Re: Wrong line numbers in errors

[Matthias Urlichs via Bug reports for the GNU Bourne Again SHell]

Hello Chet,





Thus I conclude that your fix from 2022 was incomplete.

Proof:

~/src/bash/bash-5.2.21$ grep define.PATCH patchlevel.h
#define PATCHLEVEL 26
~/src/bash/bash-5.2.21$ make
[…]
     * GNU bash, version 5.2.26(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
~/src/bash/bash-5.2.21$ ./bash /tmp/error.sh
Test x
Test x
Test x
Test x
Test x
/tmp/error.sh: line 4: nope: unbound variable

The release of 5.2 is from October 2022 and thus should include a patch for this issue. To double-check, I just downloaded, patched up, and built 5.2.26. It also fails.

#!/bin/bash
set -u
( echo x ) | while read f ; do
     echo Test $f
     echo Test $f
     echo Test $f
     echo Test $f
     echo Test $f
done
echo $nope

Thanks for the report. This was fixed in September, 2022, the result of
