This fixes (or at least works around) a bug that caused special
variables such as PATH, LANG, LC_ALL, LINENO, etc. to lose their
effect after being unset in a subshell.
For example:
(unset PATH; PATH=/dev/null; ls); : wrongly ran 'ls'
(unset LC_ALL; LC_ALL=badlocale); : failed to print a diagnostic
This is yet another problem with non-forking/virtual subshells. If
you forced the subshell to fork (one way of doing this is using the
'ulimit' builtin, e.g. ulimit -t unlimited) before unsetting the
special variable, the problem vanished.
I've tried to localise the problem. I suspect the sh_assignok()
function, which is called from unall(), is to blame. This function
is supposed to make a copy of a variable node in the virtual
subshell's variable tree. Apparently, it fails to copy the
associated permanent discipline function settings (stored in the
np->nvfun->disc pointer) that gave these variables their special
effect, and which survive unset. However, my attempts to fix that
have been unsuccessful. If anyone can figure out a fix, please send
a patch/pull request!
Data point: This bug existed in 93u 2011-02-08, but did not yet
exist in M-1993-12-28-s+. So it is a regression.
Meanwhile, pending a proper fix, this commit adds a safe
workaround: it forces a non-forked subshell to fork before
unsetting such a special variable.
src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/typeset.c: unall():
- If we're in a non-forked, non-${ ...; } subshell, then before
unsetting any variable, check for variables with internal
trap/discipline functions, and call sh_subfork() if any are
found. To avoid crashing, this must be done before calling
sh_pushcontext(), so we need to loop through the args separately.
src/cmd/ksh93/tests/variables.sh:
- Remove the 'ulimit' that forced the fork; we do this in C now.
