- HAVE_GCC=5 is now the default (vs. HAVE_GCC=53 we've been using for
GCC 5.4 and GCC 5.5.)
- remove some more GCC 4.8 code. we don't support GCC 4 here.
- adjust set lists to gcc=5 from gcc=53.
add some basic HAVE_GCC=6 handling (totally unused so far.)
This removes a clash with well-known libc function tsearch(3) from POSIX.
This allows to build ksh against MSan.
The new name might not be perfect, but long term ksh should be switched to
the libc version.

No date (Dd) bump - there is no change of substance here, just (hopefully)
a clearer way of saying the same thing.
rawcpu of type int, is declared inside main(){} and it can be passed as
uninitialized to setpinfo().
The setpinfo() function has a switch checking the value of rawcpu:
if (!rawcpu)
pi[i].pcpu /= 1.0 - exp(ki[i].p_swtime * log_ccpu);
rawcpu is set to 1 with the command line argument "-C".
-C Change the way the CPU percentage is calculated by using a
"raw" CPU calculation that ignores "resident" time (this
normally has no effect).
Bug reproducible with an invocation: "ps u". It hides with "ps uC".
Initialize rawcpu by default to 0, before the getopt(3) machinery.

of uninit'd field also fix a couple more (still harmless) related
technical C usage bugs.
Explaining why these issues were harmless would take too long to include here.
For example, given $(( 08 + 1 )) (or similar) instead of reporting
"expecting end of expression" - the generic error for parse failed,
which happened as this was parsed as $(( 0 8 + 1 )) because the 8
could not be a part of an octal constant, and that expr makes no sense -
instead say "unexpected '8' (out of range) in numeric constant: 08"
which makes the cause of the error more obvious.
NFC for valid expressions, just the error message (and the way the
error is detected).
some other install media, mini-roots, etc.) It is unlikely that
such a shell will be used for much script debugging (and the old -x
still exists of course) and it adds a little bloat, so, zap...
The ancient unused (unrelated) xioctl() function is gone as well

output to the stderr which existed when the -X option was (last) enabled.
It also enables tracing by enabling -x (and when reset, +X, also resets
the 'x' flag (+x)). Note that it is still -x/+x which actually
enables/disables the trace output. Hence "apparent variant" - what -X
actually does (aside from setting -x) is just to lock the trace output,
rather than having it follow wherever stderr is later redirected.
to I32 P64 systems - keep nextc first, as that's used in macros,
and nleft next, as that's used (and both are updated) in the same macro,
which is used frequently, this increases the chance they're in the
same cache line (unchanged from before). Beyond that it matters less,
so just shuffle a bit to avoid internal padding when pointers are 64 bits.
Note that there are just 3 of these structs (currently), even if there was
to be a memory saving (there probably won't be, trailing padding will eat it)
it would be of the order of 12 or 24 bytes total, so all this really
just panders to my sense of rightness....
Note to anyone who might be tempted, please don't update the struct
initializers to use newer C forms - eventually sh is planned to become
a host tool, and a separable package, so it wants to remain able to be
compiled using older (though at least ansi) compilers that implement only
older C variants.
output includes a single quote (') then see if using double-quotes
to quote it is reasonable (if no chars that are magic in " also appear).
If so, and if the string is not entirely the ' character, then
use " quoting. This avoids some ugly looking results (occasionally).
Also, fix a bug introduced about 20 months ago where null strings
in xtrace output are dropped, instead of made explicit ('').
To observe this, before you get the fix: set -x; echo '' (or similar.)
Move a comment from the wrong place to the right place.
the same order that option flags with a similar property are sorted.
This corresponds with the change made to the sort order of the short
names made in the previous update (1.4).
Right now, this change makes no difference at all, as there are no
long option names that differ only in char case (yet.)
Correct a (relatively harmless) use after free in prompt expansion
processing [detected by asan.]
Relatively harmless: as (while incorrect) the way the data is (was)
used more or less guaranteed that the buffer contents would be
unaltered until well after they are (were) no longer wanted (this
is the expanded prompt string, it is just output (or copied into
libedit internal storage) and forgotten.
This should make no visible difference to anyone (not using asan or
similar.)

Note: var is unset if the status returned from wait came from wait
itself rather than from some job exiting (so it is now possible to
tell whether 127 means "no such job" or "job did exit(127)", and
whether $? > 128 means "wait was interrupted" or "job was killed

process group (-g), the process leader pid (-p) ($! if the job was &'d)
and the job identifier (-j) (the %n that refers to the job) in addition to
(default) the list of all pids in the job (which it has always done).
No change to the (single) "job" arg, which is a specifier of the job:
the process leader pid, or one of the % forms, and defaults to %% (aka %+).
(This is all now documented in sh(1))
Also document the jobs command properly (no change to the command, just
document what it actually is.)
And while here, a whole new section in sh(1) "Job Control". It probably
needs better wording, but this is (perhaps) better than the nothing that
was there before.
Don't delete jobs from the jobs table merely because they finished,
if they are not the job we are waiting upon. (bin/52640 part 1)
In a sub-shell environment, don't allow wait to find jobs from the
parent shell that had already exited (before the sub-shell was
created) and return status for them as if they are our children.
(bin/52640 part 2)
Don't have the "jobs" command also be an implicit "wait" command
in non-interactive shells. (bin/52641)
Use WCONTINUED (when it exists) so we can report on stopped jobs that
"mysteriously" move back to running state without the user issuing
a "bg" command (eg: kill -CONT <pid>) Previously they would keep
being reported as stopped until they exited.
When a job is detected as having changed status just as we're
issuing a "jobs" command (i.e.: the change occurred between the last
prompt and the jobs command being entered) don't report it twice,
once from the status change, and then again in the jobs command
output. Once is enough (keep the jobs output, suppress the other).
Apply some sanity to the way jobs_invalid is processed - ignore it
in getjob() instead of just ignoring it most of the time there, and
instead always check it before calling getjob() in situations where
we can handle only children of the current shell. This allows the
(totally broken) save/clear/restore of jobs_invalid in jobscmd() to
be done away with (previously an error while in the clear state would
have left jobs_invalid incorrectly cleared - shouldn't have mattered
since jobs_invalid => subshell => error causes exit, but better to be safe).
Add/improve the DEBUG more tracing.

code duplication, and reducing the size of /bin/sh by a trivial amount.
NFCI.
This is being done now as there are two other changes forthcoming, both
of which benefit - one would result in even more code duplication without
this, the other might need to alter how this is done, and doing it after this
means there's just one place to change (if required).
actually work (but just happen to, today, and in some cases, even
that trusts to some luck.)
It has been recently pointed out to me that the man page (ie: this
file) doesn't give any real guidance to what is really acceptable,
and what is not.
The CAVEATS section does note that the grammar is ambiguous, but then
just says that test(1) implements what POSIX requires, and refers
readers to the relevant section of the POSIX standard for more details.
That is probably asking too much of the average reader...
So, add some extra information in the CAVEATS with what is defined to work,
and what should be avoided. Not all of the POSIX rules are here, but this
might hopefully help script authors avoid some of the pitfalls.
1. A serious bug introduced 3 1/2 months ago (approx) (rev 1.116) which
broke all but the simple cases of ~ expansions is fixed (amazingly,
given the magnitude of this problem, no-one noticed!)
2. An ancient bug (probably from when ~ expansion was first addedin 1994, and
certainly is in NetBSD-6 vintage shells) where ${UnSeT:-~} (and similar)
does not expand the ~ is fixed (note that ${UnSeT:-~/} does expand,
this should give a clue to the cause of the problem.
3. A fix/change to make the effects of ~ expansions on ${UnSeT:=whatever}
identical to those in UnSeT=whatever In particular, with HOME=/foo
${UnSeT:=~:~} now assigns, and expands to, /foo:/foo rather than ~:~
just as VAR=~:~ assigns /foo:/foo to VAR. Note this is even after the
previous fix (ie: appending a '/' would not change the results here.)
It is hard to call this one a bug fix for certain (though I believe it is)
as many other shells also produce different results for the ${V:=...}
expansions than they do for V=... (though not all the same as we did).
POSIX is not clear about this, expanding ~ after : in VAR=whatever
assignments is clear, whether ${U:=whatever} assignments should be
treated the same way is not stated, one way or the other.
4. Change to make ':' terminate the user name in a ~ expansion in all cases,
not only in assignments. This makes sense, as ':' is one character that
cannot occur in user names, no matter how otherwise weird they become.
bash (incl in posix mode) ksh93 and bosh all act this way, whereas most
other shells (and POSIX) do not. Because this is clearly an extension
to POSIX, do this one only when not in posix mode (not set -o posix).
causes a core dump in some exotic circumstances (when restoring local
variables when a function returns). ("build.sh makewrapper" exposed it.)
This was introduced in 1.63 - not as part of the substance of that
change (addition) but as an unrelated "must be the right thing to do"
cleanup, which wasn't...
This is a legacy interface from 4.4BSD, and it was
introduced to overcome shortcomings of ptrace(2) at that time, which are
no longer relevant (performance). Today /proc/#/ctl offers a narrow
subset of ptrace(2) commands and is not applicable for modern
applications use beyond simplistic tracing scenarios.
This removal will simplify kernel internals. Users will still be able to
use all the other /proc files.
This change won't affect other procfs files neither Linux compat
features within mount_procfs(8). /proc/#/ctl isn't available on Linux.
Remove:
- /proc/#/ctl from mount_procfs(8)
- P_FSTRACE note from the documentation of ps(1)
- /proc/#/ctl and filesystem tracing documentation from mount_procfs(8)
- KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_PROCFS_CTL documentation from kauth(9)
- source code file miscfs/procfs/procfs_ctl.c
- PFSctl and procfs_doctl() from sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs.h
- KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_PROCFS_CTL from sys/sys/kauth.h
- PSL_FSTRACE (0x00010000) from sys/sys/proc.h
- P_FSTRACE (0x00010000) from sys/sys/sysctl.h
Reduce code complexity after removal of this functionality.
Update TODO.ptrace accordingly: remove two entries about /proc tracing.
Do not keep legacy notes as comments in the headers about removed
PSL_FSTRACE / P_FSTRACE, as this interface had little number of users
(close or equal to zero).
Proposed on tech-kern@.
All filesystem tracing utility users are encouraged to switch to ptrace(2).

Implementation largely obtained from FreeBSD, with adaptations to meet the
needs and style of this sh, some updates to agree with the current POSIX spec,
and a few other minor changes.
The POSIX spec for this ( http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249 )
[see note 2809 for the current proposed text] is yet to be approved,
so might change. It currently leaves several aspects as unspecified,
this implementation handles those as:
Where more than 2 hex digits follow \x this implementation processes the
first two as hex, the following characters are processed as if the \x
sequence was not present. The value obtained from a \nnn octal sequence
is truncated to the low 8 bits (if a bigger value is written, eg: \456.)
Invalid escape sequences are errors. Invalid \u (or \U) code points are
errors if known to be invalid, otherwise can generate a '?' character.
Where any escape sequence generates nul ('\0') that char, and the rest of
the $'...' string is discarded, but anything remaining in the word is
processed, ie: aaa$'bbb\0ccc'ddd produces the same as aaa'bbb'ddd.
Differences from FreeBSD:
FreeBSD allows only exactly 4 or 8 hex digits for \u and \U (as does C,
but the current sh proposal differs.) reeBSD also continues consuming
as many hex digits as exist after \x (permitted by the spec, but insane),
and reject \u0000 as invalid). Some of this is possibly because that
their implementation is based upon an earlier proposal, perhaps note 590 -
though that has been updated several times.
Differences from the current POSIX proposal:
We currently always generate UTF-8 for the \u & \U escapes. We should
generate the equivalent character from the current locale's character set
(and UTF8 only if that is what the current locale uses.)
If anyone would like to correct that, go ahead.
We (and FreeBSD) generate (X & 0x1F) for \cX escapes where we should generate
the appropriate control character (SOH for \cA for example) with whatever
value that has in the current character set. Apart from EBCDIC, which
we do not support, I've never seen a case where they differ, so ...
