merged:
• new regression tests
• check.pl (tests/th) better tmpfile handling
• exec.c 1.50: POSIX specifies that for an AND/OR list,
only the last command's exit status matters for "set -e"
• ksh.1 1.147: document the above
• eval.c 1.39: “Make $(< /nonexistent) have the same behaviour
as $(cat /nonexistent) wrt. errors (do not unwind and do not
treat this as fatal if set -e is used).”
‣ additionally make shf_open() return errno and actually show
the error message from the system
• regression-39 test: remove the “maybe” marker
‣ but decide on correct POSIX behaviour
already been fixed in mksh:
• check.pl (tests/th) exit 1 if tests fail
not merged:
• main.c 1.52: run traps in unwind() before exiting;
I’m pretty sure this is already working as-should in mksh
• eval.c 1.38: “Commands executed via `foo` or $( bar ) should
not inherit "set -e" status.” As discussed in IRC, this is
just plainly WRONG.
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
fix the regression test’s results while here, which have been
broken since cid 10049D9BE5254CE65B8
• get rid of separate copyright file which was intended for De-
bian; track down commits in all files of oksh-mirbsd and mksh
to get correct copyright years per-file, as is BSD custom
but the Pentium 120 with a Hercules graphics card (anno 1981)
survives it:
allow building and running the testsuite if the source or
build directory contain spaces (not unusual on Windows®)
sitory whose ChangeLog follows. mksh R21 is licenced under the MirOS li-
cence, shown in "sh.h", and a two-clause UCB-style licence by Marc Espie
as shown in "alloc.c".
This executable is a fair bit smaller and shorter than our /bin/ksh that
it is designed to eventually replace (as /bin/sh hardlink), with the old
/bin/ksh to completely vanish. It is still in beta testing though, and I
don't think it will compile on other operating systems.
mksh R21 is a completely new port, bringing together the OpenBSD-current
/bin/ksh, the MirOS-current /bin/ksh and the older mksh R20 (which still
was portable, ocvs-based).
