From: Roger Pack Date: 2009-06-24T00:58:13+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:23986] possible bug with windows `` they don't set $? Looks like a bug? [1.8 or 1.9] mingw: >> `bad` >> $? => # # this is wrong it did not exit 0 msvc: >> `bad` >> $? => nil So there appear to be two discrepancies here--msvc is *different* than mingw, and both don't seem to set $? right. Thoughts? -=r
