with GNU groff – add some special handling to the BSD mdoc macros for it so
that the manual pages look good in both utf8 and ps (PDF) mode; also fix in
mksh wrong display of ` (groff: ‘), ' (groff: ’), \' (groff: ´), \- (groff:
U+2212 −), the en dash (nroff doesn’t have it, use the em dash there ONLY),
and ~ and ^ (groff: placed atop and size-reduced, for use as diacritics, in
manual pages bad since these are control characters there)
→ PDF manpage now has ‘’ “” and good-looking hyphens and mini and ~ and ^
→ utf8 manpage now has ‘’ “”, good-looking hyphens, cut’n’pasteable mini
→ nroff manpage still has '' "" instead of ugly `' ``'' or even `´
→ Debian lintian won’t complain any longer
me, which points out that “gnroff -Tutf8” mangles the ‘-’ characters
(hyphen/minus) from the input into ‘‐’ characters (hyphen), which does
not make sense in many cases and prevent copy’n’paste → fix
no change in nrcon output
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.
so that archite@midnightbsd won’t have to add evil kludges to oksh again if
they switch their ksh to mksh ☺
both “clear-screen” and “error” aren’t bound; default binding for ^L stays,
as usual, “redraw” (principle of least surprise); however GNU bash converts
also might want to put “bind ^L=clear-screen” into their ~/.mkshrc.
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…
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)
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
actually within a (the emacs) editing mode does not work at
all, whether forced or not, only if we leave the editing mode
(at end of input); probably due to it saving stuff from e.g.
x_cols into xx_cols, etc.
-> remove SIGWINCH handling(!)
-> TIOCGWINSZ is now executed at end of every input line
-> use 'ESC #' if you direly need to change line size
only if we got a SIGWINCH -> interactive use speed-up on the
slower boxen (slowness courtesy of otto@obsd)
* ^L (redraw line) now (always) checks window size; use this
instead if required while editing the prompt; changes to the
variables will still be propagated after the line is entered
"set +o emacs-usemeta" and "set -o vi-show8" which are always on now,
since we have proper internationalisation (i.e. utf-8) support, and
assume the user either has a 'C' locale and can't enter 8-bit chars,
his terminal is 8bit-transparent, or he has a 'UTF-8' locale.
twkm (from #ksh on freenode), that $RANDOM is always an unsigned
15-bit decimal integer.
(RANDOM << 15 | RANDOM) thusly yields 30 bit, which is still more
than 36^5, so we can use it on the baselife CD to speed things up
cought by crib in IRC, thanks
(our textproc/groff port is unaffected since it uses the MirOS implementation,
a BSD derived one with fixes, by default instead but can reproduce the defect
with -mgdoc instead of -mdoc as parametre)
