Bash parameter search and replace with multiple changes possible?

I read through this guide: https://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/pe … nd_replace

I'm wondering if I one can substitute multiple occurrences within the same expression.  For example, let's say I want to both substitute x86-64 with haswell and simultaneously replace -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, with a null.

CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection"

I can do each substitution but I do not know how to string them together:

echo ${CFLAGS/x86-64/haswell}
-march=haswell -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection
echo ${CFLAGS/-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2,/}
-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection

Re: Bash parameter search and replace with multiple changes possible?

I "cache" the substitution in the/a variable then then run a second substitution on that, ie.

FOO=bar; FOO=${FOO/b/f}; echo ${FOO/ar/oo}

And I mostly post to subscribe to the topic, cause curious myself ;-)
(But I honestly don't think that it's possible to somehow link substitutions in one expansion)

@seth - Yep, this is the approach I took, but wanted to see if someone with more knowledge or better search-Fu has an answer wink

Why modify, just append.  Appended flags will override earlier statements of the same option on the command line.  If you want -march=whatever:

echo $CFLAGS -march=whatever

Whatever other -march flags were already in CFLAGS before this are now irrelevant.

Re: Bash parameter search and replace with multiple changes possible?

Thanks, Trilby.  In one case I need to replace a switch with a null so still two steps.

CFLAGS+=" -march=haswell"
CFLAGS=${CFLAGS/-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2,/}

Re: Bash parameter search and replace with multiple changes possible?

You don't need to replace it with "null" do you, as there is a default (isn't 1 the default?).  So just overwrite it with the default.  But even if you really really do need it removed, you still don't need two steps:

gcc-or-whatever ${CFLAGS/-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2,//} -march=haswell
