command -x: fix efficiency; always run external cmd (re: acf84e96)
This commit fixes 'command -x' to adapt to OS limitations with
regards to data alignment in the arguments list. A feature test is
added that detects if the OS aligns the argument on 32-bit or
64-bit boundaries or not at all, allowing 'command -x' to avoid
E2BIG errors while maximising efficiency.
Also, as of now, 'command -x' is a way to bypass built-ins and
run/query an external command. Built-ins do not limit the length of
their argument list, so '-x' never made sense to use for them. And
because '-x' hangs on Linux and macOS on every ksh93 release
version to date (see acf84e96), few use it, so there is little
reason not to make this change.
Finally, this fixes a longstanding bug that caused the minimum exit
status of 'command -x' to be 1 if a command with many arguments was
divided into several command invocations. This is done by replacing
broken flaggery with a new SH_XARG state flag bit.
src/cmd/ksh93/features/externs:
- Add new C feature test detecting byte alignment in args list.
The test writes a #define ARG_ALIGN_BYTES with the amount of
bytes the OS aligns arguments to, or zero for no alignment.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/defs.h:
- Add new SH_XARG state bit indicating 'command -x' is active.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c: path_xargs():
- Leave extra 2k in the args buffer instead of 1k, just to be sure;
some commands add large environment variables these days.
- Fix a bug in subtracting the length of existing arguments and
environment variables. 'size -= strlen(cp)-1;' subtracts one less
than the size of cp, which makes no sense; what is necessary is
to substract the length plus one to account for the terminating
zero byte, i.e.: 'size -= strlen(cp)+1'.
- Use the ARG_ALIGN_BYTES feature test result to match the OS's
data alignment requirements.
- path_spawn(): E2BIG: Change to checking SH_XARG state bit.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/whence.c: b_command():
- Allow combining -x with -p, -v and -V with the expected results
by setting P_FLAG to act like 'whence -p'. E.g., as of now,
command -xv printf
is equivalent to
whence -p printf
but note that 'whence' has no equivalent of 'command -pvx printf'
which searches $(getconf PATH) for a command.
- When -x will run a command, now set the new SH_XARG state flag.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c: sh_exec():
- Change to using the new SH_XARG state bit.
- Skip the check for built-ins if SH_XARG is active, so that
'command -x' now always runs an external command.
src/lib/libcmd/date.c, src/lib/libcmd/uname.c:
- These path-bound builtins sometimes need to run the external
system command by the same name, but they did that by hardcoding
an unportable direct path. Now that 'command -x' runs an external
command, change this to using 'command -px' to guarantee using
the known-good external system utility in the default PATH.
- In date.c, fix the format string passed to 'command -px date'
when setting the date; it was only compatible with BSD systems.
Use the POSIX variant on non-BSD systems.
