Oh, I stand corrected then. And it looks like dash is the same (so it's
not specific to bash either):
-e errexit If not interactive, exit immediately if any untested command
fails. The
exit status of a command is considered to be explicitly tested
if the
command is used to control an if, elif, while, or until; or if
the com‐
mand is the left hand operand of an “&&” or “||” operator.
I have been mislead by the usage of such construct in debian/rules where the
non-null exit code matters (and where "[ -e Makefile ] && $(MAKE) clean"
is a real bug).
Cheers,
