issue spotted by carstenh, could have been a documentation ambiguity issue
(as -N was designed to read and return exactly n bytes), but this resolves
it in a way both backwards-compatible and user-pleasing
separate the backslash+newline things out of the *.opt files,
logically not 100% clean, but better as it is not generated
content anyway (keeping the one-liners in there for now, even
though more consistent would be shifting them out as well)
• support NSIG_MAX from http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=741
and make a TODO for later to use sysconf(_SC_NSIG) at runtime
• bounds-check signals (e.g. no smaller than 1, but smaller than NSIG)
• align trap errorlevel with other shells
• make trap match what’s in POSIX and fixup the manpage
• refactor some code related to signals
• hide from kill builtin both EXIT and ERR pseudo-signals
• ord() new, From: Daniel Richard G. <skunk@iSKUNK.ORG>
‣ used in some places
• (c - '0') → ksh_numdig(c) # may take *x++ argument
• (c - 'A') → ksh_numuc(c) # may NOT take *x+= argument
‣ idem for ksh_numlc(c) and 'a'
‣ these need changing for EBCDIC
‣ add testsuite for this
• use macros more, they exist already often
• use digits_lc[foo] instead of ('0' + foo), especially for letters
• caught another ksh_eq case…
• also caught a maybe-UB overflow check, but we don’t have TIME_T_MAX ☹
handle unknown bases as ksh93 does: larger downgrade to 10
(although our max will stay 36, as ksh93 doesn’t have upper/lowecase)
and smaller downgrade for typeset -i, but not for arithmetics
• all: bump version to R50-current; add more comments; whitespace
• all: remove all mkssert(); we’ll do full re-runs of scan-build and,
hopefully, Coverity Scan/Prevent
• check.t: fix a testcase (sed could exit false, but we don’t care)
• eval.c: fix tilde_ok data type (only unsigned may shl constantly)
• exec.c: fix shebang buf array accesses to always go via uint8_t *
• 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 ;)
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.
command; setting one still unsets the other at first)
• Change subst_exstat to be conformant unless -o sh is set and -o posix isn’t
• In lksh, make subst_exstat (newly) conformant if -o posix
• New MKSH_BINSHPOSIX to accompany MKSH_BINSHREDUCED
• Sync lksh manpage precisely
• 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
• mail.c was removed anyway
• we do not use “long long” in mksh, since it’s not in ANSI C89
instead, we probably need some 64-bit ops in the long run, but we can
use some host types (might want to use time_t for tv_sec, but we cannot
print that yet); might need to handle them in some generic manner…
that get used, plus one for the realpath-1 regression test; also make
sys_siglist_decl detection nicer and poison strerror() with non-const
return value ifdef DEBUG, make it always const
• all writers of exstat ensure the value is in [0; 0xFF]
• all readers of exstat AND it with 0xFF (not strictly needed thus)
• trap_exstat is “safe”, i.e. always either -1 or [0; 0xFF]
This was actually more evil:
• use a recursive function to display blocks in reverse order,
so that local variable values overwrite global ones
• add array support to typeset -p (from typeset -p -)
• display 'set -A varname' line before setting values, for -p
• if -p got arguments, only display those (from the innermost scope)
Also, the usual amount of code cleanup…
• promote SCO OpenServer and UnixWare to !oswarn
• omit trying -O2/-O on OpenServer 5 and USL C
• cast mksh_ari_t to int, mksh_uari_t to unsigned int for printf
• skip ulimit-1 on syllable (which is still too broken)
• write ((mksh_ari_t)-2147483648) ipv UB ((mksh_ari_t)1 << 31)
and add a comment that that is actually meant
• rewrite functions returning !void ending in NOTREACHED
so they’ve got a jump target returning an error at the
end, to aid older compilers and just to be safe
• cast struct stat.st_size to off_t or size_t explicitly when needed
• shorten struct env by two bytes and an alignment, at least
also, optimise control flow and fix more paren matching cases
on unblock just fine and hurt since they interrupt select(2)
① and² SIGPIPE, SIGINFO, SIGUSR{1,2} in addition to already blocked SIGCHLD
② exact list open for suggestions – I’ve got no idea what I’m doing…
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)
• while here, reformat 'struct tbl' comment-wise and placement-wise
and drop the Tflag typedef
• while here, write regression test for the "global" built-in, which
does what typeset is supposed to do except that it doubles as "local"
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
• ensure that bool/true/false are cpp macros, overriding any pre-defined
• document the requirement that tobool(x) must map any-type 'x' into bool
• document the requirement that a bool must only be true or false, and
that it (tobool() rather) must have an identity mapping to 'short'
• possibly fix ksh_func for/and fpFUNCTf – maybe spotted by cnuke@
a bit more with POSIX and the other shells
I considered http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=253 but the use
of bi_errorf() is interesting, especially as it’s often enough a
noreturn function, and funnily enough, 'cd -P /foo' returns 0 while
'chdir -P /foo' fails (so idk where to put -e)…
⇒ consider merging simplify_path()
• move funcs.c:c_cd() to misc.c
• make misc.c:make_path() static, c_cd() is its only user
⇒ mark as obsolete
• tweak misc.c:set_current_wd() to drop ksh_get_wd() argument
should be no code change, but the entire path stuff is a mess…
so expect actual implementation changes or even rewrites shortly
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?
• functions called by mksh’s grouping memory allocator
• functions called by mksh code itself
the latter may be changed to call the internal grouping allocator,
if a porter so desires (but if this were recommended, the code in
question would already do so, so…)
