What you expected to happen:
This code:
((i++)); echo $?
returns 0 for every value of variable 'i' excepts for i=0. In this case the
operation returns 1 !!!
for example, this script:
#!/bin/bash
set -e
i=1; while :; do ((i++)); echo $i ; sleep 1 ; done
works as expected, but this one:
#!/bin/bash
set -e
i=0; while :; do ((i++)); echo $i ; sleep 1 ; done
exits with error an outputs nothing
** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
