Hi,
by coincidence I found change in behavior in how bash treats syntax
error. Can you see the difference on your machines too?
$ cat configure
set -o posix
echo ${0.8}
echo after
$ bash a.sh
3.2.52(1)-release
a.sh: line 3: ${0.8}: bad substitution
after
$ bash a.sh
4.3.46(1)-release
build/i86/configure: line 3: ${0.8}: bad substitution
after
$ bash a.sh
4.4.5(1)-release
build/i86/configure: line 3: ${0.8}: bad substitution
I also tried on Gentoo and bash 4.4.5 didn't run the last line similarly
to my tests. Is it intended change?
Thank you
