It would be far better to use this as a stream than to jam them all into shell variables. That is very inefficient and won't be portable.

Passing a array to a function, a basic feature in modern language, seems to be only possible in KSH. Not in BASH. Depite all my efforts I couldn't come to a solution. See the following examples:

Good grief so this should be easy. Passing an array as an argument to a function. Here is the sample code:

function foo {
local p1=${1}
local p2=(${2})
local p3=${3}
echo p1 is $p1
echo p2 is $p2
echo p3 is $p3

ftjam(1) General Commands Manual ftjam(1)
NAME
Jam/MR -- Make(1) Redux
SYNOPSIS
ftjam [-a] [-g] [-n] [-q] [-v] [-d debug] [-f jambase] [-j jobs] [-o actionsfile] [-s var=value] [-t target] [target ...]
DESCRIPTION
Jam is a program construction tool, like make(1).
Jam recursively builds target files from source files, using dependency information and updating actions expressed in the Jambase file,
which is written in jam's own interpreted language. The default Jambase is compiled into jam and provides a boilerplate for common use,
relying on a user-provide file "Jamfile" to enumerate actual targets and sources.
OPTIONS
-a Build all targets anyway, even if they are up-to-date.
-d n Enable cummulative debugging levels from 1 to n. Interesting values are:
1
Show actions (the default)
2
Show "quiet" actions and display all action text
3
Show dependency analysis, and target/source timestamps/paths
4
Show shell arguments
5
Show rule invocations and variable expansions
6
Show directory/header file/archive scans
7
Show variable settings
8
Show variable fetches
9
Show variable manipulation, scanner tokens
-d +n Enable debugging level n.
-d 0 Turn off all debugging levels. Only errors are not suppressed.
-f jambase
Read jambase instead of using the built-in Jambase. Only one -f flag is permitted, but the jambase may explicitly include other
files.
-g Build targets with the newest sources first, rather than in the order of appearance in the Jambase/Jamfiles.
-j n Run up to n shell commands concurrently (UNIX and NT only). The default is 1.
-n Don't actually execute the updating actions, but do everything else. This changes the debug level default to -d2.
-o file Write the updating actions to the specified file instead of running them (or outputting them, as on the Mac).
-q Quit quickly (as if an interrupt was received) as soon as any target build fails.
-s var=value
Set the variable var to value, overriding both internal variables and variables imported from the environment.
-t target Rebuild target and everything that depends on it, even if it is up-to-date.
-v Print the version of ftjam and exit.
