• functions called by mksh’s grouping memory allocator
• functions called by mksh code itself
the latter may be changed to call the internal grouping allocator,
if a porter so desires (but if this were recommended, the code in
question would already do so, so…)
• PIPESTATUS now supported (like bash 2) whose last member
may actually differ from $? since the latter may not be the
result of a pipeline partial command
• add regression tests, documentation, etc.
• 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
a mirtoconf check, would’ve been a real problem on an LP64 platform
• sh.h: work around a bad interaction between -Wformat on gcc and manual
string pooling for T_synerr, which is used in place of a format string
in some places
– 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
