calls in Build.sh, we need HOSTCC for that… which we should do, using BER
or something encoded for integers, and pregenerated hashtables as planned)
also, bump to R50 beta, due to today’s language changes
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).
