function (which nobody was able to explain): it's critical to allowing a
complex command run from an interactive shell to be terminated. So, reinstate
it and fix it correctly. See the comment if you really want the gory details.
leading to unexpected behaviour. Disable the no-fork optimization for now.
We need to revisit this and keep enough state around to recover from such
changes.
even if the specified file is not in the PATH.
This change enforces security and makes it conform to POSIX.
Closes PR #6794.
I thought Christos committed this but not appeared yet. :)
The setstackmark()/popstackmark() pair in dotcmd(), used for freeing
stack storage possibly allocated by find_dot_file(), is redundant for now
since dotcmd() is surrounded by another pair in evalcommand().
This redundancy, however, may help future modifications
(suggested by Christos).
The problem was that system calls got restarted after a signal,
instead of returning EINTR. Thus the read builtin, had no way to
know that a signal occured that could change the course of execution.
Since the code has sprinkled checks for EINTR all over the place,
it is supposed to work properly with non restartable syscalls.
The fix is to use siginterrupt(signo, 1), before setting a signal
handler, to make sure that system calls don't get restarted.
Rewrite man page in mandoc format rather than nasty man format.
Fix a ton of parsing errors, and generate proper .Xr's.
document all known environment variables.
suggest ksh rather than bash.
The last two fix PR #1966. Wheee!
Somebody with access to the POSIX spec needs to go in here, and document
our adherence, or lack thereof.
such as sh -c 'echo `echo foo`' .
The memory allocated with ckmalloc() at
parser.c:1349:readtoken1() (search for "done:" label)
was never freed.
I changed this to use 'string stack' framework of Ash.
Note that a string on string stack is properly freed on
exception and end of command parsing, and no explicit free
or signal handlings required.
See TOUR for an overview, and memalloc.[ch] for details
of string stack.
and must be freed to avoid memory leaks if called repeatedly.
The leaks occured on symbolic umask command, such as "umask go-w",
which is undocumented.
