Better write `( (test' than `((test'.



File: autoconf.info,  Node: Parentheses

Parentheses in Shell Scripts
============================

Beware of two opening parentheses in a row, as some shell
implementations mishandle them.  For example, `pdksh' 5.2.14 misparses
the following code:

     if ((true) || false); then
       echo ok
     fi

To work around this problem, insert a space between the two opening
parentheses.
