* [BUILTIN] Use setvarint to set OPTINDHerbert Xu2007-10-11
| | | | | This patch adds a flag argument to setvarint and uses it to set the OPTIND variable.
* [EXPAND] Add likely flags in expariHerbert Xu2007-10-11
| | | | The case where the expansion isn't quoted is the norm.
* [ARITH] Size optimisations in arithmetic lexerHerbert Xu2007-10-11
| | | | Use += instead of straight assignment for token value.
* [ARITH] Add assignment and intmax_t supportHerbert Xu2007-10-11
| | | | | This patch adds assignment operator support in arithmetic expansions. It also changes the type used to intmax_t.
* [PARSER] Report substition errors at expansion timeHerbert Xu2007-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Wed, Apr 11, 2007 at 01:24:21PM -0700, Micah Cowan wrote: > Package: dash > Version: 0.5.3-3 > > Bug first reported against Ubuntu at > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/105634 > by Paul Smith > > The description and some comments from that bug report follow. > > ----- > > This operation fails on Ubuntu: > > $ /bin/sh -c 'if false; then d="${foo/bar}"; fi' > /bin/sh: Syntax error: Bad substitution > > When used with other POSIX shells it succeeds.

This patch moves the error detection to expansion time. Test case: if false; then echo ${a!7} fi echo OK Old result: dash: Syntax error: Bad substitution New result: OK
* [BUILTIN] Use intmax_t arithmetic in testHerbert Xu2007-10-06
| | | | | This patch adds the function atomax10 and uses it in test(1) so that we support intmax_t comparisons.
* [VAR] Remove setvarsafeHerbert Xu2007-10-06
| | | | | The only user of setvarsafe is getopts. However, we can achieve the same result by pre-setting the value of shellparam.optind.
* [BUILTIN] Treat OPTIND=0 in the same way as OPTIND=1Herbert Xu2007-10-06
| | | | | | | | Previously setting OPTIND to 0 would cause subsequent getopts calls to fail. This patch makes dash reset the getopts parameters the same way as OPTIND=1. Both behaviours are allowed by POSIX but other common shells do tolerate this case.
* [MEMALLOC] Add pushstackmarkHerbert Xu2007-10-06
| | | | | | | | This patch gets rid of the stack mark tracking hack by allocating a little bit of stack memory if we're at risk of planting a stack mark which may be grown later. To do this a new function pushstackmark is added which lets the user pick a bigger amount to allocate since some users do that anyway after setting a stack mark.
* [MEMALLOC] Made grabstackblock an inline wrapper for stallocHerbert Xu2007-10-05
| | | | | The function grabstackblock is identical in semantics to stalloc within its input constraints.
* [PARSER] Size optimisations in parameter expansion parserHerbert Xu2007-10-04
| | | | | | | Merge flags into subtype. Do not write subtype out twice. Add likely flag on ${ vs. $NAME. Kill unnecessary (and bogus) PEOA check.
* [PARSER] Fix parsing of ${##1}Herbert Xu2007-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously dash treated ${##1} as a length operation. This patch fixes that. Test case: set -- a echo ${##1}OK Old result: 1OK New result: OK
* [BUILD] Add --enable-static option to configure.Alexey Gladkov2007-10-04
| | | | Add new option to build statical linked dash.
* [PARSER] Recognise here-doc delimiters terminated by EOFHerbert Xu2007-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously dash required a <newline> character to be present in order for a here-document delimiter to be detected. Allowing EOF in the absence of a <newline> to play the same purpose allows some intuitive scripts to succeed. POSIX seems to be silence on this so this should be OK. Test case: eval 'cat <<- NOT test NOT' echo OK Old result: test NOTOK New result: test OK
* [EXPAND] Refresh stack pointers after makestrspace in _rmescapesRoy Marples2007-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dash-0.5.3 has an issue reading some line lengths [1]. This is reproducable on amd64, but not on other arches for some reason. $ cat bug.sh (read line; echo "${line%%=*}") <<EOF TITLE=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx EOF printf "\ TITLE=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx " | (read line; echo "${line%%=*}") $ bash bug.sh TITLE TITLE $ dash bug.sh TITLE=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TITLE Attahced is a patch to fix the issue Thanks Roy [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180680
* [MAN] Clarify syntax of the for commandGerrit Pape2007-09-25
| | | | | | | | Document that in a for loop 'in word ...' is optional, and if omitted, 'in "$@"' is used. Lars Wilke noticed this, and reported through http://bugs.debian.org/387441
* [MAN] Clarify description of -nt, -ot options to test builtinGerrit Pape2007-09-25
| | | | | | | | | Have the man page explicitely state how the test builtin behaves on -nt and -ot options if file2 does not exist. The case where file1 does not exist was already documented properly. This was noticed by Sven Mueller and reported through http://bugs.debian.org/373611
* [EXPAND] Move parse-time quote flag detection to run-timeHerbert Xu2007-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because the parser does not recursively parse parameter expansion with respect to quotes, we can't accurately determine quote status at parse time. This patch works around this by moving the quote detection to run-time where we do interpret it recursively. Test case: foo=\\ echo "<${foo#[\\]}>" Old result: <\> New result: <>
* [EXPAND] Do not expand tilde in parameter expansion within quotesHerbert Xu2007-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously code was added so that tilde expansion was carried out parameter expansions within double quotes. This change was made with reference the behaviour of bash at the time. Bash has since be fixed so that this behaviour no longer occurs which is in line with most other POSIX shells. So this patch removes that behaviour in dash as well. Test case: unset a echo "${a:-~root}" Old result: /root New result: ~root
* [PARSER] Remove arithmetic expansion collapsing at parse timeHerbert Xu2007-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Collapsing arithmethc expansion is incorrect when the inner arithmetic expansion is a part of a parameter expansion. Test case: unset a echo $((3 + ${a:=$((4 + 5))})) echo $a Old result: (4 + 5) New result: 9
* [PARSER] Remove superfluous dblquote settings when ending arithHerbert Xu2007-09-24
| | | | | | When an arithmetic expansion terminates and we restore the syntax to the previous one, we don't need to set dblquote because we never changed upon entering the arithmetic expansion.
* [PARSER] Remove superfluous arinest test for dqvarnestHerbert Xu2007-09-24
| | | | | | dqvarnest is only used to determine whether CENDQUOTE should terminate the double-quote syntax. Since CENDQUOTE can never occur while arinest is set, we don't need to take arinest into account for dqvarnest.
* [PARSER] Remove superfluous arinest test in CENDQUOTEHerbert Xu2007-09-24
| | | | | If arinest is set then the syntax must be ARISYNTAX. As such CENDQUOTE can never occur while arinest is set so we don't need to test for it.
* [EXPAND] Perform tilde expansion in all parameter expansion wordsHerbert Xu2007-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously tilde expansion was not carried out for =?#% expansion words. This is contrary to the POSIX specification. Test case: a=~root:~root echo ${a#~root} Old result: /root:/root New result: :/root
* [EXPAND] Do not quote back slashes in parameter expansions outside quotesHerbert Xu2007-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Test case: a=/b/c/* b=\\ echo ${a%$b*} Old result: /b/c/* New result: /b/c/

* [BUILTIN] test: White space fixesOleg Verych2007-09-22
| | | | Some trailing whitespace was killed or tabified.
* [SHELL] Move flushall to the point just before _exitHerbert Xu2007-09-22
| | | | | | We need to flush at the very end in case we've generated any errors before that. The flushall call cannot perform a longjmp so it's safe there.

I've fixed this slightly differently so that we don't need the xtcsetpgrp change.
* Release 0.5.4.Herbert Xu2007-07-12

* [REDIR] Size optimisations in redir.cHerbert Xu2007-05-12
| | | | | | Add likely flag on REDIR_PUSH. Remove sv check on REDIR_SAVEFD2 (it implies REDIR_PUSH). Optimise NTOFD/NFROMFD same fd check.
* [REDIR] Fix redirect restore on saved file descriptorsHerbert Xu2007-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As it stands if a redirection occurs on a file descriptor that was previously closed, it won't be closed after that redirection goes out of effect. This is because we don't keep track of closed file descriptors properly as we do for open ones. This patch fixes this by introducing two new states, CLOSED and REALLY_CLOSED. The first represents an initially closed descriptor which is now open while the second one represents an initally closed descriptor which is now closed. This patch is based on work by Rainer Weikusat.
* [REDIR] Remove redundant CLOEXEC callsHerbert Xu2007-05-12
| | | | | Now that we're marking file descriptors as CLOEXEC in savefd, we no longer need to close them on exec or in setinputfd.
* [REDIR] Replace copyfd by savefd and use dup2 elsewhereHerbert Xu2007-05-12
| | | | | | | There are two kinds of users to copyfd, those that want to copy an fd to an exact value and those that want to move an fd to a value >= 10. The former can simply use dup2 directly while the latter share a lot of common code that now constitutes savefd.
* [EVAL] Use dup2 instead of copyfd in evalbackcmdHerbert Xu2007-05-06
| | | | Since we know that dup2 must succeed here we can call it directly.
* [REDIR] Remove EMFILE special caseHerbert Xu2007-05-06
| | | | | No caller of copyfd need to ignore EMFILE so we can remove the special case and just let it call sh_error on any error.
* [PARSER] Remove unnecessary inclusion of redir.hHerbert Xu2007-05-06

* [PARSER] Fix typo in commentHerbert Xu2007-05-05
| | | | The value for CTLBACKQ | CTLQUOTE is now -123, not 133.

I've changed this patch so that we just set LC_COLLATE for the sort command.

* [SYSTEM] Check return code for getgroups and fwriteAlexey Gladkov2006-10-13
| | | | | Check getgroups() and fwrite() return code, required to build with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
* [BUILD] Added --with-libedit option to configureAlexey Gladkov2006-05-23
| | | | | Add to the configure.ac new option: --with-libedit - Compile with libedit support.
* [PARSER] Only use signed char for syntax arraysHerbert Xu2006-04-23
| | | | | | | | | The existing scheme of using the native char for syntax array indicies makes cross-compiling difficult. Therefore it makes sense to choose one specific sign for everyone. Since signed chars are native to most platforms and i386, it makes more sense to use that if we are to choose one type for everyone.
* [PARSER] Use alloca to get rid of setjmpHerbert Xu2006-03-29
| | | | | Now that the only thing protected by setjmp/longjmp is the saved string, we can allocate it on the stack to get rid of the jump.
* [PARSER] Removed useless parsebackquote flagHerbert Xu2006-03-29
| | | | | The parsebackquote flag is only used in a test where it always has the value zero. So we can remove it altogether.
* [EVAL] Make eval with empty arguments return 0 Herbert Xu2006-01-12

See attached patch for a > fix. Instead of setting rval when \c is detected, this is now set in the return value of conv_escape_str. This prevents the spillage reported in http://bugs.debian.org/337294.
* [BUILTIN] Always call conv_escape_str in echocmdHerbert Xu2005-11-13
| | | | | Instead of calling conv_escape_str when we detect a backslash we will call it unconditionally. This helps get rid of some unnecessary code in echocmd.
* [MEMALLOC] Remove unnecessary truncation in _STPUTCHerbert Xu2005-11-13
| | | | | Using char in the function argument causes unnecessary truncation to occur. This patch changes it to an int.
