This new wrapper script sets up the correct environment for running
the ksh93 regression test suite. It allows running the tests
without AST nmake, which is not maintained in this repository.
An alternative ksh to test may be passed in the $KSH env var.
bin/shtests:
- Added. Sets up environment before passing control to
'src/cmd/ksh93/tests/shtest'. Passes on any options given.
NEWS:
- Updated.

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
Ref.: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1093https://github.com/att/ast/pull/1363
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/print.c: b_print():
- Make sure an error result from sfsync() is reflected in the
output builtin's exit status (exitval).
- Write an I/O error message (e_io) if the exit status is nonzero.
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,
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/coprocess.sh:
- Redirect stderr on a few 'print' commands to /dev/null; these
now issue an expected I/O error. This does not cause failures.
NEWS, TODO:
- Update.
(cherry picked from commit 9011fa933552e483dab460f7dd1593d64e059d94)
This fix is backported from the Vashisht/Rader ksh2020 branch.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/print.c:
- Fix syncing history when print -s -f is used. For example, the
following now correctly adds a 'cd' command to the history:
print -s -f 'cd -- %q\n' "$PWD"

src/cmd/ksh93/include/version.h:
- Version date bump.

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.
NEWS:
- Added. Document this bugfix.
