Subject: [9fans] rc exec error behaviour
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2016 17:31:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b1fd655ff9a9d0d298d145d845b234f9@felloff.net> (raw)
in the rc shell, when one has exec statement and the exec fails, rc tries to
continue interpreting statements after the exec which fails with a strange
EOF error because in the process of preparing filedescriptors for exec,
the very fd thats used to read the script was closed.
burnzez provided an example of this like:
term% rc -c 'exec doesnotexist; echo test'
doesnotexist: './doesnotexist' directory entry not found
test
rc: /rc/lib/rcmain:29: token EOF: syntax error
the manpage does not explicitely specify what should happen when exec fails.
i did try to have rc open the . script as OCEXEC and that fixed the
problem, but it wont work for any other redirections and will have side effects
as the close-on-exec flag is a propery of the channel and not of the file
descriptor slot. so imagine stuff like . /fd/0...
i think it would me most resonable to just have rc exit with error status on
failure. are there any objections to this?
