Instead, we now link to the libm system math library where needed
by adding -lm to the relevant compile commands in the Mamfiles.
This is not needed on every system but never does any harm.
(This adds more custom edits to the Mamfiles, which were originally
generated from the nmake Makefiles. This takes us further from
restoring nmake, but that already wasn't going to happen anyway,
due to its many problems... the path forward will be to translate
the Mamfiles to some other, current make system such as GNU make.)
bin/package, src/cmd/INIT/package.sh:
- Remove LDFLAGS=-lm hack for DragonFly BSD, NetBSD and Solaris.
src/cmd/builtin/Mamfile,
src/cmd/ksh93/Mamfile,
src/lib/libdll/Mamfile:
- Add -lm where linking failed on any of the three mentioned OSs.
src/lib/libdll/features/dll:
- In the output test program, add missing #include <math.h>, fixing
unknown identifier errors on NetBSD (ldexp, ldexpl).
src/cmd/builtin/features/pty:
- Add missing #include <stdio.h> to make printf work on all systems
(this is just a feature test, no need to bother with sfio here).
src/lib/libast/features/stdio:
- Undef __FILE_T to avoid interference from system headers on QNX.
(There are still other problems preventing a build on QNX 6.5.0.
The shipped version of gcc seems to be broken.)
This now makes ksh build on DragonFly BSD.
bin/package, src/cmd/INIT/package.sh:
- DragonFly also needs the -lm hack for LDFLAGS.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c, src/cmd/ksh93/tests/basic.sh:
- fixargs() doesn't work on DragonFly either
(re: 9b7c392a, 159fb9ee, cefe087d).

https://github.com/att/ast/issues/26#issuecomment-313927854https://github.com/att/ast/pull/19
src/lib/libast/comp/setlocale.c:
- Add missing #include <errno.h> since errno is used.
src/lib/libast/features/standards:
- Do not set any standards macros (_POSIX_SOURCE etc) on FreeBSD or
DragonflyBSD; they disable too much functionality on those.
src/lib/libast/features/wchar:
- Set _STDFILE_DECLARED on DragonFly, too.

src/lib/libast/sfio/sfhdr.h, src/lib/libast/sfio/sfnew.c,
src/lib/libast/sfio/sfset.c:
- Rename SF_* macros to SFIO_* to avoid a conflict with system
headers.
src/lib/libast/string/strexpr.c:
- Rename error() to err() to avoid a conflict.
bin/package, src/cmd/INIT/package.sh:
- CCFLAGS overwrites the autodetected optimisation flags (e.g. -Os)
if set. Unfortunately, that also happened when we added something
to CCFLAGS for a release build or to add an extra flag needed by
Solaris. The fix is to use a new flags variable (KSH_RELFLAGS)
instead. This needs to be done in a different place as it needs
to be added to the mamake command as an assignment argument.
- Remove the Solaris CCFLAGS hack; see features/common below.
src/*/*/Mamfile:
- Add ${KSH_RELFLAGS} to all the compiler commands.
src/lib/libast/features/common:
- Enable POSIX standard on Solaris (i.e.: if __sun is defined) by
defining _XPG6 directly in the feature test that generates
ast_std.h, which is indirectly included by everything. This
removes the need to pass -D_XPG6 via CCFLAGS. (Doing so
automatically with gcc was not otherwise possible.)
src/cmd/INIT/cc.sol11.*:
- No longer pass -D_XPG6, as per above.
That patch didn't work for non-gcc, non-clang compilers -- at least
Solaris Studio cc. It doesn't prefix error messages with "error:".
As a result, it caused the build to fail on Solaris with native cc.
src/lib/libast/comp/conf.sh:
- Use a sed formula that should catch error messages prefixed by
"line xx:" while still removing warnings and suggestions. This
works on at least clang, gcc, Solaris Studio cc.
src/lib/libast/tm/tvsleep.c:
- Since the 'sleep' builtin was backported/fixed from ksh93v- and
ksh2020, it makes sense to use the latest/last tvsleep(3), too.
Looks like this added an interrupt check (errno == EINTR).
Also, new fallback versions for systems without nanosleep(2).
Documentation: src/lib/libast/man/tv.3 (unchanged)
src/lib/libast/features/float:
- libast attempts to determine the binary representation of Inf and
NaN to use as a fall-back code path for systems that do not
support fpclassify(). The libast feature detection did not get
consistent signatures between builds. To fix this, zero the
memory before determining the signature.
src/lib/libast/sfio/sfcvt.c:
- The fall-back code path is broken because there are multiple
representations for NaN - the important thing is to check the
exponent and for a non-zero significand. The trailing bits can be
random or left over from interim operations. For that reason, to
ensure we never end up using the fall-back code path, explicitly
generate a compile error if we end up there.
Based on a patch from @citrus-it:
8bf59a9a8f
but uses POSIX memset(3) instead of deprecated bzero(3).
conf.sh checks for undefined symbols by parsing compiler output and
looking for strings of capital letters and underscores. Modern gcc
produces suggestions for replacement variables too, for example:
error: '_SC_CLOCKRES_MIN' undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean _POSIX_CLOCKRES_MIN?
_SC_CLOCKRES_MIN,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
_POSIX_CLOCKRES_MIN
This causes good variables to be excluded along with bad, causing differences
between the builtin and system getconf commands.
src/lib/libast/comp/conf.sh:
- Only use lines containing 'error:' and ignore everything starting
from 'did you mean:'. (Note this scripts sets the locale to C.)

This upstreams a Solaris patch:
https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/blob/master/components/ksh93/patches/050-CR7065478.patch
src/lib/libast/comp/setlocale.c:
- Add wide_wctomb() wrapper for wctomb(3). It changes an invalid
character (wctomb returns -1) to a single byte with length 1.
- set_ctype(): Use wide_wctomb() instead of wctomb(3) as the
conversion discipline function (ast.mb_conv). Effectively this
means there are no invalid characters. Perhaps this is necessary
for compatibility with ASCII. Sadly, no public info available.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c,
src/lib/libast/include/error.h:
- Amend the ERROR_PIPE() macro to check for EIO as well as EPIPE
and ECONNRESET.
As of this commit, ksh 93u+m has a standard semantic version number
<https://semver.org/>, beginning with 1.0.0-alpha. This is added to
the version string in a way that should be compatible with scripts
parsing ${.sh.version} or $(ksh --version). This addition does not
replace the release date and does not affect $((.sh.version)).
For non-release builds, the version string will be:
FORK/VERSION+HASH YYYY-MM-DD
e.g.: 93u+m/1.0.0-alpha+41ef7f76 2021-01-03
For release builds, it will be:
FORK/VERSION YYYY-MM-DD
e.g.: 93u+m/1.0.0 2021-01-03
It is now automatically decided by bin/package whether to build a
release or development build. When building from a directory that
is not a git repository, or if the current git branch name starts
with a number (e.g. '1.0'), the release build is enabled; otherwise
a development build is the default. This is arranged by adding -D
flags to $CCFLAGS as described below. These flags are prepended to
$CCFLAGS, so they can be overridden by adding your own -D or -U
flags via the environment.
In addition, AST vmalloc is disabled for release builds as of this
commit, forcing the use of the OS's standard malloc(3). In 2021,
this is generally more reliable, faster, and more economical with
memory than AST vmalloc. Several memory leaks and crashing bugs are
avoided, e.g.: <https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/95>.
For development builds, vmalloc stays enabled (along with its known
bugs) because this allows the use of the vmstat builtin, making it
much more efficient to test for memory leaks. For more info, see
the regression test script: src/cmd/ksh93/tests/leaks.sh
bin/package, src/cmd/INIT/package.sh:
- Add flags for build type. In $CCFLAGS, define _AST_ksh_release if
we're not on any git branch or on a git branch whose name starts
with a number. Otherwise, define _AST_git_commit as the first 8
characters of the current git commit hash.
src/lib/libast/features/vmalloc:
- If _AST_ksh_release is defined, disable vmalloc and force use of
the operating system's malloc. Discussion:
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/95
src/cmd/ksh93/include/version.h:
- Define new format for version string, adding a semantic version
number as well as (for non-release builds) the git commit hash.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c: e_version[]:
- Add a 'v' to the ${.sh.version} feature string if ksh was
compiled with vmalloc enabled. This allows scripts, such as
regression tests, to detect this.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c: sh_optksh[]:
- Add a copyright line crediting the contributors to ksh 93u+m.

Red Hat erratum: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1221766
"Previously, the gcc utility optimized out a non-NULL test in the
ksh implementation of the strdup() function. This caused an
unexpected termination when ksh was executed in a clean chroot
environment. With this update, ksh compilation parameters have been
updated to prevent optimizing out a non-NULL test, and ksh no
longer crashes in clean chroot environments."
The optimizer bug occurs in that function's single-line body:
return (s && (t = oldof(0, char, n = strlen(s) + 1, 0))) ? (char*)memcpy(t, s, n) : (char*)0;
So it must be the test for non-NULL 's' that fails. And 's' is
declared in the function definition, as follows:
extern char*
strdup(register const char* s)
So that makes me wonder if we can work around the bug by simply
removing the 'const' (and the 'register' while we're at it).
However, I have no easy way to verify that at the moment. The Red
Hat patch instead tells gcc to disable optimization for this
function using a #pragma directive.
I have no idea if that gcc optimiser bug has been fixed in the
meantime, but experience from c258a04f has shown that we cannot
trust that it has been fixed (that other optimizer bug is at least
a decade old and still not fixed). So, in it goes, until someone
shows evidence that we no longer need it.
Original patch:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ksh/blob/642af4d6/f/ksh-20120801-badgcc.patch
src/lib/libast/string/strdup.c:
- Tell GCC to disable all optimisations for strdup().
_sfcvt(), "convert a floating point value to ASCII", did not adjust
for negative decimal place movement as what happens with leading
zeroes. This caused ksh's 'printf %f' formatter to fail to round
floating point values correctly.
src/lib/libast/sfio/sfcvt.c:
- Removed constraint of <1e-8 for doubles by matching what was done
for long doubles having <.1.
- Corrected a condition when the next power of 10 occurred and that
new 1 digit was being overwritten by a 0.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/math.sh:
- Validate that typeset -E/F formatting matches that of their
equivalent printf formatting options as well as checking for
correct float scaling of the fractional parts.
To find the temporary files directory to use, the pathtemp()
function (generate a unique path to a temporary file) first checks
$TMPDIR and $TMPPATH, then falls back to /tmp, then to /usr/tmp as
a last resort. But all systems replaced /usr/tmp by /var/tmp
decades ago to allow mounting /usr as read-only, and a /usr/tmp
compatibility symlink is no longer commonly provided.
src/lib/libast/path/pathtemp.c:
- Change TMP2 definition from "/usr/tmp" to "/var/tmp".
src/lib/libast/features/mmap,
src/lib/libast/features/stdio:
- Change "/usr/tmp" to "/var/tmp" in feature tests.
All changed files:
- Put the shell in POSIX mode if it has an '-o posix' option.
- Remove nonsense disabling 'set -x' on bash. It's not broken.
bin/package, src/cmd/INIT/package.sh:
- Add check blocking native zsh mode (e.g., "$path" conflicts).
Using a 'sh -> zsh' symlink works, so recommend that.
- Remove old ksh93 version check for a supposed conflict with
libcmd. It was broken; it would revert to /bin/sh, but on illumos
distributions, /bin/sh is a ksh93 of a version that is supposedly
affected. It builds fine anyway.
- Rewrite checksh() to incorporate the shell compatibility checks
that were previously in two different places in 'package'.
bin/ignore, src/cmd/INIT/ignore.sh,
bin/silent, src/cmd/INIT/silent.sh:
- Change bad check for a full POSIX 'export' command (no, $RANDOM
has nothing to do with that) with a proper feature test.
This fixes a hanging bug that could occur on macOS when using the
'read' command to read from a FIFO and encountering end-of-file
without a final newline character. It also makes the 'read' command
perform 15-25% faster on macOS and Linux.
The previous version (ff385e5a) failed on SunOS/Solaris/Illumos
because those systems apparently don't (fully) support the POSIX
standard recv(2) syscall with MSG_PEEK[*], which is the feature
that iffe detects under the 'socket_peek' identifier. On Illumos,
using that methods causes a compilation failure (unknown identifier
MSG_PEEK); on Solaris 11.4, that method causes multiple regressions
in tests/io.sh, suggesting the method compiles but doesn't work at
all. Instead, SunOS/Solaris/Illumos requires the method using
ioctl(2)+I_PEEK and select(2). No other system that ksh currently
builds on requires this method, so it is now only used on
SunOS/Solaris/Illumos.
So far, this version of sfpkrd() has been tested to work correctly
on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, HP-UX, Solaris, and
OmniOS (an Illumos distribution).
It still fails to peek on Cygwin, but in the exact same way it
failed before, so that's no loss.
To test, run the 'io' test set: bin/shtests -p io
src/lib/libast/sfio/sfpkrd.c: sfpkrd():
- Remove long-obsolete Mac OS X and Solaris bug workarounds.
- Remove methods that are no longer needed.
On systems with a POSIX compliant recv(2), the only thing that
is required to avoid regressions is the code that was conditional
upon the socket_peek feature test, which tests for the correct
functioning of the recv(2) syscall. This has now been made
mandatory for non-SunOS/Solaris/Illumos systems (using an #error
directive if it is not detected), with the other methods removed.
The result performs 15-25% faster on macOS and Linux while
passing all the regression tests.
On macOS, avoiding the select(2) method fixes the hanging bug.
On SunOS/Solaris/Illumos (the '__sun' identifier), the method
using ioctl(2)+I_PEEK and select(2) (iffe feature IDs:
stream_peek and lib_select) is preserved.

A memory leak occurred upon leaving a virtual subshell if a
function was defined within it. If this was done more than 32766
(= 2^15-2 = the 'short' max value - 1) times, the shell crashed.
Discussion and reproducer: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/114
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c: table_unset():
- A subshell-defined function was never freed because a broken
check for autoloaded functions (which must not be freed[*]). It
looked for an initial '/' in the canonical path of the script
file that defined the function, but that path is also stored for
regular functions. Now use a check that executes nv_search() in
fpathdict, the same method used in _nv_unset() in name.c for a
regular function unset.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/misc.c: b_dot_cmd():
- Fix an additional memory leak introduced in bd88cc7f, that caused
POSIX functions (which are run with b_dot_cmd() like dot scripts)
to leak extra. This fix avoids both the crash fixed there and the
memory leak by introducing a 'tofree' variable remembering the
filename to free. Thanks to Johnothan King for the patch.
src/lib/libast/include/stk.h,

src/lib/libast/man/stak.3:
- Make the stack more resilient by extending the stack reference
counter 'stkref' from (signed) short to unsigned int. On modern
systems with 32-bit ints, this extends the maximum number of
elements on a stack from 2^15-1==32767 to 2^32-1==4294967295.
The ref counter can never be negative, so there is no reason for
signedness. sizeof(int) is defined as the size of a single CPU
word, so this should not affect performance at all.
On a 16-bit system (not that ksh still compiles there), this
doubles the max number of entries to 2^16-1=65535.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/leaks.sh:
- Add leak regression tests for ksh functions, POSIX functions, dot
scripts run with '.', and dot scripts run with 'source'.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/path.sh:
- Add an output builtin with a redirect to an autoloaded function
so that a crash[*] is triggered if the check for an autoloaded

As of aa4669ad, astconf("PATH") is implemented as a hardcoded AST
configuration variable that always has a value, instead of one that
falls back on the OS. Its value is now obtained from the OS (with a
fallback) at configure time and not at runtime. This means that any
fallback for astconf("PATH") is now never used.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/msg.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/include/shell.h:
- Remove e_defpath[]. (The path "/bin:/usr/bin:" made no sense as a
default path anyway, as the final empty element is wrong: default
utilities should never be sought in the current working dir.)
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/path.c,
src/lib/libast/path/pathbin.c:
- abort() if astconf("PATH") returns null.
src/lib/libast/comp/conf.tab: PATH:
- If no 'getconf' utility can be found, use a fallback path that
finds more utilities by also searching in 'sbin' directories.
On some systems, this is needed to find chown(1).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Update doc re default path.
There are convincing arguments why including '.' and '..' in the
result of pathname expansion is actively harmful. See:
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1228https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/58#issuecomment-653716846
pdksh, mksh and zsh already skip these special traversal names
in all cases. This commit makes ksh act like these shells.
Since passing '.' and especially '..' as arguments to commands like
'chmod -R' and 'cp -r' may cause harm, this change seems likely to
fix more legacy scripts than it breaks. I'm unaware of anyone ever
having come up with a concrete use case for the old behaviour.
This change also fixes the bug that '.' and '..' failed to be
ignored as documented if FIGNORE is set.
src/lib/libast/misc/glob.c: glob_dir():
- Explicitly skip any matching '.' and '..' in all cases.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/glob.sh:
- Add test_glob() tests for '*' and '.*'.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1: File Name Generation:
- Update to match new behaviour.
Resolves: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/58
src/lib/libast/tm/tmxfmt.c:
- Making %l and %k aliases to %_I and %_H caused zero padding with
%0l and %0k to fail. Fix that by fully implementing %l and %k
without 'goto push'. This duplicates code from %I and %H, but it
is necessary for these formats to work correctly when zero padded.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add a regression test for manually specifying blank and zero
padding with sixteen different formats.
It was working on Solaris 11.3, but there were still problems
building on Solaris 11.4 with GCC (as on the evaluation VM
downloaded directly from Oracle):
1. ksh immediately segfaulted. Experimenting with the compiler
flags Oracle uses revealed that we need to define _XPG6 for ksh
not to segfault. Why is a mystery.
2. The default path logic used by 'command -p' and the 'getconf
PATH' builtin command was still broken: the result did not
include any of the /usr/xpg?/bin directories where the standard
POSIX utilities actually live. Testing shows that the result of
the C language probe 'confstr(_CS_PATH,name,length)' is broken
on Solaris (it only yields the paths to the historic
non-standard utilities, defeating the purpose) unless _XPG7 is
defined; but the latter makes ksh segfault again. So another
solution is needed.
src/cmd/INIT/package.sh, bin/package:
- Add another hack to add the -D_XPG6 flag to CCFLAGS if we're
running SunOS aka Solaris. (I've tried to add a 'cc.sol11' script
to src/cmd/INIT/ instead, but for some reason that I just don't
have time to figure out, the INIT system ignores that on Solaris
with gcc, so this is the only way I could come up with. Any
patches for less hacky alternatives would be welcome.)
src/lib/libast/comp/conf.sh:
- Sanitise the code for finding the best 'getconf' utility.
src/lib/libast/comp/conf.tab: PATH:
- Since the C-languge getconf(_CS_PATH,...) is broken on Solaris
11.4, replace the C language probe with a shell script probe that
uses the external 'getconf' utility.
- To avoid ksh overriding the result of this probe with the result
of its own getconf(_CS_PATH,...) call, which would make Solaris
use the wrong value again, specify this as an AST configuration
entry instead of a POSIX entry. This should be good enough for
all systems; the OS 'getconf' utility should be reliable and the
default path value is constant for each OS, so can be hardcoded.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add another 'sleep .1' to the 'sleep -s 31' test as it was still
intermittently failing on Solaris and possibly other systems.
Solaris, Illumos distributions, and NetBSD need LDFLAGS set to link
explicitly to libm, otherwise, due to as-yet unknown reasons, the
src/lib/libdll/features/dll fails to write a valid header file and
compilation fails due to unknown identifiers such as Dllscan_t.
This commit adds the flag on those systems.
NixOS is a Linux distro that uses very different paths from the
usual Unix conventions (though it's POSIX compliant), and the
regression tests still needed a lot of tweaks to be compatible.
src/cmd/INIT/package.sh, bin/package:
- On SunOS (Solaris and illumos distros) and NetBSD, add '-lm' to
LDFLAGS before compiling.
src/cmd/INIT/mamprobe.sh, bin/mamprobe,
src/cmd/INIT/execrate.sh, bin/execrate:
- Instead of only in /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin and /usr/sbin, search
utilities in the path given by the OS 'getconf PATH', and use the
user's original $PATH as a fallback.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/*.sh:
- Miscellaneous portability fixes, mainly elimination of unportable
hardcoded paths to commands.
- basic.sh: Remove test for 'time' keyword millisecond precision.
It was racy and could fail depending on system and system load.
This fixes 'command -p' for systems where getconf(1) lives
somewhere other than in /bin or /usr/bin, i.e. NixOS.
src/lib/libast/comp/conf.tab:
- To determine the default path value for AST 'getconf PATH' and
'command -p', compile a small C program to get the correct local
default path value (_CS_PATH) from the operating system so it
gets hardcoded in the ksh binary. This eliminates the need to to
invoke 'getconf PATH' to get this value, which fixes a catch-22
problem on systems where getconf(1) exists somewhere other than
/bin or /usr/bin.
src/*/*/Mamfile,
src/lib/libast/Makefile:
- There were a few instances where the CCFLAGS and LDFLAGS were missing
in the Mamfiles and a Makefile. This commit fixes the problem by merging
the changes from Debian's blhc.diff patch:
f8fea737c9/debian/patches/blhc.diff
Support for the long-dead 3DFS userland versioning file system was
already removed from ksh93 (although I'd overlooked some minor
things), but libast still supported it. This removes that too.

In a locale other than C/POSIX, ksh produces corrupted usage
messages for alternatives, e.g. this output of 'typeset -\?':
| Usage: typeset [-bflmnprstuxACHS] [-a[type]] [-i[base]] <..CUT..>
| [-T[tname]] [-Z[n]] [name[=value]...]
| Or:[name[=value]...]
| typeset[name[=value]...]
| [[name[=value]...]
| options[name[=value]...]
| ] -f [name...]
Correct output is:
| Usage: typeset [-bflmnprstuxACHS] [-a[type]] [-i[base]] <..CUT..>
| [-T[tname]] [-Z[n]] [name[=value]...]
| Or: typeset [ options ] -f [name...]
Similar corruption occurs in --help and --man output.
This bug is ancient: it's already in ksh 1993-12-28 s+.
ksh2020 has this fixed. A 'git bisect' run pinpointed the fix
to this commit, which fixes the ERROR_translating macro after
removing the AST-specific locale subsystem:
https://github.com/att/ast/commit/4abc061e
But making the same change in ksh 93u+m produced no results
(probably because we have not removed that subsystem).
However, disabling the use of translation macros in optget.sh
altogether (replacing them with dummies that were already coded in
a preprocessor directive fallback for a reduced standalone libast)
turns out to work. It's not as if there is actually any translation
anyway, so this effectively fixes this bug.
The actual cause of this bug remains mysterious, but should be
somewhere in the AST translation and/or locale subsystem.
src/lib/libast/misc/optget.c:
- Use fallback translation macros.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add regression tests for output of -?, --?x, --help and --man
for a usage string with an alternative ("Or:") usage message.
Before the fix, these failed when running the tests in the
C.UTF-8 locale (as in 'bin/shtests -u builtins').
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.
This shows a better layout in '--man' or '--nroff' output.
src/lib/libast/misc/optget.c:
- Incorporate the '--help | --man' addition in the printf format
instead of hardcoding it in the default options string.
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
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.
To get ksh to prefer UTC over GMT in 'printf %T' output, only the
change in format[] was needed. The corresponding change in zone[]
made it prefer UTC for London time, even in summer time, which is
wrong -- e.g.:
$ LANG=C TZ=Europe/London arch/*/bin/ksh -c 'date; printf %T\\n now'
Tue Jun 30 01:39:09 BST 2020
Tue Jun 30 00:39:09 UTC 2020
src/lib/libast/tm/tmdata.c:
- Revert change in zone[].
"UTC" is the modern name for what used to be "GMT", but ksh still
preferred GMT. On systems configured to use the UTC time zone, this
caused a 'printf %T' regression test failure in tests/builtins.sh
as the external 'data' utility will prefer UTC these days.
src/lib/libast/tm/tmdata.c:
- Reorder the name alternatives for UTC/GMT so that UTC is
the first preference.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Report expected and actual values on 'printf %T' failure.

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 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.
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/history.c:
- The `time_t` data type is usually 64-bit, so cast `t` to an
unsigned long and use the correct format specifier with sfprintf.
src/lib/libast/tm/tmdata.c:
- Update the leap second array by adding the current leap
seconds that were absent, being:
2016-12-31+23:59:60 1483228826
2015-06-30+23:59:60 1435708825
2012-06-30+23:59:60 1341100824
I couldn't find a proper list of leap seconds in Unix Epoch time,
so I used an Epoch Converter:
https://www.epochconverter.com/
The converter doesn't support leap seconds, so each conversion
had to be corrected by adding the number of leap seconds required
(e.g. 1230767999 + 24 = 1230768023, for 2008-12-31+23:59:60 in GMT).
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.
A column of whitespace in the NEWS file was removed for consistent
formatting. Most of the spelling errors were found with this
codespell dictionary:
