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...)

He says:
Ok the extra INTOFF is the one in exverror().
In almost all cases this doesn't matter because the longjmp()s
all end up in main() and the FORCEINTON call sorts it out
for the next command.
(There are a significant number of INTON/OFF mismatches through
the error paths...)
In any case the above failure can be 'fixed' by changing 2 (I think
they are both needed) INTON calls to FORCEINTON within evalcommand.
The following patch seems to work:
We should really look in the code and fix the INTON->INTOFF pairs.
effects, and add double to it, so that it aligns doubles correctly too. This
is just a workaround to fix the sparc64 problem where ALIGN() is now defined
in some include file to be 16 instead of 8. Thanks to martin for debugging this.
the non-vfork case. Having said that, it would be nice if pipelines of
simple commands were vforked too. Right now they are not.
Explain that setpgid() might fail because we are doing it both in the
parent and the child case, because we don't know which one will come
first.
Suspending a pipeline prints %1 Suspended n times where n is the number
of processes, but that was there before. It is easy to fix, but I'll
leave the code alone for now.
Propagate isroot, throughout the eval process and maintain it properly.
Fixes sleep 10 | cat^C not exiting because sleep and cat ended up in
their own process groups, because wasroot was always true in the children.
