* expand: Fix double-decrement in argstrHerbert Xu2019-03-28
| | | | | | | | | Due to a double decrement in argstr we may miss field separators at the end of a word in certain situations. Reported-by: Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org> Fixes: 3cd538634f71 ("expand: Do not reprocess data when...") Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* expand: Eat closing brace for length parameter expansionHerbert Xu2018-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are doing VSLENGTH expansion, the closing brace is currently not removed in evalvar. This causes the caller argstr to terminate prematurely as it would interpret the closing brace as one that belongs to a parameter expansion at the outer level. This patch fixes it.

* expand: Fix multiple issues with EXP_DISCARD in evalvarHerbert Xu2018-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit 3cd538634f71538370f5af239f342aec48b7470b broke parameter expansion in multiple ways because the EXP_DISCARD flag wasn't set or tested for various cases: $ src/dash -c 'var=; echo ${var:+nonempty}' nonempty $ src/dash -u -c 'unset foo bar; echo ${foo+${bar}}' dash: 1: bar: parameter not set $ src/dash -c 'foo=bar; echo ${foo=BUG}; echo $foo' barBUG bar $ This patch fixes them by introducing a new discard variable that tracks whether the extra word should be discarded or not when it is parsed.

* 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>
* 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.

* 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

* 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>

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>

| | | | | | | | | | | It's been a while since we disabled glob(3) support by default. It appears to be working now, however, we have to change our code to detect the no-match case correctly.

* expand: Fix buffer overflow in expandmetaHerbert Xu2018-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | The native version of expandmeta allocates a buffer that may be overrun for two reasons. First of all the size is 1 byte too small but this is normally hidden because the minimum size is rounded up to 2048 bytes. Secondly, if the directory level is deep enough, any buffer can be overrun. This patch fixes both problems by calling realloc when necessary. 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.

* parser: Add syntax stack for recursive parsingHerbert Xu2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without a stack of syntaxes we cannot correctly these two cases together: "${a#'$$'}" "${a#"${b-'$$'}"}" A recursive parser also helps in some other corner cases such as nested arithmetic expansion with paratheses. This patch adds a syntax stack allocated from the stack using alloca. As a side-effect this allows us to remove the naked backslashes for patterns within double-quotes, which means that EXP_QPAT also has to go. This patch also fixes removes any backslashes that precede right braces when they are present within a parameter expansion context, and backslashes that precede double quotes within inner double quotes inside a parameter expansion in a here-document context. The idea of a recursive parser is based on a patch by Harald van Dijk. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Check for them in configure.ac and fall back on the usual suspects when they are missing. - Older Solaris lacks isblank(), and versions that have it use a macro. Check for the declaration in configure.ac and fall back on a naive version when missing. - Older Solaris does not support %jd (intmax_t) in format strings, but it does support the PRIdMAX macro from inttypes.h. Do a configure check for PRIdMAX and use it in the code. If it doesn't exist, define it to "lld" when sizeof(long long) equals sizeof(intmax_t) as this is more likely to work on older systems. Otherwise, use "jd" and hope for the best. - Older Solaris lacks stdint.h, but inttypes.h provides the same types and works on all platforms I've tried dash on, so just use it instead. - Older Solaris doesn't like it when vsnprintf() is passed a NULL buffer (in violation of the POSIX spec, of course). Pass a 1-byte dummy buffer instead. - Solaris lacks tempfile and mktemp programs. Fall back on a "good-enough" custom function in mkbuiltins.

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
* [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.
* [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
* [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
* [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/
* [EXPAND] Fixed inverted char class matchingHerbert Xu2006-10-04
| | | | | | | | The return value of ccmatch was being treated as 0 or 1 but it's actually zero or non-zero. This broke inverted character class matching. Reported by Alexander Skwar.
* [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.
