makefile.in Src/Makefile.in
(The point here is to set $show to the result of the glob only if the glob
succeeds, and otherwise to set it to empty. I use cshnullglob.)
Here's pre3:
zsh% alias show="noglob show"
zsh% function show() { show=(); show=( $~* ); print -rc $show }
zsh: parse error near `)'
zsh% show=()
zsh: parse error near `)'
zsh% unalias show
zsh% function show() { show=(); show=( $~* ); print -rc $show }
zsh%
Why does the existence of the alias mess up the variable assignment?
