Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 12
Release Status: release

Description:
        When a function looks like it is defined in multiple sources,
        BASH_SOURCE does not reliably report it has defined
        where it was actually defined. It seems to prefer the
        last source bash has visited.
        
        This is not related to a multiple definition. When I
        say 'looks like', it actually 'looks like' from an
        external point of view, but it does not from a
        runtime point of view.
        
        Running the attached example, we get:
        
        $ ./bash-4.4.12 call-stack.sh
        1   def-2.sh:5   def-1.sh x_trace_stack
        1   def-2.sh:5   def-2.sh x_trace_stack
        
        The cells 'def-2.sh:5' are build from BASH_SOURCE and
        BASH_LINENO. They should report in order:
            def-1.sh:5
            def-2.sh:5
        
        but the first one is wrong. Note that BASH_LINENO is correct,
        and this is unlikely due to chance.

Repeat-By:
        Here are three scripts:
        - call-stack.sh
        - def-1.sh
        - def-2.sh
        
        Both def-1.sh and def-2.sh /may/ define functions 'def1'
        and 'def2',
        but actually def-1.sh defines 'def1' while def-2.sh
        defines 'def2',
        as those functions do report themselves.
        
        Sourcing call-stack.sh, we observe that both 'def1' and
        'def2' are reported by BASH_SOURCE to be defined in def-2.sh.
        
        Scripts:
        
        # ---------------------------------------------------------
        # call-stack.sh
        #!/bin/bash
        
        x_trace_stack() { # [MESSAGE START STOP] # Dump call stack #1
          # START STOP unused
          local -i i=1
          local ONCE="$1"; shift
        
          printf "%d %15s:%-3s %8s %s\n"      \
                   $i                           \
                   "${BASH_SOURCE[i]}"                \
                   "${BASH_LINENO[i-1]}"      \
                   "$ONCE"                    \
                   "${FUNCNAME[i-1]}"
        }
        
        . def-1.sh
        . def-2.sh
        
        def1
        def2
        
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        # def-1.sh
        #!/bin/bash

        _() { [ $1 = def1 ]; }
        
        _ def1 && def1() { x_trace_stack def-1.sh 1 2; }
        _ def2 && def2() { x_trace_stack def-1.sh 1 2; }
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        # def-2.sh
        #!/bin/bash
        
        _() { [ $1 = def2 ]; }
        
        _ def2 && def2() { x_trace_stack def-2.sh 1 2; }
        _ def1 && def1() { x_trace_stack def-2.sh 1 2; }
