[bug-gawk] Another typeof() issue

[Hermann Peifer]

Hi again,

IIRC, another simple AWK truth is that any reference to a non-existing 
array element creates this element as a scalar. So I am wondering if in 
the below example typeof(a[1]) is really: untyped ?

Hermann

$ awk 'BEGIN{ print typeof(a[1]); a[1][2]}'
untyped
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: attempt to use scalar `a["1"]' as an array
