Subject: [BUG] dash uses $* instead of $@ in variable assignments
Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2015 20:44:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <n37neq$eem$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hello,
I am forwarding a bug [1] reported by a Debian user: dash incorrectly
uses `$*` instead of the requested `$@` inside variable assignments.
The current version of dash is affected by this bug.
A simple test from the original reporter:
$ dash -c 'IFS=:$IFS ; set -- a b c ; echo "$@" ; x="$@" ; echo "$x"'
a b c
a:b:c
$ bash --posix -c 'IFS=:$IFS ; set -- a b c ; echo "$@" ; x="$@" ;
echo "$x"'
a b c
a b c
This error is reproducible with dash 0.5.7 and with the current master
git master branch, commit 2e5842258bd5b252ffdaa630db09c9a19a9717ca.
