Works just fine for me, unless I misunderstood something.
$ /cygdrive/c/Users/Csaba/Downloads/test.sh
+ cat
+ g++ test.cc
+ [[ -x a.exe ]]
+ ./a.exe
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): Test error
/cygdrive/c/Users/Csaba/Downloads/test.sh: line 21: 641 Aborted
(core dumped) ./a.exe
+ rc=134
+ (( rc == 0 ))
+ echo 'Expected non-zero return code received: 134'
Expected non-zero return code received: 134
+ exit 0
The if goes in the "else" case because rc is not 0, as it should be.
(shoudn't the condition be $rc == 0 ?)
