Machine Type: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 20
Release Status: release
Description:
If you have a function, which exports another function, and that
exported function contains a generic for loop, the LINENO variable is
incorrect for loops in future functions which contain another loop which
uses ((..)) notation.
Whilst the above system information says bash 4.4.20 20, I have
seen it in 3.2.51 and 4.2.46 too.
Repeat-By:
Below is a sample script to replicate the bug in LINENO.
The LINENO variable for the 'i' loop which is printed out by the
PS4 is incorrect when that DO_BACKUP function is exported, and the second
'j' loop is uncommented. If you instead uncomment the first 'j' loop, the
LINENO variables are correct. If DO_BACKUP does not have a loop inside it,
the LINENO variables are all correct.
#!/bin/bash
export PS4='+L$LINENO + '
setup() {
DO_BACKUP() {
for d in 1 2 3; do
break
done
}
export -f DO_BACKUP
}
run() {
for i in 1; do
#for j in 1; do # Uncomment this 'j' loop instead of the next and
LINENO is correct
#for ((j=1; j<=2; j++)); do # Uncomment this 'j' loop and LINENO
is incorrect
true
done
done
}
set -x
setup
run
########
Example output with first 'j' loop uncommented:
$ bash run.sh
+L20 + setup
+L9 + export -f DO_BACKUP
+L21 + run
+L12 + for i in 1
+L13 + for j in 1
+L15 + true
Example output with the second 'j' loop uncommented:
$ bash run.sh
+L20 + setup
+L9 + export -f DO_BACKUP
+L21 + run
+L5 + for i in 1
+L14 + (( j=1 ))
+L14 + (( j<=1 ))
+L15 + true
+L14 + (( j++ ))
+L14 + (( j<=1 ))
