Subject: Unexpected foo==bar errors
Date: Sun, 7 Feb 2016 16:57:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHYJk3QRVQ893fMP+4CmdapK10vx5gP581pY358KSQdR1-sZuQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
% foo==bar
zsh: bar not found
This happens even with globassign and magicequalsubst turned off.
A comparison,
% foo='*bar'
% baz=$~foo
% echo $baz
*bar
% foo='=bar'
% baz=$~foo
zsh: bar not found
And how I happened upon this:
% tar tf =(foo) <tab>
_tar:70: not found
I always thought of EQUALS expansion as a form of globbing; should it
be enabled in these contexts even though regular globbing isn't?
(
_tar:70 is
tf=${~words[3]}
)
