Lukas “smultron” Upton from MidnightBSD spotted a script with /bin/sh
shebang invalidly using “&>” in some Apple backup toolkit, 10x

to signed rather. oops.
In this case: reset the locale to “C” at start.
Otherwise, perl/OpenBSD fails in an UTF-8 environment, just
because OpenBSD 4.3/zaurus still has no locales in 2008.
• my_pid = getpid(); setpgid(0, my_pid);
• if it hasn’t failed, the following is true: getpgrp() == my_pid
at least this is what I gather from TFM and the kernel source
waldi _thinks_ so, too
‣ macro afreechk() is superfluous
• get rid of macro afreechv() by re-doing the “don’t leak that much” code
• some KNF (mostly, whitespace and 80c) while here
strip it, but that might have other problems, better is to use realpath(2),
e.g. via readlink(1), for normalisation, or have the sysop fix it)
XXX make realpath a builtin?
* initialise the integers PPID, OPTIND, RANDOM, SECONDS, and TMOUT to base-10
* bring back PGRP as base-10 integer to the process group via getpgrp(2)
* initialise USER_ID as base-10 integer to the effective user id as retrieved
from geteuid(2) = $(id -u)
* use $USER_ID in dot.mkshrc instead of spawning an id(1) process
-> dot.mkshrc,v 1.34 now requires mksh R34
* convert more int to bool where appropriate
* remove dead code - getpgrp(2) cannot fail
* sync manual page to reality
* bump to mksh R34(beta) - feature freeze
XXX check if our_pgrp in jobs.c is still really needed, the setpgid call
XXX probably just makes us our own pgrp leader, and we might have to use
XXX and update kshpgrp accordingly - need feedback/help here but I think
XXX this simplification should be possible if I grok the code correctly.
etc/profile:
* adjust to $USER_ID changes in mksh (speed-up here, too)
mksh.hts:
* sync changelog
change – this might affect other OSes too in time for R34
• one of the regression tests had an unexpected failure if running as root
• www: sync clog; log newer mksh built on newer OpenBSD works fine
act strange… 10x Adam “replaced” Hoka for helping to find this
00:51⎜<replaced_> it needs -A
00:52⎜<mirabilos> heh. locale?
00:52⎜<replaced_> -A Translates on a byte-by-byte basis. When this flag
00:52⎜<replaced_> is specified tr does not support extended
00:52⎜<replaced_> characters.
00:52⎜<replaced_> LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8
00:52⎜<mirabilos> hmmm
00:52⎜<mirabilos> but that is weird too
00:52⎜<mirabilos> I don't see why it shouldn't work
00:52⎜<replaced_> yeah, it should act the same
00:53⎜<mirabilos> try this please:
00:53⎜<mirabilos> without -A
00:53⎜<mirabilos> echo sys/param.h | env LC_ALL=C /bin/tr -c

00:53⎜<replaced_> this works of course
which oksh used for their ulimit change, as I’m not going
to hack on it for now… maybe editing the optstring as it
is parsed (in the first loop), but… naah, not now
‣ now, a “ksh93” just requires ‘function precmd { :; }; set -o emacs’
afterwards to get rid of the annoying error messages
‣ I could lose that with the following idiom:
- PS1='$(precmd)…
+ PS1='$(typeset -i e=$?; typeset -f precmd >&- && { (return $e); precmd })…
but it didn’t seem worthwhile to me
