Machine Type: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
Assigning arrays using
testvar=( $(echo A) $(echo B) )
is accepted in bash-3.1.0. However, using the
same in an eval-construct
eval testvar=( $(echo A) $(echo B) )
is rejected:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
This behavior is different in bash-3.0.16, where the eval statement is
accepted.
I'm not shure whether that's a real bug or 3.0.16 was too tolerant.
Repeat-By:
eval testvar=( $(echo A) $(echo B) )
Fix:
Workaround:
eval testvar="(" $(echo A) $(echo B) ")"
