* eval: Use sh_warnx instead of warnxHerbert Xu2018-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a typo in evalbltin where warnx was used instead of sh_warnx. Reported-by: Antonio Ospite <ao2@ao2.it> Fixes: 8e43729547b5 ("eval: Report I/O error on stdout") Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* 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.

* 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.

* eval: Use the correct expansion mode for fd redirectionHerbert Xu2018-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has been reported that echo test >&$EMPTY_VARIABLE causes dash to segfault. This is a symptom of the bigger problem that dash tries to perform pathname expansion as well as field splitting on the word after >& and <&. This is wrong and this patch fixes it to use the same expansions as done on a normal redirection.

* eval: make traps work when "set -e" is enabledAntonio Ospite2018-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When "set -e" is enabled traps are not always executed, in particular the EXIT trap is not executed when the shell exits on an unhandled error. Consider the following test script: #!/bin/dash set -e trap 'ret=$?; echo "EXIT: $ret"' EXIT trap 'exit 2' HUP INT QUIT PIPE TERM read variable By pressing Ctrl-C one would expect the EXIT trap to be called, as it is the case with other shells (bash, zsh), but dash does not do it. By calling dotrap() before jumping to the exit path when checkexit is not zero, dash behaves like other shells.

* 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.

* memalloc: Avoid looping in growstacktoHerbert Xu2018-08-29

* eval: Always set localvar_stopHerbert Xu2018-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | The variable localvar_stop is set iff vlocal is true. gcc doesn't get this so we get a spurious warning.

* 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

* eval: Replace with listsetvar with mklocal/setvareqHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces listsetvar with mklocal/setvareq. As we now determine special built-in status prior to variable assignment, we no longer have to do a second pass listsetvar. Instead we will call setvareq directly instead of mklocal when necessary.

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds assignment built-in support that used to exist in dash prior to 0.3.8-15.

* exec: Stricter pathopt parsingHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the parsing of pathopt. First of all only %builtin and %func (with arbitrary suffixes) will be recognised. Any other pathopt will be treated as a normal directory. Furthermore, pathopt can now be specified before the directory, rather than after it. In fact, a future version may remove support for pathopt suffixes. Wherever the pathopt is placed, an optional % may be placed after it to terminate the pathopt. This is so that it is less likely that a genuine directory containing a % sign is parsed as a pathopt. Users of padvance outside of exec.c have also been modified: 1) cd(1) will always treat % characters as part of the path. 2) chkmail will continue to accept arbitrary pathopt. 3) find_dot_file will ignore the %builtin pathopt instead of trying to do a stat in the accompanying directory (which is usually the current directory). The patch also removes the clearcmdentry optimisation where we attempt to only partially flush the table where possible. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

* exec: Do not allocate stack string in padvanceHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | Many callers of padvance immediately free the allocated string so this patch moves the stalloc call to the caller. Instead of returning the allocated string, padvance now returns the length to allocate (this may be longer than the actual string length, even including the NUL).

* 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>
* jobs: Only clear gotsigchld when waiting for everythingHerbert Xu2018-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The gotsigchld flag is always cleared in dowait but not all callers of dowait will wait for everything. In particular, when jp is set we only wait until the set job isn't running anymore. This patch fixes this by only clearing gotsigchld if jp is unset. It also changes the waitcmd to actually set jp which corresponds to the behaviour of bash/ksh93/mksh. The only other caller of dowait that doesn't wait for everything is the jobless reaper. This is in fact redundant now that we wait after every simple command. This patch removes it. Finally as every caller of dowait needs to wait until either the given job is not running, or until all terminated jobs have been processed, this patch moves the loop into dowait itself.

* 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>
* main: Only set savestatus in exitcmdHerbert Xu2018-05-28

* jobs - Do not block when waiting on SIGCHLDHerbert Xu2018-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of the nature of SIGCHLD, the process may have already been waited on and therefore we must be prepared for the case that wait may block. So ensure that it doesn't by using WNOHANG. Furthermore, multiple jobs may have exited when gotsigchld is set. Therefore we need to wait until there are no zombies left. Lastly, waitforjob needs to be called with interrupts off and the original patch broke that. Fixes: 03876c0743a5 ("eval: Reap zombies after built-in...")

However, you're right that this is no longer the case. This patch will remove the persistence of the variable assignment.

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>
* eval: Restore input files in evalcommandHerbert Xu2018-04-19
| | | | | | | | | When evalcommand invokes a command that modifies parsefile and then bails out without popping the file, we need to ensure the input file is restored so that the shell can continue to execute.

* eval: Reap zombies after built-in commands and functionsHerbert Xu2018-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently dash does not reap dead children after built-in commands or functions. This means that if you construct a loop consisting of solely built-in commands and functions, then zombies can hang around indefinitely. This patch fixes this by reaping when necessary after each built-in command and function.

* expand: Fix glibc glob(3) supportHerbert Xu2018-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | 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. In particular, we need to test for GLOB_NOMAGIC | GLOB_NOCHECK instead of GLOB_MAGCHAR. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* 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>
