POSIX used to require the current dash behaviour. However, you're
right that this is no longer the case.
This patch will remove the persistence of the variable assignment.
I have considered the exporting the variables during the function
execution but have decided against it because:
1) It makes the code bigger.
2) dash has never done this in the past.
3) You cannot use this portably anyway.

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.
This patch also fixes a corner case where a bad substitution error
occurs within arithmetic 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. This patch
fixes it so that this construct only fails during expansion rather
than during parsing.

I think the simple fact that it came up here is evidence that this is
too jargony for a manual. Patch attached.

Here is a better example:
a="/*/\nullx" b="/*/\null"; printf "%s\n" $a $b
dash currently prints
/*/\nullx
/*/\null
bash prints
/*/\nullx
/dev/null
You may argue the bash behaviour is inconsistent but it actually
makes sense. 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.

I've attached a patch which adds the subdir-objects option to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
For a while now when I've compiled dash I received a warning from
automake that there are source files in a subdirectory but that the
subdir-objects automake option was not supplied. I've just been adding
it myself, but I finally got around to submitting a patch. The code
still compiles for now (i'm using automake 1.15.1), but warning text
is rarely nice to see and, if the warning text is to be believed, then
the warning will eventually become an error.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Currently echocmd uses print_escape_str to do everything apart
from printing the spaces/newlines separating its arguments. This
patch moves the actual printing into print_escape_str as well
using the format parameter.

The commit d6c0e1e2ffbf7913ab69d51cc794d48d41c8fcb1 ("[BUILTIN]
Handle embedded NULs correctly in printf") caused a performance
regression in the echo built-in because every echo call now goes
through the printf %b slow path where the string is always printed
twice to ensure the space padding is correct in the presence of
NUL characters. In fact this regression applies to printf %b as
well.
This is easily fixed by making printf %b take the fast path when
no precision/field width modifiers are present.
This patch also changes the second strchurnul call to strspn which
generates slightly better code.

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.
This patch fixes both problems.

This is actually composed of two bugs. First of all our tracking
of quotemark is wrong so anything after "$@" becomes quoted. Once
we fix that then the problem is that the first space character
after "$@" is not recognised as an IFS.
This patch fixes both.
