starting with an ‘!’ exclamation mark at the beginning of a com-
mand (PS1 not PS2), shall have the same effect as the predefined
“r” alias, to be compatible with csh and GNU bash’s “!string” to
«Execute last used command starting with string» – documentation
and feature request provided by wbx@ (Waldemar Brodkorb)
• 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 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
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
pass "xerrok" status across the execution call stack to more closely
match what both POSIX and [18]ksh.1 already describe in regards to set
-e/errexit's behavior in determining when to exit from nonzero return
values.
specifically, the truth values tested as operands to &&' and ||', as
well as the resulting compound expression itself, along with the truth
value resulting from a negated command (i.e. a pipeline prefixed !'),
should not make the shell exit when -e is in effect.
issue reported by matthieu.

on Debian Lenny/amd64 (XXX need more verification; this
can be used for 64 bit arithmetics later too)
PPID, PGRP, RANDOM, USER_ID are now unsigned by default
was hard to type and hard to fix, galloc is also hard to fix, and some
things I learned will probably improve things more but make me use the
original form as base (especially for space savings)
* let sizeofN die though, remove even more casts
* optimise, polish
* regen Makefiles
* sprinkle a few /* CONSTCOND */ while here
allocator using malloc and free, with mmap malloc and omalloc in mind,
not counterfeiting its security measures such as guard pages, and having
some of our own, e.g. XOR random cookies, optional mprotect, etc.
zero cost (for we have arc4random())
“-sh” if -DMKSH_BINSHREDUCED was passed during compilation, for example
for Debian, but d̲e̲f̲i̲n̲i̲t̲i̲v̲e̲l̲y̲ n̲̲o̲̲t̲̲ for MirBSD™
• split up regression test to force this behaviour
• remove the gunk from our MirBSD™ startup scripts again
• mention arc4random.c changes on website, sync clog, warn packagers
and .data instead of another initialisation; this was prompted by a bug
in scan-build (the value can never be NULL, but it doesn’t realise it),
although this doesn’t fix it, but less stack usage is always good
‣ only if !MKSH_SMALL
‣ add appropriate regression test
• if FPOSIX is set, do not close fds > 2 on exec, Debian #499139
• add appropriate regression tests for keeping fds private or not
‣ macro afreechk() is superfluous
• get rid of macro afreechv() by re-doing the “don’t leak that much” code
• some KNF (mostly, whitespace and 80c) while here
* initialise the integers PPID, OPTIND, RANDOM, SECONDS, and TMOUT to base-10
* bring back PGRP as base-10 integer to the process group via getpgrp(2)
* initialise USER_ID as base-10 integer to the effective user id as retrieved
from geteuid(2) = $(id -u)
* use $USER_ID in dot.mkshrc instead of spawning an id(1) process
-> dot.mkshrc,v 1.34 now requires mksh R34
* convert more int to bool where appropriate
* remove dead code - getpgrp(2) cannot fail
* sync manual page to reality
* bump to mksh R34(beta) - feature freeze
XXX check if our_pgrp in jobs.c is still really needed, the setpgid call
XXX probably just makes us our own pgrp leader, and we might have to use
XXX and update kshpgrp accordingly - need feedback/help here but I think
XXX this simplification should be possible if I grok the code correctly.
etc/profile:
* adjust to $USER_ID changes in mksh (speed-up here, too)
mksh.hts:
* sync changelog
• apply diff from mirbsdksh-1.11:
#ifdef DUP2_BROKEN
/* Ultrix systems like to preserve the close-on-exec flag */
‣ XXX we do #ifdef __ultrix here (imake-style) instead of mirtoconfing it
(but does anyone know of any other OS with the same problem? plus we’d
see it as we now know the symptoms)
• remove ultrix Build.hs warn=' but might work…' in the hope it DOES
‣ I/O redirection seems broken:
$ (date; date >/dev/null; date) | wc -l
1 (expected: 2)
‣ other than that: working fine
‣ -YBSD (default) and -YSYSTEM_FIVE don’t work, just -YPOSIX, somehow
• Fix $(…) to `…` for OSF/1 V2.0 /bin/sh
‣ this compiler is FUBAR though:
$ cat >t.c
main() { return (foo()); }
$ cc t.c
ld:
Unresolved :
foo
$ echo $?
0
$ ls -l a.out
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mirbsd users 10835 Jul 21 17:12 a.out
‣ it seems to have ucode, but man is not installed
• new mirtoconf check: mkstemp(3)
• if !HAVE_MKSTEMP (Ultrix), use tempnam(3)
• only use printf(1) if it exists (it doesn’t on Ultrix)
• a few more signals
• add S_ISLNK if the OS doesn’t define it
• add strcasecmp(3) proto for Ultrix (it _is_ in <portability.h>, but
only for -YBSD I think)
• fgrep(1) on Ultrix doesn’t do “-e ① -e ②”
10x DEChengst:#UnixNL for giving access
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.
