Subprocesses of async subshells don't inherit SIGINT after trap INT since bash-4.3-rc2:
h. Fixed a bug that caused SIGINT and SIGQUIT to not be trappable in asynchronous subshell commands.
Before:
$ bash -c '(trap INT; sleep infinity) & wait'
$ ps -eHo pid,ppid,pgid,tty,stat,ignored,args
PID PPID PGID TT STAT IGNORED COMMAND
...
38886 16721 38886 pts/1 S+ 0000000000000004 ./bash -c (trap INT; sleep infinity) & wait
38887 38886 38886 pts/1 S+ 0000000000000004 ./bash -c (trap INT; sleep infinity) & wait
38888 38887 38886 pts/1 S+ 0000000000000006 sleep infinity
sleep has SIGINT set to SIG_IGN. After SIGINT the subshell and sleep remain.
After:
$ bash -c '(trap INT; sleep infinity) & wait'
$ ps -eHo pid,ppid,pgid,tty,stat,ignored,args
PID PPID PGID TT STAT IGNORED COMMAND
...
38893 38818 38893 pts/5 S+ 0000000000000004 ./bash -c (trap INT; sleep infinity) & wait
38894 38893 38893 pts/5 S+ 0000000000000004 ./bash -c (trap INT; sleep infinity) & wait
38895 38894 38893 pts/5 S+ 0000000000000000 sleep infinity
sleep has SIGINT set to SIG_DFL. After SIGINT the subshell and sleep exit.
And one can set arbitrary traps in async subshells:
Before:
$ bash -c '(trap "echo \$\$: INT; trap INT; kill -2 \$\$" INT; sleep infinity) & wait'
$ ps -eHo pid,ppid,pgid,tty,stat,ignored,args
PID PPID PGID TT STAT IGNORED COMMAND
...
38900 16721 38900 pts/1 S+ 0000000000000004 ./bash -c (trap "echo \$\$: INT; trap INT; kill -2 \$\$"
38901 38900 38900 pts/1 S+ 0000000000000006 ./bash -c (trap "echo \$\$: INT; trap INT; kill -2 \$\
38902 38901 38900 pts/1 S+ 0000000000000006 sleep infinity
The subshell and sleep has SIGINT set to SIG_IGN. After SIGINT they remain.
After:
$ bash -c '(trap "echo \$\$: INT; trap INT; kill -2 \$\$" INT; sleep infinity) & wait'
$ ps -eHo pid,ppid,pgid,tty,stat,ignored,args
PID PPID PGID TT STAT IGNORED COMMAND
...
38907 38818 38907 pts/5 S+ 0000000000000004 ./bash -c (trap "echo \$\$: INT; trap INT; kill -2 \$\$"
38908 38907 38907 pts/5 S+ 0000000000000004 ./bash -c (trap "echo \$\$: INT; trap INT; kill -2 \$\
38909 38908 38907 pts/5 S+ 0000000000000000 sleep infinity
The subshell and sleep has SIGINT set to SIG_DFL. After SIGINT they exit. And the trap produces the output.
