Hi,
we found quite some inconsistency and weirdness in the handling of SIGINT's
during async function calls and were wondering, whether those are expected. All
calls were executed from a script with jobcontrol turned off (set +m) while
pressing Ctrl+C shortly afterwards. In summary:
The main INT handler is never executed in foofunc (is that expected?) while the new (default) handler
either aborts command execution in case of 'foofunc &' or continues execution in case of '{ foofunc;
} &'. While on 'foofunc &' 'trap -p' at the beginning of foofunc (wrongly) prints the main
handler, in case of '{ foofunc; } &' it suddenly prints the ignore handler "trap -- ''
SIGINT" and remains indeed uninterruptible. Thus printing the trap apparently changes bash's
behavior.
Tested bash versions:
GNU bash, Version 5.1.4(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
GNU bash, Version 5.2.2(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
on Debian Bullseye.
Thanks and kind regards
Tycho

^CINT main
$ foo
# Here, when the trap is printed, INT is reported as "ignored" and foofunc
# becomes indeed uninterruptible. So, 'trap -p' changes bash's behavior.
