“-sh” if -DMKSH_BINSHREDUCED was passed during compilation, for example
for Debian, but d̲e̲f̲i̲n̲i̲t̲i̲v̲e̲l̲y̲ n̲̲o̲̲t̲̲ for MirBSD™
• split up regression test to force this behaviour
• remove the gunk from our MirBSD™ startup scripts again
• mention arc4random.c changes on website, sync clog, warn packagers
abortion (^G – ^C is SIGINT and doesn’t work like this, but
that’s actually good IMO)
prompted by enquiry about the Emacs editing mode by <smultron:#MidnightBSD>
and .data instead of another initialisation; this was prompted by a bug
in scan-build (the value can never be NULL, but it doesn’t realise it),
although this doesn’t fix it, but less stack usage is always good
fool the compiler into not doing static bounds checking when we do
one-past-the-array-boundary pointer assignments for cases where the
only accesses are like (*--pointer); bump version
in a somewhat hackish way, and it’s still quite different from zsh,
but probably closer to a desired functionality
XXX this makes state by abusing 「modified」 and 「xmp」 (“the mark”).
‣ only if !MKSH_SMALL
‣ add appropriate regression test
• if FPOSIX is set, do not close fds > 2 on exec, Debian #499139
• add appropriate regression tests for keeping fds private or not
• fix vi mode (which, however, is officially orphaned) multi-line $PS1 by
using a similar algorithm for prompt skipping as emacs mode (changing
the meaning of prompt_trunc variable and using prompt_redraw, just even
more efficiently than vi mode); reported by asarch via IRC
• fix multi-line prompts if last line is “too large” by using emacs mode
algorithm of just internally appending a newline, while here ☺ this even
saves us having to re-add the prompt_skip variable…
WARNING: this is only barely tested, as almost nobody ever uses vi mode
⇒ test yourself, there may be bugs (e.g. off-by-ones); already known is
that the vi input line editing mode is NOT multibyte safe…
missing for a while yet its disappearance was unnoticed because…
• distrib/special/mksh/Makefile: sync check categories, this was missed
• mksh.hts: sync clog
the latter is required by HP-sUX, okay, and apparently the
preferred one by glibc (GNU libdrepper?), but breaks on al-
most all other systems I have access to (Slowlaris, Midnight
DragonFly NetBSD, Darwin, at least)
since mksh(1) did go into an infinite loop if that fails first
bug spotted, initial patch and help drafting a test case
From: Decklin Foster <decklin@red-bean.com>
note there are more instances of unlink(2) and others (like chmod(2), as
spotted by flawfinder) which aren’t checked… but at least the other case
of unlink(2) use in histrap.c doesn’t cause any trouble (I think)
and make it fit into mksh’s model (also gives us a couple of things
GNU bash doesn’t have
• add regression tests for all of these
Lukas “smultron” Upton from MidnightBSD spotted a script with /bin/sh
shebang invalidly using “&>” in some Apple backup toolkit, 10x
XXX why fds are limited to one digit?
* initialise the integers PPID, OPTIND, RANDOM, SECONDS, and TMOUT to base-10
* bring back PGRP as base-10 integer to the process group via getpgrp(2)
* initialise USER_ID as base-10 integer to the effective user id as retrieved
from geteuid(2) = $(id -u)
* use $USER_ID in dot.mkshrc instead of spawning an id(1) process
-> dot.mkshrc,v 1.34 now requires mksh R34
* convert more int to bool where appropriate
* remove dead code - getpgrp(2) cannot fail
* sync manual page to reality
* bump to mksh R34(beta) - feature freeze
XXX check if our_pgrp in jobs.c is still really needed, the setpgid call
XXX probably just makes us our own pgrp leader, and we might have to use
XXX and update kshpgrp accordingly - need feedback/help here but I think
XXX this simplification should be possible if I grok the code correctly.
etc/profile:
* adjust to $USER_ID changes in mksh (speed-up here, too)
mksh.hts:
* sync changelog
change – this might affect other OSes too in time for R34
• one of the regression tests had an unexpected failure if running as root
• www: sync clog; log newer mksh built on newer OpenBSD works fine
