# |
# | After upgrading gawk from woody to sid, I found one of my scripts not
# | working. I explored this a little and found minimal script to reproduce
# | the problem.
# |
# | File bug.awk is the following:
# |
BEGIN {
WI_total = 0
}
{
WI_total++
{
split ( $1, sws, "_" )
a = sws[1]
}
print(sws[1])
print(a)
}
# |
# | The second print should output the same what first print poutputs, but
# | with gawk 3.1.2-2 it outputs nothing:
# | > echo a_b | gawk -f bug.awk
# | a
# |
# | >
# |
# | With gawk from stable I get what expexted:
# | > echo a_b | gawk -f bug.awk
# | a
# | a
# | >
# |
# | If I remove "WI_total++" line, bug disapperas
