RE: List of keys of an associative array

[dnade.ext]

Ha. Indeed, if i use declare –A, it works.

But why is bash letting me use foo[bar]=something in the first place, if I 
don’t declare foo as an associative array ?
Maybe the bug’s here.

       Hello

For regular arrays, we can get the list of keys by using the form 
${!some_array[@]}.
But this just doesn’t work for associative arrays.

${!some_associative_array[@]} is actually 0. Is that a bug ?
Is there another way to get the list of keys available in an associative array ?


$ declare -A a;a[foo]=bar;a[baz]=bux;echo ${!a[@]}
baz foo
