side. Sometimes it was compared to int, which was -1 on EOF, and on
unsigned char machines UPEOF was (unsigned char)-1. This worked
by chance because isalpha((unsigned char)-1) returns false usually,
but it does not when the locale is invalid!
- ansification
- format of output of jobs command (etc)
- job identiers %+, %- etc
- $? and $(...)
- correct quoting of output of set, export -p and readonly -p
- differentiation between nornal and 'posix special' builtins
- correct behaviour (posix) for errors on builtins and special builtins
- builtin printf and kill
- set -o debug (if compiled with DEBUG)
- cd src obj (as ksh - too useful to do without)
- unset -e name, remove non-readonly variable from export list.
(so I could unset -e PS1 before running the test shell...)
the syntax maps to determine the beginning and end quotes (kill
CENDQUOTE). Handle single quotes opening and closing via checking
the current syntax map. Keep a bitmap of doublequote state one bit
per variable nesting level. For the first 32 nested double quotes,
we don't need any additional memory, but for more we allocate
dynamically.
unsigned character machines. So that people don't have to reverse engineer
this again:
mksyntax detects if characters are signed or not and builts a syntax
table that has a base of 129 for signed characters or 1 for unsigned
characters. This is so the largest negative signed char [-128] + the
base == 1. 0 is special and means end of file in both cases. PEOF
is -1 for the unsigned character case and -129 for the signed
character case, so that syntax[PEOF + base] == syntax[0] == CEOF
So PEOF has to be -1, but it is explicitly compared with
unsigned characters on machines where characters are unsigned.
The quick fix is to define UPEOF the (unsigned char) version of PEOF
and use that. A better fix is to always use unsigned characters
when referencing symbol table entries, but that would require
extensive changes to the shell. So to summarize
syntax[0] == CEOF, base + PEOF == 0
unsigned signed
base 1 129
PEOF -1 -129
