Local arrays

["Atte Peltomäki" <atte.peltomaki@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

Can someone explain the following behaviour in declaring local arrays?

% F () { local -a foo=(one two three); echo $foo ; }
% F
F: unknown file attribute

% F () { local foo=(one two); echo $foo ; }
% F
F: missing end of string

% F () { local foo=(moi hei); echo $foo ; }
% F
F: number expected

% F () { local -a foo; foo=(one two three); echo $foo ; }
% F
one two three

% echo $ZSH_VERSION
4.3.17
