https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=296207 pprocacci@gmail.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |pprocacci@gmail.com --- Comment #1 from pprocacci@gmail.com --- "The vast majority of shells don't do that." -- This simply isn't true. - sh (ash-derived) - dash (Debian/Ubuntu default sh) - BusyBox ash - mksh (MirBSD Korn shell) - pdksh (Public Domain Korn Shell) - zsh All the above shells do exactly as you describe. They inherit the callers variable stack. Outside of bash I don't know of a single shell that does this. If you want portability, the answer is 'local myvar=""'. That works everywhere. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
