> http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=217 Thanks for mentioning that; I didn't know it. However, from that URL it still appears that pdksh is buggy. The new rule says that '((FOO))' is special if FOO is a syntactically valid arithmetic expression. But in the above example, the expression '((unset $asvar) ...)' surely would not be syntactically valid to pdksh, and therefore '((' should not be special there. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
