The code to translate the internal representation to text did not know about
various additions to the internal representation since the original ash and
therefore wrote binary stuff to the terminal.
The code is used in the jobs command and similar output.
Note that the output is far from complete and mostly serves for recognition
purposes.
If describing the status of a pipeline, write all elements of the pipeline
and show the status of the last process (which would also end up in $?).
Only write one report per job, not one for every process that exits.
To keep some earlier behaviour, if any process started by the shell in a
foreground job terminates because of a signal, write a message about the
signal (at most one message per job, however).
Also, do not write messages about signals in the wait builtin in
non-interactive shells. Only true foreground jobs now write such messages
(for example, "Terminated").
In r208489, I added code to reap zombies when forking new processes, to
limit the amount of zombies. However, this can lead to marking a job as done
or stopped if it consists of multiple processes and the first process ends
very quickly. Fix this by only checking for zombies before forking the first
process of a job and not marking any jobs without processes as done or
stopped.
The getpgid() call will fail if the first process in the job has already
terminated, resulting in output of "-1".
The pgid of a job is always the pid of the first process in the job and
other code already relies on this.

No functional change is intended, but code size is about 1K less on i386.
If getcwd fails, do not treat this as an error, but print a warning and
unset PWD. This is similar to the behaviour when starting the shell in a

Since is_alpha/is_name/is_in_name were made ASCII-only, this can no longer

Additionally, the check was wrong because it did not include the new

* I do not want to encourage people to write fragile and non-portable echo
commands by making printf much slower than echo.
* Recent versions of Autoconf use it a lot.
* Almost no software still wants to support systems that do not have
printf(1) at all.
* In many other shells printf is already a builtin.
Side effect: printf is now always the builtin version (which behaves
identically to /usr/bin/printf) and cannot be overridden via PATH (except
via the undocumented %builtin mechanism).
Code size increases about 5K on i386. Embedded folks might want to replace
/usr/bin/printf with a hard link to /usr/bin/alias.
The information in sh(1) about the echo builtin is equivalent, though less

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).
In our implementation and most others, a break or continue in a dot script
can break or continue a loop outside the dot script. This should cause all
further commands in the dot script to be skipped. However, cmdloop() did not
know about this and continued to parse and execute commands from the dot
script.
As described in the man page, a return in a dot script in a function returns
from the function, not only from the dot script. There was a similar issue
as with break and continue. In various other shells, the return appears to
return from the dot script, but POSIX seems not very clear about this.
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.

If an ; or & token was followed by an EOF token, pending here-documents were

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

Example (in interactive mode):
cat <<EOF && )
The next command typed caused sh to segfault, because the state for the here
document was not reset.
Like parser_temp, this uses the fact that the parser is not re-entered.
If a command substitution contains a newline token, this no longer starts
here documents of outer commands. This way, we follow POSIX's idea of the
command substitution being a separate script more closely. It also matches
other shells better and is consistent with newline characters in quotes not
starting here documents.
The extension tested in parser/heredoc3.0 ($(cat <<EOF)\ntext\nEOF\n)
continues to be supported.
In particular, this change allows things like
cat <<EOF && echo `pwd`
(a `` command substitution after a here document)
which formerly silently used an empty file as the here document, because the
EOF of the inner command "pwd" also forced an empty here document.
Although "--" historically has not been required to be recognized for
certain special builtins that do not take options in POSIX, some other
implementations recognize options for them, requiring scripts to use "--" or
avoid operands starting with "-".
Operands starting with "-" can be avoided with eval by prepending a space,
and cannot occur with break, continue, exit, return and shift as they only
take numbers, nor with times as it does not take operands. With . and exec,
avoiding "-" is not so easy as it may require reimplementing the PATH
search; therefore the current proposal for POSIX is to require recognition
of "--" for them.
We continue to accept other strings starting with "-" as operands to . and
exec, and also "--" if it is alone to . (which would otherwise be invalid
anyway).

When pathname expanding *\/, the CTLESC representing the quoted state was

seen by the pattern matching code as escaping the '\0' terminating the

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.

Reset the exception handler in the child to main's.
This avoids inappropriate double cleanups or shell duplication when the
exception is caught, such as 'fc' and future 'command eval' and 'command .'.
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.
It is already done by evalcommand(), unless special-ness has been removed,
in which case variable assignments should not persist. (These are currently
always special builtins, but this will change later: command builtin,
command substitution.)
This also fixes a memory leak when calling . with variable assignments.
Example:
valgrind --leak-check=full sh -c 'x=1 . /dev/null; x=2'
- Redirecting fds that were not open before kept two copies of the
redirected file.
sh -c '{ :; } 7>/dev/null; fstat -p $$; true'
(both fd 7 and 10 remained open)
- File descriptors used to restore things after redirection were not
set close-on-exec, instead they were explicitly closed before executing
a program normally and before executing a shell procedure. The latter
must remain but the former is replaced by close-on-exec.
sh -c 'exec 7</; { exec fstat -p $$; } 7>/dev/null; true'
(fd 10 remained open)

sh -c 'echo < /some/fifo; echo This should not be printed'
The fifo should not have writers. When pressing ctrl+c to abort the open,
the shell used to continue with the next command.
Example:
sh -c '/bin/echo < /some/fifo; echo This should not be printed'
Similar. Note, however, that this particular case did not and does not work
in interactive mode with job control enabled.
This avoids weirdness when 'fc -e vi' or the like is done and there is a
syntax error in the file. Formerly an interactive shell tried to execute
stuff after the syntax error and exited.
This should also avoid similar issues with 'command eval' and 'command .'
when 'command' is implemented properly as in NetBSD sh.
Special builtins did not have this problem since errors in them cause the
shell to exit or to reset various state such as the current command input
file.
