Re: language inconsistency(wart) & RFE

Show key headers only | View raw

Here is an example of what I consider to be
strange and/or inconsistent behavior (  tests 
2 & 3 fail).

test 3's failure is a real puzzler:

-----
#!/bin/bash

shopt -s expand_aliases ; alias my=declare
alias array='my -a' int='my -i'

dmp () { printf "%q\n" "${*:?}" ; }

ip=10.20.30.40
array  parts=()
(IFS=.; parts=( $ip ) )
array answers=( 
  '10 20 30 40'  
  '1 .2 .3 .4'
  '1 222 .3 .4' 
  '192.168.0.1/24::{ [ipaddr]="192.168.0.1/24" [address]="192.168.0.1" [prefixlen]="24" ; }'
)
#


array addr_fields=(ipaddr address prefixlen)
                  
assignparts() { parts=( $ip ) ; }

tst0 () { my IFS=. ; assignparts ; echo -E "${parts[@]}"; }
tst1 () { my IFS=0 ; assignparts ; echo -E "${parts[@]}"; }
tst2 () { parts[1]=222; echo -E "${parts[@]}" ; }

tst3 () {
  my ipaddr="$1"; shift;
  int status=0
  my pat='^([^/]+)/([0-9]+)\s*$'
  my address prefixlen
  if [[ ! $ipaddr =~ $pat ]]; then
    echo >&2 "Error in ip/netsize format: \"$ipaddr\""
    status=1
  else
    address=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
    prefixlen=${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
    my out=""
    for flds in "${addr_fields[@]}"; do
      out+="[$flds]=\"${!flds}\" "
    done
    printf "{ %s; }" "$out"
  fi
  return $status
}



int passno=0 tests=0
my fmt="Case %d got/Expected:\n \"%q\"\n \"%q\"\n"


testor () {
  int tstno
  my out=""
  for tstno in {0..3}; do
    tests+=1
    exp="${answers[tstno]}"
    if [[ $exp =~ :: ]]; then
      my args="${exp%::*}"
      exp="${exp#*::}"
      out="$(tst$tstno $args)"
    else
      out="$(tst$tstno)"
    fi
    if [[ $out != $exp ]]; then
      printf >&2 "$fmt" "$tstno" "$out" "$exp"
      continue
    fi
    passno+=1
  done
}

testor
echo "Passed $passno/$tests tests."
----------------

output:
Case 2 got/Expected:
 "222"
 "1\ 222\ .3\ .4"
Case 3 got/Expected:
 "\{\ \[ipaddr\]=\"192.168.0.1/24\"\ \[address\]=\"192.168.0.1\"\ \[prefixlen\]=\"24\"\ \;\ \}"
 "\{\ \[ipaddr\]=\"192.168.0.1/24\"\ \[address\]=\"192.168.0.1\"\ \[prefixlen\]=\"24\"\ \;\ \}"
Passed 2/4 tests.

The outputs for case 3 look identical -- I was using %s to print
them out, but switched to "%q", to ensure no hidden chars...

case 2 --
???  Why didn't it only change the 1 member?
