When "set -e" is enabled traps are not always executed, in particular the EXIT trap is not executed when the shell exits on an unhandled error. Consider the following test script: #!/bin/dash set -e trap 'ret=$?; echo "EXIT: $ret"' EXIT trap 'exit 2' HUP INT QUIT PIPE TERM read variable By pressing Ctrl-C one would expect the EXIT trap to be called, as it is the case with other shells (bash, zsh), but dash does not do it. By calling dotrap() before jumping to the exit path when checkexit is not zero, dash behaves like other shells. Signed-off-by: Antonio Ospite <ao2@ao2.it> --- Hi, this has been reported in Debian[1] and I noticed the issue myself too, so I tried to take a look at it. I am marking the patch as RFC because I don't know the dash codebase very well, and I might not be aware of possible drawbacks of this change. It worked in my limited testing but that's it. I don't know if the behavior of traps is specified when "set -e" is active, but in case it isn't it would stll be good to behave like other shells. Any comment is welcome.
