a bit more with POSIX and the other shells
I considered http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=253 but the use
of bi_errorf() is interesting, especially as it’s often enough a
noreturn function, and funnily enough, 'cd -P /foo' returns 0 while
'chdir -P /foo' fails (so idk where to put -e)…
① currently: ((cond) ? true : false) but (!!(cond)) and casting to bool,
the latter only if stdbool.h, would also work – which performs best on
(and across) all supported systems?
• in interactive mode, always look up {LC_{ALL,CTYPE},LANG} environment
variables if setlocale/nl_langinfo(CODESET) doesn’t suffice
• add the ability to call any builtin (some don't make sense or wouldn't
work) directly by analysing argv[0]
• for direct builtin calls, the {LC_{ALL,CTYPE},LANG} environment
variables determine utf8-mode, even if MKSH_ASSUME_UTF8 was set
• when called as builtin, echo behaves POSIXish
• add domainname as alias for true on MirBSD only, to be able to link it
• sync mksh Makefiles with Build.sh output
• adjust manpage wrt release plans
• link some things to mksh now that we have callable builtins:
bin/echo bin/kill bin/pwd bin/sleep (exact matches)
bin/test bin/[ (were scripts before)
bin/domainname=usr/bin/true usr/bin/false (move to /bin/ now)
• drop linked utilities and, except for echo and kill, their manpages
• adjust instbin and link a few more there as well
– possible integer overflows in memory allocation, mostly
‣ multiplication: all are checked now
‣ addition: reviewed them, most were “proven” or guessed to be
“almost” impossible to run over (e.g. when we have a string
whose length is taken it is assumed that the length will be
more than only a few bytes below SIZE_MAX, since code and
stack have to fit); some are checked now (e.g. when one of
the summands is an off_t); most of the unchecked ones are
annotated now
⇒ cost (MirBSD/i386 static): +76 .text
⇒ cost (Debian sid/i386): +779 .text -4 .data
– on Linux targets, setuid() setresuid() setresgid() can fail
with EAGAIN; check for that and, if so, warn once and retry
infinitely (other targets to be added later once we know that
they are “insane”)
⇒ cost (Debian sid/i386): +192 .text (includes .rodata)
• setmode.c: Do overflow checking for realloc() too; switch back
from calloc() to a checked malloc() for simplification while there
• define -DIN_MKSH and let setmode.c look a tad nicer while here
we don’t get SIGWINCH when the window size changes during the runtime of
that, so, the signal is only usable reliably during editing in the shell
and we re-check the window size before each interactive edit line again
• deactivate %a and %A since our libc doesn’t have it
• rewrite the mksh integration code to use shf instead of stdio, removing
floating point support always in the process, as shf doesn’t support it
⇒ saves 11114 (6706 text, 168 data, 4240 bss) with dietlibc on Debian
• fix -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wstrict-aliasing=2 for gcc (Debian 4.4.4-7)
• fix these and -Wc++-compat for gcc version 4.6.0 20100711 (experimental)
[trunk revision 162057] (Debian 20100711-1) except:
– a few enum warnings that relate to eglibc’s {g,s}etrlimit() functions
taking an enum instead of an int because they’re too stupid to adhere
to POSIX interfaces they design by themselves
– all “request for implicit conversion” involving a "void *" on one side
• tweak the manual page somewhat more
of foo[0] (but not its attributes), and the rest of the array, so that
later “set +A foo bar” will set foo[0]=bar but retain the attributes.
This is important, because, in the future, arrays will have different
attributes per element, instead of all the same (which, actually, is
not entirely true right now either, since “unset foo[0]” will not mo-
dify the attributes of a foo[1] existing at that point in time), where
foo[$newkey] will inherit from foo[0], but typeset foo will only affect
foo[0] no longer foo[*] in the future. (The rules about typeset=local
will still apply, as they affect creation of variables in a scope.)
which, in its latest sid incarnation, even received mksh's ability
to produce ${!foo[*]} array keys, wow!)
* plug a memory leak while here (ATEMP only, but still)
I read, IIRC in the Cederqvist, that 'cvs tag' sets a sticky tag onto
the cwd… it doesn’t, apparently. (I actually like it better this way,
but one needs to know!)
• use a combination of the one-at-a-time hash and an LCG for handling
the $RANDOM special if !HAVE_ARC4RANDOM instead of rand(3)/srand(3)
and get rid of time(3) usage to reduce import footprint
• raise entropy state (mostly in the !HAVE_ARC4RANDOM case though…)
• simplify handling of the $RANDOM_SPECIAL generally
• tweak hash() to save a temp var for non-optimising compilers
• some int → mksh_ari_t and other type fixes
• general tweaking of code and comments
call it only if $RANDOM is indeed set (although pool extension would be a
possibility we do have arc4random_atexit which does it nicely too)
• avoid calling setspec for int→str conversion just before execve()
to it are now either arc4random or rand/srand, but srand retains the old
state; set +o arc4random is no longer possible, but if it's there we use
arc4random(3), if not, we use rand(3) for $RANDOM reads; optimise special
variable handling too and fix a few consts and other minor things
some GNU bash extensions (suggested by cnuke@) and bind macros
* make the random cache more efficient (and the code potentially
smaller, although we have a new implementation of the oaat hash
function, alongside the old one, now) and pushb only if needed
(i.e. state has changed or user has set $RANDOM, but not onfork)
rate-limit calls to CryptGenRandom to every 2‥4 minutes, if the last
call was successful, and operate with hash() on rnd_cache[], so that
it is mixed in a better way
it with the array index; var.c says that
│ 1244 /* The table entry is always [0] */
so that we can have a special flag and a union which stores hval for
the table index, the array index otherwise (coïncidentally *hint hint*
they have the same size)
return information needed to do a real ktremove instead of the pseudo
ktdelete operation which merely unsets the DEFINED flag to mark it as
eligible for texpand garbage collection (even worse, !DEFINED entries
are still counted)
much better avalanche and no known funnels
• improve comments
• fix some types (uint32_t for hash, size_t for sizes)
• optimise ktsort()
no functional change, I think
fix the regression test’s results while here, which have been
broken since cid 10049D9BE5254CE65B8
• get rid of separate copyright file which was intended for De-
bian; track down commits in all files of oksh-mirbsd and mksh
to get correct copyright years per-file, as is BSD custom
on Debian Lenny/amd64 (XXX need more verification; this
can be used for 64 bit arithmetics later too)
PPID, PGRP, RANDOM, USER_ID are now unsigned by default
was hard to type and hard to fix, galloc is also hard to fix, and some
things I learned will probably improve things more but make me use the
original form as base (especially for space savings)
* let sizeofN die though, remove even more casts
* optimise, polish
* regen Makefiles
* sprinkle a few /* CONSTCOND */ while here
• others: fix 6 (!) cases of non-constant or side-effect arguments
to the str_save() or str_nsave() macros, and other abuse of them
• also fix some cosmetics and other un-nice code while here
‣ macro afreechk() is superfluous
• get rid of macro afreechv() by re-doing the “don’t leak that much” code
• some KNF (mostly, whitespace and 80c) while here
• more int → bool
• more regression tests: check if the utf8-hack flag is really disabled
at non-interactive startup, enabled at interactive startup, if the
current locale is a UTF-8 one
• make the mksh-local multibyte handling functions globally accessible,
change their names, syntax and semantics a little (XXX more work needed)
• optimise
• utf_wctomb: src → dst, as we’re writing to that char array (pasto?)
• edit.c:x_e_getmbc(): if the second byte of a 2- or 3-byte multibyte
sequence is invalid utf-8, ungetc it (not possible for the 3rd byte yet)
• edit.c:x_zotc3(): easier (and faster) handling of UTF-8
• implement, document and test for base-1 numbers: they just get the
ASCII (8-bit) or Unicode (UTF-8) value of the octet(s) after the ‘1#’,
or do the same as print \x## or \u#### (depending on the utf8-hack flag),
plus support the PUA assignment of EF80‥EFFF for the MirBSD encoding “hack”
(print doesn’t, as it has \x## and \u#### to distinguish, but we cannot use
base-0 numbers which I had planned to use for raw octets first, as they are
used internally): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.miros.general/7938
• as an application example, add a hexdumper to the regression tests ☺
from netbsd via oksh
we had the NULL pointer deref already fixed
• avoid a bogus not-setting the return value of edit.c:x_file_glob()
introduced by the above change in oksh
• escape ? as well (but not ] because that’s wrong)
reminded by cbiere@netbsd via oksh
• Unsetting a non-existent variable is not an error. See
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/unset.html
report from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz; fixed based on
http://cvs.pld-linux.org diff via oksh but modified slightly
• Be more smart waiting for input for non-interactive scripts. Fix
based on a diff from debian: see their bug#296446 (via oksh)
modified slightly
this also fixes cnuke@’s “mksh busy loop” problem, for which I never
received a bug report, but the Debian bug page contains a set of two
scripts to reproduce this before (and no longer after) this commit
• some KNF
• bump version
Analysis:
internal_errorf(int, fmt, ...) was only a __dead function if the int argument
was non-0, which the Prevent probably was unable to follow. Change all uses of
internal_errorf(0, fmt, ...) to internal_warningf(fmt, ...); change the pro-
totype of internal_errorf() to internal_errorf(fmt, ...) and all remaining
uses remove the non-0 int argument; add __dead to internal_errorf() proto;
flesh out guts of internal_errorf() and internal_warningf() into a new local
function for optimisation purposes.
Some whitespace cleanup and dead code removal (return after internal_errorf(1))
and have it return an API-correct const char *
• enhance and stylify comments
• a little KNF and simplifications
• #ifdef DEBUG: replace strchr and strstr with ucstrchr and ucstrstr
that take and return a non-const char *, and fix the violations
• new cstrchr, cstrstr (take and give const char *)
• new vstrchr, vstrstr (take const or not, give boolean value)
• new afreechk(x) = afreechv(x,x) = if (x1) afree(x2, ATEMP)
• new ksh_isdash(str) = (str != NULL) && !strcmp(str, "-")
• replace the only use of strrchr with inlined code to shrink
• minor man page fixes
• Minix 3 signames are autogenerated with gcc
• rename strlfun.c to strlcpy.c since we don't do strlcat(3) anyway,
only strlcpy(3), and shorten it
• dot.mkshrc: move MKSH=… down to the export line
to not disturb the PS1 visual impression ☺
• dot.mkshrc: Lstripcom(): optimise
• bump version
¹) side effect from creating API-correct cstrchr, cstrstr, etc.
uses goto so it must be better ☻
tested on mirbsd-current via both Makefile and Build.sh
twkm (from #ksh on freenode), that $RANDOM is always an unsigned
15-bit decimal integer.
(RANDOM << 15 | RANDOM) thusly yields 30 bit, which is still more
than 36^5, so we can use it on the baselife CD to speed things up
main.c: In function 'main':
main.c:208: warning: cast discards qualifiers from pointer target type
main.c:329: warning: cast discards qualifiers from pointer target type
no warnings at autoconf time left either; will take care of these two later
(might revisit changes from this commit), maybe change declararion for the
builtins to have their argv[] be const strings, and go through strict type
and qualifier checking again. this'll further improve stability.
XXX these changes might have introduced (more?) memory leaks,
XXX someone who knows about these tools should verify with
XXX automatic memory usage analysers (valgrind?)
still passes testsuite
XXX one of these uses a gcc extension, ok for now tho
* don't include <ctype.h> any more at all
* don't try nl_langinfo in small mode, just check locale
saves 171 .text, 4 .data, 256 .bss, 1 import
* edit.c: remove debug stuff again; next time better use shl.c functions ;)
* sh.h: add format attributes to a few shf functions
* histrap.c, var.c: fix format string mistakes
* main.c, sh.h: error_prefix and warningf take bool not int
* misc.c: make chvt() stuff use shf_* functions
* misc.c: rewrite the TIOCSTTY stuff to be better integrated in mksh,
since it originally was an external patch
* misc.c: chvt() no longer fails if e.g. chown fails due to e.g. R/O / fs
* var.c: fix typeset padding for right-justified zero-filled
the diff nor the commit message, but they're probably knowing what
they're doing
on an unrelated side note, mksh-beta.cpio.gz didn't get tested by
many people... so mksh R27 will be released without much more...
Set the index of item[0], since it might not have been set before
(A=0; A[1]=1) and do not use a static buffer in str_val, since the
results might be used in a loop. Report from jared r r spiegel; help
from Matthias Kilian; ok beck@
but sync RCS IDs for easier future adaption:
* Simplify savefd() by removing the "noclose" flag and make noclose
behavior the default. Almost all uses of savefd() are followed
by an implicit or explicit close.
* fix typos
* might as well make ksh_getopt() match real getopt(), ie. get rid of that
stupid EOF concept that was never true. adobriyan@gmail
* use SEEK_* for lseek()
* fix lint comments, no functional changes
* remove excessive optimization; from adobriyan@gmail
* only santa checks things twice; from adobriyan@gmail
* Interpret zero-filled numbers as decimal; PR 4213; from Alexey Dobriyan
sitory whose ChangeLog follows. mksh R21 is licenced under the MirOS li-
cence, shown in "sh.h", and a two-clause UCB-style licence by Marc Espie
as shown in "alloc.c".
This executable is a fair bit smaller and shorter than our /bin/ksh that
it is designed to eventually replace (as /bin/sh hardlink), with the old
/bin/ksh to completely vanish. It is still in beta testing though, and I
don't think it will compile on other operating systems.
mksh R21 is a completely new port, bringing together the OpenBSD-current
/bin/ksh, the MirOS-current /bin/ksh and the older mksh R20 (which still
was portable, ocvs-based).
- expat as discussed with bsiegert@ today on the phone
- ksh as announced earlier on the lists
* un-hook lib/libexpat from make includes
* remove /usr/include/{,open}ssl upgrade workaround from includes/Makefile
* nuke old bin/ksh
* nuke libexpat and xmlwf
* retain local changes to ls and md5 (md4, hint hint)
* fix up ksh (limits - we still have 4096 bytes input buffer;
random usage)
* fix manpages (mdX, ksh)
as of CTM delta 3496 (roughly 1200 UTC today) into the
vendor branch.
Attention: this is a big update. Don't even try to
build this system, OpenBSD 3.4-beta, yet on your own.
