Arm machine does not execute background statement correctly

Show key headers only | View raw

Hi all,

I am facing problem in bash 4.4 . In a function if first line is ‘If
condition‘ and the function is called in background then the bash does not
evaluate it properly

Following are the cross compiled machine details.

MACHINE="arm"
OS="linux-gnueabi"
CC="arm-cortex_a9_v004-linux-gnueabi-gcc"
CFLAGS=" -DPROGRAM='bash' -DCONF_HOSTTYPE='arm'
-DCONF_OSTYPE='linux-gnueabi'
-DCONF_MACHTYPE='arm-cortex_a9_v004-linux-gnuea
bi' -DCONF_VENDOR='cortex_a9_v004' -DLOCALEDIR='/usr/local/share/locale'
-DPACKAGE='bash' -DSHELL -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I.  -I.
-I./include -I./lib   -O2 -Wno-parentheses -Wno-format-security"
RELEASE="4.4"
PATCHLEVEL="19"
RELSTATUS="release"
MACHTYPE="arm-cortex_a9_v004-linux-gnueabi"

file bash
=========
bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked

The following snippet is working fine in x86 processor machine not working
in arm processor machine from bash 4.3 version onwards.

test.sh
=====
#!/bin/bash
rm out.txt
function abc() {
  if [ 2 -eq 1 ]; then
    echo "TRUE"
  else
    echo "FALSE"
  fi
}
abc &

bash -x test.sh
===========
+ rm -f out.txt
+ abc
+ '[' 2 -eq 1 ']'
+ echo TRUE  <---- Here we are expecting FALSE
TRUE

please provide some guidance on how to resolve the problem, let me know if
problem statement is not clear.
