Interesting shell unportability: $ bash -c 'f=" val" e=; echo "$e"$f' val $ ksh -c 'f=" val" e=; echo "$e"$f' val
ksh93, dash, zsh all do it like ksh. Is that a bug in bash? Anyway, the patch below seems to fix it, but I may want to fix the log entry to pinpoing the culprit correctly. Thanks, Ralf Fix testsuite errors due to shell quoted parameter expansion issue. * tests/getopt-m4sh.at (_LT_AT_GETOPT_M4SH_SETUP): Insert space between double-quoted and unquoted shell parameter, as ksh may add one in its output anyway if the expansion of the second one starts with a space. (short option splitting, enhanced shell short option splitting) (long option splitting, XSI long option splitting): Add space in expected output. Fixes testsuite failures on AIX, FreeBSD, etc. diff --git a/tests/getopt-m4sh.at b/tests/getopt-m4sh.at index ca5d5b8..768d595 100644 --- a/tests/getopt-m4sh.at +++ b/tests/getopt-m4sh.at @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ M4SH_GETOPTS( [i], [--install], [], [options="$options install"], [v], [--verbose], [], [options="$options verbose"], [!], [--ltdl], [false],[options="$options ltdl=$optarg"], -[echo "$list"$options]) +[echo "$list" $options]) ]]) m4_pattern_forbid([m4_include]) m4_pattern_forbid([AS_INIT]) @@ -87,7 +87,7 @@ rm -f options && mv options.tmp options]) AT_SETUP([short option splitting]) AT_DATA(expout, -[[force verbose install +[[ force verbose install ]]) _LT_AT_GETOPT_M4SH_SETUP @@ -103,7 +103,7 @@ AT_SETUP([enhanced shell short option splitting]) AT_CHECK([fgrep '# Extended-shell func_split_short_opt' $abs_top_builddir/libtool >/dev/null 2>&1 || (exit 77)]) AT_DATA(expout, -[[force verbose install +[[ force verbose install ]]) _LT_AT_GETOPT_M4SH_SETUP @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ AT_CLEANUP AT_SETUP([long option splitting]) AT_DATA(expout, -[[ltdl=long +[[ ltdl=long ]]) _LT_AT_GETOPT_M4SH_SETUP @@ -137,7 +137,7 @@ AT_SETUP([XSI long option splitting]) AT_CHECK([fgrep '# Extended-shell func_split_long_opt' $abs_top_builddir/libtool >/dev/null 2>&1 || (exit 77)]) AT_DATA(expout, -[[ltdl=long +[[ ltdl=long ]]) _LT_AT_GETOPT_M4SH_SETUP
