https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D218943 Bug ID: 218943 Summary: /bin/sh regression? with doubly negated numbers Product: Base System Version: 11.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com /bin/sh has changed behavior on handling doubly (or more) negated numbers: sh -c 'var=3D--123; echo $(($var))' Under FreeBSD 9 and earlier, it "works": 123 Under 10 & 11: sh: arithmetic expression: expecting primary: "--123" I'm trying to find the posix stance on this. Please add a note here if you know where posix would weigh in on that kind of arithmetic expression. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
