• all writers of exstat ensure the value is in [0; 0xFF]
• all readers of exstat AND it with 0xFF (not strictly needed thus)
• trap_exstat is “safe”, i.e. always either -1 or [0; 0xFF]
several conditions are met as outlined below; for more background, refer to
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=113860
We don’t yet optimise 「% sh -c '{ echo a; sleep 10;}&'; sleep 1; ps T」 so
the FreeBSD® sh approach cannot work for us, but scanning the “sh -c” argu‐
ment for disallowed characters and, if not, setting a flag that enables the
shell to exec the tree when parsed as TCOM *and not c_trap()* was possible.
Disallowed characters are currently C_QUOTE except space, that is:
Tab Newline " # $ & ' ( ) * ; < = > ? [ \ ] ` |
This should catch all cases of magic, variables, subshells, pipelines, etc.
• while here, reformat 'struct tbl' comment-wise and placement-wise
and drop the Tflag typedef
• while here, write regression test for the "global" built-in, which
does what typeset is supposed to do except that it doubles as "local"
Testsuite:
• add new need-pass: {yes|no} attribute, default yes
• exit with 1 if a need-pass test failed unexpectedly
idea by Kacper Kornet <draenog@pld-linux.org>
• mark utf8bom-2 as need-pass: no
Infrstructure:
• add housekeeping function for making a tty raw
• switch functions with unused results to void
• struct op: u.charflag contains last char of ;; in TPAT
• var.c:arraysearch is now a global function
Language:
• add ;& (fall through) and ;| (examine next) delimiters
in addition to ;; (end case) as zsh extensions, because
POSIX standardised on ;& already
• add -A (read into array), -N (read exactly n bytes),
-n (read up to n bytes), -t (timeout) flags for read
from ksh93
• allow read -N -1 or -n -1 to slurp the entire input
• add -a (read into array the input characters) extension
specific to mksh to read, idea by David Korn
• add -e (exit with error if PWD was not set correctly
after a physical cd) to cd builtin, mandated by next
POSIX, and change error codes accordingly
Rewrites:
• full rewrite of read builtin and its manpage section
• add regression tetss for most of the new functionality
• duplicate hexdump demo tests for use of read -a
• use read -raN-1 in dot.mkshrc to get NUL safe base64,
DJB cdb hash and Jenkins one-at-a-time hash functions
• only trigger deleting an alias in favour of a function for “()”, not
just the opening parenthesis: “stop( )” is not a function definition
(well, actually it seems to be, but… not according to POSIX, anyway)
• defer dropping the alias until the function is actually defined (õÕ)
• 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
– 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
• deactivate %a and %A since our libc doesn’t have it
• rewrite the mksh integration code to use shf instead of stdio, removing
floating point support always in the process, as shf doesn’t support it
⇒ saves 11114 (6706 text, 168 data, 4240 bss) with dietlibc on Debian
• fix -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wstrict-aliasing=2 for gcc (Debian 4.4.4-7)
• fix these and -Wc++-compat for gcc version 4.6.0 20100711 (experimental)
[trunk revision 162057] (Debian 20100711-1) except:
– a few enum warnings that relate to eglibc’s {g,s}etrlimit() functions
taking an enum instead of an int because they’re too stupid to adhere
to POSIX interfaces they design by themselves
– all “request for implicit conversion” involving a "void *" on one side
• tweak the manual page somewhat more
I read, IIRC in the Cederqvist, that 'cvs tag' sets a sticky tag onto
the cwd… it doesn’t, apparently. (I actually like it better this way,
but one needs to know!)
just a "somewhat more POSIX" but also a "/bin/sh legacy kludge" mode
* consistently capitalise POSIX and SUSv3/SUSv4 (same as AT&T ksh) and
Bourne shell
• shell flags are now handled in one single place (sh_flags.h)
• sync comments (between enum and array) and manpage with reality
• FMONITOR is now no longer needed for Hartz IV shells
return information needed to do a real ktremove instead of the pseudo
ktdelete operation which merely unsets the DEFINED flag to mark it as
eligible for texpand garbage collection (even worse, !DEFINED entries
are still counted)
much better avalanche and no known funnels
• improve comments
• fix some types (uint32_t for hash, size_t for sizes)
• optimise ktsort()
no functional change, I think
