To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs
on Plan 9 Port, the following Rc script fails silently, upon calling the `foo'
function in ``if (foo)''. i expected it to output `FAIL' instead. is that by
design, or is it some sort of a bug?
#!/usr/bin/env rc
flag e +
fn foo {
/bin/false
}
if (foo)
echo SUCCESS
if not
echo FAIL
for contrast, the following script outputs `FAIL' as expected -- the
difference being in calling the /bin/false directly in ``if(/bin/false)''
#!/usr/bin/env rc
flag e +
if (/bin/false)
echo SUCCESS
if not
echo FAIL
