--- Begin Message ---Package: ksh Version: 93u-1 Severity: important Traps set inside KSH functions and 'set -e' (exit on error) command are ignored when the function is used in a command substitution and the command substitution $( ) is contained in a || or && command, or is following an 'if'. This problem does not occur in pdksh. EXAMPLE: #!/bin/ksh function foo { set -e trap 'print "ERR trap of foo" > /dev/fd/2' ERR false #false, having exit status 1, should execute the trap and then terminate foo() print 'we should not be here' return 0 } print 'first try' s=$(foo) || print 'foo returned with a non-zero exit status' echo "($s)" print 'second try' s=$(foo) echo "($s)" OUTPUT (ksh): first try (we should not be here) second try ERR trap of foo () OUTPUT (pdksh): first try ERR trap of foo foo returned with a non-zero exit status () second try ERR trap of foo () -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers oneiric-updates APT policy: (500, 'oneiric-updates'), (500, 'oneiric-security'), (500, 'oneiric'), (100, 'oneiric-backports') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-13-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ksh depends on: ii libc6 2.13-20ubuntu5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ksh recommends no packages. ksh suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
