i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
Machine Type: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 5
Release Status: release
Description:
The "for i do ..." construct (to loop over $@ by default) does not
work when bash is compiled with --enable-minimal-config . I understand
many things aren't supposed to work with --enable-minimal-config ,
but: 1) http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/bourne/common.html suggests
that should work portably on all Bourne shells, and 2) the construct
is used in the bash configure script itself (version 3.2p005, line 1119).
Repeat-By:
The following script shows the bug:
mysub () {
for i
do
echo "here $i"
done
}
mysub foo bar baz
- "for i do ..." broken with --enable-minimal-config,
