test/[: Fix binary -a/-o operators in POSIX mode
POSIX requires
test "$a" -a "$b"
to return true if both $a and $b are non-empty, and
test "$a" -o "$b"
to return true if either $a or $b is non-empty.
In ksh, this fails if "$a" is '!' or '(' as this causes ksh to
interpret the -a and -o as unary operators (-a being a file
existence test like -e, and -o being a shell option test).
$ test ! -a ""; echo "$?"
0 (expected: 1/false)
$ set -o trackall; test ! -o trackall; echo "$?"
1 (expected: 0/true)
$ test \( -a \); echo "$?"
ksh: test: argument expected
2 (expected: 0/true)
$ test \( -o \)
ksh: test: argument expected
2 (expected: 0/true)
Unfortunately this problem cannot be fixed without risking breakage
in legacy scripts. For instance, a script may well use
test ! -a filename
to check that a filename is nonexistent. POSIX specifies that this
always return true as it is a test for the non-emptiness of both
strings '!' and 'filename'.
So this commit fixes it for POSIX mode only.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c: e3():
- If the posix option is active, specially handle the case of
having at least three arguments with the second being -a or -o,
overriding their handling as unary operators.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/testops.c:
- Update 'test --man --' date and say that unary -a is deprecated.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Document the fix under the -o posix option.
- For test/[, explain that binary -a/-o are deprecated.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/bracket.sh:
- Add tests based on reproducers in bug report.
