| Summary | 0000045: Inconsistent description of list | ||||
| Description | There is an inconsistency between formal definition of list in Shell Language Grammar and its informal description. The informal description of a list in section 2.9.3 Lists reads: 73195 A list is a sequence of one or more AND-OR lists separated by the operators ; and & and 73196 optionally terminated by ;, &, or <newline>. The formal definition of a list is as follows: 73526 list : list separator_op and_or 73527 | and_or 73528 ; ... 73669 separator_op : & 73670 | ; 73671 ; This definition corresponds to the first part of the description only: "A list is a sequence of one or more AND-OR lists separated by the operators ';' and '&'". | ||||
| Desired Action | Fix the inconsistency. For example, replace A list is a sequence of one or more AND-OR lists separated by the operators ; and & and optionally terminated by ;, &, or <newline>. by A list is a sequence of one or more AND-OR lists separated by the operators ; and &. | ||||

Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard states the requirements for the shell grammar , and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- None. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- Change from: (P2319, L73195-73196) A list is a sequence of one or more AND-OR lists separated by the operators ; and & and optionally terminated by ;, &, or <newline>. To: A list is a sequence of one or more AND-OR lists separated by the operators ; and &. Change from (P2319, L73201-73202) "A ';' or <newline> terminator shall cause the preceding AND-OR list to be executed sequentially; an '&' shall cause asynchronous execution of the preceding AND-OR list." To: "A ';' separator or a ';' or <newline> terminator shall cause the preceding AND-OR list to be executed sequentially; an '&' separator or terminator shall cause asynchronous execution of the preceding AND-OR list."
