print: don't use () in bash-style function definitions about sh HOT 7 CLOSED

hmm on the other hand https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Shell-Functions.html#Shell-Functions list it as optional 😓

from sh.

Surely you mean when they are formatted?

Using () in the bash style is valid syntax and works in bash. The reason behind using it, besides consistency, is so that the format is less confusing. See 8f92740.

from sh.

To expand on the commit above - if we don't introduce (), we would break the following program:

function foo() (bar)

(subshells as function bodies are valid).

from sh.

Right. Sorry, checked issues but not the code :(. Guess its time to dig into sh.vim I think

from sh.

No problem :) Just wanted to point out why I was forced to do this. I too was trying not to use () in this case.

from sh.

Yep it makes sense and TBH it's not the first time I've run into this issue.

from sh.

just fyi for anyone else using (neo)vim and hitting this, updating indent/sh.vim via https://github.com/chrisbra/vim-sh-indent either as a plugin or once it gets pulled into vim works.
