Package: dash
Version: 0.5.4-12
Severity: normal
Hopefully the following will illustrate some unexpected behaviour I
discovered:
mich...@cnspc18:~$ dash -c 'noop(){ true;}; x=1; noop; x=broken true; echo
"x is now $x"'
x is now 1
mich...@cnspc18:~$ dash -c 'noop(){ true;}; x=1; noop; x=broken noop; echo
"x is now $x"'
x is now broken
My understanding is that 'x=broken noop' shouldn't make the change to x
permanent. It shouldn't make a different whether the command is a normal
executable versus a shell function, right? o_O
