Bash Version: 3.2 Patch Level: 39 Release Status: release Description: Using set -e with subshell gives unexpected results Repeat-By: Hello, First issue : # The following works fine : end is displayed ( set -e ; echo Start ; false ; echo end ) # The following works in a different way : end is not displayed ( set -e ; echo Start ; false ; echo end ) || echo ERROR # note that Bash 4 has the same behavior # (GNU bash, version 4.0.28(1)-release) Is it a bug or the expected behavior, if it is a bug, is there a workaround ? Second issue : # I expect the following to not display status but to exit the shell : set -e ; ( exit 1 ) ; echo status $? # I observed the expected behavior on Bash 4. Is there a way for Bash 3 to have the same behavior as Bash 4 ? Thanks in advance. Best regards Mario
