I read, IIRC in the Cederqvist, that 'cvs tag' sets a sticky tag onto
the cwd… it doesn’t, apparently. (I actually like it better this way,
but one needs to know!)
others (colon and equals sign need to be simply escaped, while dollar
sign and accent gravis need double escaping like opening square brak-
ket did back then); add = to C_QUOTE to simplify (doesn't break any-
thing) and sort these strings asciibetically while here
bash4 doesn’t have it at all, despite knowing associative arrays
zsh does it………… differently and weird
this is for indexed arrays, as mksh doesn’t have associative arrays
but it should help ☺
return information needed to do a real ktremove instead of the pseudo
ktdelete operation which merely unsets the DEFINED flag to mark it as
eligible for texpand garbage collection (even worse, !DEFINED entries
are still counted)
commented out for mksh R38* but also used // denoting a temporary, de-
bugging-only, code exclusion which never should have been in the wild
Caught by ucode cc on DEC ULTRIX (where else?), thanks DEChengst ☻☺
• 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 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 ☺
pass "xerrok" status across the execution call stack to more closely
match what both POSIX and [18]ksh.1 already describe in regards to set
-e/errexit's behavior in determining when to exit from nonzero return
values.
specifically, the truth values tested as operands to &&' and ||', as
well as the resulting compound expression itself, along with the truth
value resulting from a negated command (i.e. a pipeline prefixed !'),
should not make the shell exit when -e is in effect.
issue reported by matthieu.
testing matthieu, naddy.
ok miod (earlier version), otto.
man page ok jmc.
on Debian Lenny/amd64 (XXX need more verification; this
can be used for 64 bit arithmetics later too)
PPID, PGRP, RANDOM, USER_ID are now unsigned by default
was hard to type and hard to fix, galloc is also hard to fix, and some
things I learned will probably improve things more but make me use the
original form as base (especially for space savings)
* let sizeofN die though, remove even more casts
* optimise, polish
* regen Makefiles
* sprinkle a few /* CONSTCOND */ while here
• others: fix 6 (!) cases of non-constant or side-effect arguments
to the str_save() or str_nsave() macros, and other abuse of them
• also fix some cosmetics and other un-nice code while here
‣ 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
todo tomorrow:
• test case (compare with e.g. GNU bash)
• manpage
• version bump
sqchar is a bit ugly, but \/ must be preserved, as we don’t get wdencoded
strings later on in the process (eval.c CSUBST) and I didn’t want to have
an implementation like ${foo: 2: 3} this time
from netbsd via oksh
we had the NULL pointer deref already fixed
• avoid a bogus not-setting the return value of edit.c:x_file_glob()
introduced by the above change in oksh
• escape ? as well (but not ] because that’s wrong)
reminded by cbiere@netbsd via oksh
• Unsetting a non-existent variable is not an error. See
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/unset.html
report from Arkadiusz Miskiewicz; fixed based on
http://cvs.pld-linux.org diff via oksh but modified slightly
• Be more smart waiting for input for non-interactive scripts. Fix
based on a diff from debian: see their bug#296446 (via oksh)
modified slightly
this also fixes cnuke@’s “mksh busy loop” problem, for which I never
received a bug report, but the Debian bug page contains a set of two
scripts to reproduce this before (and no longer after) this commit
• some KNF
• bump version
namely Dr. Robert “Pfeffer” Arnold (in this case, in FreeWRT), make
a half-completed attempt at implementing ${foo:2:3} substring evals
(of course, negatives can't work right now and that the numbers are
in face expressions is something I only read later too – this is to
be revisited later, but it's already late)
don't depend on this behaviour yet though
if someone wants to add more regression tests, feel free to…
it's wrong to use strchr(s, 0) to look for the NUL byte, because in some
environments it apparently might return NULL
use new macro strnul = s+strlen(s) instead (not side-effect safe tho)
