I have a function that returns true/false. during development, (and sometimes thereafter depending on the script, I run with -eu, to make sure the script stops as soon as there is a problem (well, to 'try' to make sure, many are caught.
But there are two instances that cause an error exit that seem pretty unuseful and I don't remember them breaking this way before. 1) ((expr)), if expr evals to '0', it returns false=failure, the script stops. I regularly use ((expr) to do calculations -- now none of them appear safe -- this never used to be a problem. 2) a function returning a false value -- Tried putting the ((expr)) in an if: if ((expr)); then return 0; else return 1; As soon as it sees the return 1, it exits, -- as I returned 'false' (error). I know I used to be able to do calculations and turn expressions with -e on, and not have to worry about the script existing just because I return false to a bool function! Are these more changes that went into recent versions or is there something else going on or did something get seriously broken?
