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
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)…
① currently: ((cond) ? true : false) but (!!(cond)) and casting to bool,
the latter only if stdbool.h, would also work – which performs best on
(and across) all supported systems?
• in interactive mode, always look up {LC_{ALL,CTYPE},LANG} environment
variables if setlocale/nl_langinfo(CODESET) doesn’t suffice
• add the ability to call any builtin (some don't make sense or wouldn't
work) directly by analysing argv[0]
• for direct builtin calls, the {LC_{ALL,CTYPE},LANG} environment
variables determine utf8-mode, even if MKSH_ASSUME_UTF8 was set
• when called as builtin, echo behaves POSIXish
• add domainname as alias for true on MirBSD only, to be able to link it
• sync mksh Makefiles with Build.sh output
• adjust manpage wrt release plans
• link some things to mksh now that we have callable builtins:
bin/echo bin/kill bin/pwd bin/sleep (exact matches)
bin/test bin/[ (were scripts before)
bin/domainname=usr/bin/true usr/bin/false (move to /bin/ now)
• drop linked utilities and, except for echo and kill, their manpages
• adjust instbin and link a few more there as well
– possible integer overflows in memory allocation, mostly
‣ multiplication: all are checked now
‣ addition: reviewed them, most were “proven” or guessed to be
“almost” impossible to run over (e.g. when we have a string
whose length is taken it is assumed that the length will be
more than only a few bytes below SIZE_MAX, since code and
stack have to fit); some are checked now (e.g. when one of
the summands is an off_t); most of the unchecked ones are
annotated now
⇒ cost (MirBSD/i386 static): +76 .text
⇒ cost (Debian sid/i386): +779 .text -4 .data
– on Linux targets, setuid() setresuid() setresgid() can fail
with EAGAIN; check for that and, if so, warn once and retry
infinitely (other targets to be added later once we know that
they are “insane”)
⇒ cost (Debian sid/i386): +192 .text (includes .rodata)
• setmode.c: Do overflow checking for realloc() too; switch back
from calloc() to a checked malloc() for simplification while there
• define -DIN_MKSH and let setmode.c look a tad nicer while here
we don’t get SIGWINCH when the window size changes during the runtime of
that, so, the signal is only usable reliably during editing in the shell
and we re-check the window size before each interactive edit line again
• deactivate %a and %A since our libc doesn’t have it
• rewrite the mksh integration code to use shf instead of stdio, removing
floating point support always in the process, as shf doesn’t support it
⇒ saves 11114 (6706 text, 168 data, 4240 bss) with dietlibc on Debian
• fix -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wstrict-aliasing=2 for gcc (Debian 4.4.4-7)
• fix these and -Wc++-compat for gcc version 4.6.0 20100711 (experimental)
[trunk revision 162057] (Debian 20100711-1) except:
– a few enum warnings that relate to eglibc’s {g,s}etrlimit() functions
taking an enum instead of an int because they’re too stupid to adhere
to POSIX interfaces they design by themselves
– all “request for implicit conversion” involving a "void *" on one side
• tweak the manual page somewhat more
of foo[0] (but not its attributes), and the rest of the array, so that
later “set +A foo bar” will set foo[0]=bar but retain the attributes.
This is important, because, in the future, arrays will have different
attributes per element, instead of all the same (which, actually, is
not entirely true right now either, since “unset foo[0]” will not mo-
dify the attributes of a foo[1] existing at that point in time), where
foo[$newkey] will inherit from foo[0], but typeset foo will only affect
foo[0] no longer foo[*] in the future. (The rules about typeset=local
will still apply, as they affect creation of variables in a scope.)
which, in its latest sid incarnation, even received mksh's ability
to produce ${!foo[*]} array keys, wow!)
* plug a memory leak while here (ATEMP only, but still)
I read, IIRC in the Cederqvist, that 'cvs tag' sets a sticky tag onto
the cwd… it doesn’t, apparently. (I actually like it better this way,
but one needs to know!)
• use a combination of the one-at-a-time hash and an LCG for handling
the $RANDOM special if !HAVE_ARC4RANDOM instead of rand(3)/srand(3)
and get rid of time(3) usage to reduce import footprint
• raise entropy state (mostly in the !HAVE_ARC4RANDOM case though…)
• simplify handling of the $RANDOM_SPECIAL generally
• tweak hash() to save a temp var for non-optimising compilers
• some int → mksh_ari_t and other type fixes
• general tweaking of code and comments
call it only if $RANDOM is indeed set (although pool extension would be a
possibility we do have arc4random_atexit which does it nicely too)
• avoid calling setspec for int→str conversion just before execve()
to it are now either arc4random or rand/srand, but srand retains the old
state; set +o arc4random is no longer possible, but if it's there we use
arc4random(3), if not, we use rand(3) for $RANDOM reads; optimise special
variable handling too and fix a few consts and other minor things
some GNU bash extensions (suggested by cnuke@) and bind macros
* make the random cache more efficient (and the code potentially
smaller, although we have a new implementation of the oaat hash
function, alongside the old one, now) and pushb only if needed
(i.e. state has changed or user has set $RANDOM, but not onfork)
rate-limit calls to CryptGenRandom to every 2‥4 minutes, if the last
call was successful, and operate with hash() on rnd_cache[], so that
it is mixed in a better way
it with the array index; var.c says that
│ 1244 /* The table entry is always [0] */
so that we can have a special flag and a union which stores hval for
the table index, the array index otherwise (coïncidentally *hint hint*
they have the same size)
return information needed to do a real ktremove instead of the pseudo
ktdelete operation which merely unsets the DEFINED flag to mark it as
eligible for texpand garbage collection (even worse, !DEFINED entries
are still counted)
much better avalanche and no known funnels
• improve comments
• fix some types (uint32_t for hash, size_t for sizes)
• optimise ktsort()
no functional change, I think
