* [PARSER] Use CHKNL to parse case statementsHerbert Xu2009-02-22
| | | | | | | | 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>
* [PARSER] Allow newlines after var name in for statementsHerbert Xu2009-02-22
| | | | | | | | | 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>
* [JOBS] Do not close stderr when /dev/tty fails to openHerbert Xu2009-02-22
| | | | | | | | | 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>

* [JOBS] Fix dowait signal raceHerbert Xu2009-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* [BUILD] Fixed build on OS XMark Mentovai2009-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [BUILD] Fixed build on NetBSDAleksey Cheusov2009-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | 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>

* [EXPAND] Fixed non-leading slash treatment in expmetaHerbert Xu2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [SHELL] Fixed klibc/klcc build problemsDan McGee2008-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [JOBS] Fix cmdtxt crash on if statementsLarry Doolittle2008-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (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>
* [EXPAND] Fix slash treatment in expmetaHerbert Xu2008-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PARSER] Do not show prompts in expandstrHerbert Xu2007-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | 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>
* [PARSER] Add FAKEEOFMARK for expandstrHerbert Xu2007-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* [EXPAND] Expand here-documents in the current shell environmentHerbert Xu2007-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* [EXPAND] Removed herefd hackHerbert Xu2007-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [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.
