Hi, when the option compatXX iss et through BASHOPTS, shopt will report it tob e set, but it is not applied. A simple test case is:
# compat31 enables the quoting of regular expressions bash -c ' [[ "1" =~ "[1]" ]]; echo $?' --> Outut is 1 bash -c 'shopt -s compat31; [[ "1" =~ "[1]" ]]; echo $?' --> Output is 0 # from a non bash shell # setting compat31 through BASHOPTS BASHOPTS=compat31 bash -c 'shopt compat31; [[ "1" =~ "[1]" ]]; echo $?' This should output compat31 on 0 It will output compat31 on 1 So it pretends, that compat31 is enabled, but it is not. The reason is, that for options set using BASHOPTS the set_funcs are not called. The attached patch will fix this. Greetings, Jörg
