I've noticed that the $LINENO can't be modified in bash 3.0. I made a script (bash debugger) which modify LINENO to a specific value before using it, it worked in bash 2.05b. but in bash 3.0, even if i've changed it's value, it counts from "one" like nothing happened
Ex: ------------------------------------------ #! /bin/bash LINENO=-2 echo "Line = $LINENO" echo "Line = $LINENO" echo "Line = $LINENO" echo "Line = $LINENO" ------------------------------------------- *result in bash 2.05b: Line = -1 Line = 0 Line = 1 Line = 2 *result in bash 3.0:\ Line = 3 Line = 4 Line = 5 Line = 6 Is this a bug ?!! and how to change LINENO value in bash3.0 Thanks for help -- Ahmed Salah Darweesh
