Log Message:
Update mksh to R35b.
mksh R35b comes with the following bug fixes:
IRIX also has no UTF-8 locale at all, confirmed by Elias Pipping
Fix regression test suite for MKSH_SMALL
Bring in latest changes from oksh (OpenBSD ksh, not DeliLinux crap)
Fix abuse and unsafe use of str_save() and str_nsave()
Optimise the implementations of str_save() and str_nsave()
If MKSH_AFREE_DEBUG is defined, guard against afree()ing a pointer which has not \
been allocated from the given pool, from Todd C. Miller
Fix attempt to free a pointer to stack (function-local) storage when redefining \
a function containing a call to the âtimeâ built-in, discovered by \
Elias Pipping, patch by Jared Yanovich, help from Todd C. Miller
Protect a little against people not running â./test.sh -vâ but calling \
it with, for instance, GNU bash (as homsn didâ¦)
Honour $PERL environment variable in test.sh, improve scanning for Perl, do not \
use potentially undefined $^O, print Perl version
Add <sys/types.h> as <ulimit.h> requirement (dietlibc)
Work around bug in BSD/OS 3.1 /bin/ksh (PD KSH v5.2.8 96/08/19)
Add regression tests from OpenBSDâs <bsd.regress.mk> suite
Use better CPPFLAGS for AIX, Minix 3 (from pdksh)
Expose the âs â NULLâ str_[n]save_() API and use it where the \
string can never be NULL (local stack storage), from gcc-4.2 warnings
Clean up pointer-to-integer-cast warnings in the mirtoconf process
mksh R35 comes with helluva changes:
Simplify and refactor the ulimit builtin, partially from oksh
Some style cleanup; use appropriate integer types
Fix a bug in table (e.g. kill -l, tab completion) display: the width of \
non-ASCII characters is now honoured in the utf8-hack mode
Improve handling of invalid UTF-8 in certain areas, and multibyte (UTF-8 / \
CESU-8) in general
When using âtypeset -Z«n»â on an integer variable with a base \
other than ten, zero-pad the value instead of the base â pdksh, oksh, zsh, \
and AT&T ksh93 are wrong here; GNU bash doesnât even have typeset
Improve parsing of âset +oâ output where done (dot.mkshrc, check.t)
Improve regression tests
Support for base-1 numbers: in non-utf8-hack mode, â1#xâ means the \
same as the ASCII code for âxâ (e.g. 78hex), where âxâ is \
any single octet (byte); in utf8-hack mode, âxâ is either a valid and \
minimalistically encoded UTF-8 multibyte character in the range 0000â¥FFFD, \
or a single octet with no trailing octets (bytes), which will then be converted \
as if it were an ASCII value, or, if bit7 is set, be mapped into the PUA range \
of EF80â¥EFFF assigned by CSUR for this purpose; this mapping is, in both \
cases, bidirectional; the planned base-0 number support is not possible with the \
code, so use base-1 (with utf8-hack disabled, or & 0xFF) instead (while it \
is recommended to parse only single octets, there is a regression test showing \
correct and safe multibyte parsing, which however is error-prone to implement \
and thusly not recommended) â âgenialâ replaced@TNG, âthis \
sounds funâ ggergely, agreed bsiegert@ and others
Pull in more current versions of supplied files; use Unicode 5.0
Clean up unused definitions in build system; document MKSH_CLS_STRING
Remove advertising clause from copyright file; while weâd be pleased to be \
mentioned if something contains our code, tg@ will no longer enforce the \
requirement to advertise with that specific formula, and weâd prefer if \
people remember the OpenHAL vs ath5k incident and that they cannot simply change \
licencing of existing code; patches sent to the MirOS Project for inclusion \
shall be accepted if theyâre agreed to match this licence
Simplify dot.mkshrc sample file: licence is merged into the main copyright file; \
AT&T ksh93 compatibility was improved
Fix a display problem regarding fullwidth characters (e.g. CJK)
Set the âCâ locale in Build.sh for tool execution; otherwise, certain \
OEs behave strange; thanks to Adam âreplacedâ Hoka for spotting
Use en_US.utf8 as UTF-8 locale for the testsuite for now
If setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") is not available, look at the environment \
variables ourselves â brings UTF-8 support to poor OSes
Remove some now-dead code; speed up configuration process; shrink
Default to no setlocale(3) due to stubbed or missing locale support on \
GNU/Cygwin, OpenBSD, OSF/1 in Build.sh; a few more that are quite unlikely to \
have a UTF-8 locale: BSD/OS, Interix, Minix, PW32, Ultrix, AT&T UWIN; \
default to always UTF-8 on Plan 9
Fix for testsuite unexpected failure if running as root in one case
Initialise all shell integer variables (OPTIND, PPID, RANDOM, SECONDS, TMOUT) to \
base 10
Reintroduce from mksh pre-R24 shell integer variable PGRP set to the PID of the \
process group leader via getpgrp(2)
New shell integer variable USER_ID set to the geteuid(2) and used by dot.mkshrc \
to speed up logins, saves a spawn of id(1), mentioned by and realisation planned \
with Andreas "gecko2" Gockel
Fix dot.mkshrc tilde replacement in both $PS1 and the pushd/popd/dirs \
implementation when the home directory is empty, the root directory, or ends \
with a slash (disable replacement in that case)
Support dietlibc, force it into providing a BSDish caddr_t
Do not use LDFLAGS and LIBS while compiling with -c
Add realpath(3) builtin, to further speed up logins and chdirs
Optimise the code somewhat by making use of possible assumptions
Set the âCâ locale in test.sh as well to quell warnings
Split the regression tests that use locale between en_US.utf8 and en_US.UTF-8, \
since not all OSes support either one, and make only HP-UX and GNU use the \
latter
Fix kill, mknod(8) builtin usage msg, from Igor Sobrado via oksh
Use proper ptrdiff_t casts for pointer arithmetics, inspired by an oksh commit \
from Federico Schwindt
Remove check category âpdkshâ from check.t and test script
Improve Darwin, OSF/1, HP aCC, SUNpro version reporting
Support GNU bash â&>â extension, even better than they do, \
suggested by Lukas âsmultronâ Upton from MidnightBSD
Basic support for LLVM+clang in the build system with experimental \
âcccâ compiler driver; llvm-gcc worked as-is before already
Better support for contributed arc4random.c file
Do not spin if unlink(2) fails on $HISTFILE, from Decklin Foster
Dump the perl(1) $^O variable in test.sh to logs
Pull in latest changes from oksh
Allow white space between a here string indicator and the string, accidentally \
discovered by twkm (#ksh, freenode)
Allow fd specifications outside the 0â¥9 range for I/O redirections, and \
bounds check them to be lower than the FDBASE definition, currently still 10 if \
MKSH_SMALL, 24 otherwise (unportable)
Improve the regression test suite: for one test, we had a bizarre constraint \
telling it wonât work on UWIN, which was based upon false assumptions, but \
Tru64 would fail it since its cat(1) unexpectedly outputs some error messages \
(fix by closing stderr for cat); another test would unexpectedly print no error \
message on Solaris (fix by making the error message optional in the perlre(1) \
used)
Switch back to en_US.UTF-8 for glibc, Debian can do both, Mandriva fails on \
en_US.utf8 (XXX no libc5 auto-detection to disable it)
