- 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.
- 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
false
foo=bar
echo $?
would print 1
Also fixed the long standing bug:
false
echo `echo $?`
would print 0
The exitstatus needs rethinking and rewriting. The trial and error method
is not very efficient
begin with a space, but contains one. Fixes PR bin/809.
#!/bin/sh
list="a b c "
echo "With ordinary IFS"
for i in $list;do
echo $i
done
IFS=":${IFS}"
echo "With changed IFS"
for i in $list;do
echo $i
done
Note that before the fix ":${IFS}" behaved differently than "${IFS}:".
