make /etc/rc interruptible in cases when programs hang with blocked
signals) isn't standard enough.
It is now switched off by default and a new switch -T enables it.
You should update /etc/rc to the version I'm about to commit in a few
minutes to keep it interruptible.
foreground child is running. Formerly, traps were exceuted after the
next child exit.
The enables the user to put a breaking wrapper around a blocking
application:
(trap 'echo trap ; exit 1' 2; ./pestyblocker; echo -n)
The "echo -n" after the child call is needed to prevent sh from
optimizing the trap-executing shell away. I'm working on this.
i.e. this makes emacs usable from system(3). Programs called from
shellscripts are now required to exit with proper signal status. That
means, they have to kill themself. Exiting with faked numerical exit
code is not sufficient.
Exit with proper signal status if script exits on signal.
Make the wait builtin interruptable, both with and without traps set.
Use volatile sig_atomic_t where (and only where) appropriate.
(Almost) fix printing of newlines on SIGINT.
Make traps setable from trap handlers. This is needed for shellscripts
that catch SIGINT for cleanup work but intend to exit on it, hance
have to kill themself from a trap handler. I.e. mkdep.
While I'm at it, make it -Wall clean. -Wall is not enabled in
Makefile, since vararg warnx() macro calls in usr.bin/printf/printf.c
are not -Wall-able.

cast value that was always ignored. Rev.1.9 of trap.c made this
more bogus by returning a semantically different value after calling
siginterrupt(). Avoid these problems by not returning a value.
trap 'echo xxx' 1 2 3 15
read x
is not interrupted by ^C (due to restartable read syscall) and must be
interrupted per POSIX
Worse case:
read -t 5 x
hangs forever after ^C pressed (supposed to timeout after 5 secs)
Fixed by adding siginterrupt(signo, 1) after catch handler installed
2) Do not reinstall sighandler immediately after it is called,
BSD do it for us
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
while remaining (becoming :) compatible with other popular shells.
Specifically these changes include:
1) Implement 'trap -l' to get a list of valid signals names. This
is useful if you wanted to do something like reset all signal
handlers to there defaults values, in which case something like
this will do the trick.
trap `trap -l`
2) Reformat the output of 'trap' so it can be saved and later eval'd
to restore the saved settings.
3) Allow the use of signal names as well as signal numbers.
4) Fix trap handling of SIGCHLD so that commands like the following
(albeit, contrived) won't cause sh(1) to recurse ad infinitum.
trap uname 0 20
5) Make variables static that are used only in trap.c.
6) Minor 'style(9) police' mods.
merge of parallel duplicate work by Steve Price and myself. :-]
There are some changes to the build that are my fault... mkinit.c was
trying (poorly) to duplicate some of the work that make(1) is designed to
do. The Makefile hackery is my fault too, the depend list was incomplete
because of some explicit OBJS+= entries, so mkdep wasn't picking up their
source file #includes.
This closes a pile of /bin/sh PR's, but not all of them..
