Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 13:35:10 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Jan Zeleny 2010-05-27 15:28:56 UTC

As for the second mentioned bug:

I don't see this as an error. Operator "in" returns logical value, thus its result (C in B) shouldn't be looked up in A. (or to be precise, it could be, but it makes no sense to me).

Do you have any manual reference saying this should be possible? Did you report this upstream? I didn't notice any mail in their mailing list regarding this. I certainly won't change this behavior without upstream supporting it.

Comment 3 Jan Zeleny 2010-06-04 09:43:21 UTC

If you insist on behaviour you wrote, please contact upstream developers and consult it with them, maybe they will consider this. But from my point of view current behavior is logical and intentional, so I won't implement other one. I'm closing this bug.

Comment 4 Ulrich Drepper 2010-06-15 01:14:38 UTC

It is a bug as you can see when you use a one-dimensional array B instead of a two-dimensional.

I've contacted the upstream maintainer and expect it to be fixed there.  A patch should then be backported.
