---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003768) joerg (reporter) - 2017-06-16 09:38 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1150#c3768 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The standard is obvious here: If return or exit are called without parameter, the return/exit status is the status of the last command executed. Given that with "return $(exit 1)", the last command executed was "exit 1", it seems to be obvious that the expected return value is 1. This is important as we like to have an orthogonal behavior and: sh -c 'FOO=$(exit 99); echo $?' is expected to print 99 while sh -c 'FOO=$(exit 99) :; echo $?' is expected to print 0 Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2017-06-16 01:33 kre New Issue 2017-06-16 01:33 kre Name => Robert Elz 2017-06-16 01:33 kre Section => 2.6.3 2017-06-16 01:33 kre Page Number => 2357 - 2358 2017-06-16 01:33 kre Line Number => 75182 - 75224 2017-06-16 01:46 kre Note Added: 0003766 2017-06-16 06:10 stephane Note Added: 0003767 2017-06-16 09:38 joerg Note Added: 0003768 ======================================================================
