When a builtin is given an unrecognized option, the usage information
for that builtin should be shown as 'Usage: builtin-name options'. The
sleep and suspend builtins were an exception to this. 'suspend' would
not show usage information and sleep wouldn't exit on error:
$ suspend -e
/usr/bin/ksh: suspend: -e: unknown option
$ time sleep -e 1
sleep: -e: unknown option
real 0m1.00s
user 0m0.00s
sys 0m0.00s
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/sleep.c:
- Show usage information and exit when sleep is given an unknown
option. This bugfix was backported from ksh2020: https://github.com/att/ast/pull/1024
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/trap.c:
- Use the normal method of parsing options with optget to fix the
suspend builtin's test failure.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add the ksh2020 regression test for getting the usage information
of each builtin. Enable all /opt/ast/bin builtins in a subshell
since those should be tested as well (aside from getconf and uname
because those builtins fallback to the real commands on error).
Add support for multibyte characters to $IFS
This commit fixes BUG_MULTIBIFS, which had two bug reports in the ksh2020 branch.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/macro.c:
- Backport Eric Scrivner's fix for multibyte IFS characters (slightly modified
for compatibility with C89). Explanation from https://github.com/att/ast/pull/737:
Previously, the varsub method used for the macro expansion of $param, ${param},
and ${param op word} would incorrectly expand the internal field separator (IFS)
if it was a multibyte character. This was due to truncation based on the
incorrect assumption that the IFS would never be larger than a single byte.
This change fixes this issue by carefully tracking the number of bytes that
should be persisted in the IFS case and ensuring that all bytes are written
during expansion and substitution.
Bug report: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/13
- Fixed another bug that caused multibyte characters with the same initial byte
to be treated as the same character by the IFS. This bug was occurring because
the first byte of a multibyte character wasn't being written to the stack when
the IFS delimiter had the same initial byte:
$ IFS=£
$ v='§'
$ set -- $v
$ v="${1-}"
$ echo "$v" | hd # The first byte should be c2, but it isn't due to the bug
00000000 a7 0a |..|
00000002
Bug report: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1372
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Add (reworked) regression tests from ksh2020 for the multibyte IFS bugs.
- Add a regression test for att/ast#1372 based on the reproducer.
The following explanation is mostly taken from Tomas Klacko's report on
the old mailing list (which also contains a C program reproducer) [*]:
1. When ksh starts a binary, it sets its environment variable "_"
to "*number*/path/to/binary". Where "number" is the pid of the
ksh process.
2. The binary forks and the child executes a suid root shell script
which begins with #!/bin/sh. For this bug to occur, ksh must be /bin/sh.
3. The ksh process interpreting the suid shell script leaves the "_"
variable as not set (nv_getval(L_ARGNOD) returns NULL) because
the "number" from step 1 is not the pid of its parent process.
4-5. Because "_" is not set and the script is suid root, an infinite
loop occurs because when the SHELL environment variable contains
"/bin/sh" pathshell() returns "/bin/sh". This becomes an infinite
loop of /bin/sh /dev/fd/3 executing /bin/sh /dev/fd/3.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c: get_lastarg():
- Disable the check for if the "number" refers to the process id of
the parent process.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c: sh_main():
- Prevent an infinite loop when '$_' is not passed in from the environment.
Solaris applies this bugfix to their version of ksh:

When a command substitution is run on the same line as a here-document,
a syntax error occurs due to a regression introduced in ksh93u+ 2011-04-15:
true << EOF; true $(true)
EOF
syntax error at line 1: `<<EOF' here-document not contained within command substitution
The regression is caused by an error check that was added to make
the following script causes a syntax error (because the here-document
isn't completed inside of the command substitution):
$(true << EOF)
EOF
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/lex.c:
- Only throw an error when a here-document in a command substitution
isn't completed inside of the command substitution.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/heredoc.sh:
- Add a regression test for running a command substitution on the
same line as a here-document.
- Add a missed regression test for using here-documents in command
substitutions. This is the original bug that was fixed in ksh93u+
2011-04-15 (it is why the error message was added), but a regression
test for here-documents in command substitutions wasn't added in
that version.
This bugfix was backported from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha.
When ksh is compiled with SHOPT_SPAWN (the default), which uses
posix_spawn(3) or vfork(2) (via sh_ntfork()) to launch external
commands, at least two race conditions occur when launching
external commands while job control is active. See:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ksh/+bug/1887863/comments/3https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-developers@research.att.com/msg00717.html
The basic issue is that this performance optimisation is
incompatible with job control, because it uses a spawning mechanism
that doesn't copy the parent process' memory pages into the child
process, therefore no state that involves memory can be set before
exec-ing the external program. This makes it impossible to
correctly set the terminal's process group ID in the child process,
something that is essential for job control to work.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Use sh_fork() instead of sh_ntfork() if job control is active.
This uses fork(2), which is 30%-ish slower on most sytems, but
allows for correctly setting the terminal process group.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/basic.sh:
- Add regression test for the race condition reported in #79.
src/cmd/INIT/cc.darwin:
- Remove hardcoded flag to disable SHOPT_SPAWN on the Mac.
It should be safe to use now.

A file descriptor (at least 3, can't reproduce for 4 and up) opened

'whence -a' is documented to list all possible interpretations of a
command, but failed to list a built-in command if a shell function
by the same name exists or is marked undefined using 'autoload'.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/whence.c: whence():
- Refactor and separate the code for reporting functions and
built-in commands so that both can be reported for one name.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c: sh_optwhence[]:
- Correct 'whence --man' to document that:
* 'type' is equivalent to 'whence -v'
* '-a' output is like '-v'
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Test 'whence -a' with these combinations:
* a function, built-in and external command
* an undefined/autoload function, built-in and external command
Fixes https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/83
This commit fixes two different crashes related to kshdb:
- When redirect is given an invalid file descriptor, a segfault
no longer occurs. Reproducer:
$ ksh -c 'redirect 9>&200000000000'
- Fix a crash due to free(3) being used on an invalid pointer.
This can be reproduced with kshdb (commands from att/ast#582):
$ git clone https://github.com/rocky/kshdb.git
$ cd kshdb
$ ksh autogen.sh
$ echo "print hi there" > $HOME/.kshdbrc
$ ./kshdb -L . test/example/dbg-test1.sh
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/misc.c: b_dot_cmd():
- The string pointed to by shp->st.filename must be able to be
freed from memory with free(3), so duplicate the string with
strdup(3).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c: sh_redirect():
- Show an error message when a file descriptor is invalid to
fix a memory fault.
This commit backports the main changes to sh_delay from ksh93v-
and ksh2020, which fixes the following bugs:
- Microsecond amounts of less than one millisecond are no longer
ignored. The following loop will now take a minimum of one
second to complete:
for ((i = 0; i != 10000; i++)) do
sleep PT100U
done
- 'sleep 30' no longer adds an extra 30 milliseconds to the total
amount of time to sleep. This bug is hard to notice since 30
milliseconds can be considered within the margin of error. The
only reason why longer delays weren't affected is because the old
code masked the bug when the interval is greater than 30 seconds:
else if(n > 30)
{
sleep(n);
t -= n;
}
This caused 'sleep -s' to break with intervals greater than 30
seconds, so an actual fix is used instead of a workaround.
- 'sleep -s' now functions correctly with intervals of more than
30 seconds as the new code doesn't need the old workaround. This
is done by handling '-s' in sh_delay.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/sleep.c:
- Remove the replacement for sleep(3) from the sleep builtin.
- Replace the old sh_delay function with the newer one from ksh2020.
The new function uses tvsleep, which uses nanosleep(3) internally.

src/cmd/ksh93/edit/edit.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/jobs.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/shell.3:
- Update sh_delay documentation and usage since the function now
requires two arguments.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add a regression test for 'sleep -s' when the interval is greater
than 30 seconds. The other bugs can't be tested for in a feasible
manner across all systems:
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/pull/72#issuecomment-657215616
With this change no more preset aliases exist, so the preset alias
tables can be safely removed. All ksh commands can now be used
without 'unalias -a' removing them, even in interactive shells.
Additionally, the history and r commands are no longer limited to
being used in interactive shells.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/hist.c:
- Implement the history and r commands as builtins. Also guarantee
lflag is set to one by avoiding 'lflag++'.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
- Remove the table of predefined aliases because the last few have
been removed. During init the alias tree is now initialized the
same way as the function tree.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c:
- Remove the bugfix for unsetting predefined aliases because it is
now a no-op. Aliases are no longer able to have the NV_NOFREE
attribute.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/alias.sh:
- Remove the regression test for unsetting predefined aliases since
those no longer exist.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:

src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Remove the list of preset aliases since those no longer exist.
- Document history and r as builtins instead of preset aliases.

These two default aliases are useful on interactive shells. In
scripts, they interfere with possible function or command names.
As of this commit, these final two default aliases are only loaded
for interactive shells, leaving zero default aliases for scripts.
This completes the project to get rid of misguided default aliases.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/shtable.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c:
- Add empty alias table shtab_noaliases[] for scripts.
- Rename inittree() to sh_inittree() and make it external.
- nv_init(), sh_reinit(): Initialise empty alias tree for scripts.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c: sh_main():
- If interactive, reinitialise alias tree for interactive shells.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/alias.sh:
- To test default alias removal, launch shell with -i.
Many terminals (xterm being one example) give the Home and End keys
the escape sequences '^[[H' and '^[[F'. The first sequence is
handled in both editing modes by moving the cursor to start of
line, but ksh ignored the second sequence.
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/emacs.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/vi.c:
- Add case labels for '^[[F' so that in both editing modes the End
key moves the cursor to the end of the line.
This converts the 'autoload', 'compound', 'float', 'functions',
'integer' and 'nameref' default aliases into regular built-in
commands, so that 'unalias -a' does not remove them. Shell
functions can now use these names, which improves compatibility
with POSIX shell scripts.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
- Remove default typeset aliases.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/include/builtins.h:
- Add corresponding built-in command declarations. Typeset-style
commands are now defined by a pointer range, SYSTYPESET ..
SYSTYPESET_END. A couple need their own IDs (SYSCOMPOUND,
SYSNAMEREF) for special-casing in sh/xec.c.
- Update 'typeset --man'.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c: b_typeset():
- Recognise the new builtin commands by argv[0]. Implement them by
inserting the corresponding 'typeset' options into the argument
list before parsing options. This may seem like a bit of a hack,
but it is simpler, shorter, more future-proof and less
error-prone than manually copying and adapting all the complex
flaggery from the option parsing loop.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Recognise typeset-style commands by SYSTYPESET .. SYSTYPESET_END
pointer range.
- Special-case 'compound' (SYSCOMPOUND) and 'nameref' (SYSNAMEREF)
along with recognising the corresponding 'typeset' options.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Update to document the new built-ins.
- Since not all declaration commands are special built-ins now,
identify declaration commands using a double-dagger "\(dd"
character (which renders as '=' in ASCII) and disassociate their
definition from that of special built-ins.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Adapt a regression test as there is no more 'integer' alias.
Now that we have an iffe feature test for getrusage(3), introduced
in 70fc1da7, the millisecond-precision 'times' command from the
last version of ksh2020 can easily be backported.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/misc.c:
- Incorporate ksh2020 'times' command, with a couple of tweaks:
* Use locale's radix point instead of '.'.
* Pad seconds with initial zero if < 10.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:
- Update version date for 'times --man'.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Update 'times' test for 3 digits after radix point.
This commit backports the required fixes from ksh2020 for using
millisecond precision with the 'time' keyword. The bugfix refactors
a decent amount of code to rely on the BSD 'timeradd' and
'timersub' macros for calculating the total amount of time elapsed
(as these aren't standard, they are selectively implemented in an
iffe feature test for platforms without them). getrusage(3) is now
preferred since it usually has higher precision than times(3) (the
latter is used as a fallback).
There are three other fixes as well:
src/lib/libast/features/time:
- Test for getrusage with an iffe feature test rather than
assume _sys_times == _lib_getrusage.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- A single percent at the end of a format specifier is now
treated as a literal '%' (like in Bash).
- Zero-pad seconds if seconds < 10. This was already done for
the times builtin in commit 5c677a4c, although it wasn't
applied to the time keyword.
- Backport the ksh2020 bugfix for the time keyword by using
timeradd and timersub with gettimeofday (which is used with
a timeofday macro). Prefer getrusage when it is available.
- Allow compiling without the 'timeofday' ifdef for better
portability.
This is the order of priority for getting the elapsed time:
1) getrusage (most precise)
2) times + gettimeofday (best fallback)
3) only times (doesn't support millisecond precision)
This was tested by using debug '#undef' statements in xec.c.
src/cmd/ksh93/features/time:
- Implement feature tests for the 'timeradd' and 'timersub'
macros.
- Do a feature test for getrusage like in the libast time test.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/basic.sh:
- Add test for millisecond precision.
- Add test for handling of '%' at the end of a format specifier.
- Add test for locale-specific radix point.
'set -b' had no effect; it should cause the shell to notify job
state changes immediately instead of waiting for the next prompt.
This fixes a regression that was introduced in ksh93t 2008-07-25.
The bugfix is from: https://github.com/att/ast/pull/1089
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/jobs.c:
- Save the tty wait state and avoid changing it if TTYWAIT was
already on to avoid breaking 'set -b'.
The last 'sh_offstate' is inside of an '#if' directive because it
is only required when ksh is compiled with SHOPT_COSHELL enabled.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh:
- Add a regression test for 'set -b' in interactive shells.
This applies ksh-20100621-fdstatus.patch from Red Hat. Not very
much information is available, so this one is more or less taken
on faith. But it seems to make sense on the face of it: calling
sh_fcntl() instead of fcntl(2) directly makes the shell update its
internal file descriptor state more frequently.
It claims to fix Red Hat bug 924440. The report is currently closed
to the public: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=924440
However, Kamil Dudka at Red Hat writes:
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/67#issuecomment-656379993

No reproducer means no regression test can be added now.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Change several fcntl(2) calls to sh_fcntl(). This function calls
fcntl(2) and then updates the shell's file descriptor state.
Type names that start with a lowercase 'a' cause an error when used:
$ typeset -T al=(typeset bar)
$ al foo=(bar=testset)
/usr/bin/ksh: al: : invalid variable name
The error occurs because when the parser checks for the alias
builtin (to set 'assignment' to two instead of one), only the first
letter of 'argp->argval' is checked (rather than the entire
string). This was fixed in ksh93v- by comparing argp->argval
against "alias", but in ksh93u+m the check can simply be removed
because it is only run when a builtin has the BLT_DCL flag. As of
04b9171, the alias builtin does not have that flag.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c:
- Remove the bugged check for the alias builtin.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/types.sh:
- Add a regression test for type names starting with a lowercase 'a'.
This fixes an annoying issue in the shell's quoting algorithm
(used for xtrace (set -x), printf %q, and other things) for UTF-8
locales, that caused it to encode perfectly printable UTF-8
characters unnecessarily and inconsistently. For example:
$ (set -x; : 'aeu aéu')
+ : $'aeu a\u[e9]u'
$ (set -x; : 'aéu aeu')
+ : 'aéu aeu'
$ (set -x; : '正常終了 aeu')
+ : '正常終了 aeu'
$ (set -x; : 'aeu 正常終了')
+ : $'aeu \u[6b63]\u[5e38]\u[7d42]\u[4e86]'
This issue was originally reported by lijo george in May 2017:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-developers@lists.research.att.com/msg01958.html
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/string.c:
- Add is_invisible() function that returns true if a character is a
Unicode invisible (non-graph) character, excluding ASCII space.
Ref.: https://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf
- Use a fallback in is_invisible() if we cannot use the system's
iswprint(3); this is the case for the ksh C.UTF-8 locale if the
OS doesn't support that. Fall back to a hardcoded blacklist of
invisible and control characters and put up with not encoding
nonexistent characters into \u[xxxx] escapes.
Ref.: https://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf
- When deciding whether to switch to $'...' quoting mode (state=2),
use is_invisible() instead of testing for ASCII 0-127 range.
- In $'...' quoting mode, use is_invisible() to decide whether to
encode wide characters into \u[xxxx] escapes.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add regression tests for shellquoting Arabic, Japanese and Latin
UTF-8 characters, to be run only in a UTF-8 locale. The Arabic
sample text[*] contains a couple of direction markers that are
expected to be encoded into \u[xxxx] escapes.

The ksh -R option creates a cross-reference database that can be
parsed with a "C Query Language" (CQL) tool.
See cql-1994.pdf at: http://gsf.cococlyde.org/files
The -R option puts ksh in noexec mode as it parses the script, and
this can produce warnings as the syntax is parsed. The bug is that
these warnings can end up in the database file, corrupting it.
This applies a fix from Paulo Andrade, via Siteshwar Vashisht:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-developers@lists.research.att.com/msg01952.html
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c:
- Terminate names with a zero character when writing database
output.
A regression test is not very feasible because the majority of the
database output consists of cryptic IDs/hashes that vary depending
on the session and/or system and possibly other things.
This bugfix was backported from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse: item():
- The done label is placed after the 'inout' call for handling I/O
redirections. This causes the command below to produce a syntax
error because the '>' is not handled as a redirection operator
after 'goto done':
$ ((1+2)) > /dev/null
/usr/bin/ksh: syntax error: `>' unexpected
Moving the done label fixes the syntax error as 'inout' is now
called to handle the redirection operator.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/arith.sh:
- Add a simple regression test.
There is a bug in path_alias() that may cause a memory leak when
clearing the hash table while setting/restoring PATH.
This applies a fix from Siteshwar Vashist:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-developers@lists.research.att.com/msg01945.html
Note that, contrary to Siteshwar's analysis linked above, this bug
has nothing directly to do with subshells, forked or otherwise; it
can also be reproduced by temporarily setting PATH for a command,
for example, 'PATH=/dev/null true', and then doing a PATH search.
Modified analysis:
ksh maintains the value of PATH as a linked list. When a local
scope for PATH is created (e.g. in a virtual subshell or when doing
something like PATH=/foo/bar command ...), ksh duplicates PATH by
increasing the refcount for every element in the linked list by
calling the path_dup() and path_alias() functions. However, when
the state of PATH is restored, this refcount is not decreased. Next
time when PATH is reset to a new value, ksh calls the path_delete()
function to delete the linked list that stored the older path. But
the path_delete() function does not free elements whose refcount is
greater than 1, causing a memory leak.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c: path_alias():
- Decrease refcount and free old item if needed.
(The 'old' variable was already introduced in 99065353, but
its value was never used there; this fixes that as well.)
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/leaks.sh:
- Add regression test. With the bug, setting/restoring PATH
(which clears the hash table) and doing a PATH search 16 times
causes about 1.5 KiB of memory to be leaked.
There is a bug in print_scan() function that may cause ksh to crash
while listing indexed arrays. The crash happens in nv_search() when
called from print_scan().
This applies a fix from Siteshwar Vashist:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-developers@lists.research.att.com/msg01944.html
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c:
- Call nv_scan() without the NV_IARRAY flag, even for a null scan.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/arrays.sh:
- Add regression test for 'typeset -a' crash and check output.
There is a bug in sh_eval() that may cause ksh to crash due to a
double free() after sourcing multiple files with '.' or 'source'
if a longjmp is triggered, e.g. by a syntax error.
This applies a fix from Siteshwar Vashist:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-developers@lists.research.att.com/msg01943.html
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c: sh_eval():
- Zero file descriptor io_save after closing it. This prevents a
double free() after returning from a longjmp.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/basic.sh:
- Add reproducer as regression test.
This commit changes the behavior of four date formats accepted
by 'printf %()T' because the old behavior is not compatible with
modern implementations of date(1):
- %k and %l now return a blank-padded hour, the former based on a
24-hour clock and the latter a 12-hour clock (these are common
extensions present on Linux and *BSD).
- %f now returns a date with the format '%Y.%m.%d-%H:%M:%S'
(BusyBox extension).
- %q now returns the quarter of the current year (GNU extension).
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:
- Copy the date format documentation from date in libcmd to
the printf man page (for documenting 'printf %T').
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add four regression tests for the changed date formats.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Remove inaccurate information about the date formats accepted by
printf %T'. The KornShell uses a custom version of strftime(3)
that isn't guaranteed to accepts the same formats as the native
strftime function.
src/lib/libast/tm/tmxfmt.c:
- Change the behavior of %f, %k, %l and %q to the common behavior.
%k and %l are implemented as aliases to %_H and %_I to avoid
duplicating code.
src/lib/libcmd/date.c:
- Update the documentation for the AST date command since it is
also affected by the changes to 'printf %T'.
Fixes#62
Associative arrays weren't being properly freed from memory, which
was causing a memory leak.
This commit incorporates a patch and reproducer/regress test from:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-users@lists.research.att.com/msg01016.html
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c:
- Properly free associative arrays from memory in nv_delete().
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/leaks.sh:
- Add regression test.
The following set of commands can rarely cause a memory fault
when auditing[*] is enabled, although most of the time it will
simply cause ksh to write '(null)' to the auditing file in place
of a tty name:
$ [ -e /etc/ksh_audit ] || echo "/tmp/ksh_auditfile;$(id -u)" | sudo tee /etc/ksh_audit;
$ v=$(ksh 2> /dev/null +o rc -ic $'getopts a:bc: opt --man\nprint $?')
$ cat /tmp/ksh_auditfile
1000;1593599493;(null); getopts a:bc: opt --man
This happens because strdup is used unconditionally on the pointer
returned by 'ttyname', which can be NULL if stderr is closed. This
then causes 'hp->tty' to be set to null, as strdup returns NULL.
See https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1028
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/history.c:
- Make strdup duplicate 'notty' instead of NULL to prevent
crashes.

If the processing of a multibyte character was interrupted in UTF-8
locales, e.g. by reading just one byte of a two-byte character 'ü'
(\303\274) with a command like:
print -nr $'\303\274' | read -n1 g
then the shellquoting algorithm was corrupted in such a way that
the final quote in simple single-quoted string was missing. This
bug may have had other, as yet undiscovered, effects as well. The
problem was with corrupted multibyte character processing and not
with the shell-quoting routine sh_fmtq() itself.
Full trace and discussion at: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/5
(which is also an attempt to begin to understand the esoteric
workings of the libast mb* macros that process UTF-8 characters).
src/lib/libast/comp/setlocale.c: utf8_mbtowc():
- If called from the mbinit() macro (i.e. if both pointer
parameters are null), reset the global multibyte character
synchronisation state variable. This fixes the problem with
interrupted processing leaving an inconsistent state, provided
that mbinit() is called before processing multibyte characters
(which it is, in most (?) places that do this). Before this fix,
calling mbinit() in UTF-8 locales was a no-op.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/string.c: sh_fmtq():
- Call mbinit() before potentially processing multibyte characters.
Testing suggests that this could be superfluous, but at worst,
it's harmless; better be sure.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add regression test for shellquoting with 'printf %q' after
interrupting the processing of a multibyte characeter with
'read -n1'. This test only fails in a UTF-8 locale, e.g. when
running: bin/shtests -u builtins SHELL=/buggy/ksh-2012-08-01
Fixes#5.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/signals.c:
- SIGINFO was absent from the table of signals, which caused
commands like 'kill -INFO $$' to fail even on platforms with
SIGINFO (such as macOS and FreeBSD). Fix that by adding
it to the signal table.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/signal.sh:
- Add a regression tests for using SIGINFO with the kill builtin.
The test will only be run if the external kill command supports
SIGINFO.
This commit fixes the following bugs in the 'vi' editing mode
backslash escape feature. Ref.: Bolsky & Korn (1995), p. 113, which
states for \: "Similar to Control+V [...] except that it escapes
only the next Erase or Kill charactrer".
1. The vi mode now only escapes the next character if the last
character input was a backslash, fixing the bug demonstrated at:
https://asciinema.org/a/E3Rq3et07MMQG5BaF7vkXQTg0
2. Escaping backslashes are now disabled in vi.c if the vi mode is
disabled (note that vi.c handles raw editing mode in UTF-8
locales). This makes the behavior of the raw editing mode
consistent in C/POSIX and UTF-8 locales.
3. An odd interaction with Backspace when the character prior to a
separate buffer entered with Shift-C was a backslash has been
fixed. Demonstration at: https://asciinema.org/a/314833
^? will no longer be output repeatedly when attempting to erase
a separate buffer with a Backspace, although, to be consistent
with vi(1), you still cannot backspace past it before escaping
out of it. Ref.:
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/56#issuecomment-653586994
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/vi.c:
- Prevent a backslash from escaping the next input if the previous
input wasn't a backslash. This is done by unsetting a variable
named backslash if a backslash escaped a character. backslash is
set to the result of c == '\\' when the user enters a new
character.
- Disable escaping backslashes in the raw editing mode because
it should not be enabled there.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh:
- Add some tests for how ksh handles backslashes in each
editing mode to test for the bugs fixed by this commit.
Fixes#56.
ksh crashed if it encountered a .paths directory in any of the
directories in $PATH.
Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ksh/+bug/1534855
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c: path_chkpaths():
- Refuse to read .paths if it's not a regular file
or a symlink to a regular file.
Regular expressions that combine a repetition expression with
a parenthesized sub-expression throw a garbled syntax error:
$ [[ AATAAT =~ (AAT){2} ]]
ksh: syntax error: `~(E)(AAT){2} ]]
:'%Cred%h%Creseksh: syntax error: `~(E)(AAT){2} ]]
:'%Cred%h%Creseksh: syntax' unexpected
The syntax error occurs because ksh is not fully
accounting for '=~' when it runs into a curly bracket.
This fix disables the syntax error when the operator
is '=~' and adds handling for '(str){x}' (to allow for
more than one sub-expression). This bugfix and the
regression tests for it were backported from ksh93v-
2014-12-24-beta.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/lex.c:
- Do not trigger a syntax error for '{x}' when the operator
is '=~' and add handling for multiple parentheses when
combined with '{x}'.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/bracket.sh:
- Add two tests from ksh93v- to test sub-expressions
combined with the '{x}' quantifier.
File descriptors that are too far out of range will cause the
read builtin to crash. The following example will generate
two crashes:
$ ksh -c 'read -u 2000000' || ksh -c 'read -u-2000000'
The fix is to error out when the given file descriptor is out
of range. This bugfix is from Tomas Klacko, although it was
modified to use 'sh_iovalidfd' and reject numbers greater
than 'INT_MAX':
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-developers@lists.research.att.com/msg01912.html
The question about 'shp->fdstatus[-1]' only applies to ksh93v-
(ksh93u+ doesn't have any references to 'shp->fdstatus[-1]').
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/read.c:
- File descriptors that are out of range should be rejected
with an error message (like invalid file descriptors that
are in range). The seemingly redundant check for negative
numbers is there because out of range negative numbers also
cause memory faults despite the later 'fd<0' check.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Add three tests for attempting 'read -u' on various invalid
file descriptor numbers.
* Fix the readonly builtin's scope in functions
This bug was first reported at https://github.com/att/ast/issues/881
'tdata.sh->prefix' is only set to the correct value when
'b_readonly' is called as 'export', which breaks 'readonly' in
functions because the correct scope isn't set. As a result, the
following example will only print a newline:
$ function show_bar { readonly foo=bar; echo $foo; }; show_bar
The fix is to move the required code out of the if statement for
'export', as it needs to be run for 'readonly' as well. This bugfix
is from https://github.com/att/ast/pull/906
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c:
- Set 'tdata.sh->prefix' to the correct value, otherwise 'readonly'
uses the wrong scope.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add the regression test from ksh2020, modified to run in a
subshell.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Add documentation of 'readonly' vs. 'typeset -r' difference:
'readonly' does not create a function-local scope.
Co-authored-by: Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>
The following set of commands ends with a memory fault under
certain circumstances because ksh attempts to free memory
twice, causing memory corruption:
$ testarray=(1 2)
$ compound testarray
$ unset testarray
$ eval testarray=
The fix is to make sure 'np->nvfun' is a valid pointer before
attempting to free memory in 'put_tree'. This patch is from
OpenSUSE: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/shells/ksh/ksh93-nvtree-free.dif?expand=1
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvtree.c:
- Do not try to free memory when 'np->nvfun' and 'val'
are false.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/comvar.sh:
- Add a regression test for the double free problem. The
reproducer must be run from an executable script
with 'ksh -c'.
Variables created with 'typeset -RF' were being treated as
short integers, even though they are actually floating point
values. As a result the following example will cause a crash:
$ typeset -RF foo=1
$ test "$foo"
This is fixed by checking for 'NV_DOUBLE' with 'nv_isattr',
which prevents ksh from treating floating point values as
short integers due to '== NV_INT16P' excluding 'NV_DOUBLE'.
This bugfix was backported from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/array.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvdisc:
- Avoid treating floating point values as short integers by
checking for 'NV_DOUBLE' with 'nv_isattr'.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/types.sh:
- Add a regression test for the 'typeset -RF' crash. The
crash cannot be replicated if 'typeset -RF' sets 'foo'
to zero.
The cd builtin was removing '.' from directory names when combined
with a preceding '../', which caused commands like 'cd ../.local'
to become 'cd ../local'. This patch fixes the problem by limiting
the extra handling to leading '..'. The bugfix comes from ksh93v-
2013-10-10-alpha, although this version is a shortened patch from
Solaris (as ksh93v- refactored a decent amount of the code for the
cd builtin).
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/cd_pwd.c:
- cd should only check for leading '..', as trying to handle a lone
'.' only causes problems.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add a regression test for this problem based on the test present in
ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha.
Patch from Solaris:
https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/blob/860d27f/components/ksh93/patches/270-23319761.patch
When neither '-o emacs' nor '-o vi' is active, there were a couple
of bugs with entering tab characters:
1. Tab completion was erroneously left active. The cause of this
was that raw Bourne edit mode is handled by ed_viread() in vi.c
on shells with wide character support, instead of the default
ed_read() in edit.c, and the former failed to check if vi mode
is active when processing tab characters.
2. When entering literal tab characters, the cursor was moved to
the right only one character, instead of the amount of
characters corresponding to the tab.
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/vi.c: getline():
- Before processing '\t' (tab) for command completion, check that
the 'vi' shell option (SH_VI) is active.
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/edit.c: ed_virt_to_phys():
- When translating literal tabs to on-terminal spaces and when
recalculating the cursor position, remove erroneous checks for
SH_VI; this is also needed in raw Bourne mode. According to my
own testing, this has no effect on emacs mode (knock on wood).
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh:
- Add two regression tests. An odd race condition reveals itself in
either pty or in ksh's raw/Bourne edit mode; see comment in test.
Effect is we have to expect either literal tabs or tabs expanded
to spaces, until that is tracked down and fixed.
Fixes#43.
This commit fixes the bug reported in:
https://github.com/att/ast/issues/682
The following sequence fails in vi mode because ksh looks in the
wrong part of the 'virtual' buffer:
$ touch ~/testfile
$ ls ~/test<tab>
The fix is to change 'virtual[i]' to 'virtual[last_virt]' in the
bugged section of code. The other changes are to make sure listing
files in a directory with something like 'ls /etc/<tab>' calls the
code for Ctrl+L to preserve 'ls /etc/' rather than try (and fail)
to complete the directory name, producing 'ls /etc\n/'. This bugfix
was backported from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha.
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/vi.c
- Backport the bugfix from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha for this
problem.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh
- Add a regression test for this issue using pty, adjusted slightly
for a fake home directory in /tmp.
Somewhat notable changes in this commit:
- The 'set +r' bugfix (re: 74b41621) is now documented in the
changelog.
- Missing options have been added to the synopsis section of the
ksh man page.
- The minor formatting fix from https://github.com/ksh-community/ksh/pull/5
has been applied to the ksh man page.
- A few fixes from https://github.com/att/ast/commit/5e747cfb
have been applied to the ksh man page.
- The man page fixes from https://github.com/att/ast/pull/353
have been applied, being:
- An addition to document the behavior of 'set -H'.
- A fix for the cd section appending rksh93.
- A fix for some options being indented too far.
- Removal of a duplicate section documenting '-D'.
- Reordering the options for 'set' in alphabetical order.
- A minor fix for the documentation of 'ksh -i'.
The code for handling process substitution with redirection was
never being run because IORAW is usually set when IOPROCSUB is
set. This commit fixes the problem by moving the required code
out of the !IORAW if statement. The following command now prints
'good' instead of writing 'ok' to a bizzare file:
$ ksh -c 'echo ok > >(sed s/ok/good/); wait'
good
This commit also fixes a bug that caused the process ID of the
asynchronous process to print when the shell was in interactive
mode. The following command no longer prints a process ID,
behaving like in Bash and zsh:
$ echo >(true)
/dev/fd/5
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/args.c:
- Temporarily turn off the interactive state while in a process
substitution to prevent the shell from printing the PID of
the asynchronous process.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c:
- Move the code for process substitution with redirection into
a separate if statement.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Add two tests for both process substitution bugs fixed by this
commit.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/shtests:
- Update shtests with a patch from Martijn Dekker to use
pretty-printing for the output from the times builtin (if it
is available).
Fixes#2
This commit fixes the bug described in att/ast#32. The fix and
following explanation is from att/ast#467:
While copying variables from function's local scope to a new scope,
variable attributes were not copied. Such variables were not marked
to be exported in the new function. For e.g.
function f2 { env | grep -i "^foo"; }
function f1 { env | grep -i "^foo"; f2; }
foo=bar f1
prints 'foo=bar' only once, but it should print be twice.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- When variables from the local scope of a function are copied into
the scope of a nested function, the attributes of the variables
need to be copied as well.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/functions.sh:
- Add regression tests from ksh2020 to check environment variables
passed to functions.
Ksh was trying to use the 'pw' variable as a valid pointer even
when it was NULL. This is fixed by doing the error check for
'pw' before doing anything else in 'job_kill'.
This bugfix is from Red Hat:
44e0a643a9/f/SOURCES/ksh-20130214-fixkill.patchFixes#34
The 'stop' and 'suspend' default aliases are now converted into
regular built-in commands so that 'unalias -a' does not remove
them, 'suspend' can do some sanity checks, and something like
cmd=stop; $cmd $!
will now work.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/trap.c:
- b_kill(): Incorporate 'stop' functionality, which is simply
setting the same flag and variable as '-s STOP' would have done.
- b_suspend(): Add simple builtin function that sends SIGSTOP to
the main shell. Check for no operands, and refuse to suspend a
login shell (which would leave the user stuck with no way out).
Also check that 'kill' succeeds; if we're in an asynchronous
subshell, it is possible the main shell no longer exists.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
- Remove "stop" and "suspend" default aliases. (Why were these
conditional upon SIGTSTP when they actually issued SIGSTOP?)
src/cmd/ksh93/include/builtins.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/data/msg.c:
- Add declarations of "stop" and "suspend" regular built-ins.
- Add option strings (AST manual/--man pages) for them.
- Add e_toomanyops ("too many operands") reusable error message for
b_suspend(). Other new commands may want this at some point.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Remove "stop" and "suspend" default aliases.
- Document "stop" and "suspend" regular built-in commands.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/variables.c:
- Running 'unset .sh.lineno' creates a memory fault, so fix that
by giving it the NV_NOFREE attribute. This crash was happening
because ${.sh.lineno} is an integer that cannot be freed from
memory with free(3).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c:
- Tell _nv_unset to ignore NV_RDONLY when $RANDOM and $LINENO are
restored from the subshell scope. This is required to fully
restore the original state of these variables after a virtual
subshell finishes.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c:
- Disabled some optimizations for two instances of 'sh_assignok' to
fix 'readonly' in virtual subshells and '(unset .sh.level)' in
nested functions. This fixes the following variables when
'(readonly $varname); enum varname=' is run:
$_
${.sh.name}
${.sh.subscript}
${.sh.level}
The optimization in question prevents sh_assignok from saving the
original state of these variables by making the sh_assignok call
a no-op. Ksh needs the original state of a variable for it to be
properly restored after a virtual subshell has run, otherwise ksh
will simply carry over any new flags (being NV_RDONLY in this case)
from the subshell into the main shell.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Add regression tests from Martijn Dekker for setting special
variables as readonly in virtual subshells and for unsetting
special variables in general.
Fixes#4
'whence -a' bases the path for tracked aliases on the user's
current working directory if an enabled ksh builtin of the same
name is also available. The following example will claim 'cat'
is in the user's current working directory:
$ whence -a cat
cat is a tracked alias for /usr/bin/cat
$ builtin cat
$ whence -a cat
cat is a shell builtin
cat is /usr/bin/cat
cat is a tracked alias for /current/working/directory/cat
This patch from ksh2020 fixes this problem by properly saving the
path of the tracked alias for use with 'whence -a', since
'path_pwd' (as implied by the function's name) only gets the users
current working directory, not the location of tracked aliases.
Ref.: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1049
This bug was originally reported by David Morano about two decades
ago to the AST team: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/954
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/whence.c:
- Print the actual path of a tracked alias, path_pwd doesn't
have this functionality.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/name.h:
- Add 'pathcomp' for saving the value of tracked aliases.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c:
- Save the value of tracked aliases for use by whence.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add a regression test for using 'whence -a' on tracked
aliases with a builtin equivalent.
Applying the fix for 'unset -f' exposed a crashing bug in lookup()
in sh/nvdisc.c, which is the function for looking up discipline
functions. This is what caused tests/variables.sh to crash.
Ref.: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/23#issuecomment-645699614
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvdisc.c: lookup():
- To avoid segfault, check that the function pointer nq->nvalue.rp
is actually set before checking if nq->nvalue.rp->running==1.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/functions.sh:
- Uncomment the 'unset -f' fix from b7932e87.
Resolves#21 (again).
The fix in sh/xec.c, which was backported from the ksh 93v- beta to
delay the actual removal of a running function that unsets itself,
caused a segfault in the variables.sh regression tests (see #23).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Comment out the backported code pending a correct fix for #21.
Now both types of functions silently fail to unset themselves
(unless they're discipline functions).
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/functions.sh:
- Disable regression tests checking that the function was actually
unset, pending a correct fix for #21.
Resolves: #23Reopens: #21
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c:
- Correct the check for when a function is currently running
to fix a segmentation fault that occurred when a POSIX
function tries to unset itself while it is running.
This bug fix was backported from ksh93v-.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- If a function tries to unset itself, unset the function
with '_nv_unset(np, NV_RDONLY)' to fix a silent failure.
This fix was also backported from ksh93v-.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/functions.sh:
- Add four regression tests for when a function unsets itself.
Resolves#21
Ksh was not checking for `command` when running a special builtin,
which caused preceding invocation-local variable assignments to
become global. This is the reproducer from the att/ast#72:
$ foo=BUG command eval ':'
$ echo "$foo"
This no longer prints 'BUG', as ksh now makes sure the command builtin
is not running a special builtin before making invocation-local
variable assignments global.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Backport the bugfix for BUG_CMDSPASGN from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add a regression test based on the reproducer in att/ast#72.
This bug was previously reported in att/ast#37.
Ksh ignores `-r` when `read -r -d` is run because when
the bit for `D_FLAG` is set, the bit for `R_FLAG` is unset
as a side effect of setting `D_FLAG`. The following set
of commands fails to print a backslash:
$ printf '\\\000' | read -r -d ''
$ echo $REPLY
The fix for this bug is to set `D_FLAG` with `D_FLAG + 1`,
which prevents `R_FLAG` from being unset. This bugfix
has been backported from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/read.c:
- Set `D_FLAG` with `D_FLAG + 1` to prevent the bit for
`R_FLAG` from being unset.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add the regression test for `read -r -d` from ksh93v-.
The fact that every ksh builtin command self-documents with the
options --help and --man (and others, see 'getopts --man'; but
these are the essential ones) is poorly known; the information is
buried somewhere deep in the sh.1 manual page, and is incomplete at
that. None of the terse usage messages displayed on error point the
user to these options. So let's fix that.
src/lib/libast/misc/optget.c:
- Change generic 'options' placeholder, used in all terse usage
messages, to 'options | --help | --man'.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Edit documentation of --man/-?, adding documentation on --help
which was completely undocumented. Refer to 'getopts --man' for
more advanced info.
- Separate these from the (important) documentation on special
builtins using a paragraph break.
This bug was originally reported by @lijog in att/ast#7 and has been
reported again in #15. KSH does not save the state of a variable if it
is in a newer scope. This is because of an optimization in sh_assignok
first introduced in ksh93t+ 2010-05-24. Here is the code change in that
version:
return(np);
/* don't bother to save if in newer scope */
- if(!(rp=shp->st.real_fun) || !(dp=rp->sdict))
- dp = sp->var;
- if(np->nvenv && !nv_isattr(np,NV_MINIMAL|NV_EXPORT) && shp->last_root)
- dp = shp->last_root;
- if((mp=nv_search((char*)np,dp,HASH_BUCKET))!=np)
- {
- if(mp || !np->nvfun || np->nvfun->subshell>=sh.subshell)
- return(np);
- }
+ if(sp->var!=shp->var_tree && shp->last_root==shp->var_tree)
+ return(np);
if((ap=nv_arrayptr(np)) && (mp=nv_opensub(np)))
{
This change was originally made to replace a buggier optimization.
However, the current optimization causes variables set in subshells
to wrongly affect the environment outside of the subshell, as the
variable does not get set back to its original value. This patch
simply removes the buggy optimization to fix this problem.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c:
- Remove a buggy optimization that caused variables set in subshells
to affect the environment outside of the subshell.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/subshell.sh:
- Add a regression test for setting variables in subshells. This
test has to be run from the disk after being created with a here
document because it always returns the expected result when run
directly in the regression test script.
The 'source' alias is now converted into a regular built-in command
so that 'unalias -a' does not remove it, and something like
cmd=source; $cmd name args
will now work.
This is part of the project to replace default aliases that define
essential commands by proper builtins that act identically (except
you now get the actual command's name in any error/usage messages).
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
- Remove 'source' default alias.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/include/builtins.h:
- Define 'source' regular builtin with extra parser ID "SYSSOURCE".
Same definition as '.', minus the BLT_SPC flag indicating a
special builtin. This preserves the behaviour of 'command .'.
- Update sh_optdot[] to include info for 'source --man'.
(Note that \f?\f expands to the current command name.
This allows several commands to share a single --man page.)
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c:
- In the two places that SYSDOT is checked for, also check for
SYSSOURCE, making sure the two commands are parsed identically.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Remove 'source' default alias.
- Document 'source' regular builtin.
Prior to this bugfix, the following set of commands would
fail to print two double quotes:
IFS=',' read -S a b c <<<'foo,"""title"" data",bar'
echo $b
This fix is from ksh93v- 2013-10-10-alpha, although it has
been revised to use stakputc to put the required double quote
into the buffer for consistency with the ksh93u+ codebase.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/read.c:
- When handling nested double quotes, put the required double
quote in read's buffer with stakputc.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add the regression test for `read -S` from ksh93v-.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Fix a minor formatting error to highlight '-S' in the ksh(1)
man page.
This fix for `printf '%T' now` on FreeBSD was written by
@krader1961. This is from https://github.com/att/ast/pull/591:
On FreeBSD calling tzset() does not guarantee the tzname array will
be correctly populated. On most systems that works but on FreeBSD you
have to call localtime() or a related function (e.g., ctime()).
This change also eliminates a potential, very small, memory leak due to
the strdup()'ed tznames not being freed.
src/lib/libast/tm/tminit.c:
- Fix timezone name determination on FreeBSD and a memory leak.
The man page for the builtin command says special builtins cannot
be deleted. This wasn't the case though, running `builtin -d` on
a special builtin was deleting it. As an example, the following
set of commands was ending with 'export: not found':
$ builtin -d export
$ export foo=bar
This commit backports the bugfix from ksh93v- (2014-12-24-beta),
which added an error check to prevent special builtins from being
deleted.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvdisc.c:
- Add an error check to prevent special builtins from being deleted.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh
- Add a regression test for using `builtin -d` on special builtins.
This commit removes the undocumented 'login' and 'newgrp' builtin
commands. They already stopped blocking shell functions by that
name by changing from special to regular builtins in 04b91718 (a
change I forgot to mention in that commit message), but there is
another obnoxious aspect to these: being glorified hooks into
'exec', they replaced your shell session with the external commands
by the same name. This makes argument and error checking
impossible, so if you made so much as a typo, you would be
immediately logged out.
Even if that behaviour is wanted by a few, having it as the default
is user-hostile enough to be called a bug. It also violates the
POSIX definition of the 'newgrp' utility which explicitly says that
it "shall create a new shell execution environment", not replace
the existing one.
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/newgrp.html
Users who do want this behaviour can easily restore it by setting:
alias login='exec login'
alias newgrp='exec newgrp'
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/misc.c:
- As there is no more 'login' builtin, combine b_exec() and
B_login() functions, which allows eliminating a few variables.
Note that most of 'exec' was actually implemented in B_login()!
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:
- Remove "login" and "newgrp" table entries.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/builtins.h:
- Remove SYSLOGIN parser ID. As this was the first, all the others
needed renumbering.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Remove SYSLOGIN parser check that made 'login' and 'newgrp' act
like 'exec' and replace the shell.
This commit converts the redirect='command exec' alias to a regular
'redirect' builtin command that only accepts I/O redirections, which
persist as in 'exec'. This means that:
* 'unlias -a' no longer removes the 'redirect' command;
* users no longer accidentally get logged out of their shells if
they type something intuitive but wrong, like 'redirect ls >file'.
This should not introduce any legitimate change in behaviour. If
someone did accidentally pass non-redirection arguments to
'redirect', unexpected behaviour would occur; this now produces
an 'incorrect syntax' error.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/misc.c: b_exec():
- Recognise 'redirect' when parsing options.
- If invoked as 'redirect', produce error if there are arguments.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
- Remove redirect='command exec' alias.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:
- Update/improve comments re ordering.

- sh_optexec[]: Abbreviate redirection-related documentation;

- Improve comments.
- Add extern sh_optredirect[].
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- exec: Abbreviate redirection-related documentation; refer to
'redirect' instead.
- redirect: Add documentation.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Recognise SYSREDIR parser ID in addition to SYSEXEC when
determining whether to make redirections persistent.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- To regress-test the new builtin, change most 'command exec' uses
to 'redirect'.
- Add tests verifying the exit behaviour of 'exec', 'command exec',
'redirect' on redirections.
Both 'alias' and 'unalias' are specified as regular builtins. Among
a few other things, that means it ought to be portable to use these
names for shell functions. But ksh93 disallowed that until now.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:
- Make 'unalias' a regular builtin by removing the BLT_SPC flag.
- (same fix for 'alias' was already done in afa68dca)
- Add the BLT_ENV flag to the 'alias' and 'hash' commands. In
include/name.h, this flag is commented: "non-stoppable, can
modify environment". The "non-stoppable" bit seems like a good
idea: these operations should not be interruptable as that would
cause an inconsistent state.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Remove the '-', indicating special builtin, from 'alias' entry.
- Minor cosmetic fix: space after the '-' for 'unset'.

This commit replaces the old hash alias with a proper builtin.
I based this builtin off of the code alias uses for handling
`alias -t --`, but with the hack for `--` removed as it has
no use in the new builtin. `alias -t --` will no longer work,
that hack is now gone.
While I was testing this builtin, I found a bug with hash tables
in non-forking subshells. If the hash table of a non-forking
subshell is changed, the parent shell's hash table is also changed.
As an example, running `(hash -r)` was resetting the parent shell's
hash table. The workaround is to force the subshell to fork if the
hash table will be changed.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c:
- Move the code for hash out of the alias builtin into a dedicated
hash builtin. `alias -t --` is no longer supported.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
- Remove the old alias for hash from the table of predefined aliases.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:

to workaround a bug with the hash tree.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/alias.sh:
- Add a regression test for resetting a hash table, then adding
a utility to the refreshed hash table.

Adding an error message risks making existing ksh scripts noisier,

This commit fixes a bug that caused unalias to return a zero status
when it tries to remove an alias twice. The following set of commands
will no longer end with an error:
$ alias foo=bar
$ unalias foo
$ unalias foo && echo 'Error'
This commit is based on the fix present in ksh2020, but it has been
extended with another bugfix. The initial fix for this problem tried to
remove aliases from the alias tree without accounting for NV_NOFREE. This
caused any attempt to remove a predefined aliases (e.g. `unalias float`)
to trigger an error with free, as all predefined aliases are in read-only
memory. The fix for this problem is to set NV_NOFREE when removing aliases
from the alias tree, but only if the alias is in read-only memory. All
other aliases must be freed from memory to prevent memory leaks.
I'll also note that I am using an `isalias` variable rather than the `type`
enum from ksh2020, as the `VARIABLE` value is never used and was replaced
with a bool called `aliases` in the ksh2020 release. The `isalias` variable
is an int as the ksh93u+ codebase does not use C99 bools.

Emacs editing mode is bugged in ksh93u+ and ksh2020. Let's
say you were to run the following commands after starting
a fresh instance of ksh:
$ alias foo='true'
$ unalias foo
If you type 'a' and then press the up arrow on your keyboard,
ksh will complete 'a' to `alias foo='true'` by doing a reverse
search for the last command that starts with 'a'.
Run the alias command again, then type 'u' and press the up
arrow key again. If ksh is in Vi mode, you will get `unalias foo`,
but in Emacs mode you will get `alias foo='true'` again.
This bug was occurring because ksh was only doing a reverse search
based on the first command that was completed using the up arrow.
All subsequent commands were ignored as ksh was saving the first
command and only based later searches off of it.
NEWS:
- Add instructions for reproducing this bug with the up arrow
key and information about why this bug was happening in the
first place.
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/emacs.c:

This fixes two bugs: issuing the 'exit' command with a value > 256
would cause ksh 93u+ to kill itself with the corresponding signal
(try 'exit 265' to SIGKILL your interactive shell), and, if the
last command of a script exits due to a signal, the shell would
repeat that signal to itself, causing any parent ksh to also be
killed.

This commit is loosely based on a patch applied to the 93v- beta
and the abandoned ksh2020, but that patch was incomplete & broken:
$ ksh-2020.0.0 -c 'exit 265'; echo $?
137
Expected: 9. Since the exit was *not* due to a signal, the value
should simply be cropped to the 8 bits supported by the OS.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/cflow.c: b_exit():
- For the 'exit' builtin command, bitwise-AND the argument to
'exit' with SH_EXITMASK (8 bits, crop to 0-255) before passing it
on to sh_exit(). This restores the behaviour of <=2011 ksh93
versions and is in line with all other POSIX shells.
It also fixes this bogosity:
$ (exit 265); echo $? # non-forked subshell
265
$ (ulimit -t unlimited; exit 265); echo $? # forked subshell
9
Forked or non-forked should make no difference at all
(see commit message a0e0e29e for why).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/fault.c: sh_done():
- If the current exit status is equal to the status for the last
signal that was received from a child process, remove the
SH_EXITSIG (9th) bit, so that the shell doesn't kill itself.
- If the shell's last child process exits due to a signal, exit
with a portable 8-bit exit status (128 + signal number). This
avoids the exit status being < 128 by being cropped to 8 bits.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/signal.sh:
- Add regression test for exit with status > 256.
- Add regression test verifying the shell no longer kills itself.

This commit gets rid of dead weight related to an obscure early
1990s Bell Labs versioning file system research project called
3DFS, which has not existed for decades and for which I have not
managed to find any evidence that it was ever used outside the lab.
This removes:
- the SHOPT_FS_3D compile option (which was forced on even when 0)
- the obnoxious default alias 2d='set -f;_2d' that turned off your
globbing and then tried to run a nonexistent _2d command
- undocumented builtins 'vmap' and 'vpath' that only errored out
- a non-functional -V unary operator for the test and [[ commands
- some specific code for Apollo workstations (last made in 1997),
which was inseparably intertwined with the 3DFS code

Continuing alias substitution after 'command' (due to the final
space in the alias) is inherently broken and doing so by default is
incompatible with the POSIX standard, as aliases may contain
arbitrary shell grammar.
For instance, until the previous commit, the POSIX standard 'times'
command was an alias: times='{ { time;} 2>&1;}' -- and so, of
course, 'command times' gave a syntax error, although this is
a perfectly valid POSIX idiom that must be supported.
'command' is specified by POSIX as a regular builtin, not an alias.
Therefore it should always bypass aliases just as it bypasses
functions to expose standard builtin and external commands.
I can only imagine that the reason for this command='command '
alias was that some standard commands themselves were implemented
as aliases, and POSIX requires that standard commands are
accessible with the 'command' prefix. But implementing standard
commands as aliases is itself inherently broken. It never worked
for 'command times', as shown; and in any case, removing all
aliases with 'unalias -a' should not get rid of standard commands.
Similarly, the default alias nohup='nohup ' is also harmful.
Anyone who really wants to keep this behaviour can just define
these aliases themselves in their script or ~/.kshrc file.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/aliases.c:
- Remove default alias command='command '.
- Remove default alias nohup='nohup '.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1
- Remove the above default aliases from the list.
- Mention that the 'command' builtin does not search for aliases.

As of this commit, the 'times' command is a POSIX-compliant special
builtin command instead of an alias that doesn't produce the
required output. It displays the accumulated user and system CPU
times, one line with the times used by the shell and another with
those used by all of the shell's child processes.

This was originally written by Kurtis Rader and is now backported
and tweaked from the abandoned ksh2020 branch. I chose an earlier
and simpler version[*1] that uses times(3), with a precision of
hundredths of seconds, so it outputs the same precision as mksh and
zsh. Rader later wrote another version[*2] that uses getrusage(2),
giving it the same millisecond precision as bash. But that required
adding a feature test and a fallback to the old version, which is
non-trivial in the old INIT/iffe system. This simpler version is
enough to gain POSIX compliance and I think it will do very nicely
in this stable bugfix branch.

This counter is documented as follows:
"The current depth for subshells and command substitution."
But before this commit, the actual behaviour was that the counter
was reset to zero whenever a subshell forked for any reason: a
pipe, background job, running 'ulimit', redirecting stdout in a
command substitution, and more. This behaviour was:
1. Not consistent with the documentation. Non-forked (a.k.a.
virtual) subshells are an internal implementation detail which
scripts should not have to be concerned with. The manual page
doesn't mention them at all.
2. Inherently broken. Since a subshell may fork for any number of
reasons, even mid-run, and those reasons may change with
bugfixes and further development, scripts have never actually
been able to rely on the value of ${.sh.subshell}.
So, this commit fixes the counter to count the levels of all
subshells, both virtual and forked.

"create" a subshell, it forks off an existing virtual subshell.
* Don't zero ${.sh.subshell}. Instead, since sh_fork() increases
it but we're forking an existing subshell, undo the increase.
- sh_subshell():
* Remove 'int16_t subshell' variable. It was unnecessary and
mostly unused. It was also the wrong type: it was assigned the
value from shp->subshell which is of type short.
* Increase and decrease the level of virtual subshells and
${.sh.subshell} independently.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Add regression tests for ${.sh.subshell} in virtual and forked

The sfputr() function (put out a null-terminated string) contained
a use of memccpy() that was invalid and could cause crashes,
because the buffer it was copying into could overlap or even be
identical with the buffer being copied from.
Among (probably) other things, this commit fixes a crash in 'print
-v' (print a compound variable structure) on macOS, that caused the
comvar.sh and comvario.sh regression tests to fail spectacularly.
Now they pass.
Issue discovered and fixed by Kurtis Rader in the abandoned ksh2020
branch; this commit backports the fix. He wrote:
| #if _lib_memccpy && !__ia64 /* these guys may never get it right */

| The problem is that assertion is wrong. It implies that the libc

This fixes (or at least works around) a bug that caused special
variables such as PATH, LANG, LC_ALL, LINENO, etc. to lose their
effect after being unset in a subshell.
For example:
(unset PATH; PATH=/dev/null; ls); : wrongly ran 'ls'
(unset LC_ALL; LC_ALL=badlocale); : failed to print a diagnostic
This is yet another problem with non-forking/virtual subshells. If
you forced the subshell to fork (one way of doing this is using the
'ulimit' builtin, e.g. ulimit -t unlimited) before unsetting the
special variable, the problem vanished.
I've tried to localise the problem. I suspect the sh_assignok()
function, which is called from unall(), is to blame. This function
is supposed to make a copy of a variable node in the virtual
subshell's variable tree. Apparently, it fails to copy the
associated permanent discipline function settings (stored in the
np->nvfun->disc pointer) that gave these variables their special
effect, and which survive unset. However, my attempts to fix that
have been unsuccessful. If anyone can figure out a fix, please send
a patch/pull request!
Data point: This bug existed in 93u 2011-02-08, but did not yet
exist in M-1993-12-28-s+. So it is a regression.
Meanwhile, pending a proper fix, this commit adds a safe
workaround: it forces a non-forked subshell to fork before
unsetting such a special variable.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c: unall():
- If we're in a non-forked, non-${ ...; } subshell, then before
unsetting any variable, check for variables with internal
trap/discipline functions, and call sh_subfork() if any are
found. To avoid crashing, this must be done before calling
sh_pushcontext(), so we need to loop through the args separately.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Remove the 'ulimit' that forced the fork; we do this in C now.

The $! special parameter was not set if a background job
(somecommand &) or co-process (somecommand |&) was launched as the
only command within a braces block with an attached redirection,
for example:
{
somecommand &
} >&2
With the bug, $! was unchanged; now it contains the PID of
somecommand.
Ref.: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1357
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c: item():
- When processing redirections following a compound command, always
create a parent node with the TSETIO (I/O redirection) token.
Before this commit, if the last command was of type TFORK (and
the last command only tested as TFORK if the bg job or coprocess
was the only command in a braces block, because the ksh parser
optimises away the braces in that case), then the parent node was
created with the TFORK token instead.
I have no idea what David Korn's intention was with that, but
this is clearly very wrong. Creating another TFORK node when
parsing the redirection caused sh_exec() in sh/xec.c to execute
the redirection in an extra forked, non-background subshell.
Since redirections are executed before anything else, this
subshell is what then launched the background job between the
braces, so $! (a.k.a. shp->bckpid) was updated in that subshell
only, and never in the main shell. The extra subshell also
prevented the background job from being noticed by job control
on interactive shells.
So, the fix is simply to remove the broken test for TFORK.

Fix a bug in autoloading functions. Directories in the path search
list which should be skipped (e.g. because they don't exist) did
not interact correctly with autoloaded functions, so that a
function to autoload was not always found.
Details:
https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1454
Fix backported (and cleaned up) from:
https://github.com/att/ast/commit/3bc58164
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c:
- path_opentype(): Fix the path search loop so that entries marked
with PATH_SKIP are handled correctly.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/functions.sh:
- Add regression test verifying an autoloaded function with a PATH
that triggered the bug.
The bug in path_opentype() fixed by this commit may affect other
scenarios but we know it affects autoloaded functions. Hence the
test for that scenario.

Fix BUG_TESTERR1A: POSIX non-compliance of 'test'/'[' exit status
on error. The command now returns status 2 instead of 1 when given
an invalid number or arithmetic expression, e.g.: [ 123 -eq 123x ]
The problem was that the test builtin (b_test()) calls the generic
arithmetic evaluation subsystem (sh/arith.c, sh/streval.c) which
has no awareness of the test builtin. A simple solution would be to
always make the arithmetic subsystem use an exit status > 1 for
arithmetic errors, but globally changing this may cause backwards
compatibility issues. So it's best to change the behaviour of the
'test' builtin only. This requires the arithmetic subsystem to be
aware of whether it was called from the 'test' builtin or not. To
that end, this commit adds a global flag and overrides the
ERROR_exit macro where needed.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/defs.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/defs.c:
- Declare and initialise a global sh_in_test_builtin flag.
- Declare internal function for ERROR_exit override in test.c.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c:
- Add override for ERROR_exit macro using a function that checks if
the exit status is at least 2 if the error occurred while running
the test builtin.
- b_test(): Set sh_in_test_builtin flag while running test builtin.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/arith.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/streval.c:
- Override ERROR_exit macro using function from test.c.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/bracket.sh:
- Add regression test verifying status > 1 on arith error in test.

Aliases can now be correctly unset within subshell environments
(such as ( ... ), $(command substitutions), etc), as well as
non-subshell "shared" command substitutions (${ ...; }). Before,
attempts to unset aliases within these were silently ignored.
Prior discussion: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/108
Subshell alias trees are only referenced in a few places in the
code, *and* have always been broken, so this commit gets rid of the
whole notion of a subshell alias tree. Instead, there is now just
one flat alias tree, and subshells fork into a separate process
when aliases are set or unset within them. It is not really
conceivable that this could be a performance-sensitive operation,
or even a common one, so this is a clean fix with no downside.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/defs.h:
- Remove sh_subaliastree() definition.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c:
- Remove salias element (pointer to subshell alias tree) from
subshell struct.
- Remove sh_subaliastree() function.
- sh_subshell(): Remove alias subshell tree cleanup.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c:
- b_alias(): If in subshell, fork before setting alias.
- b_unalias(): If in subshell, fork before unsetting alias.
- unall(): Remove sh_subaliastree() call.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c:
- nv_open(): Remove sh_subaliastree() call.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/subshell.sh:
- Add regression tests for unsetting or redefining aliases within
subshells.
(cherry picked from commit 12a15605b9521a2564a6e657905705a060e89095)
Functions can now be correctly redefined and unset in subshell
environments (such as ( ... ), $(command substitutions), etc).
Before this fix, attempts to do this were silently ignored (!!!),
causing the wrong code (i.e.: the function by the same name from
the parent shell environment) to be executed.
Redefining and unsetting functions within "shared" command
substitutions of the form '${ ...; }' is also fixed.
Prior discussion: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/73
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c:
- A fix from George Koelher (URL above). He writes:
| The parser can set t->comnamp to the wrong function.
| Suppose that the shell has executed
| foo() { echo WRONG; }
| and is now parsing
| (foo() { echo ok; } && foo)
| The parser was setting t->comnamp to the wrong foo. [This
| fix] doesn't set t->comnamp unless it was a builtin. Now the
| subshell can't call t->comnamp, so it looks for foo and finds
| the ok foo in the subshell's function tree.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c:
- Unsetting functions in a virtual/non-forked subshell still
doesn't work: nv_open() fails to find the function. To work
around this problem, make 'unset -f' fork the subshell into its
own process with sh_subfork().
- The workaround exposed another bug: if we unset a function in a
subshell tree that overrode a function by the same name in the
main shell, then nv_delete() exposes the function from the main
shell scope. Since 'unset -f' now always forks a subshell, the
fix is to simply walk though troot's parent views and delete any
such zombie functions as well. (Without this, the 4 'more fun'
tests in tests/subshell.sh fail.)
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c: sh_subfuntree():
- Fix function (re)definitions and unsetting in "shared" command
substitutions of the form '${ commandlist; }' (i.e.: if
sp->shp->subshare is true). Though internally this is a weird
form of virtual subshell, the manual page says it does not
execute in a subshell (meaning, all changes must survive it), so
a subshell function tree must not be created for these.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/subshell.sh:
- Add regression tests related to these bugfixes. Test unsetting
and redefining a function in all three forms of virtual subshell.

The issue with truncating files was caused by out-of-sync streams.
Details and discussion: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/61
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c: sh_iorestore():
- To be safe, sync all streams before restoring file descriptors.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh:
- Add two regression tests for truncating files with this
combination of redirections.
- The second test, which invokes a -c script, is disabled for now
as this triggers another corner case bug involving the SH_NOFORK
optimisaton for -c scripts. That fix is for another commit.

This fixes three related bugs:
1. Expansions like ${var+set} remained static when used within a
'for', 'while' or 'until' loop; the expansions din't change
along with the state of the variable, so they could not be used
to check whether a variable is set within a loop if the state of
that variable changed in the course of the loop. (BUG_ISSETLOOP)
2. ${IFS+s} always yielded 's', and [[ -v IFS ]] always yielded
true, even if IFS is unset. (BUG_IFSISSET)
3. IFS was incorrectly exempt from '-u' ('-o nounset') checks.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/macro.c: varsub():
- When getting a node pointer (np) to the parameter to test,
special-case IFS by checking if it has a value and not setting
the pointer if not. The node to IFS always exists, even after
'unset -v IFS', so before this fix it always followed the code
path for a parameter that is set. This fixes BUG_IFSISSET for
${IFS+s} and also fixes set -u (-o nounset) with IFS.
- Before using the 'nv_isnull' macro to check if a regular variable
is set, call nv_optimize() if needed. This fixes BUG_ISSETLOOP.
Idea from Kurtis Rader: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1090
Of course this only works if SHOPT_OPTIMIZE==1 (the default),
but if not, then this bug is not triggered in the first place.
- Add some comments for future reference.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c: test_unop():
- Fix BUG_IFSISSET for [[ -v IFS ]]. The nv_optimize() method
doesn't seem to have any effect here, so the only way that I can
figure out is to special-case IFS, nv_getval()'ing it to check if
IFS has a value in the current scope.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Add regression tests for checking if a varariable is set within a
loop, within and outside a function with that variable made local
(to check if the scope is honoured). Repeat these tests for a
regular variable and for IFS, for ${foo+set} and [[ -v foo ]].

'command -p' was broken for non-interactive shells as the variable
used to store the default system PATH, std_path, was not
initialised correctly. For instance:

Standard output (FD 1) tested as being on a terminal within a
command substitution, which makes no sense as the command
substitution is supposed to be catching standard output.
ksh -c 'v=$(echo begincomsub
[ -t 1 ] && echo oops
echo endcomsub)
echo "$v"'
This should not output "oops".
This is one of the many bugs with ksh93 virtual (non-forked)
subshells. On the abandoned Vashist/Rader ksh2020 branch, this bug
was fixed by changing quite a lot of code, which introduced and/or
exposed another bug:
https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1079https://github.com/att/ast/commit/8e1e405ehttps://github.com/att/ast/issues/1088
That issue was unresolved when the ksh2020 branch was abandoned.
The safer and more conservative fix is simply forcing the subshell
to fork if we're in a non-forked command substitution and testing
'-t 1'. It is hard to imagine a situation where this would cause a
noticable performance hit.
Note that this fix does not affect ksh93-specific "shared"
non-subshell ${ command substitutions; } which are executed in the
main shell environment, so that variables survive, etcetera.
'test -t 1' continues to wrongly return true there, but command
substitutions of that form cannot be forked because that would
defeat their purpose.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c:
- Fix 'test -t 1', '[ -t 1 ]' and '[[ -t 1 ]]' by forking the
current subshell if it is a virtual/non-forked subshell
(shp->subshell), and a command substitution (shp->comsub), but
NOT a "shared" ${ command substitution; } (!shp->subshare).
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/bracket.sh:
- Add two regression tests for this issue, which were adapted from
the Vashist/Rader ksh2020 branch.

This allows scripts to check for a nonzero exit status on the
'print', 'printf' and 'echo' builtins and prevent possible infinite
loops if SIGPIPE is ignored.
sfsync() was already returning a negative value on I/O error, so
all we need to do is add a check. The stream buffer will need to be
filled before an I/O error can be detected, but this is the same on
other shells. See manual page: src/lib/libast/man/sfio.3

src/cmd/ksh93/data/msg.c, src/cmd/ksh93/include/io.h:
- Add the e_io[] error message.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add I/O error regression test, checking for the correct error
message and exit status. All three output builtins use the same
b_print() function so we only need to test one.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/basic.sh,

ksh used to redirect standard output by default when no file
descriptor was specified with the rarely used '<>' reading/writing
redirection operator. It now redirects standard input by default,
as POSIX specifies and as all other POSIX shells do. To redirect
standard output for reading and writing, you now need '1<>'.

This fixes an undocumented 'case' pattern matching misbehaviour
(labelled BUG_CASELIT in modernish) that goes back to the original
Bourne shell, but wasn't discovered until 2018.
If a pattern doesn't match as a pattern, it's tried again as a
literal string. This breaks common validation use cases, such as:
n='[0-9]'
case $n in
( [0-9] ) echo "$n is a number" ;;
esac
would output "[0-9] is a number" as the literal string fallback
matches the pattern. As this misbehaviour was never documented
anywhere (not for Bourne, ksh88, or ksh93), and it was never
replicated in other shells (not even in ksh88 clones pdksh and
mksh), it is unlikely any scripts rely on it.
Of course, a literal string fallback, should it be needed, is
trivial to implement correctly without this breakage:
case $n in
( [0-9] | "[0-9]") echo "$n is a number or the number pattern" ;;
esac
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Remove trim_eq() function responsible for implementing the
misbehaviour described above.

- Added. Document this bugfix.
