to address LP: #906914 (if your history file is corrupt or you
reach the end of HISTLINES, you’re still SOL)
quadruple the standard value for HISTSIZE to help users avoid it;
it’s much better to set it yourself if using persistent history
though; half it on MKSH_SMALL though which defaults to not use it
anyway
also fix handling of larger files a bit and limit the size until
which the files are considered (currently to 96 MiB) until such
time as mmap will no longer be employed to deal in them when the
offending code has been replaced by a rewrite…
① currently: ((cond) ? true : false) but (!!(cond)) and casting to bool,
the latter only if stdbool.h, would also work – which performs best on
(and across) all supported systems?
– possible integer overflows in memory allocation, mostly
‣ multiplication: all are checked now
‣ addition: reviewed them, most were “proven” or guessed to be
“almost” impossible to run over (e.g. when we have a string
whose length is taken it is assumed that the length will be
more than only a few bytes below SIZE_MAX, since code and
stack have to fit); some are checked now (e.g. when one of
the summands is an off_t); most of the unchecked ones are
annotated now
⇒ cost (MirBSD/i386 static): +76 .text
⇒ cost (Debian sid/i386): +779 .text -4 .data
– on Linux targets, setuid() setresuid() setresgid() can fail
with EAGAIN; check for that and, if so, warn once and retry
infinitely (other targets to be added later once we know that
they are “insane”)
⇒ cost (Debian sid/i386): +192 .text (includes .rodata)
• setmode.c: Do overflow checking for realloc() too; switch back
from calloc() to a checked malloc() for simplification while there
• define -DIN_MKSH and let setmode.c look a tad nicer while here
• deactivate %a and %A since our libc doesn’t have it
• rewrite the mksh integration code to use shf instead of stdio, removing
floating point support always in the process, as shf doesn’t support it
⇒ saves 11114 (6706 text, 168 data, 4240 bss) with dietlibc on Debian
• fix -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wstrict-aliasing=2 for gcc (Debian 4.4.4-7)
• fix these and -Wc++-compat for gcc version 4.6.0 20100711 (experimental)
[trunk revision 162057] (Debian 20100711-1) except:
– a few enum warnings that relate to eglibc’s {g,s}etrlimit() functions
taking an enum instead of an int because they’re too stupid to adhere
to POSIX interfaces they design by themselves
– all “request for implicit conversion” involving a "void *" on one side
• tweak the manual page somewhat more
concurrently accessing the same $HISTFILE be more synchronised with
each other: empty lines (just pressing Return) and duplicates (that
are split and written twice by the lines loaded from $HISTFILE in
the meantime); requested by Maximilian “mxey” Gaß in #!/bin/mksh
just a "somewhat more POSIX" but also a "/bin/sh legacy kludge" mode
* consistently capitalise POSIX and SUSv3/SUSv4 (same as AT&T ksh) and
Bourne shell
• expose “#ifdef MKSH_MIDNIGHTBSD01ASH_COMPAT” just in case they decide to
require it and show it in the ksh version automatically
• sync the use of non-ASCII characters over files (unification)
fix the regression test’s results while here, which have been
broken since cid 10049D9BE5254CE65B8
• get rid of separate copyright file which was intended for De-
bian; track down commits in all files of oksh-mirbsd and mksh
to get correct copyright years per-file, as is BSD custom
was hard to type and hard to fix, galloc is also hard to fix, and some
things I learned will probably improve things more but make me use the
original form as base (especially for space savings)
* let sizeofN die though, remove even more casts
* optimise, polish
* regen Makefiles
* sprinkle a few /* CONSTCOND */ while here
$ (CCC_LD=mgcc CC=ccc sh Build.sh -r && ./test.sh -v) 2>&1 | tee log
Total failed: 2 (as expected)
Total passed: 278
Just the result is huge, and we could of course build to intermediate
byte code to optimise globally…
