Like tdump() and trestore() before commit 32d1abb1, sh_deparse() fails
to handle process substitutions correctly. This limitation of the shell
deparser is rather minor since it's unused. However, seeing as the
deparser was left in the code base intentionally it should at least
function properly.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/deparse.c:
- Add a PROCSUBST flag for handling process substitutions in
sh_deparse().
- If we're handling a process substitution, add an ending ')'
without an extra newline.
- Avoid adding an extra ' &' to commands inside of a process
substitution. An extra ' &' is only added if the FAMP and FINT
flags are set, which indicates the command was spawned as a separate
job with '&'.
- Add process substitution handling to 'p_redirect' by calling p_tree()
when encountering a process substitution.
This commit implements unsetting functions in virtual subshells,
removing the need for the forking workaround. This is done by
either invalidating the function found in the current subshell
function tree by unsetting its NV_FUNCTION attribute bits (which
will cause sh_exec() to skip it) or, if the function exists in a
parent shell, by creating an empty dummy subshell node in the
current function tree without that attribute.
As a beneficial side effect, it seems that bug 228 (unset -f fails
in forked subshells if a function is defined before forking) is now
also fixed.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/defs.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c:
- Add sh.fun_base for a saved pointer to the main shell's function
tree for checking when in a subshell, analogous to sh.var_base.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c: unall():
- Remove the fork workaround.
- When unsetting a function found in the current function tree
(troot) and that tree is not sh.var_base (which checks if we're
in a virtual subshell in a way that handles shared-state command
substitutions correctly), then do not delete the function but
invalidate it by unsetting its NV_FUNCTION attribute bits.
- When unsetting a function not found in the current function tree,
search for it in sh.fun_base and if found, add an empty dummy
node to mask the parent shell environment's function. The dummy
node will not have NV_FUNCTION set, so sh_exec() will skip it.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c:
- sh_subfuntree(): For 'unset -f' to work correctly with
shared-state command substitutions (subshares), this function
needs a fix similar to the one applied to sh_assignok() for
variables in commit 911d6b06. Walk up on the subshells tree until
we find a non-subshare.
- sh_subtracktree(): Apply the same fix for the hash table.
- Remove table_unset() and incorporate an updated version of its
code in sh_subshell(). As of ec888867, this function was only
used to clean up the subshell function table as the alias table
no longer exists.
- sh_subshell():
* Simplify the loop to free the subshell hash table.
* Add table_unset() code, slightly refactored for readability.
Treat dummy nodes now created by unall() separately to avoid a
memory leak; they must be nv_delete()d without passing the
NV_FUNCTION bits. For non-dummy nodes, turn on the NV_FUNCTION
attribute in case they were invalidated by unall(); this is
needed for _nv_unset() to free the function definition.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/subshell.sh:
- Update the test for multiple levels of subshell functions to test
a subshare as well. While we're add it, add a very similar test
for multiple levels of subshell variables that was missing.
- Add @JohnoKing's reproducer from #228.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/leaks.sh:
- Add leak tests for unsetting functions in a virtual subshell.
Test both the simple unset case (unall() creates a dummy node)
and the define/unset case (unall() invalidates existing node).

Noteworthy changes:
- The man pages have been updated to fix a ton of instances of
runaway underlining (this was done with `sed -i 's/\\f5/\\f3/g'`
commands). This commit dramatically increased in size because
of this change.
- The documentation for spawnveg(3) has been extended with
information about its usage of posix_spawn(3) and vfork(2).
- The documentation for tmfmt(3) has been updated with the changes
previously made to the man pages for the printf and date builtins
(though the latter builtin is disabled by default).
- The shell's tracked alias tree (hash table) is now documented in
the shell(3) man page.
- Removed the commented out regression test for an ERRNO variable
as the COMPATIBILITY file states it was removed in ksh93.
There is a TODO note in variables.sh that notes the value of LINENO
is wrong after a virtual subshell. The following script should
print '6', but the bug causes it to print '1' instead:
$ cat /tmp/lineno
#!/bin/ksh
(
unset LINENO
:
)
echo $LINENO
This bug started to occur after the bugfix applied in 7b994b6a.
However, that commit is not where the cause of bug was (when that
bugfix is applied to ksh versions 2008-07-25 through 2012-01-01,
$LINENO works fine). Rather, the cause of this bug was introduced
in 93u+ 2012-02-29. In that version, the mp->nvfun pointer was only
copied from np->nvfun if the variable can be freed from memory.
This is what caused 7b994b6a to break $LINENO in subshells, so to
fix this bug the mp->nvfun and np->nvfun must point to the same
object, even when the variable isn't freed from memory.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c: nv_restore():
- Always copy the np->nvfun pointer to mp->nvfun. To prevent
crashes, the value of np->nvfun->nofree is set to the value given
by the nofree variable, which is set before _nv_unset. See also
commit 7e7f1372, which fixed a crash that happened because
_nv_unset discards the NV_NOFREE flag.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Remove the workaround for LINENO after a virtual subshell.
- Add a regression test for the value of LINENO when unset in a
virtual subshell, then used after the subshell. Note that before
commit 997ad43b LINENO's value was corrupted after being unset in
a subshell, so the test checks for corruption of the LINENO
variable (in prior commits LINENO was set to '49' because of the
previous bug).
The changes in this commit allow ksh to be built and run with
ASan[*], although for now it only works under vmalloc. Example
command to build ksh with ASan:
$ bin/package make CCFLAGS='-O0 -g -fsanitize=address'
[*] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AddressSanitizer
src/cmd/INIT/mamake.c:
- Fix a few memory leaks in mamake. This doesn't fix all of the
memory leaks ASan complains about (there is one remaining in the
view() function), but it's enough to get ksh to build under ASan.
src/lib/libast/features/map.c,
src/lib/libast/misc/glob.c:
- Rename the ast globbing functions to _ast_glob() and
_ast_globfree(). Without this change the globbing tests fail
under ASan. See: 2c49eb6e
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/{init,io,nvtree,subshell}.c:
- Fix buffer overflows by using strncmp(3) instead of memcmp(3).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c:
- Fix another invalid usage of memcmp by using strncmp instead.
This change is also in one of Red Hat's patches:

The commands within a process substitution used as an argument to a
redirection (e.g. < <(...) or > >(...)) are simply not included in
parse trees dumped by shcomp. This can be verified with a command
like hexdump -C. As a result, these process substitutions do not
work when running a bytecode-compiled shell script.
The fix is surprisingly simple. A process substitution is encoded
as a complete parse tree. When used with a redirection, that parse
tree is used as the file name for the redirection. All we need to
do is treat the "file name" as a parse tree instead of a string if
flags indicate a process substitution.
A process substitution is detected by the struct ionod field
'iofile'. Checking the IOPROCSUB bit flag is not enough. We also
need to exclude the IOLSEEK flag as that form of redirection may
use the IOARITH flag which has the same bit value as IOPROCSUB (see
include/shnodes.h).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/tdump.c: p_redirect():
- Call p_tree() instead of p_string() for a process substitution.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/trestore.c: r_redirect():
- Call r_tree() instead of r_string() for a process substitution.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/version.h:
- Bump the shcomp binary header version as this change is not
backwards compatible; previous trestore.c versions don't know how
to read the newly compiled process substitutions and would crash.

While automagically importing/exporting ksh variable attributes via
the environment is probably a misfeature in general (now disabled
for POSIX standard mode), doing so with the readonly attribute is
particularly problematic. Scripts can take into account the
possibility of importing unwanted attributes by unsetting or
typesetting variables before using them. But there is no way for a
script to get rid of an unwanted imported readonly variable. This
is a possible attack vector with no possible mitigation.
This commit blocks both the import and the export of the readonly
attribute through the environment. I consider it a security fix.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c: env_import_attributes():
- Clear NV_RDONLY from imported attributes before applying them.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c: sh_envgen():
- Remove NV_RDONLY from bitmask defining attributes to export.
There were still problems left after the previous commit. On at
least one system (QNX i386), the following regression test crashed:
src/cmd/ksh93/test/subshell.c
900 got=$( { "$SHELL" -c '(cd /; (cd /)); print -r -- "PWD=$PWD"'; } 2>&1 )
A backtrace done on the core dunp pointed to the free() call here:
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/cd_pwd.c
90 if(oldpwd && oldpwd!=shp->pwd && oldpwd!=e_dot)
91 free(oldpwd);
Analysis: The interaction between $PWD, sh.pwd aka shp->pwd, and
the path_pwd() function is a mess. path_pwd() usually returns a
freeable value, but not always. sh.pwd is sometimes a pointer to
the value of $PWD, but not always (e.g. when you unset PWD or
assign to it). Instead of debugging the exact cause of the crash, I
think it is better to make this work in a more consistent way.
As of this commit:
1. sh.pwd keeps its own copy of the PWD, independently of the PWD
variable. The old value must always be freed immediately before
assigning a new one. This is simple and consistent, reducing the
chance of bugs at negligible cost.
2. The PWD variable is no longer given the NV_NOFREE attribute
because its value no longer points to sh.pwd. It is now a
variable like any other.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c: path_pwd():
- Do not give PWDNOD the NV_NOFREE attribute.
- Give sh.pwd its own copy of the PWD by strdup'ing PWDNOD's value.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/cd_pwd.c: b_cd():
- Since sh.pwd is now consistently freed before giving it a new
value and at no other time, oldpwd must not be freed any longer
and can become a regular non-static variable.
- If the PWD needs reinitialising, call path_pwd() to do it.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c: sh_subshell():
- Systems with fchdir(2): Always restore the PWD upon exiting a
non-subshare subshell. The check to decide whether or not to
restore it was unsafe: it was not restored if the current PWD
pointer and value was identical to the saved one, but a directory
can be deleted and recreated under the same name.
- Systems without fchdir(2) (if any exist):
. Entry: Fork if the PWD is nonexistent or has no x permission.
. Restore: Only chdir back if the subshell PWD was changed.
That's probably the best we can do. It remains inherently unsafe.
We should probably just require fchdir(2) at some point.
This commit fixes what are hopefully the two final aspects of #153:
1. If the present working directory does not exist (was moved or
deleted) upon entering a virtual subshell, no PWD directory path
is saved. Since restoring the state after exiting a virtual
subshell is contingent on a previous PWD path existing, this
resulted in entire aspects of the virtual subshell, such as the
subshell function tree, not being cleaned up.
2. A separate problem is that 'cd ..' does not update PWD or OLDPWD
when run from a nonexistent directory.
A reproducer exposing both problems is:
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ ksh -c '(subfn() { BAD; }; cd ..; echo subPWD==$PWD);
typeset -f subfn; echo mainPWD==$PWD'
subPWD==/usr/local/src/ksh93/ksh/test
subfn() { BAD; };mainPWD==/usr/local/src/ksh93/ksh/test
Expected output:
subPWD==/usr/local/src/ksh93/ksh
mainPWD==/usr/local/src/ksh93/ksh/test
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/cd_pwd.c:
- If path_pwd() fails to get the PWD (usually it no longer exists),
don't set $OLDPWD to '.' as that is pointless; use $PWD instead.
After cd'ing from a nonexistent directory, 'cd -' *should* fail
and should not be equivalent to 'cd .'.
- Remove a redundant check for (!oldpwd) where it is always set.
- Do not prematurely return without setting PWD or OLDPWD if
pathcanon() fails to canonicalise a nonexistent directory.
Instead, fall back to setting PWD to the result of getcwd(3).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c:
- Minor stylistic adjustment. Some NULL macros sneaked in. This
historic code base does not use them (yet); change to NIL(type*).
- sh_subshell(): Fix logic for determining whether to save/restore
subshell state.
1. When saving, 'if(!comsub || !shp->subshare)' is redundant;
'if(!shp->subshare)' should be enough. If we're not in a
subshare, state should be saved.
2. When restoring, 'if(sp->shpwd)' is just nonsense as there is
no guarantee that the PWD exists upon entering a subshell.
Simply use the same 'if(!shp->subshare)'. Add an extra check
for sp->pwd to avoid a possible segfault. Always restore the
PWD on subshell exit and not only if shp->pwd is set.
- sh_subshell(): Issue fatal errors in libast's "panic" format.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Adjust a relevant test to run err_exit() outside of the subshell
so that any error is counted in the main shell.
- Add test for problem 2 described at the top.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/subshell.sh:
- Add test for problems 1 and 2 based on reproducer above.

Accessing t->tre.treio for every sh_exec() run is invalid because
't' is of type Shnode_t, which is a union that can contain many
different kinds of structs. As all members of a union occupy the
same address space, only one can be used at a time. Which member is
valid to access depends on the node type sh_exec() was called with.
The invalid access triggered a crash on 32-bit systems when
executing an arithmetic command like ((x=1)).
The t->tre.treio union member should be accessed for a simple
command (case TCOM in sh_exec()). The fix is also needed for
redirections attached to blocks (case TSETIO) in which case the
union member to use is t->fork.forkio.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Add check_exec_optimization() function that checks for all the
conditions where the exec optimisation should not be done. For
redirections we need to loop through the whole list to check for
an IOREWRITE (<>;) one.
- sh_exec(): case TCOM (simple command): Only bother to call
check_exec_optimization() if there are either command arguments
or redirections (IOW: don't bother for bare variable
assignments), so move it to within the if(io||argn) block.
- sh_exec(): case TSETIO: This needs a similar fix. To avoid the
optimization breaking again if the last command is a subshell
with a <>; redirection attached, we need to not only set execflg
to 0 but also clear the SH_NOFORK state bit from the 'flags'
variable which is passed on to the recursive sh_exec() call.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Update and expand tests. Add tests for redirections attached to
simple commands (TCOM) and various kinds of code block (TSETIO).

The <>; operator doesn't work correctly if it's used as the last
command of a -c script. Reproducer:
$ echo test > a; ksh -c 'echo x 1<>; a'; cat a
x
st
This bug is caused by ksh running the last command of -c scripts
with execve(2) instead of posix_spawn(3) or fork(2). The <>;
operator is noted by the man page as being incompatible with the
exec builtin (see also the ksh93u+ man page), so it's not
surprising this bug occurs when ksh runs a command using execve:
> <>;word cannot be used with the exec and redirect built-ins.
The ksh2020 fix simply removed the code required for ksh to use
this optimization at all. It's not a performance friendly fix and
only papers over the bug, so this commit provides a better fix.
This bug was first reported at:
https://github.com/att/ast/issues/9
In addition, this commit re-enables the execve(2) optimization for
the last command for scripts loaded from a file. It was enabled in
in older ksh versions, and was only disabled in interactive shells:
https://github.com/ksh93/ast-open-history/blob/2011-06-30/src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c#L593-L599
It was changed on 2011-12-24 to only be used for -c scripts:
https://github.com/ksh93/ast-open-history/blob/2011-12-24/src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c#L593-L599
We think there is no good reason why scripts loaded from a file
should be optimised less than scripts loaded from a -c argument.
They're both scripts; there's no essential difference between them.
So this commit reverts that change. If there is a bug left in the
optimization after this fix, this revert increases the chance of
exposing it so that it can be fixed.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- The IOREWRITE flag is set when handling the <>; operator, so to
fix this bug, avoid exec'ing the last command if it uses <>;. See
also commit 17ebfbf6, which fixed another issue related to the
execve optimization.

This is the underlying cause for the issue worked around in
3654ee73.
The following explanation refers to the current illumos version of
ksh93 and shows output from illumos' modular debugger:
https://illumos.org/books/dev/debugging.html
Each environment variable (name/value pair) has a linked list of
disciplines attached to it, and at the end of that list there is
optionally a shell context pointer. For example, for the EDITOR
variable:
> ::bp libshell.so.1`put_ed
> ::run
$
$ EDITOR=vim
> ::stack ! head -1
libshell.so.1`put_ed+0x14(e06208, e01c58, 0, dced90)
> e06208::print Namval_t
{
nvname = 0xfffffbffeec40a0e "EDITOR"
nvfun = 0xdced90
nvalue = 0
}
> e06208::print Namval_t nvfun | ::print Namfun_t
{
disc = libshell.so.1`EDITOR_disc
next = libshell.so.1`sh+0x710
}
Here, the EDITOR Namval_t has a discipline stack containing
EDITOR_disc and &Shell_t.nvfun.
The problem arises when a new discipline is pushed onto the stack,
such as when using typeset -u to add an upper-case translation
discipline.
$ typeset -u EDITOR
> e06208::print Namval_t
{
nvname = 0xfffffbffeec40a0e "EDITOR"
nvfun = 0xdced90
nvalue = 0xe0fdb0 "vim"
}
> e06208::print Namval_t nvfun | ::print Namfun_t
{
disc = libshell.so.1`EDITOR_disc
next = 0xdc27a0
}
> e06208::print Namval_t nvfun | ::print Namfun_t next | ::print Namfun_t
{
disc = libshell.so.1`TRANS_disc
next = 0
}
TRANS_disc has been pushed onto the end of the discipline stack,
but the shell handle has been lost.
With this change, the attributes and variables tests pass (this is
on illumos where this change originates).
Path-bound builtins on ksh (such as /opt/ast/bin/cat) break some
basic assumptions about paths in the shell that should hold true,
e.g., that a path output by whence -p or command -v should actually
point to an executable command. This commit should fix the
following:
1. Path-bound built-ins (such as /opt/ast/bin/cat) can now be
executed by invoking the canonical path (independently of the
value of $PATH), so the following will now work as expected:
$ /opt/ast/bin/cat --version
version cat (AT&T Research) 2012-05-31
$ (PATH=/opt/ast/bin:$PATH; "$(whence -p cat)" --version)
version cat (AT&T Research) 2012-05-31
In the event an external command by that path exists, the
path-bound builtin will now override it when invoked using the
canonical path. To invoke a possible external command at that
path, you can still use a non-canonical path, e.g.:
/opt//ast/bin/cat or /opt/ast/./bin/cat
2. Path-bound built-ins will now also be found on a PATH set
locally using an assignment preceding the command, so something
like the following will now work as expected:
$ PATH=/opt/ast/bin cat --version
version cat (AT&T Research) 2012-05-31
The builtin is not found by sh_exec() because the search for
builtins happens long before invocation-local preceding
assignments are processsed. This only happens in sh_ntfork(),
before forking, or in sh_fork(), after forking. Both sh_ntfork()
and sh_fork() call path_spawn() to do the actual path search, so
a check there will cover both cases.
This does mean the builtin will be run in the forked child if
sh_fork() is used (which is the case on interactive shells with
job.jobcontrol set, or always after compiling with SHOPT_SPAWN
disabled). Searching for it before forking would mean
fundamentally redesigning that function to be basically like
sh_ntfork(), so this is hard to avoid.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c: path_spawn():
- Before doing anything else, check if the passed path appears in
the builtins tree as a pathbound builtin. If so, run it. Since a
builtin will only be found if a preceding PATH assignment
temporarily changed the PATH, and that assignment is currently in
effect, we can just sh_run() the builtin so a nested sh_exec()
invocation will find and run it.
- If 'spawn' is not set (i.e. we must return), set errno to 0 and
return -2. See the change to sh_ntfork() below.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- sh_exec(): When searching for built-ins and the restricted option
isn't active, also search bltin_tree for names beginning with a
slash.
- sh_ntfork(): Only throw an error if the PID value returned is
exactly -1. This allows path_spawn() to return -2 after running a
built-in to tell sh_ntfork() to do the right things to restore
state.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c: simple():
- When searching for built-ins at parse time, only exclude names
containing a slash if the restricted option is active. This
allows finding pointers to built-ins invoked by literal path like
/opt/ast/bin/cat, as long as that does not result from an
expansion. This is not actually necessary as sh_exec() will also
cover this case, but it is an optimisation.
src/lib/libcmd/getconf.c:
- Replace convoluted deferral to external command by a simple
invocation of the path to the native getconf command determined
at compile time (by src/lib/libast/comp/conf.sh). Based on:
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/138#issuecomment-816384871
If there is ever a system that has /opt/ast/bin/getconf as its
default native external 'getconf', then there would still be an
infinite recursion crash, but this seems extremely unlikely.

when using the -c execve(2) optimization or when using fork(2) in
an interactive shell. However, using posix_spawn(3) causes the exit
status to change:
$ echo 'print cannot execute' > /tmp/x
# Runs command with spawnveg (i.e., posix_spawn or vfork)
$ ksh -c 'PATH=/tmp; x; echo $?'
ksh: x: not found
127
# Runs command with execve
$ ksh -c 'PATH=/tmp; x'; echo $?
ksh: x: cannot execute [Permission denied]
126
# Runs command with fork
$ ksh -ic 'PATH=/tmp; x; echo $?'
ksh: x: cannot execute [Permission denied]
126
Since 'x' is in the PATH but can't be executed, the correct exit
status is 126, not 127. It's worth noting this bug doesn't cause
the regression tests to fail with ksh93u+m, but it does cause one
test to fail when run under dtksh:
path.sh[706]: Long nonexistent command name: got status 126, ''
This commit backports various fixes for this bug from ksh2020, with
additional fixes applied (since there were still some additional
issues the ksh2020 patch didn't fix). The lacking regression test
for exit status 126 in path.sh has been rewritten to test for more
scenarios where ksh failed to return the correct error message
and/or exit status. I can also confirm with this patch applied the
path.sh regression tests now pass when run under dtksh.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c:
- Add a comment to path_absolute() describing 'oldpp' is the
current pointer in the while loop and 'pp' is the next pointer.
Backported from:
a6cad450
- The patch from ksh2020 didn't fix this bug in the SHOPT_SPAWN
code (because ksh2020 prefers fork(2)), so issues with the exit
status could still occur when using spawnveg. To fix this, always
set 'noexec' to the value of errno if can_execute fails. Before
this fix, errno was discarded if 'pp' was a null pointer and
can_execute failed.
- If a command couldn't be executed and the error wasn't ENOENT,
save errno in a 'not_executable' variable. If an executable
command couldn't be found in the PATH, exit with status 126 and
set errno to the saved value. This was based on a ksh2020 bugfix,
but it has been reworked a little bit to fix a bug that caused a
mismatch between the error message shown and errno. Example with
a non-executable file in PATH:
$ nonexec
ksh2020: nonexec: cannot execute [No such file or directory]
The ksh2020 patch: <https://github.com/att/ast/pull/493>
- Backport a ksh2020 bugfix for directories in the PATH when
running one of the added regression tests on OpenBSD:

src/cmd/ksh93/data/msg.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/include/shell.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/{path,xec}.c:
- If a command name is too long (ENAMETOOLONG), then it wasn't
found in the PATH. For that case return exit status 127, like
for ENOENT.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/path.sh:
- Replace the old test with a new set of more extensive tests.
These tests check the error message and exit status when ksh
attempts to run a command using any of the following:
- execve(2), used with the last command run with -c (*A tests).
- posix_spawn(3)/vfork(2), used in noninteractive scripts (*B tests).
- fork(2), used in interactive shells with job control (*C tests).
- command -x (*D tests).
- exec(1) (*E tests).
- Add a regression test from ksh2020 for attempting to execute a
directory:
https://github.com/att/ast/pull/758
src/lib/libast/include/ast.h,
src/lib/libast/include/wait.h:
- Avoid bitshifts in macros for static error codes. The return
values of command not found and exec related errors are static
values and should not require any macro magic for calculation.
Backported from: c073b102
- Simplify EXIT_* and W* macros to use 8 bits.
This commit fixes a segmentation fault when an attempt was made to
unset the default KSH_VERSION variable prior any other nameref
activity such as creating another nameref or even reassigning the
nameref KSH_VERSION to something else.
(new shell without prior nameref activity)
$ nameref
KSH_VERSION=.sh.version
$ unset -n KSH_VERSION
Memory fault
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c: _nv_unset():
- Add a 'Refdict' check before attempting to remove a value from it
as apparently one does not exist until some sort of nameref
activity occurs after shell startup as the default nameref of
'KSH_VERSION=.sh.version' does not create one.
The bugfix for BUG_CMDSPASGN backported in commit fae8862c caused
two regressions with the += operator:
1. The += operator did not append to variables. Reproducer:
$ integer foo=3
$ foo+=2 command eval 'echo $foo'
2
2. The += operator ignored the readonly attribute, modifying readonly
variables in the same manner as above. Reproducer
$ readonly bar=str
$ bar+=ing command eval 'echo $bar'
ing
Both of the regressions above were caused by nv_putval() failing to
clone the variable from the previous scope into the invocation-local
scope. As a result, 'foo+=2' was effectively 0 + 2 (since ksh didn't
clone 3). The first regression was noticed during the development of
ksh93v-, so to fix both bugs I've backported the bugfix for the
regression from the ksh93v- 2013-10-10 alpha version:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-users@lists.research.att.com/msg00369.html
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c:
- To fix both of the bugs above, find the variable to modify with
nv_search(), then clone it into the invocation local scope. To
fix the readonly bug as well, this is done before the NV_RDONLY
check (otherwise np will be missing that attribute and be
incorrectly modified in the invocation-local scope).
- Update a nearby comment describing what sh_assignok() does (per this
comment: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/pull/249#issuecomment-811381759)
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add regression tests for both of the now fixed regressions,
loosely based on the regression tests in ksh93v-.
The recursion level for arithmetic expressions is kept track of in
a static 'level' variable in streval.c. It is reset when arithmetic
expressions throw an error.
But an error for an arithmetic expression may also occur elsewhere
-- at least in one case: when an arithmetic expression attempts to
change a read-only variable. In that case, the recursion level is
never reset because that code does not have access to the static
'level' variable.
If many such conditions occur (as in the new readonly.sh regression
tests), an arithmetic command like 'i++' may eventually fail with a
'recursion too deep' error.
To mitigate the problem, MAXLEVEL in streval.c was changed from 9
to 1024 in 264ba48b (as in the ksh 93v- beta). This commit leaves
that increase, but adds a proper fix.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/defs.h:
- Add global sh.arithrecursion (a.k.a. shp->arithrecursion)
variable to keep track of the arithmetic recursion level,
replacing the static 'level' variable in streval.c.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c: sh_exec():
- Reset sh.arithrecursion before starting a new simple command
(TCOM), a new subshell with parentheses (TPAR), a new pipe
(TFIL), or a new [[ ... ]] command (TTST). These are the same
places where 'echeck' is set to 1 for --errexit and ERR trap
checks, so it should cover everything.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/streval.c:
- Change all uses of 'level' to sh.arithrecursion.
- _seterror, aritherror(): No longer bother to reset the level
to zero here; xec.c should have this covered for all cases now.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/arith.sh:
- Add tests for main shell and subshell.
One area where readonly is still ineffective is the local
environment list for a command (preceding assignments) if that
command is not executed using exec(3) after fork(2). Builtin
commands are one example. The following succeeds but should fail:
(readonly v=1; v=2 true) # succeeds, but should fail
If the shell is compiled with SHOPT_SPAWN (the default) then this
also applies to external commands invoked with sh_ntfork():
(readonly v=1; v=2 env) # succeeds if SHOPT_SPAWN
This presents to the user as inconsitent behaviour because external
commands may be fork()ed under certain circumstances but not
others, depending on complex optimisations. One example is:
$ ksh -c 'readonly v=1; v=2 env'
ksh: v: is read only
$ ksh -c 'readonly v=1; v=2 env; :'
(bad: environment list is output, including 'v=2')
In the first command above, where 'v2=env' is the last command in
the -c script, the optimisation skips creating a scope and assigns
the environment list in the current scope.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c: nv_setlist():
- Add check for readonly. This requires searching for the variable
in the main tree using nv_search() before a locally scoped one is
added using nv_open(). Since nv_search() only works with plain
variable names, temporarily end the string at '='.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/readonly.sh:
- Add version check and fork the test command substitution subshell
on older versions that would otherwise abort the tests due to the
combination of an excessively low arithmetic recursion tolerance
and a bug that sometimes fails to restore the shell's arithmetic
recursion level.
Since f207cd57, sh_ntfork() is never called if job.jobcontrol is
set (i.e. if job control is active on an interactive shell), so the
code that is only run if job.jobcontrol is set should be removed.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Remove spawnveg() define that is unused as of 7b0e0776.
- sh_exec(): Simplify SHOPT_SPAWN preprocessor logic. As sh_fork()
never returns a negative value, only run the parent<0 check after
running sh_ntfork() -- that check already didn't happen when
compiling ksh with SHOPT_SPAWN disabled.
- sh_ntfork(): Remove signal and terminal handling (with race
condition) that was only run with job.jobcontrol set.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/args.c: sh_argopts():
- Remove special-casing for --posix (see also data/builtins.c) and
move the case -5: to the case ':' instead, so this option is
handled like all other long options. This change fixes two bugs:
1. 'set --posix' had no effect on the letoctal or braceexpand
options. Reproducer:
$ set --posix
$ [[ -o braceexpand ]]; echo $?
0
$ [[ -o letoctal ]]; echo $?
1
2. 'ksh --posix' could not run scripts correctly because it
wrongly enabled '-c'. Reproducer:
$ ksh --posix < <(echo 'exit 0')
ksh: -c requires argument
Usage: ksh [--posix] [arg ...]
Help: ksh [ --help | --man ] 2>&1
- Don't allow 'set --default' to unset the restricted option.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/options.sh:
- Add regression tests for the bugs described above, using -o posix
and --posix.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/restricted.sh:
- Add a regression test for 'set --default' in rksh.

Using the stack makes it impossible for future buffer overflows to
occur. It also simplifies fmttoken() by eliminating the need to
declare a local buffer and pass a pointer to that as an argument.
For info: man src/lib/libast/man/stak.3
fmttoken() needs a minimal char[4] token buffer passed to it.
Originally reported by: Jakub Wilk <jwilk@jwilk.net>
Original bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=879464
The following code lines from fmttoken() yield a n=3 for SYMSEMI as

}

Many of these changes are minor typo fixes. The other changes
(which are mostly compiler warning fixes) are:
NEWS:
- The --globcasedetect shell option works on older Linux kernels
when used with FAT32/VFAT file systems, so remove the note about
it only working with 5.2+ kernels.
src/cmd/ksh93/COMPATIBILITY:
- Update the documentation on function scoping with an addition
from ksh93v- (this does apply to ksh93u+).
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/emacs.c:
- Check for '_AST_ksh_release', not 'AST_ksh_release'.
src/cmd/INIT/mamake.c,
src/cmd/INIT/ratz.c,
src/cmd/INIT/release.c,
src/cmd/builtin/pty.c:
- Add more uses of UNREACHABLE() and noreturn, this time for the
build system and pty.
src/cmd/builtin/pty.c,
src/cmd/builtin/array.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvtype.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/suid_exec.c:
- Fix six -Wunused-variable warnings (the name.c nv_arrayptr()
fixes are also in ksh93v-).
- Remove the unused 'tableval' function to fix a -Wunused-function
warning.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/lex.c:
- Remove unused 'SHOPT_DOS' code, which isn't enabled anywhere.
https://github.com/att/ast/issues/272#issuecomment-354363112
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/misc.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/trap.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c:
- Add dictionary generator function declarations for former
aliases that are now builtins (re: 1fbbeaa1, ef1621c1, 3ba4900e).
- For consistency with the rest of the codebase, use '(void)'
instead of '()' for print_cpu_times.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c,
src/lib/libast/path/pathshell.c:
- Move the otherwise unused EXE macro to pathshell() and only
search for 'sh.exe' on Windows.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c,
src/lib/libast/include/ast.h:
- Add an empty definition for inline when compiling with C89.
This allows the timeval_to_double() function to be inlined.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/shlex.h:
- Remove the unused 'PIPESYM2' macro.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh:
- Add '# err_exit #' to count the regression test added in
commit 113a9392.
src/lib/libast/disc/sfdcdio.c:
- Move diordwr, dioread, diowrite and dioexcept behind
'#ifdef F_DIOINFO' to fix one -Wunused-variable warning and
multiple -Wunused-function warnings (sfdcdio() only uses these
functions when F_DIOINFO is defined).
src/lib/libast/string/fmtdev.c:
- Fix two -Wimplicit-function-declaration warnings on Linux by
including sys/sysmacros.h in fmtdev().
There's an annoying inconsistency in error messages if ksh is
compiled with SHOPT_SPAWN. One way to trigger it:
$ /usr/local/bin/ksh -c '/tmp/nonexistent'
/usr/local/bin/ksh: /tmp/nonexistent: not found
$ /usr/local/bin/ksh -c '/tmp/nonexistent; :'
/usr/local/bin/ksh: /tmp/nonexistent: not found [No such file or directory]
In the first variant, as an optimisation, ksh went straight to
exec'ing the command without forking first. In the second variant,
sh_ntfork() was used.
The first variant is done in path_exec(), path.c, line 1049:
errormsg(SH_DICT,ERROR_exit(ERROR_NOENT),e_found,arg0);
The second one is in sh_ntfork(), xec.c, line 3654:
errormsg(SH_DICT,ERROR_system(ERROR_NOENT),e_found+4);
In both cases, the e_found message is only used if errno==ENOENT,
so the extra '[No such file or directory]' message generated by
ERROR_system() is pointless as that will never change for that
message.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c: sh_ntfork():
- Use ERROR_exit() instead of ERROR_system() for the e_found
message to avoid the superfluous addition.
If a system administrator prefixes /opt/ast/bin to the path and
then invokes the shell in restricted mode, they clearly intend for
the user to run those AST utilities.
Similarly, if a system administrator sets a PATH for a restricted
shell that includes libraries listed in the .paths file, they must
have intended for the user to use those loadable built-ins, as they
will be associated with the pathnames of their respective
libraries. Since the user cannot change PATH or use the builtin
command, they still cannot load just any built-in they choose.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c:
- Remove SH_RESTRICTED check when handling path-bound builtins
or dynamic libaries containining builtins in $PATH.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add test verifying a restricted user can use /opt/ast/bin/cat
via a PATH search.

This commit fixes BUG_CSUBSTDO, which could break stdout inside of
non-forking command substitutions. The breakage only occurred when
stdout was closed outside of the command substitution and a file
descriptor other than stdout was redirected in the command substitution
(such as stderr). Thanks to the ast-open-history repo, I was able to
identify and backport the bugfix from ksh93v- 2012-08-24.
This backport may fix other bugs as well. On 93v- 2012-08-24 it
fixed the regression below, though it was not triggered on 93u+(m).
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/heredoc.sh
487 print foo > $tmp/foofile
488 x=$( $SHELL 2> /dev/null 'read <<< $(<'"$tmp"'/foofile) 2> /dev/null;print -r "$REPLY"')
489 [[ $x == foo ]] || err_exit '<<< $(<file) not working'
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c: sh_open():
- If the just-opened file descriptor exists in sftable and is
flagged with SF_STRING (as in non-forking command substitutions,
among other situations), then move the file descriptor to a
number >= 10.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Add a regression test for BUG_CSUBSTDO, adapted from the one in
modernish.
The current version of 93u+m does not have proper support for the
LC_TIME variable. Setting LC_TIME has no effect on printf %T, and
if the locale is invalid no error message is shown:
$ LC_TIME=ja_JP.UTF-8
$ printf '%T\n' now
Wed Apr 7 15:18:13 PDT 2021
$ LC_TIME=invalid.locale
$ # No error message
src/cmd/ksh93/data/variables.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/include/variables.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c:
- Add support for the $LC_TIME variable. ksh93v- attempted to add
support for LC_TIME, but the patch from that version was extended
because the variable still didn't function correctly.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Add LC_TIME to the regression tests for LC_* variables.
This experiment, the initialisation of which was disabled with '#if
0', defines a bunch of integer type commands as special builtins.
Most are boring as they define variables just like normal integers:
pid_t, size_t, etc.
One is interesting: mode_t is a type that automatically converts
from a octal permission bits (e.g. 755) to a mode string like
u+rwx,g+rw,o+rw. That's not a compelling enough use case to
permanently define a special and immutable builtin though.
stat_t is odd: it takes a file name as an argument and fills the
variable with stat information, but it is base64 encoded binary
data and there doesn't seem to be anything that can parse it.
Anyway, none of this is going to be enabled, so we should get rid.
The typecast fix was insufficient, avoiding the crash only when
compiling with optimisation disabled. The real problem is that
put_lineno() was passed a misaligned pointer, and that the value
didn't actually contain a double but a string. The bug occurred
when restoring the LINENO value upon exiting a virtual subshell.
Thanks to Harald van Dijk for figuring out the fix.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c: nv_restore():
- When restoring a special variable as defined by nv_cover(),
do not pass either the np->nvflag bits or NV_NOFREE. Why?
* The np->nvflag bits are not needed. They are also harmful
because they may include the NV_INTEGER bit. This is set
when the value is numeric. However, nv_getval() always
returns the value in string form, converting it if it is
numeric. So the NV_INTEGER flag should never be passed
to nv_putval() when it uses the result of nv_getval().
* According to nval.3, the NV_NOFREE flag stops nv_putval() from
creating a copy of the value. But this should be unnecessary
because the earlier _nv_unset(mp,NV_RDONLY|NV_CLONE) should
ensure there is no previous value. In addition, the NV_NOFREE
flag triggered another bug that caused the value of SECONDS to
be corrupted upon restoring it when exiting a virtual subshell.
- When restoring a regular variable, copy the entire nvalue union
and not just the 'cp' member. In practice this worked because
no current member of the nvalue union is larger than a pointer.
However, there is no guarantee it will stay that way.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/leaks.sh:
- Add disabled test for a memory leak that was discovered in the
course of dealing with this bug. The fix doesn't introduce or
influence it. It will have to be dealt with later.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/locale.sh:
- Add test for restoring locale on leaving virtual subshell.
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/253#issuecomment-815290154

On Ubuntu arm7, two variables.sh regression tests crashed with a
bus error (SIGBUS) in init.c on line 720 while testing $LINENO:

Apparently, gcc on arm7 doesn't like the implicit typecast from
double to long.
Those three $LINENO discipline functions are generally a mess of
implicit typecasts between Sfdouble_t, double, long and int.
Line numbers are internally stored as int. The discipline functions
need to use Sfdouble_t for API compatibility.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c: nget_lineno(), put_lineno(), get_lineno():
- Get rid of unnecessary implicit typecasts by adjusting the types
of local variables.
- Make the typecasts that are done explicit.

These fixes are applied rather blindly as no one has yet managed to
understand the almost entirely uncommented arrays and variables
handling code (arrays.c, name.c, nvdisc.c, nvtree.c, nvtype.c).
Hopefully we'll figure all that out at some point. In the meantime
these backported fixes appear to work fine, and these bugs impact
the usability of 'enum', so I'm just going to have to violate my
own policy and backport these fixes without understanding them.
Thanks to @JohnoKing for putting in a lot of work tracing these.
Further discussion at: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/87
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/array.c:
- nv_arraysettype():
* Further simplify the function. After my initial simplification
of it (re: 5491fe97), I don't believe there's actually a need
to save a duplicate copy of the value. Use the pointer returned
by nv_getval() directly to restore the value.
* Cope with a null value (nv_getval() returning a NULL pointer).
This is needed for compatibility with the backported fix in
nvtype.c (below).
- array_putval(): If the array's value pointer (up->cp) is a
pointer to the empty string, it is set to NULL before calling
nv_putv() to prevent an empty string from being deleted. Backport
a fix from 93v- that restores the pointer to the empty string if
the NV_NOFREE attribute is set. Removing it somehow causes these
regressions:
enum.sh[86]: ${array[@]} doesn't yield all values for
associative enum arrays (expected 'green blue blue red
yellow green red orange'; got 'green blue blue yellow
green orange')
enum.sh[94]: unsetting associative enum array does not work
(got 'Color_t -A Colors=([foo]=red [rood]=red)')
enum.sh[116]: assigning first enum element to indexed array
failed (expected 'red red'; got 'BUG BUG')
- nv_associative(): Do not increase the 'nelem' (number of
elements) value of the array's 'header' struct if the array is
associative and of an enum type. The original 93v- fix only
checked for the NV_INTEGER attribute, but backporting that caused
several regressions. Using a debug output command I've determined
that the exact value of 'type' is somehow consistently set to
0x26 if the array is associative and of an enum type, which is
NV_INTEGER | NV_LTOU | NV_RJUST as defined in include/nval.h. I
cannot find where/how that value is determined. In any case this
fix, based on but more specific than the 93v- one, appears to
work fine. Removing it somehow causes this regression:
enum.sh[94]: unsetting associative enum array does not work
(got 'Color_t -A Colors=()')
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvtype.c: nv_settype():
- Another fix backported from 93v-. If the variable is an array,
also set the type of element 0 of that array using a call to
nv_arraysettype(). The value may be null. Removing this somehow
causes this regression:
enum.sh[94]: unsetting associative enum array does not work
(got 'Color_t -A Colors=()')
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/enum.sh:
- Add tests for all the bugs fixed here, plus some hypothetical
bugs (e.g., do the same tests for indexed enum type arrays as for
associative enum type arrays, even though indexed enum type
arrays didn't have all the same problems).

Simple reproducer:
set -A arr a b c d; : ${arr[1..2]}; unset arr[1]; echo ${arr[@]}
Output:
a
Expected output:
a c d
The ${arr[1..2]} expansion broke the subsequent 'unset' command
so that it unsets element 1 and on, instead of only 1.
This regression was introduced in nv_endsubscript() on 2009-07-31:
c47896b4/src/cmd/ksh93/sh/array.c
That change checks for the ARRAY_SCAN attribute which enables
processing ranges of array elements instead of single array
elements, and restores it after. That restore is evidently not
correct as it causes the subsequent unset command to malfunction.
If we revert that change, the bug disappears and the regression
tests show no failures. However, I don't know what this was meant
to accomplish and what other bug we might introduce by reverting
this. However, no corresponding regression test was added along
with the 2009-07-31 change, nor is there any corresponding message
in the changelog. So this looks to be one of those mystery changes
that we'll never know the reason for.
Since we currently have proof that this change causes breakage and
no evidence that it fixes anything, I'll go ahead and revert it
(and add a regression test, of course). If that causes another
regression, hopefully someone will find it at some point.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/array.c: nv_endsubscript():
- Revert the 2009-07-31 change that saves/restores the ARRAY_SCAN
attribute.
- Keep the 'ap' pointer as it is now used by newer code. Move the
declaration up to the beginning of the block, as is customary.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c:
- Cosmetic change: remove an unused array_scan() macro that I found
when grepping the code for ARRAY_SCAN. The macro was introduced
in version 2001-06-01 but the code that used it was replaced in
version 2001-07-04, without removing the macro itself.

Ksh currently restricts readonly scalar variables from having their
values directly changed via a value assignment. However, since ksh
allows variable attributes to be altered, the variable's value can
be indirectly altered. For instance, if TMOUT=900 (for a 15 minute
idle timeout) was set to readonly, all that is needed to alter the
value of TMOUT from 900 to 0 is to issue 'typeset -R1 TMOUT',
perhaps followed by a 'typeset -i TMOUT' to turn off the shell's
timeout value.
In addition, there are problems with arrays. The following is
incorrectly allowed:
typeset -a arr=((a b c) 1)
readonly arr
arr[0][1]=d
arr=(alphas=(a b c);name=x)
readonly arr.alphas
arr.alphas[1]=([b]=5)
arr=(alphas=(a b c);name=x)
readonly arr.alphas
arr.alphas[1]=(b)
typeset -C arr=(typeset -r -a alphas=(a b c);name=x)
arr.alphas[1]=()
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c: setall():
- Relocate readonly attribute check higher up the code and widen
its application to issue an error message if the pre-existing
name-pair has the readonly bit flag set.
- To avoid compatibility problems, don't check for readonly if
NV_RDONLY is the only attribute set (ignoring NV_NOFREE). This
allows 'readonly foo; readonly foo' to keep working.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/array.c: nv_endsubscript():
- Apply a readonly flag check when an array subscript or append
assignment occurs, but allow type variables (typeset -T) as they
utilize '-r' for 'required' sub-variables.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/readonly.sh:
- New file. Create readonly tests that validate the warning message
and validate that the readonly variable did not change.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/streval.c:
- Bump MAXLEVEL from 9 to 1024 as a workaround for arithmetic
expansion, avoiding a spurious error about too much recursion
when the readonly.sh tests are run. This change is backported
from ksh 93v-.
TODO: debug a spurious increase in arithmetic recursion level
variable when readonly.sh tests with 'typeset -i' are run.
That is a different bug for a different commit.

This commit adds an UNREACHABLE() macro that expands to either the
__builtin_unreachable() compiler builtin (for release builds) or
abort(3) (for development builds). This is used to mark code paths
that are never to be reached.
It also adds the 'noreturn' attribute to functions that never
return: path_exec(), sh_done() and sh_syntax(). The UNREACHABLE()
macro is not added after calling these.
The purpose of these is:
* to slightly improve GCC/Clang compiler optimizations;
* to fix a few compiler warnings;
* to add code clarity.
Changes of note:
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c: outexcept():
- Avoid using __builtin_unreachable() here since errormsg can
return despite using ERROR_system(1), as shp->jmplist->mode is
temporarily set to 0. See: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1336
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Add a regression test for the ksh2020 bug referenced above.
src/lib/libast/features/common:
- Detect the existence of either the C11 stdnoreturn.h header or
the GCC noreturn attribute, preferring the former when available.
- Test for the existence of __builtin_unreachable(). Use it for
release builds. On development builds, use abort() instead, which
crahses reliably for debugging when unreachable code is reached.

This bug was first reported at <https://github.com/att/ast/issues/8>.
The 'cd' command currently takes the value of $OLDPWD from the
wrong scope. In the following example 'cd -' will change the
directory to /bin instead of /tmp:
$ OLDPWD=/bin ksh93 -c 'OLDPWD=/tmp cd -'
/bin
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/cd_pwd.c:
- Use sh_scoped() to obtain the correct value of $OLDPWD.
- Fix a use-after-free bug. Make the 'oldpwd' variable a static
char that points to freeable memory. Each time cd is used, this
variable is freed if it points to a freeable memory address and
isn't also a pointer to shp->pwd.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c: path_pwd():
- Simplify and add comments.
- Scope $PWD properly.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh,
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/leaks.sh:
- Backport the ksh2020 regression tests for 'cd -' when $OLDPWD is
set.
- Add test for $OLDPWD and $PWD after subshare.
- Add test for $PWD after 'cd'.
- Add test for possible memory leak.
- Add testing for 'unset' on OLDPWD and PWD.
src/cmd/ksh93/COMPATIBILITY:
- Add compatibility note about changes to $PWD and $OLDPWD.

This commit adds '/* FALLTHROUGH */' comments to fix many
GCC warnings when compiling with -Wimplicit-fallthrough.
Additionally, the existing fallthrough comments have been
changed for consistency.
That bit of code supported bash's redundant 'function foo()'
function declaration syntax (with both the 'function' keyword
and the '()') which is a syntax error on ksh, as it should be.
One of the best-kept secrets of libast/ksh93 is that the code
includes support for case-insensitive file name generation (a.k.a.
pathname expansion, a.k.a. globbing) as well as case-insensitive
file name completion on interactive shells, depending on whether
the file system is case-insensitive or not. This is transparently
determined for each directory, so a path pattern that spans
multiple file systems can be part case-sensitive and part case-
insensitive. In more precise terms, each slash-separated path name
component pattern P is treated as ~(i:P) if its parent directory
exists on a case-insensitive file system. I recently discovered
this while dealing with <https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/223>.
However, that support is dead code on almost all current systems.
It depends on pathconf(2) having a _PC_PATH_ATTRIBUTES selector.
The 'c' attribute is supposedly returned if the given directory is
on a case insensitive file system. There are other attributes as
well (at least 'l', see src/lib/libcmd/rm.c). However, I have been
unable to find any system, current or otherwise, that has
_PC_PATH_ATTRIBUTES. Google and mailing list searches yield no
relevant results at all. If anyone knows of such a system, please
add a comment to this commit on GitHub, or email me.
An exception is Cygwin/Windows, on which the "c" attribute was
simply hardcoded, so globbing/completion is always case-
insensitive. As of Windows 10, that is wrong, as it added the
possibility to mount case-sensitive file systems.
On the other hand, this was never activated on the Mac, even
though macOS has always used a case-insensitive file like Windows.
But, being UNIX, it can also mount case-sensitive file systems.
Finally, Linux added the possibility to create individual case-
insensitive ext4 directories fairly recently, in version 5.2.
https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2020/08/27/using-the-linux-kernel-case-insensitive-feature-in-ext4/
So, since this functionality latently exists in the code base, and
three popular OSs now have relevant file system support, we might
as well make it usable on those systems. It's a nice idea, as it
intuitively makes sense for globbing and completion behaviour to
auto-adapt to file system case insensitivity on a per-directory
basis. No other shell does this, so it's a nice selling point, too.
However, the way it is coded, this is activated unconditionally on
supported systems. That is not a good idea. It will surprise users.
Since globbing is used with commands like 'rm', we do not want
surprises. So this commit makes it conditional upon a new shell
option called 'globcasedetect'. This option is only compiled into
ksh on systems where we can actually detect FS case insensitivity.
To implement this, libast needs some public API additions first.
*** libast changes ***
src/lib/libast/features/lib:
- Add probes for the linux/fs.h and sys/ioctl.h headers.
Linux needs these to use ioctl(2) in pathicase(3) (see below).
src/lib/libast/path/pathicase.c,
src/lib/libast/include/ast.h,
src/lib/libast/man/path.3,
src/lib/libast/Mamfile:
- Add new pathicase(3) public API function. This uses whatever
OS-specific method it can detect at compile time to determine if
a particular path is on a case-insensitive file system. If no
method is available, it only sets errno to ENOSYS and returns -1.
Currently known to work on: macOS, Cygwin, Linux 5.2+, QNX 7.0+.
- On systems (if any) that have the mysterious _PC_PATH_ATTRIBUTES
selector for pathconf(2), call astconf(3) and check for the 'c'
attribute to determine case insensitivity. This should preserve
compatibility with any such system.
src/lib/libast/port/astconf.c:
- dynamic[]: As case-insensitive globbing is now optional on all
systems, do not set the 'c' attribute by default on _WINIX
(Cygwin/Windows) systems.
- format(): On systems that do not have _PC_PATH_ATTRIBUTES, call
pathicase(3) to determine the value for the "c" (case
insensitive) attribute only. This is for compatibility as it is
more efficient to call pathicase(3) directly.
src/lib/libast/misc/glob.c,
src/lib/libast/include/glob.h:
- Add new GLOB_DCASE public API flag to glob(3). This is like
GLOB_ICASE (case-insensitive matching) except it only makes the
match case-insensitive if the file system for the current
pathname component is determined to be case-insensitive.
- gl_attr(): For efficiency, call pathicase(3) directly instead of
via astconf(3).
- glob_dir(): Only call gl_attr() to determine file system case
insensitivity if the GLOB_DCASE flag was passed. This makes case
insensitive globbing optional on all systems.
- glob(): The options bitmask needs to be widened to fit the new
GLOB_DCASE option. Define this centrally in a new GLOB_FLAGMASK
macro so it is easy to change it along with GLOB_MAGIC (which
uses the remaining bits for a sanity check bit pattern).
src/lib/libast/path/pathexists.c:
- For efficiency, call pathicase(3) directly instead of via
astconf(3).
*** ksh changes ***
src/cmd/ksh93/features/options,
src/cmd/ksh93/SHOPT.sh:
- Add new SHOPT_GLOBCASEDET compile-time option. Set it to probe
(empty) by default so that the shell option is compiled in on
supported systems only, which is determined by new iffe feature
test that checks if pathicase(3) returns an ENOSYS error.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/options.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/include/shell.h:
- Add -o globcasedetect shell option if compiling with
SHOPT_GLOBCASEDET.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/expand.c: path_expand():
- Pass the new GLOB_DCASE flag to glob(3) if the
globcasedetect/SH_GLOBCASEDET shell option is set.
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/completion.c:
- While file listing/completion is based on globbing and
automatically becomes case-insensitive when globbing does, it
needs some additional handling to make a string comparison
case-insensitive in corresponding cases. Otherwise, partial
completions may be deleted from the command line upon pressing
tab. This code was already in ksh 93u+ and just needs to be
made conditional upon SHOPT_GLOBCASEDET and globcasedetect.
- For efficiency, call pathicase(3) directly instead of via
astconf(3).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Document the new globcasedetect shell option.
These are minor fixes I've accumulated over time. The following
changes are somewhat notable:
- Added a missing entry for 'typeset -s' to the man page.
- Add strftime(3) to the 'see also' section. This and the date(1)
addition are meant to add onto the documentation for 'printf %T'.
- Removed the man page the entry for ksh reading $PWD/.profile on
login. That feature was removed in commit aa7713c2.
- Added date(1) to the 'see also' section of the man page.
- Note that the 'hash' command can be used instead of 'alias -t' to
workaround one of the caveats listed in the man page.
- Use an 'out of memory' error message rather than 'out of space'
when memory allocation fails.
- Replaced backticks with quotes in some places for consistency.
- Added missing documentation for the %P date format.
- Added missing documentation for the printf %Q and %p formats
(backported from ksh2020: https://github.com/att/ast/pull/1032).
- The comments that show each builtin's options have been updated.
In 2021, it seems like it's about time to join the 21st century
and officially require fork(2). In practice this was already the
case as the legacy code was unmaintained and didn't compile.
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/edit.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/history.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/deparse.c:
- Remove experimental code protected by '#ifdef future'.
No one is going to do anything with this, it's just clutter.
src/lib/libast/sfio/sfcvt.c:
- In 2021, it might be time to actually start using some C99
features were available. Change two checks for a _c99_in_the_wild
macro to actual checks for C99, enabling the use of fpclassify().
Resolves: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/219
This removes #ifdefs checking for the existence of
SH_PLUGIN_VERSION (version check for dynamically loaded builtins)
and the SFIO identifiers SF_BUFCONST, SF_CLOSING, SF_APPENDWR,
SF_ATEXIT, all of which are defined by the bundled libast.
Until now, when performing any tilde expansion like ~/foo or
~user/foo, ksh added a placeholder built-in command called
'.sh.tilde', ostensibly with the intention to allow users to
override it with a shell function or custom builtin. The multishell
ksh93 repo <https://github.com/multishell/ksh93/> shows this was
added sometime between 2002-06-28 and 2004-02-29. However, it has
never worked and crashed the shell.
This commit replaces that with something that works. Specific tilde
expansions can now be overridden using .set or .get discipline
functions associated with the .sh.tilde variable (see manual,
Discipline Functions).
For example, you can use either of:
.sh.tilde.set()
{
case ${.sh.value} in
'~tmp') .sh.value=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}} ;;
'~doc') .sh.value=~/Documents ;;
'~ksh') .sh.value=/usr/local/src/ksh93/ksh ;;
esac
}
.sh.tilde.get()
{
case ${.sh.tilde} in
'~tmp') .sh.value=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}} ;;
'~doc') .sh.value=~/Documents ;;
'~ksh') .sh.value=/usr/local/src/ksh93/ksh ;;
esac
}
src/cmd/ksh93/include/variables.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/data/variables.c:
- Add SH_TILDENOD for a new ${.sh.tilde} predefined variable.
It is initially unset.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/macro.c:
- sh_btilde(): Removed.
- tilde_expand2(): Rewritten. I started out with the tiny version
of this function from the 2002-06-28 version of ksh. It uses the
stack instead of sfio, which is more efficient. A bugfix for
$HOME == '/' was retrofitted so that ~/foo does not become
//foo instead of /foo. The rest is entirely new code.
To implement the override functionality, it now checks if
${.sh.tilde} has any discipline function associated with it.
If it does, it assigns the tilde expression to ${.sh.tilde} using
nv_putval(), triggering the .set discipline, and then reads it
back using nv_getval(), triggering the .get discipline. The
resulting value is used if it is nonempty and does not still
start with a tilde.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Since ksh no longer adds a dummy '.sh.tilde' builtin, remove the
ad-hoc hack that suppressed it from the output of 'builtin'.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/tilde.sh:
- Add tests verifying everything I can think of, as well as tests
for bugs found and fixed during this rewrite.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh:
- Add test verifying that the .sh.tilde.set() discipline does not
modify the exit status value ($?) when performing tilde expansion
as part of tab completion.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Instead of "tilde substitution", call the basic mechanism "tilde
expansion", which is the term used everywhere else (including the
1995 Bolsky/Korn ksh book).
- Document the new override feature.
Resolves: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/217
That patch broke the build on Cygwin, where gcc apparently doesn't
have the required atomic addition/subtraction compiler builtins.
The build fails at link time with those functions not found.
As far as I know, ksh was actually working fine (after @JohnoKing's
gcc workaround in c258a04f), so I'll just revert this for now. If a
need for it is demonstrated later, we'll have to add a feature test
or find some other way to get it working on Cygwin.
"savxit -= SH_EXITSIG + 128;" may have worked accidentally due to
subsequent bitmasking, but is blatantly wrong . It subtracts 256 +
128 = 384 from the exit status.
Use bitwise logic instead, with an octal literal 0200 instead of
128. This makes more sense in this context.
A discipline function could incorrectly influence the value of $?
(exit status of last command) outside its context if it was
triggered without another command being run, e.g. when a prompt
variable is read, or COLUMNS or LINES is set.
Reproducers include:
PS1 prompt:
$ PS1.get() { true; }
$ false
$ echo $?
0
PS2 prompt:
$ PS2.get() { return 13; }
$ \
>
$ echo $?
13
The set discipline is affected too, e.g. COLUMNS and LINES:
$ COLUMNS.set() { return 13; }
$ true
$ (press return)
$ echo $?
13
There are probably other contexts where the shell reads or changes
variables without running commands, allowing their get or set
disciplines to influence $?. So this commit makes ksh save $? for
all .get, .set, .append, and .unset discipline calls.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvdisc.c:
- assign(): Save/restore $? when running a .set/.append/.unset
discipline function.
- lookup(): Save/restore $? when running a .get discipline.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh:
- Add a regression test for $? after displaying a prompt
and when setting a LINES.set discipline function.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/return.sh:
- The above test fails in script form on ksh93u+ and ksh2020, as
it exposes another form of #117 that occurs after running a
subshell. Add the above regression test here as well
(re: 092b90da).

There was an issue with tilde expansion if the HOME var is unset.
$ unset HOME
$ echo ~
martijn
Only the username is returned. Users are more likely to expect the
current user's home directory as configured in the OS.
POSIXly, the expansion of ~ is based on the value of HOME. If HOME
is unset, the results are unspecified. After unsetting HOME, in
bash, ~ returns the user's home directory as specified by the OS,
whereas in all other shells, ~ expands to the empty string. Only
ksh93 returns the username. The behaviour of bash is more useful.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/macro.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/tilde.sh:
- sh_tilde(): Backport fix by Mike Gilbert from ksh2020.

- Add test.
src/cmd/ksh93/COMPATIBILITY:
- Note this change.
This commit fixes a long-standing bug (present since at least
ksh93r) that caused a file descriptor leak when passing a process
substitution to a function, or (if compiled with SHOPT_SPAWN) to a
nonexistent command.
The leaks only occurred when ksh was compiled with SHOPT_DEVFD; the
FIFO method was unaffected.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c: sh_exec():
- When a process substitution is passed to a built-in, the
remaining file descriptor is closed with sh_iorestore. Do the
same thing when passing a process substitution to a function.
This is done by delaying the sh_iorestore() call to 'setexit:'
where both built-ins and functions terminate and set the exit
status ($?).
This means that call now will not be executed if a longjmp is
done, e.g. due to an error in a special built-in. However, there
is already another sh_iorestore() call in main.c, exfile(), line
418, that handles that scenario.
- sh_ntfork() can fail, so rather than assume it will succeed,
handle a failure by closing extra file descriptors with
sh_iorestore(). This fixes the leak on command not found with
SHOPT_SPAWN.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/defs.h:
- Since the file descriptor leaks are now fixed, remove the
workaround that forced ksh to use the FIFO method.
src/cmd/ksh93/SHOPT.sh:
- Add SHOPT_DEVFD as a configurable option (default: probe).
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Add a regression test for the 'not found' file descriptor leak.
- Add a test to ensure it keeps working with 'command'.
Fixes: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/67
On systems where ksh needs to use the older and less secure FIFO
method for process substitutions (which is currently all of them as
the more modern and solid /dev/fd method is still broken, see #67),
process substitutions could leave background processes hanging in
these two scenarios:
1. If the parent process exits without opening a pipe to the child
process forked by the process substitution. The fifo_check()
function in xec.c, which is periodically called to check if the
parent process still exists while waiting for it to open the
FIFO, verified the parent process's existence by checking if the
PPID had reverted to 1, the traditional PID of init. However,
POSIX specifies that the PPID can revert to any implementation-
defined system process in that case. So this breaks on certain
systems, causing unused process substitutions to hang around
forever as they never detect that the parent disappeared.
The fix is to save the current PID before forking and having the
child check if the PPID has changed from that saved PID.
2. If command invoked from the main shell is passed a process
substitution, but terminates without opening the pipe to the
process substitution. In that case, the parent process never
disappears in the first place, because the parent process is the
main shell. So the same infinite wait occurs in unused process
substitutions, even after correcting problem 1.
The fix is to remember all FIFOs created for any number of
process substitutions passed to a single command, and unlink any
remaining FIFOs as they represent unused command substitutions.
Unlinking them FIFOs causes sh_open() in the child to fail with
ENOENT on the next periodic check, which can easily be handled.
Fixing these problems causes the FIFO method to act identically to
the /dev/fd method, which is good for compatibility. Even when #67
is fixed this will still be important, as ksh also runs on systems
that do not have /dev/fd (such as AIX, HP-UX, and QNX), so will
fall back to using FIFOs.
--- Fix problem 1 ---
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Add new static fifo_save_ppid variable.
- sh_exec(): If a FIFO is defined, save the current PID in
fifo_save_ppid for the forked child to use.
- fifo_check(): Compare PPID against the saved value instead of 1.
--- Fix problem 2 ---
To keep things simple I'm abusing the name-value pair routines used
for variables for this purpose. The overhead is negligible. A more
elegant solution is possible but would involve adding more code.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/defs.h: _SH_PRIVATE:
- Define new sh.fifo_tree pointer to a new FIFO cleanup tree.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/args.c: sh_argprocsubs():
- After launching a process substitution in the background,
add the FIFO to the cleanup list before freeing it.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Add fifo_cleanup() that unlinks all FIFOs in the cleanup list and
clears/closes the list. They should only still exist if the
command never used them, however, just run 'unlink' and don't
check for existence first as that would only add overhead.
- sh_exec():
* Call fifo_cleanup() on finishing all simple commands (when
setting $?) or when a special builtin fails.
* When forking, clear/close the cleanup list; we do not want
children doing duplicate cleanup, particularly as this can
interfere when using multiple process substitutions in one
command.
* Process substitution handling:
> Change FIFO check frequency from 500ms to 50ms.
Note that each check sends a signal that interrupts open(2),
causing sh_open() to reinvoke it. This causes sh_open() to
fail with ENOENT on the next check when the FIFO no longer
exists, so we do not need to add an additional check for
existence to fifo_check(). Unused process substitutions now
linger for a maximum of 50ms.
> Do not issue an error message if errno == ENOENT.
- sh_funct(): Process substitutions can be passed to functions as
well, and we do not want commands within the function to clean up
the FIFOs for the process substitutions passed to it from the
outside. The problem is solved by simply saving fifo_tree in a
local variable, setting it to null before running the function,
and cleaning it up before restoring the parent one at the end.
Since sh_funct() is called recursively for multiple-level
function calls, this correctly gives each function a locally
scoped fifo_tree.
--- Tests ---
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Add tests covering the failing scenarios.
