and ensure that we break out of the loop after executing it.
With the previous code, because the re-executed command was added to the
history, it would think that it still had to execute it, leading to an infinite
loop.
The last thing which differs from ksh is that we get the "fc -s " command into
the history, but this is actually rather a feature in my humble opinion.
To test:
$ echo hello
$ fc -s ec
<infinite loop or correct behaviour>
- Use getpgrp() rather than getpgid(0).
(getpgrp() is already used elsewhere in this same file.)
- Use waitpid(-1, a, b) rather than wait3(a, b, NULL).
Fixes PR/30973 and applies the principle of least surprise.
Update documentation to match (including date).
(matches behaviour of pdksh - if not it's documentation)
when we try to set a trap on them it will not work. Also while I am here:
1. don't change the action status if the signal system call failed.
2. don't try to sigignore it if signal failed.
3. clear the signal mask in case our parent blocked it for us.
completion function.
Note that the libedit code will probably want fine-tuning!
While editing the man page, add a note that non-whitespace IFS chars are
terminators and can generate null arguments.
- IFS whitespace is now processes correctly,
- Trailing non-whitespace IFS characters are added to the last variable
iff a subsequent variable would have been assigned a non-null string.
Now passes the 'read' tests in http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/public/ifs.sh
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
compare the lengths and then use memcmp() in the search code.
Speeds up one of my scripts by a facter of 2.
Increase the size of the variable hash table.
Cuts down time for script to execute from 60 seconds to 10.
Move variable search into a new function to hide the implementation
from most of the code, new version is slightly smaller than old.
background process
This happens because we vfork, and then open a named pipe with O_RDONLY
and block in the child. We avoid this, by opening the file with O_NONBLOCK,
and then reset it if we are vforked. XXX: this is an ugly fix.
which was unnecessarily changed in revision 1.50 while fixing other bugs.
That is, exit the shell if the last command in a || or && compound statement
is not short-circuited, and exits with a false status. I.e., the following
will cause the shell to exit:
set -e
false || false
While this is not the prescribed behavior in SUSv3, it is what our man page
documents, and it is what all of the following implementations do:
NetBSD /bin/ksh (pdksh)
bash
zsh
Solaris 9 /bin/sh
Solaris 9 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
Solaris 9 /usr/bin/ksh
Tru64 /bin/sh
HP/UX 11 /bin/sh
The "standard" seems to be wrong in this instance.
Kill mksyntax.c - no longer possible to get the 'wrong sort of chars'.
/bin/sh now has no helper binaries.
syntax.c uses C99 initialisers, run time initialisation could be used
for systems where the compiler doesn't support them.
I've used some #defines to help make this possible - but writing the code
starts making it rather messy.
Use CHAR_MIN (from limits.h) to determine whether target char are signed
or unsigned - the syntax tables will not be indexed properly.
Rip out all the stuff from mksyntax.c that wrote syntax.h.
syntax.c can stiff be generated incorrectly...
Build mksyntax directly from mksyntax.c so that the -DTARGET_CHAR=xxx
is applied when it is build.
OTOH mksyntax is broken as it tries to determine properties of the
target system by running code on the build system.
* Don't bother prefixing commands with a line of ${_MKCMD}\
and instead rely upon "make -s". This is less intrusive on
all the Makefiles than the former. Idea from David Laight.
* Rename the variables use to print messages. The scheme now is:
_MKMSG_FOO Run _MKMSG 'foo'
_MKTARGET_FOO Run _MKMSG_FOO ${.TARGET}
From discussion with Alistair Crooks.
use strlcpy() and snprintf() in the host tools...
Should fix part of [toolchain/22504], and build problems on other
platforms that don't have strlcpy() or snprintf()...
side. Sometimes it was compared to int, which was -1 on EOF, and on
unsigned char machines UPEOF was (unsigned char)-1. This worked
by chance because isalpha((unsigned char)-1) returns false usually,
but it does not when the locale is invalid!
- 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...)

He says:
Ok the extra INTOFF is the one in exverror().
In almost all cases this doesn't matter because the longjmp()s
all end up in main() and the FORCEINTON call sorts it out
for the next command.
(There are a significant number of INTON/OFF mismatches through
the error paths...)
In any case the above failure can be 'fixed' by changing 2 (I think
they are both needed) INTON calls to FORCEINTON within evalcommand.
The following patch seems to work:
We should really look in the code and fix the INTON->INTOFF pairs.
effects, and add double to it, so that it aligns doubles correctly too. This
is just a workaround to fix the sparc64 problem where ALIGN() is now defined
in some include file to be 16 instead of 8. Thanks to martin for debugging this.
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.
