Just ignore me if I'm out of line 8-)
It's more about style than anything else.
`...` and $(...) are posix and equivalent. I find $(...) easier to use
and cleaner, as nesting is much easier when using $(...). Mixing the two
in one and the same script easily leads to controversy. Picking on
testsuite/runtest this time ;-) See for example this line in the named
script:
[ -n "$bindir" ] || bindir=$(dirname $(pwd))
Can someone provide a backtick equivalent example?
That could even be simplified to:
["$bindir" ] || bindir=$(dirname $(pwd))
without loosing anything. The attached patch is attemting to make
testsuite/runtest more style consistent.
Cheers,
