The issue with truncating files was caused by out-of-sync streams. Details and discussion: https://github.com/att/ast/issues/61 src/cmd/ksh93/sh/io.c: sh_iorestore(): - To be safe, sync all streams before restoring file descriptors. src/cmd/ksh93/tests/io.sh: - Add two regression tests for truncating files with this combination of redirections. - The second test, which invokes a -c script, is disabled for now as this triggers another corner case bug involving the SH_NOFORK optimisaton for -c scripts. That fix is for another commit. (cherry picked from commit 18fb64840365c2ff4608188e5487bd79d08f67d1)

- Fix truncating of files with the combined redirections '<>;file' and
|
|
'<#pattern'. The bug was caused by out-of-sync streams.
|
|

|
|
- Fix BUG_ISSETLOOP. Expansions like ${var+set} remained static when used
|
|
within a 'for', 'while' or 'until' loop; the expansions din't change along
|
|
with the state of the variable, so they could not be used to check whether a
|
|
variable is set within a loop if the state of that variable changed in the
|
|
course of the loop.
|
|
|
|
- Fix BUG_IFSISSET. ${IFS+s} always yielded 's', and [[ -v IFS ]] always
|
|
yielded true, even if IFS is unset. This applied to IFS only.
|
|
|
|
2020-05-19:
|
|
|
|
- Fix 'command -p'. The -p option causes the operating system's standard
|
|
utilities path (as output by 'getconf PATH') to be searched instead of $PATH.
|
|
Before this fix, this was broken on non-interactive shells as the internal
|
|
variable holding the default PATH value was not correctly initialised.
|
|
|
|
2020-05-16:
|
|
|
|
- Fix 'test -t 1', '[ -t 1 ]', '[[ -t 1 ]]' in command substitutions.
|
|
Standard output (file descriptor 1) tested as being on a terminal within a
|
|
command substitution, which makes no sense as the command substitution is
|
|
supposed to be catching standard output.
|
|
v=$(echo begincomsub
|
|
[ -t 1 ] && echo oops
|
|
echo endcomsub)
|
|
echo "$v"
|
|
This now does not output "oops".

- 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<>'.
