用于检查变量是否已声明/未设置的函数

包括空$array=（）

以下函数测试给定名称是否作为变量存在

# The first parameter needs to be the name of the variable to be checked.
# (See example below)

var_is_declared() {
    { [[ -n ${!1+anything} ]] || declare -p $1 &>/dev/null;}
}

var_is_unset() {
    { [[ -z ${!1+anything} ]] && ! declare -p $1 &>/dev/null;} 
}

通过首先测试变量是否已（未）设置，可以避免对声明的调用（如果不需要的话）。然而，如果$1包含空$array=（）的名称，则调用声明将确保获得正确的结果传递给/dev/null的数据不多，因为只有在变量未设置或为空数组时才会调用declare。

该功能将在以下条件下进行测试：

a、 #未声明a=；#已声明a=“foo”；#已声明a=（）；#已声明a=（“”）；#已声明取消设置a；#未声明a、 #未设置a=；#未设置a=“foo”；#未设置a=（）；#未设置a=（“”）；#未设置取消设置a；#未设置

.

有关详细信息一个测试脚本可以看到我对“如何检查bash中是否存在变量？”问题的回答。备注：declare-p的类似用法，正如Peregring lk的答案所示，确实是巧合。否则我当然会把它归功于你！

我的首选方式是：

$ var=10
$ if ! ${var+false};then echo "is set";else echo "NOT set";fi
is set
$ unset -v var
$ if ! ${var+false};then echo "is set";else echo "NOT set";fi
NOT set

因此，基本上，如果一个变量被设置，它就变成了“对结果false的否定”（true=“被设置”）。

并且，如果它未设置，它将变成“对结果true的否定”（因为空结果的求值结果为true）（因此将以false=“NOT set”结束）。

如果您希望测试变量是否绑定或未绑定，即使在启用了nounset选项后，这也能很好地工作：

set -o noun set

if printenv variableName >/dev/null; then
    # variable is bound to a value
else
    # variable is unbound
fi

在现代版本的Bash（我认为是4.2或更高版本；我不确定）上，我会这样做：

if [ ! -v SOMEVARIABLE ] #note the lack of a $ sigil
then
    echo "Variable is unset"
elif [ -z "$SOMEVARIABLE" ]
then
    echo "Variable is set to an empty string"
else
    echo "Variable is set to some string"
fi

当启用Bash选项集-u时，上面的答案不起作用。此外，它们不是动态的，例如，如何测试是否定义了名为“dummy”的变量？试试看：

is_var_defined()
{
    if [ $# -ne 1 ]
    then
        echo "Expected exactly one argument: variable name as string, e.g., 'my_var'"
        exit 1
    fi
    # Tricky.  Since Bash option 'set -u' may be enabled, we cannot directly test if a variable
    # is defined with this construct: [ ! -z "$var" ].  Instead, we must use default value
    # substitution with this construct: [ ! -z "${var:-}" ].  Normally, a default value follows the
    # operator ':-', but here we leave it blank for empty (null) string.  Finally, we need to
    # substitute the text from $1 as 'var'.  This is not allowed directly in Bash with this
    # construct: [ ! -z "${$1:-}" ].  We need to use indirection with eval operator.
    # Example: $1="var"
    # Expansion for eval operator: "[ ! -z \${$1:-} ]" -> "[ ! -z \${var:-} ]"
    # Code  execute: [ ! -z ${var:-} ]
    eval "[ ! -z \${$1:-} ]"
    return $?  # Pedantic.
}

我很惊讶没有人尝试编写一个shell脚本来以编程方式生成这个臭名昭著的难以摸索的表。既然我们在这里试图学习编码技术，为什么不用代码表达答案？：）这是我的看法（应该在任何POSIX shell中都适用）：

H="+-%s-+-%s----+-%s----+-%s--+\n"       # table divider printf format
R="| %-10s | %-10s | %-10s | %-10s |\n"  # table row printf format

S='V'     # S is a variable that is set-and-not-null
N=''      # N is a variable that is set-but-null (empty "")
unset U   # U is a variable that is unset

printf "$H" "----------" "-------" "-------" "---------";
printf "$R" "expression" "FOO='V'" "FOO='' " "unset FOO";
printf "$H" "----------" "-------" "-------" "---------";
printf "$R" "\${FOO:-x}" "${S:-x}" "${N:-x}" "${U:-x}  "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO-x} " "${S-x} " "${N-x} " "${U-x}   "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO:=x}" "${S:=x}" "${N:=x}" "${U:=x}  "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO=x} " "${S=x} " "${N=x} " "${U=x}   "; S='V';N='';unset U
#                                  "${N:?x}" "${U:?x}  "
printf "$R" "\${FOO:?x}" "${S:?x}" "<error>" "<error>  "; S='V';N='';unset U
#                                            "${U?x}   "
printf "$R" "\${FOO?x} " "${S?x} " "${N?x} " "<error>  "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO:+x}" "${S:+x}" "${N:+x}" "${U:+x}  "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO+x} " "${S+x} " "${N+x} " "${U+x}   "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$H" "----------" "-------" "-------" "---------";

以及运行脚本的输出：

+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| expression | FOO='V'    | FOO=''     | unset FOO  |
+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| ${FOO:-x}  | V          | x          | x          |
| ${FOO-x}   | V          |            | x          |
| ${FOO:=x}  | V          | x          | x          |
| ${FOO=x}   | V          |            | x          |
| ${FOO:?x}  | V          | <error>    | <error>    |
| ${FOO?x}   | V          |            | <error>    |
| ${FOO:+x}  | x          |            |            |
| ${FOO+x}   | x          | x          |            |
+------------+------------+------------+------------+

该脚本缺少了一些功能，比如在发生（或不发生）副作用分配时显示，但也许其他更有野心的人希望以此为出发点，并以此为出发。
