The following script use eval with 3 pipes, 1st time with direct pipe on
the command line, and the 2nd time with a pipe in a variable.
In this second eval, the PIPESTATUS does not content 3 entries, but only 2.
cat <<'EOF' > eval_pipe.sh
#!/bin/env bash
set -u
eval echo 'titi' | grep toto | grep titi
ret_codes=(${PIPESTATUS[*]})
echo ret_codes=${ret_codes[*]}
aPipe='|'
eval echo 'titi' $aPipe grep toto | grep titi
ret_codes=(${PIPESTATUS[*]})
echo ret_codes=${ret_codes[*]}
EOF
chmod +x eval_pipe.sh
eval_pipe.sh
<<<<<<<<<<
ret_codes=0 1 1
ret_codes=1 1
