---------------------------------------- Bug #22454: match variables are only partially shadowed https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22454#change-101031 * Author: Henrik Lindberg * Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: language * Target version: 3.5.0 * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: language * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/2123 ---------------------------------------- Match expressions have the side effect of setting `$0`-`$n` numerical variables to the matched, and each matched capture. As many variables as there are captures are set. The implementation in scope creates a new ephemeral scope-level for each match expression. As an example: if 'foobar' =~ /(f)(o)(o)(b)(a)(r)/ and 'foo' =~ /(f)(o)(o)/ { notice $4 } Outputs "b" since the second match did not have a $4. This is surprising. The most nested ephemeral scope should be responsible for returning all numeric variables (i.e. from the last successful match). This behavior have been in place for quite some time. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
