QNX 6.4 is out, which has a different waitfor() in <libutil.h>, which
we by definition of __NO_EXT_QNX do not want to use. They are in the
process of porting the NetBSD® pkgsrc® repository to it.
The /bin/ed situation hasn’t improved yet though.
starting with an ‘!’ exclamation mark at the beginning of a com-
mand (PS1 not PS2), shall have the same effect as the predefined
“r” alias, to be compatible with csh and GNU bash’s “!string” to
«Execute last used command starting with string» – documentation
and feature request provided by wbx@ (Waldemar Brodkorb)
and it actually REDUCES code size to allow it as well; mention
in the manpage that it’s merely unportable (and of course exe-
cution time differs); sync clog
• expose “#ifdef MKSH_MIDNIGHTBSD01ASH_COMPAT” just in case they decide to
require it and show it in the ksh version automatically
• sync the use of non-ASCII characters over files (unification)
│ Fix usage string for mknod builtin.
but don’t do a binary change as it doesn’t actually change anything
XXX fix all these usages anyway
XXX cd: cd: /home/tg/... - No such file or directory
XXX /bin/mksh: mknod: usage: mknod [-m mode] name [b | c] major minor
XXX /bin/mksh: mknod: mknod: No such file or directory
XXX etc. – but find out what POSuX demands ☹
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
${foo:1:2} operates on characters ipv bytes – which means:
‣ set +U: octets
‣ set -U: MirOS OPTU-8 characters
for consistency I also adapted ${#stringname} to deliver the
length in characters ipv bytes; more may follow; for example
I’d like a way to expose the string width.
you can already get the MirOS OPTU-16 of a character in the
WTF-8 (「set -U」) mode with something like
│ typeset -Uui16 -Z7 x=1#${stringname:position:1}
which will correctly use the PUA EF80‥EFFF mapping for octets.
due to this being an incompatible change, bump to R38
also change the unicode-hexdump sample regression test and
add two news for ${x:1:2} and ${#x} checks in A/W mode ☺
which escapes $(…) content does not know if an imbedded ‘#’ is a comment
leader or something else like “16#foo”, “${#bla[*]}”, “${foo#bar}”, &c.
and the comment skip code does not know about nesting beforehand
⇒ document this problem in the place where it already documents that
the current code does not properly handle nested $($(…)) expressions
patches welcome
struct env (other structures defined have no "foreign type with pos-
sible alignment constraints" members) and take care of it while dea-
ling in a struct env instance
if ((flags & (1 | 2) == 0) || (flags & (1 | 2) == (1 | 2)))
to
if (!(flags & 1) ^ !(flags & 2))
which works because ! returns 1 or 0, making the ^ an ^^, and
because XOR survives NOTting its arguments
