• detecting a lot more compilers (stolen from CMake, admittedly, as they
were the first coming up at G**gle with usable #ifdefs)
• handling MIPSpro
• more system info on IRIX
‣ I/O redirection seems broken:
$ (date; date >/dev/null; date) | wc -l
1 (expected: 2)
‣ other than that: working fine
‣ -YBSD (default) and -YSYSTEM_FIVE don’t work, just -YPOSIX, somehow
• Fix $(…) to `…` for OSF/1 V2.0 /bin/sh
‣ this compiler is FUBAR though:
$ cat >t.c
main() { return (foo()); }
$ cc t.c
ld:
Unresolved :
foo
$ echo $?
0
$ ls -l a.out
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mirbsd users 10835 Jul 21 17:12 a.out
‣ it seems to have ucode, but man is not installed
• new mirtoconf check: mkstemp(3)
• if !HAVE_MKSTEMP (Ultrix), use tempnam(3)
• only use printf(1) if it exists (it doesn’t on Ultrix)
• a few more signals
• add S_ISLNK if the OS doesn’t define it
• add strcasecmp(3) proto for Ultrix (it _is_ in <portability.h>, but
only for -YBSD I think)
• fgrep(1) on Ultrix doesn’t do “-e ① -e ②”
10x DEChengst:#UnixNL for giving access
| csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &'
and
| /usr/mpkg/bin/pgrphack /usr/mpkg/bin/svscanboot &
can now be replaced with
| /bin/mksh -T- /usr/mpkg/bin/svscanboot
it can’t do -Werror, that’s why it mis-detects attribute support.
ignore the warnings (unused variables, uninitialised values, control flow)
as I checked them and they are not valid. gcc 1.42 (BSDi modified) compiles
a very fine mksh
| OSF1 rubbereendje.dechengst.nl V5.1 2650 alpha
with the vendor compiler:
| Compaq C V6.5-011 on HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650)
| Compiler Driver V6.5-003 (sys) cc Driver
• the platform’s sig_t is incompatible too (simplify check)
• no compile warnings at all
• results in:

• minor testsuite issues:
FAIL ./check.t:regression-13
unexpected stderr - got too much output
wanted nothing
got:
Successful
cat: output error
⇒ probably harmless
• works like a charm!
• DEC C on OSF/1 (10x Jupp the IceWM coffee pot maintainer)
• other stuff which doesn’t nuke a.out on failure
XXX this must be tested on *ALL* supported platforms!
with GNU groff – add some special handling to the BSD mdoc macros for it so
that the manual pages look good in both utf8 and ps (PDF) mode; also fix in
mksh wrong display of ` (groff: ‘), ' (groff: ’), \' (groff: ´), \- (groff:
U+2212 −), the en dash (nroff doesn’t have it, use the em dash there ONLY),
and ~ and ^ (groff: placed atop and size-reduced, for use as diacritics, in
manual pages bad since these are control characters there)
→ PDF manpage now has ‘’ “” and good-looking hyphens and mini and ~ and ^
→ utf8 manpage now has ‘’ “”, good-looking hyphens, cut’n’pasteable mini
→ nroff manpage still has '' "" instead of ugly `' ``'' or even `´
→ Debian lintian won’t complain any longer
me, which points out that “gnroff -Tutf8” mangles the ‘-’ characters
(hyphen/minus) from the input into ‘‐’ characters (hyphen), which does
not make sense in many cases and prevent copy’n’paste → fix
no change in nrcon output
