When I send SIGINT to "run_tests.sh -j8", I see process hang dead. Not
sure whether you see the same thing:
#0 0x00007f7af2e1559a in waitpid () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1 0x00005613edf8953e in waitchld.isra ()
#2 0x00005613edf8aae5 in wait_for ()
#3 0x00005613edf8b682 in wait_for_any_job ()
#4 0x00005613edfc7e64 in wait_builtin ()
#5 0x00005613edf616ea in execute_builtin.isra ()
#6 0x00005613edf623ee in execute_simple_command ()
#7 0x00005613edf79e77 in execute_command_internal ()
#8 0x00005613edf7b972 in execute_command ()
#9 0x00005613edf62aca in execute_while_or_until ()
#10 0x00005613edf7a156 in execute_command_internal ()
#11 0x00005613edf79d88 in execute_command_internal ()
...
If I change the "wait -n" into "wait" (this will work, but of course
slower since we'll wait for all subprocesses end before we start
another one), problem disappears. Not sure whether that means a "wait
-n" bug.
Anyway, IMHO squashing you suggestion of "trap exit SIGINT" at the
entry of for_each_unittest() is an acceptable solution - it works in
all cases.
