| Summary | 0000049: Word Expansion text not clear | ||||||
| Description |
2.6 Word Expansions says: If an unquoted '$' is followed by a character that is either not numeric, the name of one of the special parameters (see Section 2.5.2, on page 2302), a valid first character of a variable name, a <left-curly-bracket> ('{') or a <left-parenthesis>, the result is unspecified. Obviously the intention is that the "not" should negate all of the listed types of characters, but that is not how the sentence reads to me. It could perhaps be fixed by changing "either not" to "not either", but the wording would still be somewhat awkward. The action proposed below is a more extensive rewording that hopefully is much clearer. |

| Desired Action |
Change: If an unquoted '$' is followed by a character that is either not numeric, the name of one of the special parameters (see Section 2.5.2, on page 2302), a valid first character of a variable name, a <left-curly-bracket> ('{') or a <left-parenthesis>, the result is unspecified. to: If an unquoted '$' is followed by a character that is not one of the following: * a numeric character * the name of one of the special parameters (see Section 2.5.2, on page 2302) * a valid first character of a variable name * a <left-curly-bracket> ('{') * a <left-parenthesis> the result is unspecified. |
