cmdenviron is pointing to varlist.list; varlist gets reset everytime
you enter evalcommand, but cmdenviron does not. The wonders of global
variables...
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
- treat $0 specially since it is not in shellparams
- check the number of parameters instead of walking
the parameters array to avoid checking against the
null terminated element.
set -- ""; echo ${1:-wwww} works.
- when expanding arithmetic, discard previous ifs recorded regions, since we
are doing our own scanning. x=ab; echo $((${#x}+1)) now works.
- in ${var#word} fix two bugs:
* if there was an exact match, there was an off-by-one bug in the
comparison of the words. x=abcd; echo ${x#abcd}
* if there was no match, the stack region was not adjusted and the rest
of the word was getting written in the wrong place. x=123; echo ${x#abc}X
shell's idea of the current working directory match reality when
symlinks (or anything else we can't stat) are traversed with the
cd command. However, this does not print out the cwd after cd
traverses symlinks, as it used to, though the capability is still
there should one want to use it.
- the 3 argument version of getopts would not reset properly
- OPTARG did not get cleared after a non argument option was found
- OPTIND was not set properly after a non argument option.
