twkm (from #ksh on freenode), that $RANDOM is always an unsigned
15-bit decimal integer.
(RANDOM << 15 | RANDOM) thusly yields 30 bit, which is still more
than 36^5, so we can use it on the baselife CD to speed things up
cought by crib in IRC, thanks
(our textproc/groff port is unaffected since it uses the MirOS implementation,
a BSD derived one with fixes, by default instead but can reproduce the defect
with -mgdoc instead of -mdoc as parametre)
* a mksh -> an mksh
While here:
* fix list of shells that don't match . and .. with .* (pdksh went
missing in transit)
* Try to make fit on 39 pages by shortening a few
lines of redundant commentary about non-mksh books
* AT&T -> .At
* integrate compat.h, version.h into sh.h (dependency trick didn't work anyway)
* mention #ksh in mksh(1) since the founder (twkm) said it's on topic too
(don't remove mention of #mksh despite it's usually empty because of control)
not to stuff, even if TIOCSTI is available
* it's transpose-chars not transpose
bug spotted by hondza who wondered that on ^T the line repeats itself forever
to keys with a trailing tilde (after prefix + control char); the
function is then invoked after prefices, control char and one more
character X are entered; if X is not a tilde, it is ungetc(3)d
* mksh.1: rework prompt ($PS1) section, simplify example,
point to packaged dot.mkshrc example
* mksh.1: fix description of 'redraw' regarding redrawal
of prompts longer than one screen line
* all: bump version/date
(yeah, that's what you get from developing with a
16-bit MS-DOS(R) executable of your favourite text editor)
* lex.c, mksh.1: do not print the delimiting character for
not-to-be-counted character sequences (i.e. ANSI escapes)
in prompts any more, mostly because ASCII 01h is printable
on both Interix and Cygwin and I'm lazy
(this also fixes prompt width counting if a printable character
such as 'x' is used as delimiting character)
* lex.c: through printing the prompt character by character,
also print the delimited sequences if skipping, fixes some
prompt redrawal not honouring colours stuff while not totally
redrawing the entire prompt
* add another ksh book, referenced from amazon
* fix reference mdoc code
* add page count for the books
* fix old 10-digit ISBNs
* add new 13-digit ISBNs
* add myself as current maintainer/developer
* add miros-discuss eMail address for bug reports
* note that no book documents mksh
but sync RCS IDs for easier future adaption:
* Simplify savefd() by removing the "noclose" flag and make noclose
behavior the default. Almost all uses of savefd() are followed
by an implicit or explicit close.
* fix typos
* might as well make ksh_getopt() match real getopt(), ie. get rid of that
stupid EOF concept that was never true. adobriyan@gmail
* use SEEK_* for lseek()
* fix lint comments, no functional changes
* remove excessive optimization; from adobriyan@gmail
* only santa checks things twice; from adobriyan@gmail
* Interpret zero-filled numbers as decimal; PR 4213; from Alexey Dobriyan
have been read, for non-priviledgued shells only. If $ENV is
set, ~/.mkshrc is ignored (even if the file pointed to by $ENV
does not exist in the first place).
Feature requested by Jari Aalto for portable mksh because some
operating systems' vendors do not allow touching the profile.
Initial diff and manual page addition by Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>
Code changes and manual page correctness by me.
important for the signedness of the target, to enable using
high-bit7 characters on the command line (eg. in UTF-8 locales)
* make emacs-usemeta and vi-show8 equivalent and document that
in the manual page (i.e. beware if you're in a latin1 locale)
* do not reference SUSv3 (helps GNU groff), write \&" out instead
according to SUSv3 and other modern shells (POSIX allows both).
Idea for the patch (add another lex state) from OpenBSD, but the
implementation differs slightly (and is better in quality).
Also add two testcases (/bin/sh passes both, old mksh only one),
and document the change in the manual page. Sync RCS IDs with OBSD.
but write a good chunk of that code myself (better structured, better error
handling, more gotos, less function calls, int -> bool)
passes all tests on mirbsd; this will become mksh R25 once tested on other
supported OSes
