Description Bill Nottingham 2005-06-30 17:53:38 UTC

Description of problem:

In bash:

for foo in /etc/profile.d/*.csh ; do
   tcsh -n $foo || echo "$foo failed!"
done

This reports errors on scripts that run with tcsh fine.

Makes writing test scripts hard. :/

Comment 1 Miloslav Trmač 2005-07-04 13:30:59 UTC

It's even worse:

  $ tcsh -f -n
  > echo foo
  > /bin/echo foo
  foo

It seems this was broken already in BSD Net/2 csh (only 14 years ago /-: )

Comment 2 Miloslav Trmač 2005-07-07 16:53:59 UTC

Fixed in tcsh-6.14-3. It won't catch much, but at least there should
be no such obvious false positives.
