Does this { start a sub shell?

Sorry for the delay, sidetracked, was this determined to be in a subshell?

I'm finding the whole topic of determining if it is/isn't confusing and unclear.
$BASH_SUBSHELL seems to indicate it is not. It's not in parentheses and it's not a pipe, so I don't see any reason why it would be

Do subshells potentially raise a bunch of potential problems?- I'm just curious, tidbits and all.

edit: grammar

If it's a sub shell, then actions in the braces don't affect the current shell. Running and then unsetting deactivate won't actually do anything.

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Command-Grouping.html#Command-Grouping seems to indicate that {} does not create a new subshell.

Oh okay! I thought it may have been a compatibility issue, some niche situation or even just bad practice.

I've been daily driving this change, so I know it at least fundamentally works (at least in my env)

typeset -f deactivate | grep 'typeset env_postdeactivate_hook' >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
deactivate
unset -f deactivate >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
fi
}
