Allan: Thank you for your work on this issue. I tried these two patches and
now pacman doesn't seem to suffer from the "--with-arch=${_arch}" false
positive that originally made me look into this. This is definitely an
improvement.
It looks like you are both checking the variable's current status (like my
patch does) and you are also using grep to check variables defined inside the
package functions.
Your code for checking whether a variable is defined as an array seems pretty
complicated and I'm not sure why it was written that way. The following line
at the top of a PKGBUILD will trigger a false positive because of the way grep
is used:
pkgdesc="declare -a"
The solution I used in my patch was to require that "declare -a" appears the
beginning of the output from declare. You could do that with grep, but bash
has a built-in feature for that too:
> if [[ "$(declare -p $i)" == "declare -a "* ]]; then
Also, just a minor comment: the variables "a", "v", and "pkg" should probably
local.
