| Summary | 0001145: compound-list does not required a terminating semicolon even in compound commands, which is contradictory with implementations. | ||||
| Description | The shell grammar is defining the non terminal for compound_list as follows: compound_list : linebreak term | linebreak term separator ; and this non terminal is used in compound_commands like "until" for instance: until_clause : Until compound_list do_group ; However, a "term" may derive a simple command like "a". Therefore, the following script seems accepted by the grammar: until a do b; done while the usual shell implementations require a semicolon or a newline to be inserted just after the "a" for this script to be syntactically correct. | ||||
| Desired Action | Fix the grammar to comply with implementations. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| related to | 0001046 | Closed | 1003.1(2013)/Issue7+TC1 | Grammar production if_clause allows "if command then" |
|
|
The command: until a do b; done is not accepted by the grammar because in the grammar do_group requires a "do" keyword to be present, and this command does not have one. (The word "do" in this command is an ordinary word to be passed as an argument to "a"; it is not recognised as a keyword.) This appears to be the same misinterpretation of the shell grammar rules as was made in 0001046. Update: this bug was discussed in the Nov 29, 2018 teleconference and is being rejected for the reason given above. |
