The routine producing the "$-" expansion failed to skip options for which there is no option letter, but only a long-form name. In dash, 'nolog' and 'debug' are currently the only two such options.

What basically happens is that you can't see the > command output if you set the "vi" or "emacs" options. That's not quite what happens: the here-document contents got lost, so there is no command output to see. Nice find. The problem is that getprompt() is implicitly called by el_gets(). This messes with the memory used by the parser to store the here-document's contents. In the non-emacs/vi case, the prompt is explicitly written by setprompt(), which wraps the getprompt() call in a pushstackmark()/popstackmark() pair to restore the state so that parsing can continue. But when getprompt() is called by el_gets(), it knows nothing about this. The whole call to el_gets() can be surrounded by another pushstackmark()/popstackmark() pair to solve the problem, as attached.

* builtin: Fix handling of trailing IFS white spacesHerbert Xu2016-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The read built-in does not handle trailing IFS white spaces in the right way, when there are more fields than variables. Part of the problem is that this case is handled outside of ifsbreakup. Harald van Dijk wrote a patch to fix this by moving the magic into ifsbreakup itself. This patch further reorganises the ifsbreakup loop by having only one loop over the whole string.

While the fix has been applied and does make dash handle empty files properly, your test doesn't use an empty file, it uses a file containing a single blank line. Unfortunately, the single blank line gets parsed by dash as a null command, null commands don't (and shouldn't) reset the exit status, and the fix you link to doesn't handle this because it sees a command has been executed and saves the exit status after executing that command as the exit status to be used by ".". I think the easiest way to fix this is to prevent null commands from affecting status in cmdloop, as attached. An alternative could be to change the outer if condition to exclude n == NULL, but I didn't do that because the change of job_warning and clearing of numeof make sense to me even for null commands. Besides, when debug tracing is enabled, null commands have a visible effect that should remain. Note that this fixes the problem with . but the same problem can be present in other locations. For example, false eval " " && echo OK || echo Fail used to print Fail, and needed the same modification in the evalstring function to make that print OK (included in the attached patch). There may be other similar bugs lurking. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* builtin: Clear LC_ALL in mkbuiltinsFredrik Fornwall2015-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In mkbuiltins LC_COLLATE is set, but since "The value of the LC_ALL environment variable has precedence over any of the other environment variables starting with LC_" (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xbd/envvar.html), this has no effect when LC_ALL is set. This breaks when having e.g. LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 during make, which causes the test case dash -c : to fail, probably due to broken ordering in builtins.c. The patch corrects that by clearing LC_ALL.

* [BUILTIN] Fix "test -x" as root on FreeBSD 8Jonathan Nieder2014-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX.1-2008 §4.4 "File Access Permission" sayeth: If execute permission is requested, access shall be granted if execute permission is granted to at least one user by the file permission bits or by an alternate access control mechanism; otherwise, access shall be denied. For historical reasons, POSIX unfortunately also allows access() and faccessat() to return success for X_OK if the current process is privileged, even when the above condition is not fulfilled and actual execution would fail. On the affected platforms, "test -x <path>" as root started returning true on nonexecutable files when dash switched from its own emulation to the true faccessat in v0.5.7~54 (2010-04-02). Work around this by checking the permissions bits when mode == X_OK and geteuid() == 0 on such platforms. Unfortunately the behavior seems to vary from one kernel version to another, so we cannot just check the behavior at compile time and rely on that. A survey of some affected kernels: - NetBSD's kernel moved to the sane semantics in 1997 - OpenBSD's kernel made the same change in version 4.4, three years ago - FreeBSD 9's kernel fixes this but hasn't been released yet It seems safe to only apply the workaround on systems using the FreeBSD kernel for now, and to push for standardization on the expected access()/faccessat() semantics so we can drop the workaround altogether in a few years. To try it on other platforms, use "./configure --enable-test-workaround".

Che vita intensa!" (Tonino Carotone) This patch fixes handling of embedded NULs using an approach similar to the one taken by NetBSD. In particular, we first determine the length of the output string, and then use a sequence of Xs of the same length as input to the underlying C printf to determine the amount of leading and trailing padding. Finally we replace the Xs with the actual string before writing it out. In order to print out the temporary string containing Xs and padding, a new helper xasprintf is added. Unlike asprintf though, our xasprintf prints to the ash stack rather than using straight malloc memory. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [BUILTIN] Add printf support for format string a, A, and FHerbert Xu2014-10-27
| | | | | | | | This patch adds the format string characters a, A and F to the supported set of the built-in printf command. They're already supported by the underlying printf function. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [CD] support drive letters on CygwinEric Blake2014-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Cygwin platform supports DOS style drive-letter paths such as "C:\\dir", even though the preferred form is a POSIX-style "/cygdrive/c/dir". This can be seen by doing things such as chdir("c:") (which succeeds) followed by getcwd(NULL, 0) (which returns the normalized "/cygdrive/c"). However, dash was trying to perform local manipulations on the argument to 'cd' prior to calling into libc, in order to update the state of $PWD and friends; these manipulations were assuming that the user meant to change to a relative subdirectory of the current location, as in './c:', instead of honoring the drive letter. None of the other dash builtins take a filename and manipulate it to affect shell state (some, like 'test', take a file name, but as stat("c:") works just fine, there is no need to normalize). This patch has no impact outside of cygwin; on cygwin, it takes advantage of a native function call to canonicalize any incoming name into preferred form before updating shell state.

* [EXPAND] Optimise nulonly away and just use quoted as beforeHerbert Xu2014-10-08
| | | | | | | | This patch makes a small optimisation by using the same value for quoted between evalvar and varvalue by eliminating nulonly and passing along quoted instead. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
