Re: [Bashdb-devel] bashdb 4.4-0.92: 5 tests fail

[Rocky B. <roc...@gm...>]

Jean-Christophe -

Thanks for reporting the problems you encountered. I have a little trouble
reading the report because, although there is a bit that is specific,
various oher details aren't there.

So here's my take on what the log given.

'readc.c:848:46: error: too few arguments to function
> ‘valid_array_reference’'


is probably caused by a change in the bash API to the function
valid_array_reference().
The offending line in bashdb is:

      if (legal_identifier (varname) == 0 && valid_array_reference
(varname) == 0)

What version of bash did you run against? If you or someone eise in the
devel lis is up for it, perhaps you can figure how to change read.c for the
changed var_array_reference call.

If you remove  --with-bash-src=/home/actionmystique/Program-Files/Ubuntu/Bash/git-bash
from the configure option, bashdb won't try to compile read.c.

That particular function that is getting compiled allows bashdb to do a
command-completion kind of read inside it debugger read loop. It not needed
for overall basic functioning, but I guess it is a nice thing to have.
Perhaps bash now offers a way to handle completion inside its builtin
read() function. If that's the case we should remove compiling this.
Perhaps you or someone can check?

As for setting $ac_aux_dir to '.', that may work for you in your
environment but it is symptomatic of some sort of configure script failure.
Any shell variable that starts ac_ is something the configure script sets
(ac stands I guess for autoconf). So if this is set wrong or is not set,
then things are probably misconfigured. When bashdb is misconfigured, the
test scripts may fail.
