Hi, I know that ASSIGNMENT_WORD in parse.y is for assignments like x=10.
But in the grammar rules. I don't see any difference between them in terms of actions to take. Where is the code that deals with them differently? Also, why parse x=10 as a single token. Why not parse it as three tokens "x" "=" "10"? Is it because one wants to control the complexity of the grammar? Thanks. https://github.com/mfragkoulis/bash/blob/master/parse.y#L710 simple_command_element: WORD { $$.word = $1; $$.redirect = 0; } | ASSIGNMENT_WORD { $$.word = $1; $$.redirect = 0; } https://github.com/mfragkoulis/bash/blob/master/parse.y#L3098 if (token_to_read == WORD || token_to_read == ASSIGNMENT_WORD) { yylval.word = word_desc_to_read; word_desc_to_read = (WORD_DESC *)NULL; } https://github.com/mfragkoulis/bash/blob/master/parse.y#L5748 case WORD: case ASSIGNMENT_WORD: if (yylval.word) t = savestring (yylval.word->word); break; https://github.com/mfragkoulis/bash/blob/master/parse.y#L6030 if (tok != WORD && tok != ASSIGNMENT_WORD) -- Regards, Peng
