#!/usr/bin/env bash

declare -r r r=2 || exit 2 echo 'still there with $?='$?', after: r=2 || exit 2' if ! r='hello'; then exit; fi echo "still there with \$?=$?, after: if ! r='hello'; then exit; fi" typeset -p r

Output:

still there with $?=1, after: r=2 || exit 2
still there with $?=1, after: if ! r='hello'; then exit; fi
declare -r r
