• try harder (in a loop) to acquire a file lock if the locking mechanism
documents EINTR is a possibility (fcntl always, flock on Linux not .Ox)
• use -std=c99 not -std=gnu99 if it must be at all
if we find any, but not later; do not check on every read
⇒ allows changing COLUMNS and LINES (independent of each other, or both)
for script shells by passing them in an environment setting, even if
we get a tty; interactive shells still check before each line is read…
reported by the PLD guys, thanks
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
• IBM XL C: display version better (tested on V7.0 by cnuke@)
• do not 'IFS=: read nr name', Cygwin 1.7 dash fails it
• disable cd-pe, glob-range-3 on Cygwin (the former cannot
succeed because the mv fails, the latter fails from 1.7 on)
• mark heredoc-tmpfile-8 as need-pass: no
• apply __attribute__ only to a function prototype, not to
the body (even if static), since xlC fails that
• bump version to R40 (beta)
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)…
and switches to the TARGET_OS=Linux
• introduce android as regression test suite category
• add an android specific standard alias
• clean up redundant ‘-o sh’ arg in a few checks
UTF-8 BOM instead (UTFMODE has a separate value now for activated
during BOM skipping)
• parsing a COMSUB now skips UTF-8 BOM, too, but only temporarily
• PIPESTATUS now supported (like bash 2) whose last member
may actually differ from $? since the latter may not be the
result of a pipeline partial command
• add regression tests, documentation, etc.
• in interactive mode, always look up {LC_{ALL,CTYPE},LANG} environment
variables if setlocale/nl_langinfo(CODESET) doesn’t suffice
• add the ability to call any builtin (some don't make sense or wouldn't
work) directly by analysing argv[0]
• for direct builtin calls, the {LC_{ALL,CTYPE},LANG} environment
variables determine utf8-mode, even if MKSH_ASSUME_UTF8 was set
• when called as builtin, echo behaves POSIXish
• add domainname as alias for true on MirBSD only, to be able to link it
• sync mksh Makefiles with Build.sh output
• adjust manpage wrt release plans
• link some things to mksh now that we have callable builtins:
bin/echo bin/kill bin/pwd bin/sleep (exact matches)
bin/test bin/[ (were scripts before)
bin/domainname=usr/bin/true usr/bin/false (move to /bin/ now)
• drop linked utilities and, except for echo and kill, their manpages
• adjust instbin and link a few more there as well
