From: Johannes Sixt Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 18:57:46 +0000 (+0200) Subject: MinGW: truncate exit()'s argument to lowest 8 bits X-Git-Tag: v1.6.4-rc0~5^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/47e3de0e?hp=606475f3178784e5a6b3a01dce1a54314345cf43 MinGW: truncate exit()'s argument to lowest 8 bits For some reason, MinGW's bash cannot reliably detect failure of the child process if a negative value is passed to exit(). This fixes it by truncating the exit code in all calls of exit(). This issue was worked around in run_builtin() of git.c (2488df84 builtin run_command: do not exit with -1, 2007-11-15). This workaround is no longer necessary and is reverted.
