Bash Version: 4.2 Patch Level: 24 Release Status: release Description: Arrays defined in a function with declare -ag are not available outside the function if an assignment is done with the declaration, though it works if the assignment is done seperately from the declaration. Repeat-By: $ f() { declare -ag a=(my array); }; f; declare -p a declare -a a='()' $ f() { declare -ag a; a=(my array); }; f; declare -p a declare -a a='([0]="my" [1]="array")'
