Hi,
I'd like to report a bug with the *--pretty-print* feature of bash. When I
run the following script:
*coproc sleep 5*
the pretty-printed result is
*coproc COPROC* sleep 5
The reason this happens is because within Bash's AST every *coproc* is
given a name regardless of whether the user spec
Hi,
I'm reaching out to report a bug with the -*-pretty-print* option in bash.
Consider the following script:
*case esac in (esac) echo esac;; esac*
When bash is run with *--pretty-print* on this script the result is:
*case esac in esac)echo esac;;esac*
which is no longer v

Hello.
I have noticed that declare -f does not output valid code when a
pattern is `esac'.
Thanks for the report. More precisely, if the first word in the pattern
list is the literal string "esac".

I think that decision was made before POSIX. Besides it's handy when

I've been thinking for a while now that POSIX made a mistake when it
permitted ';;' before the closing 'esac'. If ';;' were prohibited there,
then the parser could be sure that the next word after every ';;' would be a
pattern, even if it looks like 'esac'. But as things stand, there's an
ambigui
