[PATCH] bash-completion: Support running with set -u in bash 4.0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

Starting with bash 4.0-beta, under "set -u" semantics, accessing
undefined local variables is now an error.  Some user environments
enable this setting in the interactive shell, with unpleasant results:

 knirch@traktor:~/source/external/git (master)$ set -o unset
 bash: w: unbound variable
 knirch@traktor:~/source/external/git$ git ^Ibash: command: unbound variable
 bash: w: unbound variable
 knirch@traktor:~/source/external/git$
 bash: w: unbound variable
 knirch@traktor:~/source/external/git$

Most of these variables should be bound to "".  In contexts where the
completion functions should access an undefined variable, accessing a
default empty string (as in "${1-}" instead of "$1") is a reasonable
way to cope, as it silences the undefined variable error while still
supplying an empty string.

Sent by Thomas to <http://bugs.debian.org/571087> (thanks!).  One
might use 'set -u' in an interactive shell while manually
single-stepping through a shell script, perhaps.
