Bug 23736 – runscript leaves script functions in environment?

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Carl A. Dunham 2003-06-29 23:11:15 UTC]

Feature or bug? 
 
Values like: 
 
... 
KV_major () 
{ 
    local KV=; 
    [ -z "$1" ] && return 1; 
    KV="$(echo "$1" |           awk '{ tmp = $0; gsub(/^[0-9\.]*/, "", tmp); sub(tmp, ""); print }')"; 
    echo "${KV}" | awk -- 'BEGIN { FS = "." } { print $1 }'; 
    return 0 
} 
KV_micro () 
{ 
    local KV=; 
    [ -z "$1" ] && return 1; 
    KV="$(echo "$1" |           awk '{ tmp = $0; gsub(/^[0-9\.]*/, "", tmp); sub(tmp, ""); print }')"; 
    echo "${KV}" | awk -- 'BEGIN { FS = "." } { print $3 }'; 
    return 0 
} 
KV_minor () 
{ 
    local KV=; 
    [ -z "$1" ] && return 1; 
    KV="$(echo "$1" |           awk '{ tmp = $0; gsub(/^[0-9\.]*/, "", tmp); sub(tmp, ""); print }')"; 
    echo "${KV}" | awk -- 'BEGIN { FS = "." } { print $2 }'; 
    return 0 
} 
KV_to_int () 
{ 
    local KV_MAJOR=; 
    local KV_MINOR=; 
    local KV_MICRO=; 
    local KV_int=; 
    [ -z "$1" ] && return 1; 
    KV_MAJOR="$(KV_major "$1")"; 
    KV_MINOR="$(KV_minor "$1")"; 
    KV_MICRO="$(KV_micro "$1")"; 
    KV_int="$((KV_MAJOR * 65536 + KV_MINOR * 256 + KV_MICRO))"; 
    if [ "${KV_int}" -ge 131584 ]; then 
        echo "${KV_int}"; 
        return 0; 
    fi; 
    return 1 
} 
broken () 
{ 
    [ -z "$1" ] && return 1; 
    check_dependency broken $*; 
    return $? 
} 
... 
 
i.e. there is a variable in the environment named "broken" with the value "() {..." 
 
This shows up a few places, but can be seen in all its glory in "phpinfo()" output... 
 
 
You can play around with it using an init script like: 
 
start() { 
	ebegin "Starting evironment echo" 
 
	bash 
 
	eend $? 
} 
 
and running <scriptname> start 
 
using baselayout 1.8.6.8-r1

Well, it is a bash 'feature'.  All functions in files sourced is listed in
the environment, and those are needed in the rc-system.  I did add filtering
of the "dependency" info in .10, so it will be less machine specific info.

[Comment 3 James Hiscock 2003-08-05 05:04:25 UTC]

This doesn't occur with 1.8.6.7, so what's the difference between 1.8.6.7 and 1.8.6.8+?

i'd also point out this odd bug i'm working with ... Bug 25754 ... 
 
glftpd is semi broken when using baselayout .8 and greater ... going back to .7 
fixed it ...
