I see, you're right. Thanks, Gerrit.

This patch hard-codes the 3,4-argument cases in the way required by
POSIX.

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.
Test case:
echo /*"/null"
Old result:
/*/null
New result:
/dev/null

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.

(Herbert: for context, see

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.

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[EXPAND] Do not quote back slashes in parameter expansions outside quotes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.

echo "/"root*

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>

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.

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:

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
|
|
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.

Actually this (the empty delim) only works with dash by accident.
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.

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.

cat <<- $a
OK
$a

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.

This patch adds the badnum function and uses it to mostly replace the use

The only user of setvarsafe is getopts. However, we can achieve the same
result by pre-setting the value of shellparam.optind.
|
|
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.

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.

The function grabstackblock is identical in semantics to stalloc within its
input constraints.

Previously dash required a <newline> character to be present in order for

succeed. POSIX seems to be silence on this so this should be OK.

Because the parser does not recursively parse parameter expansion with respect
to quotes, we can't accurately determine quote status at parse time. This

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

So this patch removes that behaviour in dash as well.

echo "${a:-~root}"

~root

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.

Previously tilde expansion was not carried out for =?#% expansion words.
This is contrary to the POSIX specification.
