‣ I was convinced by several that more magic is never the solution
• fix a comment: function cat already had precedence
• change cat loader to look for existence, FPATH included, before
ditching the builtin; note that in manpage
issue spotted by carstenh, could have been a documentation ambiguity issue
(as -N was designed to read and return exactly n bytes), but this resolves
it in a way both backwards-compatible and user-pleasing
separate the backslash+newline things out of the *.opt files,
logically not 100% clean, but better as it is not generated
content anyway (keeping the one-liners in there for now, even
though more consistent would be shifting them out as well)
• support NSIG_MAX from http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=741
and make a TODO for later to use sysconf(_SC_NSIG) at runtime
• bounds-check signals (e.g. no smaller than 1, but smaller than NSIG)
• align trap errorlevel with other shells
• make trap match what’s in POSIX and fixup the manpage
• refactor some code related to signals
• hide from kill builtin both EXIT and ERR pseudo-signals
• ord() new, From: Daniel Richard G. <skunk@iSKUNK.ORG>
‣ used in some places
• (c - '0') → ksh_numdig(c) # may take *x++ argument
• (c - 'A') → ksh_numuc(c) # may NOT take *x+= argument
‣ idem for ksh_numlc(c) and 'a'
‣ these need changing for EBCDIC
‣ add testsuite for this
• use macros more, they exist already often
• use digits_lc[foo] instead of ('0' + foo), especially for letters
• caught another ksh_eq case…
• also caught a maybe-UB overflow check, but we don’t have TIME_T_MAX ☹
handle unknown bases as ksh93 does: larger downgrade to 10
(although our max will stay 36, as ksh93 doesn’t have upper/lowecase)
and smaller downgrade for typeset -i, but not for arithmetics
• all: bump version to R50-current; add more comments; whitespace
• all: remove all mkssert(); we’ll do full re-runs of scan-build and,
hopefully, Coverity Scan/Prevent
• check.t: fix a testcase (sed could exit false, but we don’t care)
• eval.c: fix tilde_ok data type (only unsigned may shl constantly)
• exec.c: fix shebang buf array accesses to always go via uint8_t *
• permit interrupts during a write(2) loop in the cat builtin, too,
not just in the read(2) loop – fixes inability to kill a clogged
output cat
• kill the cat when smores finish
TODO: revisit this ⓐ in more depth, ⓑ for other functions, such as
“hd”, and ⓒ test on AOSP as well
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
use errorf() while nameref states were being changed (by almost completely
eliminating the global variable) and the readonly first array variable
bypass (typo/refactoro); also, whitespace, one int → bool, and add a
comment wrt. the parser rewrite talked about with igli during a fever ;)
Add a proper suspend builtin that saves/restores the tty and pgrp
as needed instead of an alias that just sends SIGSTOP. Login shells
may be suspended if they are not running in an orphan process group.
command; setting one still unsets the other at first)
• Change subst_exstat to be conformant unless -o sh is set and -o posix isn’t
• In lksh, make subst_exstat (newly) conformant if -o posix
• New MKSH_BINSHPOSIX to accompany MKSH_BINSHREDUCED
• Sync lksh manpage precisely
• correct order of built-in commands; use POSIX special versus “all others”
plus “keeps assignments” as distinction, no longer play POSIX regular vs.
others game; sync manpage
• fix LP#1156707: map (( internally to “let]” which is no valid function
name and so can’t be overridden but is unlikely to be used otherwhere
and not strictly permitted (by POSIX) anyway
• we do not need -Wno-overflow any more, either
• bump to R45
• mail.c was removed anyway
• we do not use “long long” in mksh, since it’s not in ANSI C89
instead, we probably need some 64-bit ops in the long run, but we can
use some host types (might want to use time_t for tv_sec, but we cannot
print that yet); might need to handle them in some generic manner…
