Bash Version: 3.2 Patch Level: 39 Release Status: release Description: i want to start building a project with ./configure --prefix=... $(myflags) where myflags is an executable text file on my path. myflags has the following in it: printf 'CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer" ' printf 'LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O2"' now, when i do that ./configure complains for not recognizing -fomit-frame-pointer option, and actually word splitting of bash ruins what i wanna do. i want the word splitting of a command substitution "to be careful about the quotes in the resulting expansion". is that possible? note: i have xubuntu 8.04 amd64 desktop, on a core2 dell laptop. Fix: something like $(command@) can be added to bash, retaining old functionality. the new one will warn (somehow) word splitting to be careful about possible quotes in the resulting expansion of the command substitution.
