Re: zsh-4.2.1: LINENO lost in evals

["Dieter Lambrecht" <dieter.lambrecht@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

the behaviour of LINENO-behavior may be similiar to perl in some curcumstances. Script

#! /bin/ksh

print $LINENO
eval 'print $LINENO'

used with a real ksh on AIX or Solaris always prints the correct LINENO. The behaviour of zsh is incompatible to ksh, even though in "emulate ksh"-mode.

Kind Regards,

Dieter Lambrecht

Welcome back, Peter. :-)

The thing is, Perl has two kinds of "eval":

schaefer[676] perl <<\EOF
print __LINE__."\n";
eval 'print __LINE__."\n"';
eval { print __LINE__."\n"; };
EOF
1
1
3

The kind in braces, which gets precompiled, behaves differently than the
 kind in quotes.  Zsh only has the kind in quotes.
