* Prefer one CHECKSTRSPACE with multiple USTPUTC to multiple STPUTC.
* Add STPUTS macro (based on function) and use it instead of loops that add
nul-terminated strings to the stack string.
No functional change is intended, but code size is about 1K less on i386.
subevalvar() incorrectly assumed that CTLESC bytes were present iff the
expansion was quoted. However, they are present iff various processing such
as word splitting is to be done later on.
Example:
v=@$e@$e@$e@
y="${v##*"$e"}"
echo "$y"
failed if $e contained the magic CTLESC byte.

The code is inspired by NetBSD sh somewhat, but different because we
preserve the old Almquist/Bourne/Korn ability to have an unquoted part in a
quoted ${v+word}. For example, "${v-"*"}" expands to $v as a single field if
v is set, but generates filenames otherwise.
Note that this is the only place where we split text literally from the
script (the similar ${v=word} assigns to v and then expands $v). The parser
must now add additional markers to allow the expansion code to know whether
arbitrary characters in substitutions are quoted.
Example:
for i in ${$+a b c}; do echo $i; done

This Almquist extension was disabled long ago.
In pathname generation, components starting with '!!' were treated as
containing wildcards, causing unnecessary readdir (which could fail, causing
pathname generation to fail while it should not).
The buffer for generated pathnames could be too small in some cases. It
happened to be always at least PATH_MAX long, so there was never an overflow
if the resulting pathnames would be usable.
This bug may be abused if a script subjects input from an untrusted source
to pathname generation, which a bad idea anyhow. Most shell scripts do not
work on untrusted data. secteam@ says no advisory is necessary.

Unless $! has been referenced for a particular job or $! still contains that
job's pid, forget about it after it has terminated. If $! has been
referenced, remember the job until the wait builtin has reported its
completion (either with the pid as parameter or without parameters).
In interactive mode, jobs are forgotten after termination has been reported,
which happens before primary prompts and through the jobs builtin. Even
then, though, remember a job if $! has been referenced.
This is similar to what is suggested by POSIX and should fix most memory
leaks (which also tend to cause sh to use more CPU time) with long running
scripts that start background jobs.
Caveats:
* Repeatedly referencing $! without ever doing 'wait', like
while :; do foo & echo started foo: $!; sleep 60; done
will still use a lot of memory and CPU time in the long run.
* The jobs and jobid builtins do not cause a job to be remembered for longer
like expanding $! does.

These are git commits 36f0fa8fcbc8c7b2b194addd29100fb40e73e4e9 and
d6d06ff5c2ea0fa44becc5ef4340e5f2f15073e4 in dash.
Because this is the first code I'm importing from dash to expand.c, add the
Herbert Xu copyright notice which is in dash's expand.c.
When pathname expanding *\/, the CTLESC representing the quoted state was
erroneously taken as part of the * pathname component. This CTLESC was then
seen by the pattern matching code as escaping the '\0' terminating the
string.
The code is slightly different because dash converts the CTLESC characters
to backslashes and removes all the other CTL* characters to allow
substituting glob(3).
The effect of the bug was also slightly different from dash (where nothing
matched at all). Because a CTLESC can escape a '\0' in some way, whether
files were included despite the bug depended on memory that should not be
read. In particular, on many machines /*\/ expanded to a strict subset of
what /*/ expanded to.
Example:
echo /*"/null"
This should print /dev/null, not /*/null.

This applies to word in ${v-word}, ${v+word}, ${v=word}, ${v?word} (which
inherits quoting from the outside) and in ${v%word}, ${v%%word}, ${v#word},
${v##word} (which does not inherit any quoting).
In all cases tilde expansion is only attempted at the start of word, even if
word contains spaces. This agrees with POSIX and other shells.
This is the last part of the patch tested in the exp-run.

- correctly handle error output in $(builtin 2>&1), clarify out1/out2 vs
output/errout in the code
- treat all builtins as regular builtins so errors do not abort the shell
and variable assignments do not persist
- respect the caller's INTOFF
Some bugs still exist:
- expansion errors may still abort the shell
- some side effects of expansions and builtins persist
That is, do not do tilde expansion if any of the CTL* bytes (\201-\210), not
only CTLESC and CTLQUOTEMARK, are encountered. Such an expansion would look
up a user name with sh's internal representation.
The parser does not currently distinguish between backslashed and
unbackslashed \201-\210, so tilde expansion of user names with these bytes
in them is not so easy to fix.
This seems more useful and will likely be in the next POSIX standard.
Also document more precisely in the man page what set -u does (note that
$@, $* and $! are the only special parameters that can ever be unset, all
the others are always set, although they may be empty).
in particular "$@"$ifschar if the final positional parameter is empty.
With the NetBSD code, adding the $ifschar removes a parameter.

issue a syntax error immediately but save the information that it is erroneous
for later when the parameter expansion is actually done. This means eg. "false
&& ${}" will not generate an error which seems to be required by POSIX.
Include the invalid parameter expansion in the error message (sometimes
abbreviated with ... because recovering it would require a lot of code).

and linting procedure:
1. Remove useless sub-expression:
- if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string && (nulonly || 1))) {
+ if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string)) {
The sub-expression "(nulonly || 1)" always evaluates to true and
according to CVS logs seems to be just a left-over from some
debugging and introduced by accident. Removing the sub-expression
doesn't change semantics and a code inspection showed that the
variable "nulonly" is also not necessary here in any way (and the
expression would require fixing instead of removing).
2. Remove dead code:
- if (backslash && c == '\\') {
- if (read(STDIN_FILENO, &c, 1) != 1) {
- status = 1;
- break;
- }
- STPUTC(c, p);
- } else if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
+ if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
Inspection of the control and data flow showed that variable
"backslash" is always false (0) when the "if"-expression is
evaluated, hence the whole block is effectively dead code.
Additionally, the skipping of characters after a backslash is already
performed correctly a few lines above, so this code is also not
needed at all. According to the CVS logs and the ASH 0.2 sources,
this code existed in this way already since its early days.
3. Cleanup Style:
- ! trap[signo][0] == '\0' &&
+ ! (trap[signo][0] == '\0') &&
The expression wants to ensure the trap is not assigned the empty
string. But the "!" operator has higher precedence than "==", so the
comparison should be put into parenthesis to form the intended way of
expression. Nevertheless the code was effectively not really broken
as both particular NUL comparisons are semantically equal, of course.
But the parenthesized version is a lot more intuitive.
4. Remove shadowing variable declaration:
- char *q;
The declaration of symbol "q" hides another identical declaration of
"q" in the same context. As the other "q" is already reused multiple
times and also can be reused again without negative side-effects,
just remove the shadowing declaration.
5. Just small cosmetics:
- if (ifsset() != 0)
+ if (ifsset())
The ifsset() macro is already coded by returning the boolean result
of a comparison operator, so no need to compare this boolean result
again against a numerical value. This also aligns the macros usage to
the remaining existing code.
