bash 4.0-7 still has the same behavior. It seems to be documented, but the documentation is not clear: Subshells spawned to execute command substitutions inherit the value of the -e option from the parent shell. When not in posix mode, Bash clears the -e option in such subshells. If bash clears the -e option, I wonder whether one can say that it is inherited. Also I don't see why bash would clear the -e option in such subshells, as this doesn't seem to be an improvement and AFAIK, no other shells do this. Introducing such an incompatibility is a bad idea IMHO. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
