Subject: Funny bug when autoloading with syntax error
Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2000 18:30:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E12GQyL-0000Pv-00.2000-02-03-18-27-17@cmailg7.svr.pol.co.uk> (raw)

Autoload the following function:

if (( 1 )): then   # note colon instead of semicolon
  true
fi

This loads silently, unlike trying it at the command line which gives a
parse error near `fi', which is not unexpected.  `which fn' gives

fn () {
        if (( 1 ))
        then
                : then
        fi
        true
}

This is, not to put too fine a point on it, wrong.
