Machine Type: i586-suse-linux
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Repeat By:
1. shopt -s nullglob extglob
2. echo "x$(printf "%b" @(hugo))x"
3. printf -v var "%b" @(hugo); echo "x${var}x"
# note: no file named hugo is allowed to reside in the current working
directory
Expected Behaviour:
2. xx
3. xx
Actual Behaviour:
2. xx
3. x/current/working/directory/*.@(m3|i3|ig|mg)x
Description:
Statetements (2) and (3) are expected to have the same effect in any
situation.
Yet this is apparently not the case if nullglob is enabled.
If the -v option is used to store the result in a variable, printf
seems to ignore the nullglob setting.
