问题
I would expect the second line to say foo instead of command not found:
$ alias foo="echo bac" ; foo;
-bash: foo: command not found
$ foo
bac
$
Why won't the second line say foo? Tested with the following shells, same behavior:
- bash 3.2.5
- zsh 5.0.8
- dash 0.5.9
- busybox 1.25.0

The behaviour you're seeing is described in the Bash Reference Manual (emphasis mine):
The rules concerning the definition and use of aliases are somewhat confusing. Bash always reads at least one complete line of input before executing any of the commands on that line. Aliases are expanded when a command is read, not when it is executed. Therefore, an alias definition appearing on the same line as another command does not take effect until the next line of input is read. The commands following the alias definition on that line are not affected by the new alias.
Presumably the other shells also behave in this way.
