Subject: 23.4; shell-script: << does not always mean here-document
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:24:00 +0200

When I type << in shell-script mode, Emacs thinks this begins a
here-document. This is not always the case, e.g. in the following
lines:

foo='bar<<'
echo "${foo%<<}"
echo $((1<<8))

And specifically for zsh:

echo $[1<<8]

Emacs handles these correctly, AFAICT.

But these are confused for here-documents, indeed.

No, unless there is something specific to Debian or this has been
fixed recently (Debian has GNU Emacs 23.4.1). To reproduce, type:
emacs -q foo.sh

Then in the Emacs window:

foo='bar<<

This produces:

foo='bar<<EOF

PS fix was not in 23.4; will be in 24.1.

OK. In the mean time, adding the (nth 8 (syntax-ppss)) line to
sh-script.el in Debian solves the problem with strings.

Also, just in case it's not obvious, you can use C-q < to stop it being
expanded as a here-doc.
