Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 14
Release Status: release
Description:
Array initialization seems to be broken from typeset
Repeat-By:
typeset -a arr=( 'Hello goodbye' 'peaches pears' )
echo ${arr[0]}
Hello
513 > echo ${arr[0]}
Hello
514 > echo ${arr[1]}
goodbye
*515 > echo ${arr[2]}
peaches
*516 > echo ${arr[3]}
pears
517 >
The same thing but different can be seen by instead saying
typeset -a arr=( [0]='Hello goodbye' [1]='peaches pears' )
*518 > echo ${arr[0]}
Hello
519 > echo ${arr[1]}
peaches
520 > echo ${arr[2]}
pears
521 >
The workaround is to not use initialization in typeset.
typeset -a arr
arr=( 'Hello goodbye' 'peaches pears' )
