Here's another good one, this time from ibm-jdk-bin: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
if [ !`use X` ] ; then |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Btw, every one of these that I have posted is truly broken, i.e. it |
| 6 |
will probably do the opposite of what the author intended, if bash can |
| 7 |
manage to execute it at all. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
In this example, the condition will always be true, because both ! and |
| 10 |
!X are non-empty strings. The correct version would be |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
if [ ! "`use X`" ] ; then |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
but the REALLY CORRECT version is |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
if ! use X; then |
| 17 |
|
