[bug-gawk] zerofile

[david ward]

I want to re-submit this bug because I made some silly mistakes when typing the emails previously
The following files produced this:~/gawk/awkscripts-> gawk  --source '{ print } ' nonempty
This the contents of nonempty text file
~/gawk/awkscripts->
~/gawk/awkscripts-> gawk -f zerofile.awk  -f zerofilef.awk  --source '{ print }'empty nonempty empty2
gawk: zerofilef.awk:2: function zerofile(ARGC[Argind, Argind )
gawk: zerofilef.awk:2:                       ^ syntax error
gawk: zerofilef.awk:2: error: function `zerofile': can't use special variable `ARGC' as a function parameter

This was produced by using the zerofile.awk in manual for 4.0.2
#zerofilef.awk
#!/usr/bin/gawk -f
function zerofile(ARGC[Argind, Argind )
{
   print ARGIND,Argind, ARGC[Argind]
 
}
This was produced by the following files:
