[Cocci] “coccicheck failed” during parallel program runs

How do you come to this conclusion?

I would agree ?

This is usually fine.

But I am more concerned about the safe handling for the program exit status.


Excerpt from scripts/coccicheck:
?
run_cmd_parmap() {
?
	$@ 2>$DEBUG_FILE
	if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
		echo "coccicheck failed"
		exit $?
	fi
}
?


Would you like to take another look at the returned exit code?

Will the message reformatting around the information "? with comm_assoc iso"
be really sufficient?

Thanks for another bit of fine-tuning in your software.
