Subject: [BUG] Illegal function names are accepted after being used as aliases
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:18:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56CCA25E.5020809@openmailbox.org> (raw)
Function definitions that use a bad function name (such as "-" and "=")
are accepted if the function name already exists as an alias. For example:
$ -
dash: 1: -: not found
$ - () { echo hello; }
dash: 2: Syntax error: Bad function name
$ -
dash: 2: -: not found
$ alias -=true
$ -
$ - () { echo hello; }
$ -
hello
$
