--- Comment #1 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> ---
The behaviour indeed changed, deliberately.

What POSIX intends exactly may not be fully clear (see discussion on the Au=
stin
Group mailing list in March 2017), but it states that -- and ++ need not be
supported. That is, they may be supported and $((--a)) may decrement a and
expand to the decremented value.

In order to avoid ambiguity, I changed sh such that it recognizes the -- an=
d ++
tokens (following C's "maximal munch" rule) and reject them.

If you want two minus signs in sequence, separate them with a space or use
parentheses.

--=20
