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.

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:
$ ksh -c 'command -p ls'
ksh: ls: not found
This fix by Siteshwar Vashisht is backported from ksh2020.

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 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.

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

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.

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.
