TODO for AT&T ksh93, 93u+m bugfix branch
See the issue tracker:
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues
______
Fix regression test failures:
- There are many regression test failures on NetBSD.
- 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.
______
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_CSUBSTDO: If standard output (file descriptor 1) is closed before
entering a $(command substitution), and any other file descriptors are
redirected within the command substitution, commands such as 'echo' will
not work within the command substitution, acting as if standard output is
still closed.
- BUG_IFSGLOBS: In glob pattern matching (as in case or parameter
substitution with # and %), if IFS starts with ? or * and the "$*"
parameter expansion inserts any IFS separator characters, those characters
are erroneously interpreted as wildcards when quoted "$*" is used as the
glob pattern.
