Subject: [BUG] builtin echo doesn't check write error
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2021 16:09:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210609140940.GA813383@zira.vinc17.org> (raw)
With zsh 5.8, the builtin echo doesn't check write error.
zira% zsh -c 'echo foo >&-; echo $?'
0
In strace output:
close(1) = 0
write(1, "foo\n", 4) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
No issues with an external echo command:
zira% zsh -c '/bin/echo foo >&-; echo $?'
/bin/echo: write error: Bad file descriptor
1
And with other shells:
zira% sh -c 'echo foo >&-; echo $?'
sh: 1: echo: echo: I/O error
1
zira% bash -c 'echo foo >&-; echo $?'
bash: line 1: echo: write error: Bad file descriptor
1
zira% ksh -c 'echo foo >&-; echo $?'
1
zira% ksh93 -c 'echo foo >&-; echo $?'
1
zira% mksh -c 'echo foo >&-; echo $?'
1
zira% posh -c 'echo foo >&-; echo $?'
1
zira% yash -c 'echo foo >&-; echo $?'
echo: cannot print to the standard output: Bad file descriptor
