Otherwise:
./sh -c 'x=" "; for a in $x; do echo a${a}a; done'
is processed as a single empty parameter (instead of no parameters).
Should fix the breakage I introdiced in rev 1.75 and PR/34256 and PR/34254
the earlier ones) so that a separator is added before it when it is empty.
This wasn't needed before a recent change that chenged the behaviour of
trailing whitespace IFS characters.
Fixed PR/33472
from the end of output of commands inside $(...) substitutions.
If the program output is n*128+1 bytes long (ending in a \n) then the code
checks buf[-1] for another \n - looking an uninitialised stack.
On a big-endian system an integer of value 10 will satisfy this (unlikely
on little endian) and can happen depending on the last code path to use
a lot of stack!
This caused the problem with newvers.sh on sparc64 after ', 2005' was
added to the date list.
Fixed PR/28852
- ansification
- format of output of jobs command (etc)
- job identiers %+, %- etc
- $? and $(...)
- correct quoting of output of set, export -p and readonly -p
- differentiation between nornal and 'posix special' builtins
- correct behaviour (posix) for errors on builtins and special builtins
- builtin printf and kill
- set -o debug (if compiled with DEBUG)
- cd src obj (as ksh - too useful to do without)
- unset -e name, remove non-readonly variable from export list.
(so I could unset -e PS1 before running the test shell...)
the non-vfork case. Having said that, it would be nice if pipelines of
simple commands were vforked too. Right now they are not.
Explain that setpgid() might fail because we are doing it both in the
parent and the child case, because we don't know which one will come
first.
Suspending a pipeline prints %1 Suspended n times where n is the number
of processes, but that was there before. It is easy to fix, but I'll
leave the code alone for now.
Propagate isroot, throughout the eval process and maintain it properly.
Fixes sleep 10 | cat^C not exiting because sleep and cat ended up in
their own process groups, because wasroot was always true in the children.
involved in the `for' list, the list was recorded twice, leading to incorrect
argument expansion.
Introduce ifsfree() function that free's the IFS region list, GC'ing duplicated
code.
sleep
cmd='set `type "sleep"`; eval echo \$$#'
which=`eval $cmd`
echo $which
because the region did not get recorded at all, and it was interpreted as
a single word. I modified the code to keep track when the result of a
backquote expansion has been recorded to avoid recording it twice. I still
feel that this is not the right fix... More to come.
assignment. E.g.
echo ${foo:=`echo 1 2 3 4`}
prints:
1 2 3 1 2 3 4
because when the arquments are not quoted, the backquote result
gets recorded twice. The fix right now is to comment out the
record_region() call in expbackq(). I hope that it does not break
anything else.
