localThat’s right bash --posix is NOT FUCKING POSIX! Then again, neither
is the default behavior or ash, dash, and the default setting for
shellcheck (which is such a shitty tool the more I use it made my
morons who have no fucking idea what POSIX actually means and are
leading a ton of beginners to their peril if they ever have to work
with an AIX system, or any of the millions of UNIX systems with actual
POSIX shell on them).
The issue is local, which we all know and love to make variables
behave as most humans expect within functions. But local is NOT
FUCKING POSIX! My God, this is where the whole $REPLY convention came
from in the first place. I hate it, but that is simply the reality.
This leaves me super conflicted. The chances of someone being burned by
local very low, but still.
This leaves me wondering what other non-POSIX lies are out there. For example, I could swear that parameter expansion of any kind is not.
