• IBM XL C: display version better (tested on V7.0 by cnuke@)
• do not 'IFS=: read nr name', Cygwin 1.7 dash fails it
• disable cd-pe, glob-range-3 on Cygwin (the former cannot
succeed because the mv fails, the latter fails from 1.7 on)
• mark heredoc-tmpfile-8 as need-pass: no
• apply __attribute__ only to a function prototype, not to
the body (even if static), since xlC fails that
• bump version to R40 (beta)
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
• only trigger deleting an alias in favour of a function for “()”, not
just the opening parenthesis: “stop( )” is not a function definition
(well, actually it seems to be, but… not according to POSIX, anyway)
• defer dropping the alias until the function is actually defined (õÕ)
• don’t leak memory parsing possible I/O redirection tokens
• get rid of volatile by using more const (also helps codegen, methinks)
• support empty here document markers (mksh extension)
• pimp the manpage
• ensure that bool/true/false are cpp macros, overriding any pre-defined
• document the requirement that tobool(x) must map any-type 'x' into bool
• document the requirement that a bool must only be true or false, and
that it (tobool() rather) must have an identity mapping to 'short'
• possibly fix ksh_func for/and fpFUNCTf – maybe spotted by cnuke@
a bit more with POSIX and the other shells
I considered http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=253 but the use
of bi_errorf() is interesting, especially as it’s often enough a
noreturn function, and funnily enough, 'cd -P /foo' returns 0 while
'chdir -P /foo' fails (so idk where to put -e)…
⇒ consider merging simplify_path()
• move funcs.c:c_cd() to misc.c
• make misc.c:make_path() static, c_cd() is its only user
⇒ mark as obsolete
• tweak misc.c:set_current_wd() to drop ksh_get_wd() argument
should be no code change, but the entire path stuff is a mess…
so expect actual implementation changes or even rewrites shortly
