When printf is running builtin in a sh, global vars aren't reset to
0 between invocations. This affects "rval" which remembers state
from a previous %b \c and thereafter always exits after the first
format conversion, until we get a conversion that generates an
error (which resets the flag almost by accident)
printf %b abc\\c
abc (no \n)
printf %s%s hello world
hello (no \n, of course, no world ...)
printf %s%s hello world
hello
printf %s%s hello world
hello
printf %d hello
printf: hello: expected numeric value
0 (no \n)
printf %s%s hello world
helloworld (no \n, and we are back!)
This affects both /bin/sh and /bin/csh (and has for a very long time).
XXX pullup -8
POSIX requires that signed numbers (strings preceded by '+' or '-')
be allowed as inputs to all of the integer format conversions, including
those which treat the data as unsigned.
Hence we do not need a variant function whose only difference from its
companion is to reject strings starting with '-' - instead we use
the primary function (getintmax()) for everything and remove getuintmax().
Minor update to the man page to indicate that the arg to all of the
integer conversions (diouxX) must be an integer constant (with an
optional sign) and to make it blatantly clear that %o is octal and
%u is unsigned decimal (for some reason those weren't explicitly stated
unlike d i x and X). Delete "respectively", it is not needed (and does
not really apply).
XXX pullup -8
Avoid running off into oblivion when a format string,
or arg to a %b conversion ends in an unescaped backslash.
Patch from Leo slightly modified by me.
- 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...)
