#2451 Wrong command exit code

[Mr Mann]

Platform: GTK 3.24.43 on FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p5 GENERIC amd64
SciTE returns the wrong exit code for executed commands. Here is how to reproduce:

1. Open SciTE and create a shell script named "test.sh" with the following contents:
   test $1 = 5 && exit 1; sh $0 $(($1 + 1))
2. From the output window execute sh test.sh 1
3. Expected exit code is 1 but will get 0.
4. Edit the shell script to exit with code 2 and repeat step 2. Expected exit code is 2 but will get 1, that is, the previous expected exit code.
5. Edit the shell script to exit with code 3 and repeat step 2. Expected exit code is 3 but will get 2, that is, the previous expected exit code.

Note: Sometimes the depth count only needs to be 2 for the code to be wrong but 5 is what always fails for me so try adjusting the count upwards if you should get a correct exit code.

SciTE on GTK is reporting the status value it received in a callback attached to the process with g_child_watch_add after passing the status value through WEXITSTATUS. There may be some issue with how Unix handles this status value in some situations.

The code converting the status into text is in SciTEGTK::ContinueExecute in gtk/SciTEGTK.cxx so you could try debugging from that point.
