Hi,
while making the Kakoune editor work on OpenBSD, I encountered some
strange behaviour [1]. This little script doesn't work with the OpenBSD
sh, but works at least with dash, bash and zsh:
mkfifo 'testfifo'
cat "$(
( printf 'foo\n' > testfifo 2>&1 ) > /dev/null 2>&1 &
printf 'testfifo'
)"
I can make it work for all the mentioned shells like this:
mkfifo 'testfifo'
cat "$(
( ( printf 'foo\n' > testfifo 2>&1 ) & ) > /dev/null 2>&1
printf 'testfifo'
)"
Can someone explain or justify the behaviour of the OpenBSD sh, or do
you think this is a bug?
Cheers,
Richard Ulmer
