new bug introduced by 'devel' commit 35bc7025c1db5078eb157eea7c0436754ac


From: Adjudicator Darren
Subject: new bug introduced by 'devel' commit 35bc7025c1db5078eb157eea7c0436754ac91aa3
Date: Thu, 13 May 2021 13:11:55 +0000

What's the bug? this:

# if [[ "1" -eq 2 ]]; then echo ; fi
bash: [[: \1: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "\1")

# if [[ 1 -eq "2" ]]; then echo ; fi
bash: [[: \2: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "\2")

It works without any quotes though:
# if [[ 1 -eq 2 ]]; then echo ; fi

More details:

# set -xv
# if [[ "$#" -eq "2" ]]; then echo ; fi
if [[ "$#" -eq "2" ]]; then echo ; fi
+ [[ \0 -eq \2 ]]
bash: [[: \0: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "\0")

(# means I'm root at prompt)

To revert commit 35bc7025c1db5078eb157eea7c0436754ac91aa3 of branch 'devel' I 
had to revert the next(currently latest) commit on branch 'devel' aka 
b304aabc92d3f8f2a4f6ebbc35fa4614bbb83ea8 first!
So now that we're basically at commit 59c575fd914cb362b3fdced2adbc7f9d779bd21f 
it all works:

# if [[ "$#" -eq "2" ]]; then echo ; fi
if [[ "$#" -eq "2" ]]; then echo ; fi
+ [[ 0 -eq 2 ]]
