Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release
Description:
Bash manpage says that if "set -E" is set,
"any trap on ERR is inherited by shell functions, command
substitutions,
and commands executed in a subshell environment. The ERR trap is
normally not inherited in such cases."
But when running this script
trap 'echo ERR' ERR
set -E
echo "Fail in this shell"
false
( echo "Fail in subshell" ; false )
Only first 'false' is trapped, and the 'false' in subshell is not
trapped.
Repeat-By:
Repeat by running this shell-script.
trap 'echo ERR' ERR
set -E
echo "Fail in this shell"
false
( echo "Fail in subshell" ; false )
- Trap on ERR not inherited by subshell with "set -E",
