Synopsis
--------
The backtick bug in bash (i.e., bash forgets to strip
\r when evaluating a shell command within `...`)
has already been reported.
We give here a small shell-script named "backtick"
that illustrates this bug, exhibiting an incompatibility
between /bin/sh.exe and /bin/bash.exe.
Typing
/bin/sh backtick
produces
0
Typing
/bin/bash backtick
produces
1
Shell-script "backtick"
-----------------------
# create a program that prints "Hello" and compile it
# with -mno-cygwin to obtain a "standard" Win32 application
cat > bashtest.c << EOF
main ()
{
printf ("Hello\n");
exit (0);
}
EOF
gcc -mno-cygwin bashtest.c -o bashtest.exe
/bin/test "`./bashtest`" = "Hello"
echo $?
