TODO for AT&T ksh93, 93u+m bugfix branch
|
||||
|
||||
______
|
||||
Fix or remove broken default aliases:
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove alias times='{ { time;} 2>&1;}' which does not produce POSIX-
|
||||
compliant output; reimplement as a proper POSIX-compliant builtin.
|
||||
In any case, implementing a standard utility as an alias is unacceptable
|
||||
as 'unalias -a' (remove all aliases) should not remove standard utilities!
|
||||
Backport the builtin from the abandoned Vashisht/Rader branch:
|
||||
https://github.com/att/ast/pull/1332
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove alias command='command '. Continuing alias substitution after
|
||||
'command' (due to the final space in the alias) is inherently broken, as
|
||||
aliases may contain arbitrary shell grammar. For instance, when combining
|
||||
this default alias with the default 'times' alias ('command times'), which
|
||||
is perfectly valid per POSIX, you get a syntax error!
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove alias nohup='nohup '. Same reason as for 'command ' above.
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove pointless default aliases 'fc' and 'type'; these are already
|
||||
implemented as normal shell builtins. Add man page entries for these.
|
||||
|
||||
______
|
||||
Fix currently known bugs affecting shell scripting. These are identified by
|
||||
their modernish IDs. For exact details, see code/comments in:
