Fix command history corruption on syntax error (re: e999f6b1
)
Analysis: When a syntax error occurs, the shell performs a
longjmp(3) back to exfile() in main.c on line 417:
415| if(jmpval)
416| {
417| Sfio_t *top;
418| sh_iorestore((void*)shp,0,jmpval);
419| hist_flush(shp->gd->hist_ptr);
420| sfsync(shp->outpool);
The first thing it does is restore the file descriptor state
(sh_iorestore), then it flushes the history file (hist_flush), then
it synchronises sfio's logical stream state with the physical
stream state using (sfsync).
However, the fix applied in e999f6b1
caused sh_iorestore() to sync
all sfio streams unconditionally. So this was done before
hist_flush(), which caused unpredictable behaviour, including
temporary and/or permanent history corruption, as this also synched
shp->outpool before hist_flush() had a chance to do its thing.
The fix is to only call sfsync() in sh_iorestore() if we're
actually about to call ftruncate(2), and not otherwise.
Moral of the story: bug fixes should be as specific as possible to
minimise the risk of side effects.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c: sh_iorestore():
- Only call sfsync() if we're about to truncate a file.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh:
- Add test.
