• tty_fd is now never closed
• new tty_hasstate tracks tty_state (cf. thread around
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.miros.mksh/79 and PLD bug)
• as users requested, importing COLUMNS or LINES from the environment
now removes its special-ness as does unsetting it
• otherwise, setting COLUMNS or LINES is honoured until the next SIGWINCH
arrives or change_winsz is otherwise run (e.g. before displaying the
prompt in the interactive command line editing modes)
• SIGWINCH is now honoured before each reading of $COLUMNS and $LINES too
• change the Uhr to match – it no longer calls stty(1) ☺
to get rid of the bias introduced by making the hash never zero
… he also pointed out a memory (heap) usage optimisation… which
may impact code size a bit though as I’d need to pass an additional
argument on hashtable function calls… or, forgo the benefit of not
having to pointer-align the key in the structure, which can be as
much as 3/7 octets per item, heap storage… OTOH the saved space is
4/8 octets per not-allocated item, possibly some code (use of an
multiply-add opcode), but the function call overhead/cost would
possibly be quite a bit… I guess I’ll have to measure…
handle any more, octal 010 style constants, as promised
• overhaul the manpage re. arithmetic expressions, make the guarantees
mksh code has explicitly, precisely, clear
• to reduce burden of the compiler, getint() now operates on mksh_uari_t
internally; it already applied the sign after operation, anyway (C99
guarantees wraparound on unsigned types, but for signed types we need
specific compiler support; apparently, this comes from hardware limits)
• use const and shuffle order of locals around while here
in the cases where they are defined unambiguously; bug reported by
Jilles Tjoelker in <20111129232526.GC14357@stack.nl> due to a report
by Stefano Lattarini on bug-autoconf
in the ambiguous case, I stick to traditional pdksh behaviour, which means
test ! a = b vs. test a = b
and
test ! a -o b vs. test a -o b
behave different from each other (in the second case, the NOT operator
binds strong; POSIX demands a reduction to 3 arguments and negating
that result in the first case), so we're at two known not-ok in the
FreeBSD® testsuite. (81 and 82 in regress.sh,v 1.3)
move /etc/{,suid_}profile to /system/etc/ for Android (but do not make
the location of /etc configurable); rewrite manpage section about
/etc/{,suid_}profile, .profile, .mkshrc
Testsuite:
• add new need-pass: {yes|no} attribute, default yes
• exit with 1 if a need-pass test failed unexpectedly
idea by Kacper Kornet <draenog@pld-linux.org>
• mark utf8bom-2 as need-pass: no
Infrstructure:
• add housekeeping function for making a tty raw
• switch functions with unused results to void
• struct op: u.charflag contains last char of ;; in TPAT
• var.c:arraysearch is now a global function
Language:
• add ;& (fall through) and ;| (examine next) delimiters
in addition to ;; (end case) as zsh extensions, because
POSIX standardised on ;& already
• add -A (read into array), -N (read exactly n bytes),
-n (read up to n bytes), -t (timeout) flags for read
from ksh93
• allow read -N -1 or -n -1 to slurp the entire input
• add -a (read into array the input characters) extension
specific to mksh to read, idea by David Korn
• add -e (exit with error if PWD was not set correctly
after a physical cd) to cd builtin, mandated by next
POSIX, and change error codes accordingly
Rewrites:
• full rewrite of read builtin and its manpage section
• add regression tetss for most of the new functionality
• duplicate hexdump demo tests for use of read -a
• use read -raN-1 in dot.mkshrc to get NUL safe base64,
DJB cdb hash and Jenkins one-at-a-time hash functions
• don’t leak memory parsing possible I/O redirection tokens
• get rid of volatile by using more const (also helps codegen, methinks)
• support empty here document markers (mksh extension)
• pimp the manpage
