For example, + + typeset -A assoc=(one un two deux three trois) + name=assoc + print ${${(P)name}[one]} + +now prints "un". In previous versions of the shell the value of the +substitution was fully expanded on return from ${(P)name}, making +associative array subscripting difficult. As a side effect, flags +for formatting appearing in the inner substitution now affect the +substitution of the name (into "assoc" in this case), which is not +normally useful: flags that should apply to the value must be in the +outer substitution. + +The GLOB_STAR_SHORT option allows the pattern **/* to be shortened to +just ** if no / follows. so **.c searches recursively for a file whose +name has the suffix ".c". + +The effect of the WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL option has been significantly +extended, so expect it to cause additional warning messages about +parameters created globally within function scope. + Changes from 5.1 to 5.1.1 ------------------------- |
