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. (cherry picked from commit 14ced94ed83991687c645a09bd2e45a5c2ffe8dc)

- 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"

|
- Fix BUG_PUTIOERR: Output builtins now correctly detect and report
|
|
input/output errors. 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.
|
|
|
|
- Add a convenient bin/run_ksh_tests script to the source tree that
|
|
sets up the necessary environment and runs the ksh regression tests.

- Fix BUG_CASELIT: an undocumented 'case' pattern matching misbehaviour that
|
|
goes back to the original Bourne shell, but wasn't discovered until 2018.
|
|
If a pattern doesn't match as a pattern, it was tried again as a literal
|
|
string. This broke common validation use cases, e.g.:
|
|
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

- Fix BUG_REDIRIO: 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<>'.
