posix handling of mapfile: SEGFAULT

Show key headers only | View raw

This was in the 2nd half of the note in the read&env+POSIX=>SEGFAULT,
but think it got missed by focus on the 1st part.

# I was doing some syntax testing and decided to try posix mode
# (as it disallows various  vague or unclear constructs)
# in the working cases yielded the same results, but
# in 2 cases it returned a SEGFAULT.

>  b= mapfile b <<< x; echo $?
0
>  declare -p b
Segmentation fault (core dumped)  

# another example of bash not returning consistent errno results
# ( |;>|  ducking while smirking)  ok, I vote for disallowing this
# type of result return.

The 2nd flavor:

>  b= mapfile b a <<< x
>  declare -p a b
bash: declare: a: not found
Segmentation fault (core dumped) 

# odd, this time it dumped on printing 'b'; still not so great
# status returning there...

# hmmm... I'm guessing that fixing these to not return
# segfaults won't be likely to get me better status
# returns for my type -P problems....*sigh*
