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
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
(token stream, lexer output / parser input), EOS terminated, let
SASPAREN use the same lexing as SBASE (e.g. COMSUB recursively)
• make wdstrip recursive
• fix processing of COMSUB in wdstrip
⇒ pass comsub-1 test
• expose another debugging function
• use shf_putc (macro), shf_putchar (function) ipv tputc
• replace shf_putchar(x,y) calls for side-effect-less x with shf_putc
• plug another bug in the tree code – '\' → "\\" (backslashes must be
escaped inside double quotes, too)
• adjust testsuite (and, I _had_ wondered…)
EOF) # works again now, plugging a regression
• rewrite the here document parsing code to be *much* more efficient
(and a bit more readable too!) using goto, while here (no kidding)
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?
instead, but the parser for the so-called “backticks” (U+0060) still emits
plaintext COMSUB wdstrings, and the evaluation code emits plaintext if the
code is not run (‘-n’ option), so it’s not worth the effort and memory ma-
nagement issues, even though it _would_ optimise the most common case…
Bump version numbers, sync regression tests; add one testcase from the old
webpages too. Sync manpage, this now works, but keep the workaround in, as
“portability issue” with slightly changed wording.
Also, /bin/sleep must be used in one manpage example if sleep is built in.
• 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…)
• 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
a mirtoconf check, would’ve been a real problem on an LP64 platform
• sh.h: work around a bad interaction between -Wformat on gcc and manual
string pooling for T_synerr, which is used in place of a format string
in some places
– possible integer overflows in memory allocation, mostly
‣ multiplication: all are checked now
‣ addition: reviewed them, most were “proven” or guessed to be
“almost” impossible to run over (e.g. when we have a string
whose length is taken it is assumed that the length will be
more than only a few bytes below SIZE_MAX, since code and
stack have to fit); some are checked now (e.g. when one of
the summands is an off_t); most of the unchecked ones are
annotated now
⇒ cost (MirBSD/i386 static): +76 .text
⇒ cost (Debian sid/i386): +779 .text -4 .data
– on Linux targets, setuid() setresuid() setresgid() can fail
with EAGAIN; check for that and, if so, warn once and retry
infinitely (other targets to be added later once we know that
they are “insane”)
⇒ cost (Debian sid/i386): +192 .text (includes .rodata)
• setmode.c: Do overflow checking for realloc() too; switch back
from calloc() to a checked malloc() for simplification while there
• define -DIN_MKSH and let setmode.c look a tad nicer while here
