prompt display routines; make Emacs and Vi share
code, permitting reducing of duplication and code
removal as well as more consistent behaviour; put
some common code into shared helper functions, too
• New x_adjust() logic (Emacs mode): when determining
what portion of a line to render use a much more
sophisticated algorithm and try to fill up ⅔ of the
total screen width (with line and prompt both) also
as wished from Steffen Daode Nurpmeso
take the states that may open a string, only permit them by virtue of
moving the code out of Subst: to handle $+" and $+' at all; then add
S[Q]BRACE to that
side benefits:
• clearer, cleaner code flow
• smaller code
• better “business logic” ☺
• defuses one heavy use of duff’s device a bit
• promote SCO OpenServer and UnixWare to !oswarn
• omit trying -O2/-O on OpenServer 5 and USL C
• cast mksh_ari_t to int, mksh_uari_t to unsigned int for printf
• skip ulimit-1 on syllable (which is still too broken)
• write ((mksh_ari_t)-2147483648) ipv UB ((mksh_ari_t)1 << 31)
and add a comment that that is actually meant
• rewrite functions returning !void ending in NOTREACHED
so they’ve got a jump target returning an error at the
end, to aid older compilers and just to be safe
• cast struct stat.st_size to off_t or size_t explicitly when needed
• shorten struct env by two bytes and an alignment, at least
also, optimise control flow and fix more paren matching cases
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)
• don’t leak memory parsing possible I/O redirection tokens
• get rid of volatile by using more const (also helps codegen, methinks)
• support empty here document markers (mksh extension)
• pimp the manpage
