allocator using malloc and free, with mmap malloc and omalloc in mind,
not counterfeiting its security measures such as guard pages, and having
some of our own, e.g. XOR random cookies, optional mprotect, etc.
zero cost (for we have arc4random())
“-sh” if -DMKSH_BINSHREDUCED was passed during compilation, for example
for Debian, but d̲e̲f̲i̲n̲i̲t̲i̲v̲e̲l̲y̲ n̲̲o̲̲t̲̲ for MirBSD™
• split up regression test to force this behaviour
• remove the gunk from our MirBSD™ startup scripts again
• mention arc4random.c changes on website, sync clog, warn packagers
and .data instead of another initialisation; this was prompted by a bug
in scan-build (the value can never be NULL, but it doesn’t realise it),
although this doesn’t fix it, but less stack usage is always good
‣ only if !MKSH_SMALL
‣ add appropriate regression test
• if FPOSIX is set, do not close fds > 2 on exec, Debian #499139
• add appropriate regression tests for keeping fds private or not
‣ macro afreechk() is superfluous
• get rid of macro afreechv() by re-doing the “don’t leak that much” code
• some KNF (mostly, whitespace and 80c) while here
* initialise the integers PPID, OPTIND, RANDOM, SECONDS, and TMOUT to base-10
* bring back PGRP as base-10 integer to the process group via getpgrp(2)
* initialise USER_ID as base-10 integer to the effective user id as retrieved
from geteuid(2) = $(id -u)
* use $USER_ID in dot.mkshrc instead of spawning an id(1) process
-> dot.mkshrc,v 1.34 now requires mksh R34
* convert more int to bool where appropriate
* remove dead code - getpgrp(2) cannot fail
* sync manual page to reality
* bump to mksh R34(beta) - feature freeze
XXX check if our_pgrp in jobs.c is still really needed, the setpgid call
XXX probably just makes us our own pgrp leader, and we might have to use
XXX and update kshpgrp accordingly - need feedback/help here but I think
XXX this simplification should be possible if I grok the code correctly.
etc/profile:
* adjust to $USER_ID changes in mksh (speed-up here, too)
mksh.hts:
* sync changelog
• apply diff from mirbsdksh-1.11:
#ifdef DUP2_BROKEN
/* Ultrix systems like to preserve the close-on-exec flag */
‣ XXX we do #ifdef __ultrix here (imake-style) instead of mirtoconfing it
(but does anyone know of any other OS with the same problem? plus we’d
see it as we now know the symptoms)
• remove ultrix Build.hs warn=' but might work…' in the hope it DOES
‣ I/O redirection seems broken:
$ (date; date >/dev/null; date) | wc -l
1 (expected: 2)
‣ other than that: working fine
‣ -YBSD (default) and -YSYSTEM_FIVE don’t work, just -YPOSIX, somehow
• Fix $(…) to `…` for OSF/1 V2.0 /bin/sh
‣ this compiler is FUBAR though:
$ cat >t.c
main() { return (foo()); }
$ cc t.c
ld:
Unresolved :
foo
$ echo $?
0
$ ls -l a.out
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mirbsd users 10835 Jul 21 17:12 a.out
‣ it seems to have ucode, but man is not installed
• new mirtoconf check: mkstemp(3)
• if !HAVE_MKSTEMP (Ultrix), use tempnam(3)
• only use printf(1) if it exists (it doesn’t on Ultrix)
• a few more signals
• add S_ISLNK if the OS doesn’t define it
• add strcasecmp(3) proto for Ultrix (it _is_ in <portability.h>, but
only for -YBSD I think)
• fgrep(1) on Ultrix doesn’t do “-e ① -e ②”
10x DEChengst:#UnixNL for giving access
In contrast to AT&T ksh93, its semantics are like GNU bash in that it ap-
pends the current working directory to the search path; it is implemented
as a shell alias instead of enhancing funcs.c:shbuiltins[] like in ksh93.
is a compromise anyway; these lunox people will have to live with that, too
many existing korn shell alike scripts depend on it even if not on the full
korn shell syntax availability (note: this doesn't mean using these in some
script with #!/bin/sh is ok)
Analysis:
internal_errorf(int, fmt, ...) was only a __dead function if the int argument
was non-0, which the Prevent probably was unable to follow. Change all uses of
internal_errorf(0, fmt, ...) to internal_warningf(fmt, ...); change the pro-
totype of internal_errorf() to internal_errorf(fmt, ...) and all remaining
uses remove the non-0 int argument; add __dead to internal_errorf() proto;
flesh out guts of internal_errorf() and internal_warningf() into a new local
function for optimisation purposes.
Some whitespace cleanup and dead code removal (return after internal_errorf(1))
given to execute, standard input (interactive or not), via -c command line
argument, or after “eval”, but not for $(…) comsubs, at the beginning of a
subsequent line, or within a line, etc.); regression test for it
idea during my “week off” (despite the pain), bsiegert@ thinks it's good –
and utf-8 capable tools ought to be able to do this anyway
and have it return an API-correct const char *
• enhance and stylify comments
• a little KNF and simplifications
• #ifdef DEBUG: replace strchr and strstr with ucstrchr and ucstrstr
that take and return a non-const char *, and fix the violations
• new cstrchr, cstrstr (take and give const char *)
• new vstrchr, vstrstr (take const or not, give boolean value)
• new afreechk(x) = afreechv(x,x) = if (x1) afree(x2, ATEMP)
• new ksh_isdash(str) = (str != NULL) && !strcmp(str, "-")
• replace the only use of strrchr with inlined code to shrink
• minor man page fixes
• Minix 3 signames are autogenerated with gcc
• rename strlfun.c to strlcpy.c since we don't do strlcat(3) anyway,
only strlcpy(3), and shorten it
• dot.mkshrc: move MKSH=… down to the export line
to not disturb the PS1 visual impression ☺
• dot.mkshrc: Lstripcom(): optimise
• bump version
¹) side effect from creating API-correct cstrchr, cstrstr, etc.
uses goto so it must be better ☻
tested on mirbsd-current via both Makefile and Build.sh
to strcasestr, it was used in a wrong way (reverse logic error in
checking its return value), turning to mis-detection of UTF-8 locale.
* sh.h, check.t: bump version
* copyright: bump year
main.c: In function 'main':
main.c:208: warning: cast discards qualifiers from pointer target type
main.c:329: warning: cast discards qualifiers from pointer target type
no warnings at autoconf time left either; will take care of these two later
(might revisit changes from this commit), maybe change declararion for the
builtins to have their argv[] be const strings, and go through strict type
and qualifier checking again. this'll further improve stability.
XXX these changes might have introduced (more?) memory leaks,
XXX someone who knows about these tools should verify with
XXX automatic memory usage analysers (valgrind?)
still passes testsuite
* edit.c: remove debug stuff again; next time better use shl.c functions ;)
* sh.h: add format attributes to a few shf functions
* histrap.c, var.c: fix format string mistakes
* main.c, sh.h: error_prefix and warningf take bool not int
* misc.c: make chvt() stuff use shf_* functions
* misc.c: rewrite the TIOCSTTY stuff to be better integrated in mksh,
since it originally was an external patch
* misc.c: chvt() no longer fails if e.g. chown fails due to e.g. R/O / fs
* var.c: fix typeset padding for right-justified zero-filled
* integrate compat.h, version.h into sh.h (dependency trick didn't work anyway)
* mention #ksh in mksh(1) since the founder (twkm) said it's on topic too
(don't remove mention of #mksh despite it's usually empty because of control)

because I asked for community feedback but...
but sync RCS IDs for easier future adaption:
* Simplify savefd() by removing the "noclose" flag and make noclose
behavior the default. Almost all uses of savefd() are followed
by an implicit or explicit close.
* fix typos
* might as well make ksh_getopt() match real getopt(), ie. get rid of that
stupid EOF concept that was never true. adobriyan@gmail
* use SEEK_* for lseek()
* fix lint comments, no functional changes
* remove excessive optimization; from adobriyan@gmail
* only santa checks things twice; from adobriyan@gmail
* Interpret zero-filled numbers as decimal; PR 4213; from Alexey Dobriyan
have been read, for non-priviledgued shells only. If $ENV is
set, ~/.mkshrc is ignored (even if the file pointed to by $ENV
does not exist in the first place).
Feature requested by Jari Aalto for portable mksh because some
operating systems' vendors do not allow touching the profile.
Initial diff and manual page addition by Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
Code changes and manual page correctness by me.
but write a good chunk of that code myself (better structured, better error
handling, more gotos, less function calls, int -> bool)
passes all tests on mirbsd; this will become mksh R25 once tested on other
supported OSes
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).
- expat as discussed with bsiegert@ today on the phone
- ksh as announced earlier on the lists
* un-hook lib/libexpat from make includes
* remove /usr/include/{,open}ssl upgrade workaround from includes/Makefile
* nuke old bin/ksh
* nuke libexpat and xmlwf
Restore sp before calling snptreef() so the error message contains
the actual expression that caused the error. OK otto@
while here, nice-ify a #define, and bump the mksh version number
to R20 which I somehow forgot... need sleep
From: Todd C. Miller <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>
The following ksh diff needs wide testing. It does the following:
1) proper error message for bad substitution.
Before:
$ echo ${a[@]:foo}
ksh: : bad substitution
After:
$ echo ${a[@]:foo}
ksh: ${a[@]:foo}: bad substitution
2) fix a core dump for "echo ${a[@]:?foo}".
3) fix a use-after-free bug (from otto@)
quite a bit, and users can seed $RANDOM in their ~/.profile
by using RANDOM=$(dd if=/dev/prandom count=1 2>/dev/null |\
cksum | while read a b; do echo $a; done) instead.
