https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218943 John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|New |Closed Resolution|--- |Works As Intended --- Comment #2 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com> --- I see. Not that bash is necessarily a good model to follow, but it supports the --/++ operators and is able to distinguish between the context when it's an operator and a double negation. % bash -c 'var=--123; echo $(($var)); echo $((--var))' 123 122 % bash -c 'echo $((--123))' 123 Same with/without POSIXLY_CORRECT. But thanks for the explanation. Closing this as 'works as intended'. I guess sh(1) could be enhanced to distinguish - from context - between the operator and a double negation (and only throw the error for the former case). I'm sure it's quite tricky. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
