Machine Type: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0
Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 19
Release Status: release
Description:
A non-initial unquoted tilde is expanded outside of an assignment. This
was raised as a question on Stack Overflow,
https://stackoverflow.com/q/51713759/1126841.
Repeat-By:
$ set +k
$ echo home_dir=~
home_dir=/Users/chepner
A similar string that does not start with a valid identifier leaves the tilde
unexpanded.
$ echo --home_dir=~
--home_dir=~
The behavior is also present in commit
057a9fbdb4d9ad01b000743fcea9918b80823afc, bash-20180803 snapshot.
