TODO for ksh 93u+m See the issue tracker for up-to-date information: https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues ______ Enhancements to do: * Add -T (-o functrace) option as in bash https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/162 * History pattern search menu (SHOPT_EDPREDICT) needs work https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/233 * Use real pipes instead of sockets https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/327 ______ Known bugs in ksh 93u+m 1.0.0-beta.2 (HELP IS WANTED to fix these): * Memory leak when initialising associative array in subshell https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/94 * command substitution botches output of non-waited-for child processes https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/124 * Intermittent coprocess hang on Debian/Ubuntu and Solaris https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/132 * wrong typeset -p output after unsetting multidimensional array elements https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/148 * File descriptor is unexpectedly closed after exec in subshell https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/161 * printf %T date parsing: GNU-style "ago" date spec completely broken https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/182 * typeset -L/-R: string length breaks on multibyte characters https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/189 * Linux i386: variable expansion corruption in single-line function https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/203 * Segfault with very large extended glob patterns https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/207 * funcname.ksh crashes under standard malloc https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/212 * process substitution cannot be part of a larger argument https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/215 * Compound array regression on OpenBSD with standard malloc https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/229 * 'typeset -m'-related crash on OpenBSD compiled with standard malloc https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/231 * Freeze/crash on OpenBSD with -D_std_malloc involving typeset and command substitution https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/264 * Nested compound assignment misparsed in $(...) command substitution https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/269 * Crash on bin/shtests -px heredoc https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/306 * Multibyte characters get corrupted when KEYBD trap is set https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/307 * .sh.match index array result issues, crash after unset https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/308 * Builtins don't handle I/O errors https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/313 * block devices not seekable when open on fd 0, 1 or 2 https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/318 * bug in printf when %b and %x$ are used in same format https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/324 * namespaces don't work properly when defined within functions https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/325 * Associative arrays of various types fail to be unset https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/345 * types survive exec of hashbangless script https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/350 * Backtick command substitutions can't nest double quotes https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/352 * Line continuation breakage within $(comsub) https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/367 ______ Fix regression test failures: - There are some serious regression test failures on OpenBSD when ksh is compiled with AST vmalloc disabled, so the system standard malloc(3) is used. These probably represent real ksh93 bugs exposed by OpenBSD's security hardening mechanisms. - Several known memory leaks have their tests disabled in tests/leaks.sh and are marked TODO. These need tracking down and fixing. ______ Fix currently known bugs affecting shell scripting. These are identified by their modernish IDs. For exact details, see code/comments in: https://github.com/modernish/modernish/tree/0.16/lib/modernish/cap/ - BUG_BRACQUOT: shell quoting within bracket patterns has no effect. This bug means the '-' retains it special meaning of 'character range', and an initial ! (and, on some shells, ^) retains the meaning of negation, even in quoted strings within bracket patterns, including quoted variables. - BUG_IFSGLOBS: In glob pattern matching (as in case or parameter substitution with # and %), if IFS starts with ? or * and the "$*" parameter expansion inserts any IFS separator characters, those characters are erroneously interpreted as wildcards when quoted "$*" is used as the glob pattern.
