Dear DEV TEAM,
I want to report a strange *printf* behaviour which appears in debug mode +
no arguments.
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
BASH_VERSION="5.2.15(1)-release"
OS: MACOS
BASH_VERSION="5.2.21(1)-release"
The culprit function is *printargs() { printf "%s|" "$@"; echo; }*
calling it with no arguments it prints as expected the pipe: "|"
while in debug mode (set -x), only a *blank line* is printed:
$ printargs
printargs
+ printargs
+ printf %sx
x+ echo
$
I noticed that the expected pipe is printed in case of:
1. adding a new line after the pipe
printargs() { printf "%s|*\n*" "$@"; echo; }
2. suppressing STDERR
printargs *2>/dev/null*
Could you check it out too, please?
With much consideration and gratitude - thank you!
