[PATCH 2/3] Revert "Eliminated global exerrno."

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This reverts commit c0e07c010e5abdea1a7d1357edb1d08adac529cb.

Yes, it is nicer to pass the exit status through the exitstatus
global, but look at the consequences:

 $ sh -c 'exec nonexistent'; echo $?
 exec: 1: nonexistent: not found
 2
 $ sh -c 'exec .'; echo $?
 exec: 1: .: Permission denied
 2

According to POSIX:
"If command is not found, the exit status shall be 127. If command is
found, but it is not an executable utility, the exit status shall
be 126."

Make it so again.
