Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 23 Release Status: release Description: A script contains a function definition followed by declare -fx funcname but the declare(1) doesn't execute and the function is not exported after source'ing the file. In addition, executing 'declare -p -F | grep "funcname"' does not produce any output (making me think that declare(1) isn't being executed at all). Repeat-By: $ cat <<__EOF__ >/tmp/bashbug.bash > function myfunc { > echo "Running..." > } > declare -fx myfunc > declare -p -F | grep "myfunc" > __EOF__ $ source /tmp/bashbug.bash The function is now defined, but is not exported. And the output of the last command never appears, but if the same command is executed now -- at the interactive shell prompt -- it does show that 'myfunc' is defined. Fix: Strangely, if I create another script that sources the first one, then execute the declare commands in that second script, everything works when I source the second file?!
