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()...
