Bash Version: 5.0
Patch Level: 7
Release Status: release

Description:

    Bash appears to move the closing '}'
    from after a closing here-document delimiter
    to the start of the here-doc body
    (just after the opening here-document delimiter)
    in a function definition contained within
    another function definition.

    This conflicts with later invocations of /bin/sh , like:

        $ /bin/sh
        sh: demo: line 22: syntax error: unexpected end of file
        sh: error importing function definition for `demo'

    Workaround:
        assign the text within the here-doc to a variable.

Repeat-By:

    #!/bin/bash
    bash --version 2>&1 | head -1
    demo () {
        # problem
        function sub () { cat<<'EOFsub'
            sub
    EOFsub
        }       # this brace is moved to just after <<'EOFsub'
        # workaround
        function var () { local var="$(cat<<'EOFvar'
            var
    EOFvar
    )"
        echo "$var"
        };
    cat<<EOF
            demo
    EOF
    # invoke sub-functions
    sub;
    var
    }
    declare -f -x demo
    # display function definitions with moved '}'
    typeset -f -p demo
    # invoke main function
    demo
