Release Status: release
Description:
I am trying to get the values of BASH_ARGC and BASH_ARGV, but they
seem to be empty? Is it a bug, feature, my misunderstanding, or a
configuration issue.
Repeat-By:
Run the following script:
---------------CUT HERE----------------
function a
{
echo "a args: $@"
b calling function b
}
function b
{
echo "b args: $@"
set|grep ARG;
# for ((i=0 ; $i < [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; i++))
# do
# printf "%s[%s](" "${FUNCNAME[$i]}" "${BASH_ARGC[$i]}";
# printf "%s)\n" "${BASH_ARGV[*]}";
# done
}
a calling function a
---------------CUT HERE----------------
And the output I get is
BASH_ARGC=()
BASH_ARGV=()
set | grep ARG
Shouldn't BASH_ARGC be something like ([0]=>3, [1]=>3)
and BASH_ARGV contain words "calling function b calling function a"?
FUNCNAME correctly returns "b a"
Thanks
