Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release
Description:
Sourcing or eval'ing code which touches a shopt setting, causes
`history' to disappear from the SHELLOPTS environment variable.
Repeat-By:
$ # Make sure 'history' is on, and 'verbose' is off
$ set -o history +o verbose
$ echo $SHELLOPTS
braceexpand:histexpand:history:interactive-comments:monitor:vi
$ eval set +o verbose
$ echo $SHELLOPTS # 'history' is now gone
braceexpand:histexpand:interactive-comments:monitor:vi
The same happens if you source a file (e.g. t.sh) with just one
command (e.g. set -o nounset):
$ set -o history
$ echo $SHELLOPTS
braceexpand:histexpand:history:interactive-comments:monitor:vi
$ cat t.sh
set -o nounset
$ source t.sh
$ echo $SHELLOPTS # 'history' is now gone
braceexpand:histexpand:interactive-comments:monitor:nounset:vi
It doesn't occur if the shopt setting is touched directly (without
source or eval):
$ # Make sure 'history' is on, and 'verbose' is off
$ set -o history +o verbose
$ echo $SHELLOPTS
braceexpand:histexpand:history:interactive-comments:monitor:vi
$ set +o verbose
$ echo $SHELLOPTS # 'history' is still there
braceexpand:histexpand:history:interactive-comments:monitor:vi
