Hello automakers.
I recently discovered that the recommended way to run the automake's
test scripts with Zsh, as described in the `tests/README' file (and
introduced by a patch of myself!), does not work with Zsh version 3.x.
This is because Zsh3 does not recognize the `--no-function-argzero'
option:
$ zsh4 --no-function-argzero -c 'setopt | grep functionargzero'
nofunctionargzero
$ zsh3 --no-function-argzero -c 'setopt | grep functionargzero'
-c: can't open input file: -c
Luckily, there is an absolutely equivalent way to run Zsh with the
NO_FUNCTION_ARGZERO option on from the beginning, which works for
both Zsh3 and Zsh4:
$ zsh4 -o no_function_argzero -c 'setopt | grep functionargzero'
nofunctionargzero
$ zsh3 -o no_function_argzero -c 'setopt | grep functionargzero'
nofunctionargzero
The fix to tests/README is very easy (just one line is changed),
and is done in the attached patch.
Regards,
Stefano
