Subject: [BUG] dash doesn't report syntax error when it should on stray "fi"
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:53:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F958907.9030508@gmail.com> (raw)
How to reproduce:
$ dash -c ':; fi'; echo stat = $?
stat = 0
Behaviour of other shells:
$ bash-4.1 -c ':; fi'; echo stat = $? # Bash 4.1.5
bash-4.1: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
bash-4.1: -c: line 0: `:; fi'
stat = 1
$ bash-3.2 -c ':; fi'; echo stat = $? # Bash 3.2.0
bash-3.2: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
bash-3.2: -c: line 0: `:; fi'
stat = 2
$ ksh -c ':; fi'; echo stat = $? # AT&T Ksh
ksh: syntax error at line 1: `fi' unexpected
stat = 3
$ pdksh -c ':; fi'; echo stat = $? # Public Domain Ksh, version 5.2.14
pdksh: syntax error: `fi' unexpected
stat = 1
$ zsh -c ':; fi'; echo stat = $? # Zsh 4.3.12
zsh:1: parse error near `fi'
stat = 1
Version information:
$ dpkg -l dash
ii dash 0.5.5.1-7.4 POSIX-compliant shell
Regards,
Stefano
