Closes: LP#1580348
‣ 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
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
