2009-06-27[REDIR] Fix incorrect savefd conversionsHerbert Xu
When I added savefd we may end up closing stderr if that is how we get to the tty. This patch fixes by adding a second argument to indicate what fd should be closed which lets jobs.c get around the problem. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-05-23[MAN] Update manual page to differentiate dash from ashGerrit Pape
Rename sh to dash in the header and synopsis; remove reference to the 4.4 BSD release in the description, and replace the history information with a reference to NetBSD's ash. Suggested by jaalto through http://bugs.debian.org/499838 Signed-off-by: Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-22[PARSER] Use CHKNL to parse case statementsHerbert Xu
Instead of open-coding the newline loop, use the CHKNL flag to get readtoken to eat the newlines before the in keyword for the case statement. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-22[PARSER] Allow newlines after var name in for statementsHerbert Xu
POSIX allows newlines before the "in" keyword in for statements so we should too. Thanks to Maximilian Bernöcker for reporting this. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-22[JOBS] Do not close stderr when /dev/tty fails to openHerbert Xu
As it stands if we fail to open /dev/tty we end up closing stderr after saving it at a higher fd. Thanks to David van Gorkom for reporting this. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-22[SIGNAL] Remove EXSIGHerbert Xu
Now that waitcmd no longer uses EXSIG we can remove it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-22[JOBS] Fix dowait signal raceHerbert Xu
This test program by Alexey Gladkov can cause dash to enter an infinite loop in waitcmd. #!/bin/dash trap "echo TRAP" USR1 stub() { echo ">>> STUB $1" >&2 sleep $1 echo "<<< STUB $1" >&2 kill -USR1 $$ } stub 3 & stub 2 & until { echo "###"; wait; } do echo "*** $?" done The problem is that if we get a signal after the wait3 system call has returned but before we get to INTON in dowait, then we can jump back up to the top and lose the exit status. So if we then wait for the job that has just exited, then it'll stay there forever. I made the original change that caused this bug to fix pretty much the same bug but in the opposite direction. That is, if we get a signal after we enter wait3 but before we hit the kernel then it too can cause the wait to go on forever (assuming the child doesn't exit). In fact this is pretty much exactly the scenario that you'll find in glibc's documentation on pause(). The solution is given there too, in the form of sigsuspend, which is the only way to do the check and wait atomically. So this patch fixes Alexey's race without reintroducing the old bug by converting the blocking wait3 to a sigsuspend. In order to do this we need to set a signal handler for SIGCHLD, so the code has been modified to always do that. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2009-01-13[BUILD] Fixed build on OS XMark Mentovai
Hi, Herbert and friends. I've created a small patch that allows dash to be built on Mac OS X. I'm contributing it here with the hope that it's suitable for inclusion in dash. The changes in this patch are: - __attribute__((__alias__())) is not supported, add an autoconf check - open64 is not present although the stat64 family is, separate the autoconf checks - A syntax error had slipped into a non-glibc codepath - mkbuiltins had a nonportable mktemp invocation for the case where tempfile is not availalble Nothing in this patch is actually Mac OS X-specific, so it might aid portability to other platforms as well.

2009-01-13[BUILD] Fixed build on NetBSDAleksey Cheusov
Hi, I propose to apply the following patch for dash. The problem is alloca.h is absent on many platforms including NetBSD I'm running. Also, NetBSD's version of mktemp doesn't work without temporary filename pattern. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-10-17[MAN] Removed obsolete for loop syntaxHerbert Xu
Sven Mascheck reported that we no longer accept the non-standard for {} syntax but the manual page still refers to it. This patch removes that reference. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-05-19[EXPAND] Fixed non-leading slash treatment in expmetaHerbert Xu
Back in January an attempt was made to fix the interpretation of quoted slashes in expmeta. However, this only fixed those cases where the quoted slash is at the front of the word. The case of non-leading slashes caused the previous directory part to gain a back slash suffix which causes subsequent pattern matches to fail. This patch fixes this by removing the back slash in that case. Thanks to Romain Tartière fox reporting this bug.

gcc generates bogus warnings about uninitialised variables in parser.c. This patch borrows the uninitialized_var macro from Linux to silence them. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-05-03[SHELL] Fixed klibc/klcc build problemsDan McGee
klibc does not have mempcpy, so system.h must be included where this is used to provide the replacement. glob.h doesn't exist, so we need to guard this include with the HAVE_GLOB definition. Finally, klcc didn't like the syntax of the main definition in mksignames, and the resulting program segfaulted when trying to dereference any part of the argv array. Updating the main function definition solved the problem. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-05-03[ERROR] Set default exvwarning2 arg0 for errors during early initialisationHerbert Xu

2008-05-02[JOBS] Fix cmdtxt crash on if statementsLarry Doolittle
(Herbert: for context, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467065 ) This is a real bug in upstream dash, which has existed since at least dash-0.5.1 (July 2004). It is a latent bug in cmdtxt() (which I think applies only to pipes) as it handles "if" commands. The attached patch fixes it for me. It's possible this patch will fix one or more of #462414, #462977, and #463649. I'll send messages there to see if the submitters can test. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-05-02[EXPAND] Fix slash treatment in expmetaHerbert Xu
The change [EXPAND] Do not quote back slashes in parameter expansions outside quotes triggered a latent bug in expmeta where the forward slashes when preceded by a blackslash weren't recognised as directory separators. This was hidden because a work-around was put in place for glob(3) which meant that we never had any backslashes immediately before forward slashes. This patch fixes the metaflag loop to recognise forward slashes even when they follow a backslash. Thanks to Daniel Hahler for reporting this problem. Test case: echo "/"root* Old result: /root* New result: /root Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-12-27[PARSER] Do not show prompts in expandstrHerbert Xu
Once I fixed the previous problem it became apparent that we never dealt with prompts with new-lines in them correctly. The problem is that we showed a secondary prompt for each of them. This patch disables prompt generation in expandstr. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-12-27[PARSER] Add FAKEEOFMARK for expandstrHerbert Xu
Previously expandstr used the string "" to indicate that it needs to be treated just like a here-doc except that there is no terminator. However, the string "" is in fact a valid here-doc terminator so now that we deal with it correctly expandstr no longer works in the presence of new-lines in the prompt. This patch introduces the FAKEEOFMARK macro which does not equal any real EOF marker but is distinct from the NULL pointer which is used to indicate non-here-doc contexts. Thanks to Markus Triska for reporting this regression. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-12-23[ARITH] If imaxdiv() isn't available, use / and % operatorsGerrit Pape

2007-12-23[BUILTIN] Add set +o supportRichard M Kreuter
The dash(1) in Debian stable does not support "set +o" in the manner specified by SUSv3: |+o | Write the current option settings to standard output in a format | that is suitable for reinput to the shell as commands that | achieve the same options settings. (citation from http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/set.html) Instead, dash's "set +o" prints the shell's options in a human-readable format. Here is a simple test program that exercises this feature; it works as I believe is required under bash, but not under dash. # Save the shell's options set +o > /tmp/settings-commands set -o | sort > /tmp/settings-before # Change some options. set -v set -f set -x set +o emacs set -o vi # Try to restore our options. . /tmp/settings-commands set -o | sort > /tmp/settings-after # Compare. diff /tmp/settings-before /tmp/settings-after I believe the following small patch adds this feature to dash, and documents it in the manual page: Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2007-11-11[EXPAND] Expand here-documents in the current shell environmentHerbert Xu
Previously we always expanded here-documents in a subshell. This is contrary to the POSIX specification and how other shells behave. What's more this slows down many expansions due to the extra fork (however, it must be said that it is possible for it speed up certain expansions by running it simultaneously with the command on two CPUs). This patch move the expansion into the current shell environment. Test case: unset a cat <<- EOF > /dev/null ${a=NOT} EOF echo ${a}BAD Old result: BAD New result: NOTBAD
2007-11-11[EXPAND] Removed herefd hackHerbert Xu
The herefd hack goes back more than a decade. it limits the amount of memory we have to allocate when expanding here-documents by writing the result out from time to time. However, it's no longer safe because the stack is used to place intermediate results too and there we certainly don't want to write them out should we be short on memory. In any case, with today's computers we can afford to keep the entire result in memory and write them out at the end.
2007-11-11[PARSER] Removed noexpand/length check on eofmarkHerbert Xu

I've tried bash and pdksh and they both terminate on the first empty line which is what you would expect rather than EOF. The real Korn shell does something completely different. I've fixed this in dash to conform to bash/pdksh. > In [0] it's stated, that delimiter isn't evaluated (expanded), only > quoiting must be checked. That if() seems to be completely bogus. OK I agree. The reason it was there is because the parser would have already replaced the dollar sign by an internal representation. I've fixed it properly with this patch.

2007-10-20[PARSER] Fix here-doc corruptionHerbert Xu
The change [PARSER] Recognise here-doc delimiters terminated by EOF introduced a regerssion whereby lines starting with eofmark but are not equal to eofmark would be corrupted. This patch fixes it. Test case: cat << _ACEOF _ASBOX _ACEOF Old result: SASBOX New result: _ASBOX
2007-10-20[EXPAND] Added configure --enable-glob and --enable-fnmatch optionsHerbert Xu
Debian's libc6 as of 2.6.1-6 has working glob(3)/fnmatch(3) support. This patch adds the options --enable-glob and --enable-fnmatch to the configure script. By default glob(3) and fnmatch(3) are still unused. However, on distros where the glibc is known to work you may enable these options.
2007-10-17[SHELL] Replace shared illnum message by badnum function.Herbert Xu
This patch adds the badnum function and uses it to mostly replace the use of illnum except in miscbltin where the current code turns out to be smaller because of the twin sh_error calls.
