Se você não é avesso a usar eval
:
$ busybox ash -c 'a()(alias x=echo\ hi;type x;alias;eval x);a'
x is an alias for echo hi
x='echo hi'
hi
Não sei por que isso funciona.
Veja o código abaixo:
a()(alias x=echo\ hi;type x;alias;x);a
Eu tenho um alias dentro de uma função, eu não quero mudar o ambiente externo (é por isso que eu estou usando ()
em vez de {}
), mesmo o código dizendo que o alias foi definido com sucesso, ele não trabalho, verifique a saída:
x is aliased to 'echo hi'
...
alias x='echo hi'
x: command not found
Ouvi falar sobre shopt -s expand_aliases
resolveria, mas não só não teve efeito algum, como também não pude depender de bash
, porque estou trabalhando com dd-wrt
busybox
ash
.
Alguém conhece esse problema?
Eu não uso dash
, mas aqui está o que o bash
manual tem a dizer sobre aliases:
The rules concerning the definition and use of aliases are somewhat confusing. Bash always reads at least one complete line of input before executing any of the com‐ mands on that line. Aliases are expanded when a command is read, not when it is executed. Therefore, an alias definition appearing on the same line as another command does not take effect until the next line of input is read. The commands following the alias definition on that line are not affected by the new alias. This behavior is also an issue when functions are executed. Aliases are expanded when a function definition is read, not when the function is executed, because a function definition is itself a compound command. As a consequence, aliases defined in a function are not available until after that function is executed. To be safe, always put alias definitions on a separate line, and do not use alias in compound commands.
E outra citação, desta vez de zsh
manual:
There is a commonly encountered problem with aliases illustrated by the following code:
alias echobar='echo bar'; echobar
This prints a message that the command echobar could not be found. This happens because aliases are expanded when the code is read in; the entire line is read in one go, so that when echobar is executed it is too late to expand the newly defined alias. This is often a problem in shell scripts, functions, and code executed with
source' or
.'. Consequently, use of functions rather than aliases is recommended in non-interactive code.
Eu tenho certeza que é semelhante em outros shells também.
