producing (( (when the cmd starts with a '(' as that as a reserved
sequence (according to posix) and some shells do treat it specially.
So, force a space after the enclosing '(' to avoid the problem.
For symmetry, put a space before the concluding ')' as well, though
there is nothing special about )). (from kre@)
use printf %s instead of echo, as there are embedded \ chars in
some of the strings, and some other (nameless) shells insist on
treating \ in the args to echo as something special... (from kre@)
that could be interpreted as something different. That is, for our
shell +4++3 is just (+4)+(+3) and works fine. But others treat ++
as the increment operator. Same for --. Sprinkle spaces to taste.

variable (with its current value set at 20160401) as discussed on
current-users and tech-userlevel. This also includes the necessary
support to implement it properly (particularly the unexportable
part) and adds options to the export command to support unexportable
variables. Also implement the "posix" option (no single letter
equivalent) which gets its default value from whether or not
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set in the environment when the shell starts
(but can be changed just like any other option using -o and +o on
the command line, or the set builtin command.) While there, fix
all uses of options so it is possible to have options that have a
short (one char) name, and no long name, just as it has been possible
to have options with a long name and no short name, though there
are currently none (with no long name). For now, the only use of
the posix option is to control whether ${ENV} is read at startup
by a non-interactive shell, so changing it with set is not usful
- that might change in the future. (from kre@)
when given without braces (ie: $2 etc). Only the first 9 shell
parameters ($1 .. $9) and the special parameter ($0) can be
referenced this way, $10 is ${1}0 not ${10}. Make it so.
This bug brought to notice by Sven Mascheck's web pages which
discuss (among other things) the history of this (and other ash
based) shells .. see http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/ (from kre@)
user is expected. With the previous commits to parser.c, we no
longer need to handle reading here documents in the (massive)
readtoken1() function. That allows its code to be simplified and
made easier to read and understand (several goto's goto goto heaven.
RIP) (from kre@)
a suggestion from him, the way the fix to PR bin/50993 was implemented
has changed a little. There are three steps involved in processing
a here document, reading it, parsing it, and then evaluating it
before applying it to the correct file descriptor for the command
to use. The third of those is not related to this problem, and
has not changed. The bug was caused by combining the first two
steps into one (and not doing it correctly - which would be hard
that way.) The fix is to split the first two stages into separate
events. The original fix moved the 2nd stage (parsing) to just
immediately before the 3rd stage (evaluation.) Jilles pointed out
some unwanted side effects from doing it that way, and suggested
moving the 2nd stage to immediately after the first. This commit
makes that change. The effect is to revert the changes to expand.c
and parser.h (which are no longer needed) and simplify slightly
the change to parser.c. (from kre@)
We don't have a tool that strips tools -- we have only a tool that
strips target programs. $TOOLDIR/bin/$PLATFORM-install supports -s
by invoking the target-stripping tool, which chokes if you try to use
it to strip tools on a sufficiently different cross build. So let's
just not strip the pcc tool -- it's tiny enough that I'm not worried
about its unstripped size!
for obscure corner cases like -pie -fPIE -static (used for
/usr/tests/lib/csu/h_initfini2 if building with MKPIE=yes).
While there also replace -fPIC with -fPIE for the PIE case, even if
it should be mostly equivalent.
uap is supposed to hold init's argv[], so it's 3 * sizeof(char *), the bug
was to copyout(..., sizeof(args)) which is an array of syscallargs, not argv
