Re: Suggestion for "errexit" equivalent for $(shell ...)

Hi,

> I see that you've researched this thoroughly and aren't asking for suggestions other than an answer to your .SHELL_ERREXIT question but I still thought I'd offer the macro I wrote to solve this. It's not as easy as a flag but at least it's a line-for-line replacement.

This is fascinating -- yesterday i actually spent a few hours trying to write a macro that does exactly that, but between returning values and whitespace issues i didn't manage.  Your macro is what i was trying to achieve, so might well be the first acceptable stopgap measure i've encountered.

Thanks for sharing that snippet, i'll give it a go.  I'd still be interested in the possibility of adding a flag or option though :).

Cheers,
