Subject: exit-ing in a trap handler uses the wrong exit code
Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 13:59:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100925115900.GA9732@bee.dooz.org> (raw)
Hi there
qemu's configure uses a trap handler which calls exit; configure would
call exit 1, but with the trap handler in place the configure script
would return with exit 0.
dash -c 'trap "sh -c \"exit 4\"; exit" 0 1 2 3 9 11 13 15;exit 3'; echo $?

Blue Swirl on the qemu-devel list points out that according to POSIX
this should be 3:

bash and zsh get this right:
bash -c 'trap "sh -c \"exit 4\"; exit" 0 1 2 3 9 11 13 15;exit 3'; echo $?

I've logged https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/647450
to track this as I'm seeing this with the Ubuntu version of dash.
Cheers,
