Description:
Not sure if this is a bug (it does bug me a little), however:
main(){
shopt -s extglob
local line=' x bar'
echo "${line##*( )}"
case "$line" in
*( )x*) ;;
*) ;;
esac
}
fails with a syntax error on the first parenthesis in the case statement. It
does turn extglob on
in other contexts (the echo line), but the extglob in the case statement
fails.
Interestingly, moving `shopt -s extglob` outside of main fixes the problem.
Fix:
