Subject: m4 exits 0 on error
X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs  Lucid
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sender: Richard Kettlewell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Package: m4
Version: 1.4-9
Severity: grave

m4 exits with status 0 even if an error occurs.

It should exit with a nonzero status, so that calling programs can
know that something went wrong.

    : muskogee; ls -l foo
    ls: foo: No such file or directory
    : muskogee; m4 foo
    m4: foo: No such file or directory
    : muskogee; echo $?
    0
    : muskogee; 

Solaris m4 does not have this bug.

I have marked this bug as grave, as returning `success' when the
program really failed can lead to data loss.
