[Bashdb-devel] bash 3.1 vs bash 3.0 differences

[R. B. <ro...@pa...>]

I've started to look into making the bash debugger work on bash 3.1.
As with bash 3.0, I've checked this in as a separate location
(bash-3.1) rather than make a branch of either bash-3.00 or of bashdb
(for 2.05b).

In bash 3.0 whereas in the bashdb code one could do this:

    local -a fns_a=(`declare -F`)

what now seems to work is:

    local -a fns_a
    fns_a=(`declare -F`)

using $() for `' makes no difference.

And instead of:
      if [[  $basename == '$cdir' ]] ; then

what seems to work is:
      if [  $basename = '\$cdir' ] ; then

I don't know if the incompatibility is intentional or not; if the
mistake was my prior misuse of the language. I report the above in
case others have problems or in case someone else wants to investigate
or make a bug report if one is warranted.
