‣ I was convinced by several that more magic is never the solution
• fix a comment: function cat already had precedence
• change cat loader to look for existence, FPATH included, before
ditching the builtin; note that in manpage
plus plugs an ancient memory leak (hist_execute afree’s its arg now);
also partial revert of commitid 78014291f06497b3 as COMPLEX_HISTORY handles
multi-line commands correctly now (r1.4, 2005-05-23)
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
in commitid 1004D8283F068C41C3C was bogus; it fixed Jb_boin’s issue
but izabers’s 「var=foo; echo "${var/*/x}"」 was broken; in fact we
only want to not do the looping for // if the pattern matches much.
Also, fix a spelling mistake in the manpage and change some wording
to also work with associative arrays (in the future; no change).
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 ☹
