Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
According to the manual:
BASH_COMMAND
The command currently being executed or about to be executed,
unless the shell is executing a command as the result of a trap,
in which case it is the command executing at the time of the
trap.
But:
mariner:~> bash -c 'trap '\''echo "BC $BASH_COMMAND"'\'' ERR; false foo'
BC echo "BC $BASH_COMMAND"
mariner:~> echo $?
1
mariner:~>
I think the correct output is:
BC false foo
This would be much more helpful and in accordance with the intent,
which appears to be that the trap handler can find out what was going
on by looking at BASH_COMMAND.
This seems to have been reported previously to gnu.bash.bug but
without response from upstream:

Ian.
