This is caused by the recent change to save/restore here-docment list around command substitutions. In doing so we must finish existing here-documents prior to restoring the old here-document list. This is done for new-style command substitutions but not for old-style. This patch fixes it by doing it for both.

* parser: Do not push token back before parseheredocHerbert Xu2018-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we read the first token in list() we use peektoken instead of readtoken as the following code needs to use the same token again. However, this is wrong when we're in a here-document as it will clobber the saved token without resetting the tokpushback flag. This patch fixes it by doing the tokpushback after parseheredoc and setting lasttoken again if parseheredoc was called.

* 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>

* 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>
* parser: Fix incorrect eating of backslash newlinesHerbert Xu2018-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the introduction of synstack->syntax, a number of references to the syntax variable was missed during the conversion. This causes backslash newlines to be incorrectly removed in single quote context. This patch also combines these calls into a new helper function pgetc_top.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | dash -c 'echo ${}' should print "Bad subtitution" but instead fails with "Syntax error: Missing '}'". This is caused by us reading an extra character beyond the right brace.

* parser: Fix backquote support in here-document EOF markHerbert Xu2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | Currently using backquotes in a here-document EOF mark is broken because dash tries to do command substitution on it.

* 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>
* parser: use pgetc_eatbnl() in more placesHarald van Dijk2018-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | dash has a pgetc_eatbnl function in parser.c which skips any backslash-newline combinations. It's not used everywhere it could be. There is also some duplicated backslash-newline handling elsewhere in parser.c. Replace most of the calls to pgetc() with calls to pgetc_eatbnl() and remove the duplicated backslash-newline handling.

* [PARSER] Catch variable length expansions on non-existant specialsHerbert Xu2014-10-30
| | | | | | | | | Currently we only check special variable names that follow directly after $ or ${. So errors such as ${#&} are not caught. This patch fixes that by moving the is_special check to just before we print out the special variable name. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* [PARSER] Simplify EOF/newline handling in list parserHerbert Xu2014-10-28

* [PARSER] Removed unnecessary pungetc on EOF from parserHerbert Xu2014-10-28

* [SHELL] Improve LINENO supportHarald van Dijk2011-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves LINENO support by storing line numbers in the parse tree, for commands as well as for function definitions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Looks like in contrast to what the dash.1 manual page says, expansion of PS{1,2,4} does work. Here is a little patch to set LINENO. The ways in that it is less than ideal mirror the ways that the line number error reporting is also less than ideal. For example if you run this: ( x=$((1/0)) # Just to add another line # And another ) # error reports this line The error reported will be the closing parenthesis even though I think most people would prefer the error to be the one where x was set.

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.
* [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 ${##1}OK Old result: 1OK New result: OK
* [PARSER] Recognise here-doc delimiters terminated by EOFHerbert Xu2007-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously dash required a <newline> character to be present in order for a here-document delimiter to be detected. Allowing EOF in the absence of a <newline> to play the same purpose allows some intuitive scripts to succeed. POSIX seems to be silence on this so this should be OK. Test case: eval 'cat <<- NOT test NOT' echo OK Old result: test NOTOK New result: test OK
* [EXPAND] Move parse-time quote flag detection to run-timeHerbert Xu2007-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because the parser does not recursively parse parameter expansion with respect to quotes, we can't accurately determine quote status at parse time. This patch works around this by moving the quote detection to run-time where we do interpret it recursively. Test case: foo=\\ echo "<${foo#[\\]}>" Old result: <\> New result: <>
* [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] 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/
* [PARSER] Remove unnecessary inclusion of redir.hHerbert Xu2007-05-06

* [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.
* Copyright/licence updates and remove all traces of sys/cdefs.hHerbert Xu2005-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | This change updates the BSD licence to the three-clause version since NetBSD has already done so. This makes dash GPL-compatible. It also adds Christos Zoulas (NetBSD ash maintainer) to the COPYING file. I've added "copyright by Herbert Xu" to most files. Finally all CVS IDs and inclusion of sys/cdefs.h have been removed. The latter is needed for support of klibc.
