# 264423 13-Apr-2014 jilles

MFC r238468: sh: Expand assignment-like words specially for
export/readonly/local.

Examples:
export x=~
now expands the tilde
local y=$1
is now safe, even if $1 contains IFS characters or metacharacters.

For a word to "look like an assignment", it must start with a name followed
by an equals sign, none of which may be quoted.

The special treatment applies when the first word (potentially after
"command") is "export", "readonly" or "local". There may be quoting
characters but no expansions. If "local" is overridden with a function there
is no special treatment ("export" and "readonly" cannot be overridden with a
function).

If things like
local arr=(1 2 3)
are ever allowed in the future, they cannot call a "local" function. This
would either be a run-time error or it would call the builtin.

This matches Austin Group bug #351, planned for the next issue of POSIX.1.

As for the MFC, it is easy to depend on this feature inadvertently, and
adding this fixes a regression from stable/8 that may be apparent in things
like
local x=${y+a @}.

# 223060 13-Jun-2011 jilles

sh: Fix duplicate prototypes for builtins.

Have mkbuiltins write the prototypes for the *cmd functions to builtins.h
instead of builtins.c and include builtins.h in more .c files instead of
duplicating prototypes for *cmd functions in other headers.


# 218324 05-Feb-2011 jilles

sh: Remove clearcmdentry()'s now unused argument.


# 218306 04-Feb-2011 jilles

sh: Remove special code for shell scripts without magic number.

These are called "shell procedures" in the source.

If execve() failed with [ENOEXEC], the shell would reinitialize itself
and execute the program as a script. This requires a fair amount of code
which is not frequently used (most scripts have a #! magic number).
Therefore just execute a new instance of sh (_PATH_BSHELL) to run the
script.


# 204800 06-Mar-2010 jilles

sh: Improve the command builtin:
* avoid unnecessary fork
* allow executing builtins via command
* executing a special builtin via command removes its special properties

Obtained from: NetBSD (parts)


# 201343 31-Dec-2009 jilles

sh: Allow command -pv and command -pV (lookup using _PATH_STDPATH).


# 200967 24-Dec-2009 jilles

sh: Add some __dead2 to indicate functions that do not return.


# 200956 24-Dec-2009 jilles

sh: Constify various strings.

Most of this is adding const keywords, but setvar() in var.c had to be
changed somewhat more.


# 196483 23-Aug-2009 jilles

sh: Fix crash when undefining or redefining a currently executing function.

Add a reference count to function definitions.
Memory may leak if multiple SIGINTs arrive in interactive mode,
this will be fixed later by changing SIGINT handling.

# 157601 09-Apr-2006 stefanf

Implement some of the differences between special built-ins and other builtins
demanded by POSIX.
- A redirection error is only fatal (meaning the execution of a shell script is
terminated) for special built-ins. Previously it was fatal for all shell
builtins, causing problems like the one reported in PR 88845.
- Variable assignments remain in effect for special built-ins.
- Option or operand errors are only fatal for special built-ins.
This change also makes errors from 'fc' non-fatal (I could not find any reasons
for this behaviour).

Somewhat independently from the above down-grade the error handling in the
shift built-in if the operand is bigger than $# from an error() call (which is
now fatal) to a return 1. I'm not sure if this should be considered a POSIX
"operand error", however this change is needed for now as we trigger that error
while building libncurses. Comparing with other shells, zsh does the same as
our sh before this change (write a diagnostic, return 1), bash behaves as our
sh after this commit (no diagnostic, return 1) and ksh93 and NetBSD's sh treat
it as a fatal error.

Forced commit to note the patch for the previous commit was

Submitted by: rodrigc


# 151810 28-Oct-2005 stefanf

Add the POSIX options -v and -V to the 'command' builtin. Both describe the
type of their argument, if it is a shell function, an alias, a builtin, etc.
-V is more verbose than -v.

# 117261 05-Jul-2003 dds

Changes following CScout analysis:

- Removed dead declarations
- Made objects that should have been declared as static, static.

The changes use STATIC instead of static, following the existing
convention in the rest of the code.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

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.

# 17987 01-Sep-1996 peter

Merge of 4.4-Lite2 sh source, plus some gcc -Wall cleaning. This is a
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..
