Machine Type: i386-redhat-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 7
Release Status: release
Description:
When a variable is declared local and the assigned value is
gathered from
a command enclosed in backticks, it is not possible to retrieve the return value
of the function within the backticks. Is this expected behavior?
Repeat-By:
The following code snippet describes the issue at hand:
TICKED=`false`
echo RV: $?
# prints "RV: 1"
foo()
{
local TICKED=`false`
echo RV: $?
}
foo
# prints "RV: 0", but I would expect "RV: 1"
