another showing deeper problems (probably LP#1381993 “non-list contexts” or
the IFS_WS/IFS_IWS story, perhaps *all* IFS_WS (not just ternaries) really
should be IFS_IWS instead?)
• permit interrupts during a write(2) loop in the cat builtin, too,
not just in the read(2) loop – fixes inability to kill a clogged
output cat
• kill the cat when smores finish
TODO: revisit this ⓐ in more depth, ⓑ for other functions, such as
“hd”, and ⓒ test on AOSP as well
calls in Build.sh, we need HOSTCC for that… which we should do, using BER
or something encoded for integers, and pregenerated hashtables as planned)
also, bump to R50 beta, due to today’s language changes
use errorf() while nameref states were being changed (by almost completely
eliminating the global variable) and the readonly first array variable
bypass (typo/refactoro); also, whitespace, one int → bool, and add a
comment wrt. the parser rewrite talked about with igli during a fever ;)
‣ not like oksh did, but using mksh’s built-in features
• handle suggested __pure additions
• revert cid 1004F7F096867C83CF0
‣ always use our wcwidth code
‣ only use our strlcpy code if none found
• fix a couple of gcc-snapshot and clang/scan-build warnings
• mksh R49~rc1
one set of CTRL, UNCTRL, and new ISCTRL macros) C0 and DEL handling; the
optimisation only works for 7-bit ASCII, so those places 8-bit must pass
intact have an added check
also, while here, remove an editor oops (‘;’), oksh rcsid sync (they did
accept I was right wrt. set -e), int → bool, and code merge/cleanup
Add a proper suspend builtin that saves/restores the tty and pgrp
as needed instead of an alias that just sends SIGSTOP. Login shells
may be suspended if they are not running in an orphan process group.
TODO: I am seriously considering following Chet and changing
the way this works, by explicitly dropping privs unless the
shell is run with -p. Every other shell does it like mksh,
except Heirloom sh, which on the other hand doesn’t know any
explicit set -p or set +p (though it doesn’t know set +foo
for any foo either).
┌──┤ QUESTION: Do we need the ability to do this:
│ tg@blau:~ $ ./suidmksh -p -c 'whoami; set +p; whoami'
│ root
│ tg
If not, I’m seriously considering to drop set ±p as well,
only parse -p on the command line, with +p being the default,
and dropping FPRIVILEGED.
Thanks to RT for noticing and jilles for initial follow-up
discussion, as well as Chet Ramey for doing the sane/secure
thing instead of following Debian.
Steffen Daode Nurpmeso stumbled upon it and gave very detailed
instructions on how to reproduce it (thanks!); fix that
also only call x_bs0 if xcp < xep because *xep is undefined
prompt display routines; make Emacs and Vi share
code, permitting reducing of duplication and code
removal as well as more consistent behaviour; put
some common code into shared helper functions, too
• New x_adjust() logic (Emacs mode): when determining
what portion of a line to render use a much more
sophisticated algorithm and try to fill up ⅔ of the
total screen width (with line and prompt both) also
as wished from Steffen Daode Nurpmeso
Whenever the SIGEXIT trap was set (to anything, really)
syntax errors and interruptions were not ignored any more
in an interactive shell (where they should be, unless
set -e is used); fix that.
tbd: traps should probably only be marked as pending
and run for LLEAVE/E_NONE
