* eval: Report I/O error on stdoutGerrit Pape2018-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ENOSPC as a result of an echo builting failing gives no diagnostic. Just as other shells, dash sets $? to 1, but aside from terminating the script, this does not inform the user what the problem is: zsh: % echo foo > /dev/full echo: write error: no space left on device bash: $ echo foo > /dev/full bash: echo: write error: No space left on device dash: $ echo foo > /dev/full [nothing] Print an error to stderr like the other shells.

* expand: Ensure result is escaped in cvtnumHerbert Xu2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | The minus sign generated from arithmetic expansion is currently unquoted which causes anomalies when the result is used in where the quoting matters. This patch fixes it by explicitly calling memtodest on the result in cvtnum. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* memalloc: Avoid looping in growstacktoHerbert Xu2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | Currently growstackto will repeatedly call growstackblock until the requisite size is obtained. This is wasteful. This patch changes growstackblock to take a minimum size instead. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* eval: Always set localvar_stopHerbert Xu2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | The variable localvar_stop is set iff vlocal is true. gcc doesn't get this so we get a spurious warning. This patch fixes this by always calling pushlocalvars with vlocal and making it only actually do the push if vlocal is non-zero. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* expand: Do not reprocess data when expanding wordsHerbert Xu2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently various paths will reprocess data when performing word expansion. For example, expari will skip backwards looking for the start of the arithmetic expansion, while evalvar will skip unexpanded words manually. This is cumbersome and error-prone. This patch fixes this by making word expansions proceed in a linear fashion. This means changing argstr and the various expansion functions such as expari and subevalvar to return the next character to be expanded. This is inspired by similar code from FreeBSD. However, we take things one step further and completely remove the manual word skipping in evalvar. This is accomplished by introducing a new EXP_DISCARD flag that tells argstr to only parse and not produce any actual expansions. Incidentally, argstr will now always NUL-terminate the expansion unless the EXP_WORD flag is set. This is because all but one caller of argstr wants the result to be NUL-termianted.

* expand: Fix skipping of command substitution when trimming in evalvarHerbert Xu2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | When we are trimming an unset variable in evalvar, any embedded command substitution that should have been skipped are not. This can cause them to be evaluated later should there be other command substitutions in the same input word. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* expand: Merge syntax/quotes in memtodest with flagsHerbert Xu2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function arguments syntax and quotes are both derived from the expansion flags. As syntax is only used by memtodest we do not need to maintain it outside of the function at all. The only place that uses something other than BASESYNTAX or DQSYNTAX is exptilde. However in that case DQSYNTAX has exactly the same effect as SQSYNTAX. This patch merges these two arguments into a single flags. The macro QUOTES_KEEPNUL has been renamed to EXP_KEEPNUL in order to keep the namespace separate. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* expand: Use HOME in tilde expansion when it is emptyHerbert Xu2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | Currently if HOME is set to empty tilde expansion will fail, i.e., it will remain as a literal tilde. This patch changes it to return the empty string as required by POSIX. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* shell: Don't include config.h for native helpersPeter Korsgaard2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | config.h contains settings for the cross compiler (most importantly 32/64bit versions of functions), so don't include it when calling the native compiler to build the helpers.

* eval: Replace with listsetvar with mklocal/setvareqHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces listsetvar with mklocal/setvareq. As we now determine special built-in status prior to variable assignment, we no longer have to do a second pass listsetvar. Instead we will call setvareq directly instead of mklocal when necessary. In order to do this mklocal can now take a flag in order to mark a variable for export. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* eval: Fail immediately with redirections errors for simple commandHerbert Xu2018-05-28

* eval: Add assignment built-in support againHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds assignment built-in support that used to exist in dash prior to 0.3.8-15. This is because it will soon be part of POSIX, and the semantics are now much better defined. Recognition is done at execution time, so even "command -- export" or "var=export; command $var" should work. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* exec: Stricter pathopt parsingHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the parsing of pathopt. First of all only %builtin and %func (with arbitrary suffixes) will be recognised. Any other pathopt will be treated as a normal directory. Furthermore, pathopt can now be specified before the directory, rather than after it. In fact, a future version may remove support for pathopt suffixes. Wherever the pathopt is placed, an optional % may be placed after it to terminate the pathopt. This is so that it is less likely that a genuine directory containing a % sign is parsed as a pathopt. Users of padvance outside of exec.c have also been modified: 1) cd(1) will always treat % characters as part of the path. 2) chkmail will continue to accept arbitrary pathopt. 3) find_dot_file will ignore the %builtin pathopt instead of trying to do a stat in the accompanying directory (which is usually the current directory). The patch also removes the clearcmdentry optimisation where we attempt to only partially flush the table where possible. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* exec: Do not allocate stack string in padvanceHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | Many callers of padvance immediately free the allocated string so this patch moves the stalloc call to the caller. Instead of returning the allocated string, padvance now returns the length to allocate (this may be longer than the actual string length, even including the NUL). For the case where we would previously return NULL, we now return -1. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* parser: Save/restore here-documents in command substitutionHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the parsing of here-documents within command substitution, both old style and new style. In particular, the original here-document list is saved upon the beginning of parsing command substitution and restored when exiting. This means that here-documents outside of command substitution can no longer be filled by text within it and vice-versa. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* jobs: Only clear gotsigchld when waiting for everythingHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The gotsigchld flag is always cleared in dowait but not all callers of dowait will wait for everything. In particular, when jp is set we only wait until the set job isn't running anymore. This patch fixes this by only clearing gotsigchld if jp is unset. It also changes the waitcmd to actually set jp which corresponds to the behaviour of bash/ksh93/mksh. The only other caller of dowait that doesn't wait for everything is the jobless reaper. This is in fact redundant now that we wait after every simple command. This patch removes it. Finally as every caller of dowait needs to wait until either the given job is not running, or until all terminated jobs have been processed, this patch moves the loop into dowait itself.

* mkinit: Split reset into exitreset and resetHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously reset was called after exitshell. This was changed so that it was called before exitshell because certain state needed to be reset in order for the EXIT trap to work. However, this caused issues because certain other states (such as local variables) should not be reset. This patch fixes this by creating a new function exitreset that is called prior to exitshell and moving reset back to its original location. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* main: Only set savestatus in exitcmdHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | Currently exitcmd sets exitstatus and then savestatus if the latter was previously set. In fact, as exitcmd always raises an exception and will either end up in the setjmp call in main() or exitshell(), where exitstatus is always replaced by savestatus if set, we only need to set savestatus.

* exec: Return 126 on most errors in shellexecHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently when shellexec fails on most errors the shell will exit with exit status 2. This patch changes it to 126 in order to avoid ambiguities with the exit status from a successful exec. The errors that result in 127 has also been expanded to include ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG and ELOOP. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* jobs - Do not block when waiting on SIGCHLDHerbert Xu2018-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of the nature of SIGCHLD, the process may have already been waited on and therefore we must be prepared for the case that wait may block. So ensure that it doesn't by using WNOHANG. Furthermore, multiple jobs may have exited when gotsigchld is set. Therefore we need to wait until there are no zombies left. Lastly, waitforjob needs to be called with interrupts off and the original patch broke that. Fixes: 03876c0743a5 ("eval: Reap zombies after built-in...")

However, you're right that this is no longer the case. This patch will remove the persistence of the variable assignment. I have considered the exporting the variables during the function execution but have decided against it because: 1) It makes the code bigger. 2) dash has never done this in the past. 3) You cannot use this portably anyway.

* parser: Fix parameter expansion inside inner double quotesHerbert Xu2018-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The parsing of parameter expansion inside inner double quotes breaks because we never look for ENDVAR while innerdq is true. echo "${x#"${x+''}"''} This patch fixes it by pushing the syntax stack if innerdq is true and we enter a new parameter expansion.

What happens is that quote removal only applies to the original token as seen by the shell. It is never applied to the result of parameter expansion. Now you may ask why on earth does the second line say "/dev/null" instead of "/dev/\null". Well that's because it is not the quote removal step that removed the backslash, but the pathname expansion. The fact that the /de\v does not become /dev even though it exists is just the result of the optimisation to avoid unnecessarily calling stat(2). I have checked POSIX and I don't see anything that forbids this behaviour. So going back to dash yes I think we should adopt the bash behaviour for pathname expansion and keep the existing case semantics. This patch does exactly that. Note that this patch does not work unless you have already applied https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10306507/ because otherwise the optimisation mentioned above does not get detected correctly and we will end up doing quote removal twice. This patch also updates expmeta to handle naked backslashes at the end of the pattern which is now possible. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

For a while now when I've compiled dash I received a warning from automake that there are source files in a subdirectory but that the subdir-objects automake option was not supplied. I've just been adding it myself, but I finally got around to submitting a patch. The code still compiles for now (i'm using automake 1.15.1), but warning text is rarely nice to see and, if the warning text is to be believed, then the warning will eventually become an error.

* builtin: Fix echo performance regressionHerbert Xu2018-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit d6c0e1e2ffbf7913ab69d51cc794d48d41c8fcb1 ("[BUILTIN] Handle embedded NULs correctly in printf") caused a performance regression in the echo built-in because every echo call now goes through the printf %b slow path where the string is always printed twice to ensure the space padding is correct in the presence of NUL characters. In fact this regression applies to printf %b as well. This is easily fixed by making printf %b take the fast path when no precision/field width modifiers are present. This patch also changes the second strchurnul call to strspn which generates slightly better code. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

You're right. The proper fix to this is to ensure that nulonly is not set in varvalue for $*. It should only be set for $@ when it's inside double quotes. In fact there is another bug while we're playing with $@/$*. When IFS is set to a non-whitespace character such as :, $* outside quotes won't remove empty fields as it should. This patch fixes both problems. Reported-by: Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org> Suggested-by: Harald van Dijk <harald@gigawatt.nl> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
