This commit adds support for 'stty size' to the stty builtin, as
defined in <https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1053>. The size
mode is used to display the terminal's number of rows and columns.
Note that stty isn't included in the default list of builtin
commands; testing this addition requires adding CMDLIST(stty) to
the table of builtins in src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c.
src/lib/libcmd/stty.c:
- Add support for the size mode to the stty builtin. This mode is
only used to display the terminal's number of rows and columns,
so error out if any arguments are given that attempt to set the
terminal size.
For some reason, Void Linux (with musl libc) sets SIGCONT to
ignored on the Linux console, causing the 'sleep -s' test in
builtins.sh to fail spuriously as it relies on SIGCONT to work.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/shtests:
- Reset SIGCONT using the unadvertised 'trap + SIGCONT' feature.

As I got to know the code better, it now seems painfully obvious
that getting test/[ to issue an exit status >= 2 on error only
requires a simple check in sh_exit() in fault.c, which is called
whenever the shell issues an error message.
Parser limitations prevent shcomp or source from handling enum
types correctly:
$ cat /tmp/colors.sh
enum Color_t=(red green blue orange yellow)
Color_t -A Colors=([foo]=red)
$ shcomp /tmp/colors.sh > /dev/null
/tmp/colors.sh: syntax error at line 2: `(' unexpected
$ source /tmp/colors.sh
/bin/ksh: source: syntax error: `(' unexpected
Yet, for types created using 'typeset -T', this works. This is done
via a check_typedef() function that preliminarily adds the special
declaration builtin at parse time, with details to be filled in
later at execution time.
This hack will produce ugly undefined behaviour if the definition
command creating that type built-in is then not actually run at
execution time before the type built-in is accessed.
But the hack is necessary because we're dealing with a fundamental
design flaw in the ksh language. Dynamically addable built-ins that
change the syntactic parsing of the shell language on the fly are
an absurdity that violates the separation between parsing and
execution, which muddies the waters and creates the need for some
kind of ugly hack to keep things like shcomp more or less working.
This commit extends that hack to support enum.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c:
- check_typedef():
- Add 'intypeset' parameter that should be set to 1 for typeset
and friends, 2 for enum.
- When processing enum arguments, use AST getopt(3) to skip over
enum's options to find the name of the type to be defined.
(getopt failed if we were running a -c script; deal with this
by zeroing opt_info.index first.)
- item(): Update check_typedef() call, passing lexp->intypeset.
- simple(): Set lexp->intypeset to 2 when processing enum.
The rest of the changes are all to support the above and should be
fairly obvious, except:
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/enum.c:
- enuminfo(): Return on null pointer, avoiding a crash upon
executing 'Type_t --man' if Type_t has not been fully defined due
to the definition being pre-added at parse time but not executed.
It's all still wrong, but a crash is worse.
Resolves: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/256
Listing types with 'typeset -T' will list not only types created with
typeset, but also types created with enum. However, the types created
by enum are not displayed correctly in the resulting output:
$ enum Foo_t=(foo bar)
$ typeset -T
typeset -T Foo_t
typeset -T Foo_t=fo)
The fix for this bug was backported from ksh93v- 2013-10-08.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvtype.c:
- sh_outtype(): Skip over enums when listing types with 'typeset -T'.
The referenced commit did not fix the symptoms on the 1.0 branch
(no vmalloc) on the GitHub CI runners.
The failures are intermittent and are not reproduced with vmalloc
or on other operating systems.
Though the failures occur on a different test each time, the total
amount of "leaked" bytes is always 36864, e.g.:
leaks.sh[388]: run command with preceding PATH assignment in
main shell (leaked approx 36864 bytes after 4096 iterations)
36864/4096 equals exactly 9. An odd number, literally and
figuratively, but I suppose that's the tolerance Linux needs.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/leaks.sh
- Increase tolerance of bytes per iteration from 8 to 9.
This commit fixes an issue I found in the subshell $RANDOM
reseeding code.
The main issue is a performance regression in the shbench fibonacci
benchmark, introduced in commit af6a32d1. Performance dropped in
this benchmark because $RANDOM is always reseeded and restored,
even when it's never used in a subshell. Performance results from
before and after this performance fix (results are on Linux with
CC=gcc and CCFLAGS='-O2 -D_std_malloc'):

src/cmd/ksh93/include/variables.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/{init,subshell}.c:
- Rather than reseed $RANDOM every time a subshell is created, add
a sh_save_rand_seed() function that does this only when the
$RANDOM variable is used in a subshell. This function is called
by the $RANDOM discipline functions nget_rand() and put_rand().
As a minor optimization, sh_save_rand_seed doesn't reseed if it's
called from put_rand().
- Because $RANDOM may have a seed of zero (i.e., RANDOM=0),
sp->rand_seed isn't enough to tell if $RANDOM has been reseeded.
Add sp->rand_state for this purpose.
- sh_subshell(): Only restore the former $RANDOM seed and state if
it is necessary to prevent a subshell leak.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Add two regression tests for bugs I ran into while making this
patch.
The ksh manual page is one of the few places that calls globbing
"file name generation". The mksh and zsh manuals use the same term.
But every other shell's manual calls it "pathname expansion": bash,
dash, yash, FreeBSD sh. So does ksh's built-in documentation (alias
--man, export --man, readonly --man, set --man, typeset --man).
What's more, the authoritative ksh reference, Bolsky & Korn's 1995
"The New Kornshell" book, also calls it "pathname expansion", and
so does the POSIX standard.
Similarly, "arithmetic substitution" should be called "arithmetic
expansion" per Bolsky & Korn as well as POSIX.
This commit has several other miscellaneous documentation tweaks as
well.
'printf' on bash and zsh has a popular -v option that allows
assigning formatted output directly to variables without using a
command substitution. This is much faster and avoids snags with
stripping final linefeeds. AT&T had replicated this feature in the
abandoned 93v- beta version. This backports it with a few tweaks
and one user-visible improvement.
The 93v- version prohibited specifying a variable name with an
array subscript, such as printf -v var\[3\] foo. This works fine on
bash and zsh, so I see no reason why this should not work on ksh,
as nv_putval() deals with array subscripts just fine.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/print.c: b_print():
- While processing the -v option when called as printf, get a
pointer to the variable, creating it if necessary. Pass only the
NV_VARNAME flag to enforce a valid variable name, and not (as
93v- does) the NV_NOARRAY flag to prohibit array subscripts.
- If a variable was given, set the output file to an internal
string buffer and jump straight to processing the format.
- After processing the format, assign the contents to the string
buffer to the variable.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c:
- Document the new option, adding a warning that unquoted square
brackets may trigger pathname expansion.
%(pattern)q is equivalent to %P. It's also equivalent to %#P, but
since the alternative format specifier '#' does nothing for %P,
%P and %#P are the same and documenting #%P is just confusing.
Thanks to @stephane-chazelas for the report.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/print.c:
- In the printmap struct, document %P as equivalent of %(pattern)q.
- Sort it alphabetically.
- Do not pointlessly repeat the string "Equivalent to". Instead,
let the discipline function infof() insert it for each entry.
(This is the function used to dynamically insert the equivalents
documentation into the --man output at the \fextra\f tag in
sh_optprintf[] in data/builtins.c.)

An obsolete struct was left that passed some variables on between
b_exec() and the deleted B_login(). We can simply make those local
variables now. Let's get rid of the redundant sh pointer, too.
As the (original AT&T) comment at the top says, "the trickiest part
of the tests is avoiding typeahead in the pty dialogue".
Two tests failed to [p]eek at the prompt before they started
'typing'. This causes unpredictable results. On Debian Bullseye
this triggers typeahead, which produces unwanted echo to the
terminal, killing the tests.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/pty.sh:
- Add missing 'p' commands for the first prompt to the tests
'nobackslashctrl in emacs' and 'emacs backslash escaping'.
Resolves: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/332
Tried to compile on Solaris 10.1 for the first time in a while.
Turns out the obsolete Bourne /bin/sh does not support 'test -e'.
bin/package, src/cmd/INIT/package.sh:
- Use 'test -f' instead.
In C/POSIX arithmetic, a leading 0 denotes an octal number, e.g.
010 == 8. But this is not a desirable feature as it can cause
problems with processing things like dates with a leading zero.
In ksh, you should use 8#10 instead ("10" with base 8).
It would be tolerable if ksh at least implemented it consistently.
But AT&T made an incredible mess of it. For anyone who is not
intimately familiar with ksh internals, it is inscrutable where
arithmetic evaluation special-cases a leading 0 and where it
doesn't. Here are just some of the surprises/inconsistencies:
1. The AT&T maintainers tried to honour a leading 0 inside of
((...)) and $((...)) and not for arithmetic contexts outside it,
but even that inconsistency was never quite consistent.
2. Since 2010-12-12, $((x)) and $(($x)) are different:
$ /bin/ksh -c 'x=010; echo $((x)) $(($x))'
10 8
That's a clear violation of both POSIX and the principle of
least astonishment. $((x)) and $(($x)) should be the same in
all cases.
3. 'let' with '-o letoctal' acts in this bizarre way:
$ set -o letoctal; x=010; let "y1=$x" "y2=010"; echo $y1 $y2
10 8
That's right, 'let y=$x' is different from 'let y=010' even
when $x contains the same string value '010'! This violates
established shell grammar on the most basic level.
This commit introduces consistency. By default, ksh now acts like
mksh and zsh: the octal leading zero is disabled in all arithmetic
contexts equally. In POSIX mode, it is enabled equally.
The one exception is the 'let' built-in, where this can still be
controlled independently with the letoctal option as before (but,
because letoctal is synched with posix when switching that on/off,
it's consistent by default).
We're also removing the hackery that causes variable expansions for
the 'let' builtin to be quietly altered, so that 'x=010; let y=$x'
now does the same as 'let y=010' even with letoctal on.
Various files:
- Get rid of now-redundant sh.inarith (shp->inarith) flag, as we're
no longer distinguishing between being inside or outside ((...)).
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/arith.c:
- arith(): Let disabling POSIX octal constants by skipping leading
zeros depend on either the letoctal option being off (if we're
running the "let" built-in") or the posix option being off.
- sh_strnum(): Preset a base of 10 for strtonll(3) depending on the
posix or letoctal option being off, not on the sh.inarith flag.
src/cmd/ksh93/include/argnod.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/args.c,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/macro.c:
- Remove astonishing hackery that violated shell grammar for 'let'.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/name.c (nv_getnum()),
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/nvdisc.c (nv_getn()):
- Remove loops for skipping leading zeroes that included a broken
check for justify/zerofill attributes, thereby fixing this bug:
$ typeset -Z x=0x15; echo $((x))
-ksh: x15: parameter not set
Even if this code wasn't redundant before, it is now: sh_arith()
is called immediately after the removed code and it ignores
leading zeroes via sh_strnum() and strtonll(3).

When starting a new interactive ksh with the -v or -x option, an
annoying symptom occurs: the 'tput' command that ed_setup() issues
to get the escape sequence for cursor-up is xtraced or echoed,
corrupting prompt display, for example ('▂' is the cursor):
$ ksh -x
$ + /usr/bin/tput cuu1
+ 2> /dev/null
+ .sh.subscript=$'\E[A'
▂
or
$ ksh -v
$ .sh.subscript=$(/usr/bin/tput cuu1 2>/dev/null)▂
src/cmd/ksh93/edit/edit.c: ed_setup():
- Turn off xtrace and verbose while sh_trap()ing tput.
So, shcomp has messed up my terminal once too often by writing
compiled binary data to it. While fixing that I've done some other
tweaks as well.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/shcomp.c: main():
- Fix error/warning message id (the "name:" prefix before messages)
so it makes sense to the user. Save shcomp's argv[0] id for error
messages that are directly from shcomp's main(), and use the
argv[1] script id (set by sh_init()) for warnings produced by the
compilation process. If there is no script id because we're
reading from stdin, set it to "(stdin)".
- If no arguments are given, refuse to read from standard input if
it's on a tty. Instead, write a brief usage message (with pointer
to --help and --man, see e21a053e) and exit. This is far more
helpful; people will rarely want to compile a script by manually
typing it in. If you really want to do that, use /dev/stdin as
the input filename. :)
- Error out if we're about to write binary data to a tty (even if
/dev/stdout was given as the output filename).
- Turn off SH_MULTILINE to avoid some pointless editor init in case
we're reading from stdin on a terminal.
- Do not attempt to copy remaining data if we're already at EOF.
This fixes a bug that required the user to press Ctrl+D twice
when manually entering a script on the terminal. Pressing Ctrl+D
once and then entering more data would corrupt the bytecode.
This commit fixes two file descriptor leaks in the hist built-in.
The bugfix for the first file descriptor leak was backported from
ksh2020. See:
https://github.com/att/ast/issues/872https://github.com/att/ast/commit/73bd61b5
Reproducer:
$ echo no
$ hist -s no=yes
The second file descriptor leak occurs after a substitution error
in the hist built-in (this leak wasn't fixed in ksh2020).
Reproducer:
$ echo no
$ ls /proc/$$/fd
$ hist -s no=yes
$ hist -s no=yes
$ ls /proc/$$/fd
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/hist.c:
- Close leftover file descriptors when an error occurs and after
'hist -s' runs a command.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Add two regression tests for both of the file descriptor leaks.
When testing whether subshell $RANDOM reseeding worked, checking
for non-identical numbers is not sufficient. There is no check for
randomly occurring duplicate numbers, nor can there be, because
subshells cannot (or, in the case of virtual subshells, should not)
influence each other or the parent shell.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Try up to three times, tolerating identical numbers twice.
The --posix compliance option now disables the case-insensitive
special floating point constants Inf and NaN so that all case
variants of $((inf)) and $((nan)) refer to the variables by those
names as the standard requires. (BUG_ARITHNAN)
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/arith.c: arith():
- Only do case-insensitive checks for "Inf" and "NaN" if the POSIX
option is off.
e_badnum from streval.h and e_number from shell.h are both defined
as "%s: bad number". We only need one. Remove the one that is used
only once: e_badnum.
Turns out there is a way to check what built-in we're running at
any time. It is done for 'let' in arith.c:
sh.bltindata.bnode==SYSLET
For test/[, that would be (see include/builtins.h):
sh.bltindata.bnode==SYSTEST || sh.bltindata.bnode==SYSBRACKET
ksh crashed after unsetting .sh.match and then matching a pattern:
$ unset .sh.match
$ [[ bar == ba* ]]
Memory fault
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c: sh_setmatch():
- Do nothing if we cannot get an array pointer to SH_MATCHNOD.
There are one or two leaks that show up intermittently on the
Github runners for the 1.0 branch (which is compiled as a release,
i.e. no vmalloc). If they're intermittent, they must be false
positives due to malloc artefacts. Let's double the number of
iterations for the /proc/$$/stat method and see what happens.
Symptoms:
$ test \( string1 -a string2 \)
/usr/local/bin/ksh: test: argument expected
$ test \( string1 -o string2 \)
/usr/local/bin/ksh: test: argument expected
The parentheses should be irrelevant and this should be a test for
the non-emptiness of string1 and/or string2.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c:
- b_test(): There is a block where the case of 'test' with five or
less arguments, the first and last one being parentheses, is
special-cased. The parentheses are removed as a workaround: argv
is increased to skip the opening parenthesis and argc is
decreased by 2. However, there is no corresponding increase of
tdata.av which is a copy of this function's argv. This renders
the workaround ineffective. The fix is to add that increase.
- e3(): Do not handle '!' as a negator if not followed by an
argument. This allows a right-hand expression that is equal to
'!' (i.e. a test for the non-emptiness of the string '!').
In ksh88, the test/[ built-in supported both the '<' and '>'
lexical sorting comparison operators, same as in [[. However, in
every version of ksh93, '<' does not work though '>' still does!
Still, the code for both is present in test_binop():
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c
548: case TEST_SGT:
549: return(strcoll(left, right)>0);
550: case TEST_SLT:
551: return(strcoll(left, right)<0);
Analysis: The binary operators are looked up in shtab_testops[] in
data/testops.c using a macro called sh_lookup, which expands to a
sh_locate() call. If we examine that function in sh/string.c, it's
easy to see that on systems using ASCII (i.e. all except IBM
mainframes), it assumes the table is sorted in ASCII order.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/string.c
64: while((c= *tp->sh_name) && (CC_NATIVE!=CC_ASCII || c <= first))
The problem was that the '<' operator was not correctly sorted in
shtab_testops[]; it was sorted immediately before '>', but after
'='. The ASCII order is: < (60), = (61), > (62). This caused '<' to
never be found in the table.
The test_binop() function is also used by [[, yet '<' always worked
in that. This is because the parser has code that directly checks
for '<' and '>' within [[ (in sh/parse.c, lines 1949-1952).
This commit also adds '=~' to 'test', which took three lines of
code and allowed eliminating error handling in test_binop() as
test/[ and [[ now support the same binary ops. (re: fc2d5a60)
src/cmd/ksh93/*/*.[ch]:
- Rename a couple of very misleadingly named macros in test.h:
. For == and !=, the TEST_PATTERN bit is off for pattern compares
and on for literal string compares! Rename to TEST_STRCMP.
. The TEST_BINOP bit does not denote all binary operators, but
only the logical -a/-o ops in test/[. Rename to TEST_ANDOR.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c: test_binop():
- Add support for =~. This is only used by test/[. The method is
implemented in two lines that convert the ERE to a shell pattern
by prefixing it with ~(E), then call test_strmatch with that
temporary string to match the ERE and update ${.sh.match}.
- Since all binary ops from shtab_testops[] are now accounted for,
remove unknown op error handling from this function.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/testops.c:
- shtab_testops[]:
. Correctly sort the '<' (TEST_SLT) entry.
. Remove ']]' (TEST_END). It's not an op and doesn't belong here.
- Update sh_opttest[] documentation with =~, \<, \>.
- Remove now-unused e_unsupported_op[] error message.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/lex.c: sh_lex():
- Check for ']]' directly instead of relying on the removed
TEST_END entry from shtab_testops[].
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/bracket.sh:
- Add relevant tests.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Fix an old test that globally deleted the 'test' builtin. Delete
it within the command substitution subshell only.
- Remove the test for non-support of =~ in test/[.
- Update the test for invalid test/[ op to use test directly.
POSIX requires
test "$a" -a "$b"
to return true if both $a and $b are non-empty, and
test "$a" -o "$b"
to return true if either $a or $b is non-empty.
In ksh, this fails if "$a" is '!' or '(' as this causes ksh to
interpret the -a and -o as unary operators (-a being a file
existence test like -e, and -o being a shell option test).
$ test ! -a ""; echo "$?"
0 (expected: 1/false)
$ set -o trackall; test ! -o trackall; echo "$?"
1 (expected: 0/true)
$ test \( -a \); echo "$?"
ksh: test: argument expected
2 (expected: 0/true)
$ test \( -o \)
ksh: test: argument expected
2 (expected: 0/true)
Unfortunately this problem cannot be fixed without risking breakage
in legacy scripts. For instance, a script may well use
test ! -a filename
to check that a filename is nonexistent. POSIX specifies that this
always return true as it is a test for the non-emptiness of both
strings '!' and 'filename'.
So this commit fixes it for POSIX mode only.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c: e3():
- If the posix option is active, specially handle the case of
having at least three arguments with the second being -a or -o,
overriding their handling as unary operators.
src/cmd/ksh93/data/testops.c:
- Update 'test --man --' date and say that unary -a is deprecated.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh.1:
- Document the fix under the -o posix option.
- For test/[, explain that binary -a/-o are deprecated.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/bracket.sh:
- Add tests based on reproducers in bug report.

On Linux, the 'su' program sets $0 to '-su' when doing 'su -' or
'su - username'. When ksh is the target account's default shell,
this caused ksh to consider itself to be launched as a standard
POSIX sh, which (among other things) disables the default aliases
on interactive shells. This caused confusion for at least one user
as they lost their 'history' alias after 'su -':
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/in-current-with-downgrade-to-ksh93-lost-the-alias-history-4175703408/
bash does not consider itself to be sh when invoked as su, so ksh
probably shouldn't, either. The behaviour was also undocumented,
making it even more surprising.

A change in FreeBSD 13 now causes extremely long command names to
exit with errno set to E2BIG if the name can't fit in the list of
arguments. This was causing the regression tests for ENAMETOOLONG
to fail on FreeBSD 13 because the exit status for these errors
differ (ENAMETOOLONG uses status 127 while E2BIG uses status 126).
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/path.sh:
- To fix the failing regression tests, the command name has been
shortened to twice the length of NAME_MAX. This length is still
long enough to trigger an ENAMETOOLONG error without causing an
E2BIG failure on FreeBSD 13.

The sh_trace() function, which prints an xtrace line to standard
error, clears the SF_SHARE and SF_PUBLIC flags from the sfstderr
stream during the xtrace in order to guarantee an atomic trace
write. But it only restored those flags if the passed argv pointer
is non-NULL. Redirections are traced with a NULL argv parameter, so
the stderr state was not restored for them.
This somehow caused unpredictable behaviour, including (on some
systems) a crash in sfwrite(3) when running the heredoc.sh tests
with xtrace on.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c: sh_xtrace():
- Move the sfset() invocation that restores the SF_SHARE|SF_PUBLIC
flags to sfstderr out of the if(argv) block.
- Since we're here, don't bother wasting cycles initialising local
variable values if xtrace is not on. Move that inside the
if(sh_isoption(SH_XTRACE)) block.

In my testing, the problem does not occur when closing stdout at
the start of the -c script itself (using redirect >&- or exec >&-);
it only occurs if stdout was closed before initialising the shell.
That made me suspect that the problem had to do with an
inconsistent file descriptor state in the shell. ksh uses internal
sh_open() and sh_close() functions, among others, to maintain that
state.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c: sh_main():
- If the shell is initialised with stdin, stdout or stderr closed,
then make the shell's file descriptor state tables reflect that
fact by calling sh_close() for the closed file descriptors.
This commit also improves the BUG_PUTIOERR fix from 93e15a30. Error
checking after sfsync() is not sufficient. For instance, on
FreeBSD, the following did not produce a non-zero exit status:
ksh -c 'echo hi' >/dev/full
even though this did:
ksh -c 'echo hi >/dev/full'
Reliable error checking requires not only checking the result of
every SFIO command that writes output, but also synching the buffer
at the end of the operation and checking the result of that.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/print.c:
- Make exitval variable global to allow functions called by
b_print() to set a nonzero exit status.
- Check the result of all SFIO output commands that write output.
- b_print(): Always sfsync() at the end, except if the s (history)
flag was given. This allows getting rid of the sfsync() call that
required the workaround introduced in 846ad932.

The documentation for the supported unit suffixes for options
accepting numeric arguments was woefully outdated in 'head --man'
and 'tail --man'.
A quick look at the very short head(1) code shows that it does not
know or care about unit suffixes at all – it leaves that to libast
optget(3) which in turn calls strtoll() which is implemented in
strtoi.h where the multiplier suffixes are handled.
Note that on GNU head/tail, single-letter suffixes use power-of-2
units, e.g. k == KiB, etc. Libast used to do the same but this is
not standards compliant and AT&T changed/fixed this in 2011. From
libast/RELEASE:
10-04-11 string/strtoi.h: k (1000) and ki (1024) now differentiated
(They didn't mention the same change applies to all handled units.)
Note that the tail(1) builtin is currently not compiled in by
default. This can be changed in src/cmd/ksh93/data/builtins.c.
src/lib/libcmd/head.c, src/lib/libcmd/tail.c:
- Update the internal head/tail man pages to reflect what is
handled in strtoi.h.

The functions of the three flags controlling job control are
crucial to understand in order to maintain the code, so they should
be documented in the comments and not just in the git log.
This commit does not change any code.
Bug 1: POSIX requires numbers used as arguments for all the %d,
%u... in printf to be interpreted as in the C language, so
printf '%d\n' 010
should output 8 when the posix option is on. However, it outputs 10.
This bug was introduced as a side effect of a change introduced in
the 2012-02-07 version of ksh 93u+m, which caused the recognition
of leading-zero numbers as octal in arithmetic expressions to be
disabled outside ((...)) and $((...)). However, POSIX requires
leading-zero octal numbers to be recognised for printf, too.
The change in question introduced a sh.arith flag that is set while
we're processing a POSIX arithmetic expression, i.e., one that
recognises leading-zero octal numbers.
Bug 2: Said flag is not reset in a command substitution used within
an arithmetic expression. A command substitution should be a
completely new context, so the following should both output 10:
$ ksh -c 'integer x; x=010; echo $x'
10 # ok; it's outside ((…)) so octals are not recognised
$ ksh -c 'echo $(( $(integer x; x=010; echo $x) ))'
8 # bad; $(comsub) should create new non-((…)) context
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/print.c: extend():
- For the u, d, i, o, x, and X conversion modifiers, set the POSIX
arithmetic context flag before calling sh_strnum() to convert the
argument. This fixes bug 1.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c: sh_subshell():
- When invoking a command substitution, save and unset the POSIX
arithmetic context flag. Restore it at the end. This fixes bug 2.

When invoking a script without an interpreter (#!hashbang) path,
ksh forks, but there is no exec syscall in the child. The existing
command line is overwritten in fixargs() with the name of the new
script and associated arguments. In the generic/fallback version of
fixargs() which is used on Linux and macOS, if the new command line
is longer than the existing one, it is truncated. This works well
when calling a script with a shorter name.
However, it generates a misleading name in the common scenario
where a script is invoked from an interactive shell, which
typically has a short command line. For instance, if "/tmp/script"
is invoked, "ksh" gets replaced with "/tm" in "ps" output.
A solution is found in the fact that, on these systems, the
environment is stored immediately after the command line arguments.
This space can be made available for use by a longer command line
by moving the environment strings out of the way.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/main.c: fixargs():
- Refactor BSD setproctitle(3) version to be more self-contained.
- In the generic (Linux/macOS) version, on init (i.e. mode==0), if
the command line is smaller than 128 bytes and the environment
strings have not yet been moved (i.e. if they still immediately
follow the command line arguments in memory), then strdup the
environment strings, pointing the *environment[] members to the
new strings and adding the length of the strings to the maximum
command line buffer size.

ksh93 currently has three command substitution mechanisms:
- type 1: old-style backtick comsubs that use a pipe;
- type 3: $(modern) comsubs that use a temp file, currently with
fallback to a pipe if a temp file cannot be created;
- type 2: ${ shared-state; } comsubs; same as type 3, but shares
state with parent environment.
Type 1 is buggy. There are at least two reproducers that make it
hang. The Red Hat patch applied in 4ce486a7 fixed a hang in
backtick comsubs but reintroduced another hang that was fixed in
ksh 93v-. So far, no one has succeeded in making pipe-based comsubs
work properly.
But, modern (type 3) comsubs use temp files. How does it make any
sense to have two different command substitution mechanisms at the
execution level? The specified functionality between backtick and
modern command substitutions is exactly the same; the difference
*should* be purely syntactic.
So this commit removes the type 1 comsub code at the execution
level, treating them all like type 3 (or 2). As a result, the
related bugs vanish while the regression tests all pass.
The only side effect that I can find is that the behaviour of bug
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/124 changes for backtick
comsubs. But it's broken either way, so that's neutral.
So this commit can now be added to my growing list of ksh93 issues
fixed by simply removing code.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c:
- Remove special code for type 1 comsubs from iousepipe(),
sh_iounpipe(), sh_exec() and _sh_fork().
src/cmd/ksh93/include/defs.h,
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/subshell.c:
- Remove pipe support from sh_subtmpfile(). This also removes the
use of a pipe as a fallback for $(modern) comsubs. Instead, panic
and error out if temp file creation fails. If the shell cannot
create a temporary file, there are fatal system problems anyway
and a script should not continue.
- No longer pass comsub type to sh_subtmpfile().
All other changes:
- Update sh_subtmpfile() calls.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/subshell.sh:
- Add two regression tests based on reproducers from bug reports.

This upstreams the patch 'src__cmd__ksh93__sh__array.c.diff' from
Apple's ksh 93u+ distribution in ksh-28.tar.gz:
https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/ksh/
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/array.c: array_putval(), nv_associative():
- Zero two table pointers after closing/freeing the tables with
libast's dtclose(). No information is available from Apple as to
what specific problems this fixes, but at worst this is harmless.
I don't expect anyone else to actually use ksh93 on a museum-grade
Power Mac G5 running Mac OS X 10.3.7, but ancient platforms are
great bug and compatibility testing tools. These tweaks restore the
ability to build on that platform.
Also, to avoid a strange path search bug on that platform and
possibly other ancient ones, set SHOPT_DYNAMIC to 0 in SHOPT.sh.
Bug: [[ ! ! 1 -eq 1 ]] returns false, but should return true.
This bug was reported for bash, but ksh has it too:

Also interesting is that '!' as an argument to the simple
'test'/'[' command does work as expected (on both bash and ksh93):
'test ! ! 1 -eq 1' and '[ ! ! 1 -eq 1 ]' return 0/true.
Even the man page for [[ is identical for bash and ksh93:
| ! expression
| True if expression is false.
This suggests it's supposed to be a logical negation operator, i.e.
'!' is implicitly documented to negate another '!'. Bolsky & Korn's
1995 ksh book, p. 167, is slightly more explicit about it:
"! test-expression. Logical negation of test-expression."
I also note that multiple '!' negators in '[[' work as expected on
mksh, yash and zsh.
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/parse.c: test_primary():
- Fix bitwise logic for '!': xor the TNEGATE bit into tretyp
instead of or'ing it, which has the effect of toggling it.
