• 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 usage string for mknod builtin.
but don’t do a binary change as it doesn’t actually change anything
XXX fix all these usages anyway
XXX cd: cd: /home/tg/... - No such file or directory
XXX /bin/mksh: mknod: usage: mknod [-m mode] name [b | c] major minor
XXX /bin/mksh: mknod: mknod: No such file or directory
XXX etc. – but find out what POSuX demands ☹
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 ☺
which escapes $(…) content does not know if an imbedded ‘#’ is a comment
leader or something else like “16#foo”, “${#bla[*]}”, “${foo#bar}”, &c.
and the comment skip code does not know about nesting beforehand
⇒ document this problem in the place where it already documents that
the current code does not properly handle nested $($(…)) expressions
patches welcome
struct env (other structures defined have no "foreign type with pos-
sible alignment constraints" members) and take care of it while dea-
ling in a struct env instance
if ((flags & (1 | 2) == 0) || (flags & (1 | 2) == (1 | 2)))
to
if (!(flags & 1) ^ !(flags & 2))
which works because ! returns 1 or 0, making the ^ an ^^, and
because XOR survives NOTting its arguments
