Summary | 0000521: Behaviour of !(command) should not be specified | ||||||
Description |
Currently section 2.9.2, in combination with the tokenisation rules and grammar, requires that !(command) is treated as a pipeline beginning with the reserved word ! and containing a subshell command. However, in ksh88 this was treated as a negated pathname expansion !(pattern), not a negated subshell command. Since the POSIX shell description was based on ksh88, specifying negated pipelines in a way that made ksh88 non-conforming was clearly not intended. |
||||||
Desired Action |
After: [!] command1 [ | command2 ...] add a new paragraph: If the pipeline begins with the reserved word ! and command1 is a subshell command, the application shall ensure that the ( operator at the beginning of command1 is separated from the ! by one or more <blank> characters. The behavior of the reserved word ! immediately followed by the ( operator is unspecified. Cross-volume change to XRAT... At page 3665 line 124711 section C.2.9.2 after: The reserved word ! allows more flexible testing using AND and OR lists. append this to the sentence: The behavior of !( is unspecified because in the Korn Shell this introduces a negated pathname expansion. Portable applications need to separate the ! and ( to ensure the command is treated as a negated subshell. |
