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
• sig_t detection was a bit insane, it is a function-pointer type after all
• fix uninitialised variable in c_select which led to mistakenly accepting
invalid (nōn-numeric) input and acting, randomly, upon it
• keep SIGCHLD blocked in child after forking longer, for job list manip
• block SIGCHLD ifdef DEBUG_LEAKS to not run job foo during/after afreeall
• fix annoying ISO C90 vs. C99 (un)signed constant warning
• correct order of built-in commands; use POSIX special versus “all others”
plus “keeps assignments” as distinction, no longer play POSIX regular vs.
others game; sync manpage
• fix LP#1156707: map (( internally to “let]” which is no valid function
name and so can’t be overridden but is unlikely to be used otherwhere
and not strictly permitted (by POSIX) anyway
• we do not need -Wno-overflow any more, either
• bump to R45
is larger than the positive range of the latter (implementation-defined), so
avoid them in all explicit cases and rearrange stuff and check for it
(I’m gonna have to revise lots more code…)
