As you can see in the invocation "int && true" the flag is still set inside the function but magically disappears once the file is sourced, while in the second incocation "int" everything behaves as expected. Apparently something gets broken when the exit on error is temporarily disabled for the chained command "int && true" because while it gets properly restored within the function itself it disappears again when sourcing the other file. This problem was also reported upstream as https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?108191 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Invoke the scripts as described in the details section. Actual Results: errexit option gets dropped in sourced file. Expected Results: errexit option should not get dropped in sourced file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
