I have code that must run on AIX (bash/ksh93), Linux (bash/ksh93), and

What's missing in pdksh?
subscript references, for one (ie ${OS:0:6}), which is fairly common in the
scripts (though, most all could be replaced with ${OS%...} or ${OS#...} )
Also, I could find no way to have pdksh propagate the errors all the way up the
call chain.
The scripts have sourced common routines, and may also be called from other
scripts (so I have a combination of local, shared functions in the same process,
and subprocesses used to invoke a subshell/script).
An example of the structuring might be helpful; I have separate scripts that
build each component of our product (compiler, runtime, sort, ICU, etc...).
The scripts may be run stand-alone, or from a higher level 'build-it-all'
script.
Then, there are several common subroutine script files that are source in each
and every build/test script to handle things like cron job scheduling, command
line parsing, etc.
if [ -n "$BASH" -a "${OS:0:6}" != 'CYGWIN' ]; then
This won't work -- OS is a variable set by Windows. On my WinXP, I get
OS=Windows_NT, so ${OS:0:6} is 'Window'.
Eh? in Cygwin? Works just fine here, $OS is not marked readonly - tho the
subscript fails on pdksh :(
You want something like "$(uname -s | cut -c 1-6)" instead, or use
"$(uname -o)".
uname -o doesn't carry across non-GNU toolchains (AIX) :( but this was just an
example usage
UNWIND="trap 'false' RETURN;return 1";
I'm not sure this does what you expect it to. It seems like this sets the
RETURN trap *in the child*, which is executed, again in the child, as soon
as you return.
It is documented that the RETURN trap executes in the context of the parent,
after the completion of the child (though, in the case of sourced, or in file
functions, there should be no parent/child process)
And what is the output you expect from the above script? That every error
handler up the call chain is triggered?
Exactly...
