Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 12 Release Status: release Description: A heredoc starts with "cat <<'EOF'" is expected to not expand anything just like in a single quote string. But when this heredoc is in a $() or <(), history is expanded. Repeat-By: This works: ``` cat <<'EOF' !! EOF ``` This doesn't work: ``` cat <(cat <<'EOF' !! EOF ) ``` This doesn't work neither: ``` echo "$(cat <<'EOF' !! EOF )" ``` Only when I exec `set +H` to disable history expand, these examples all work.
