If SIGINT arrived at exactly the right moment (unlikely), an exception
handler in a no longer active stack frame would be called.
Because the old handler was not used in the normal path, clang thought it
was a dead value and if an exception happened it would longjmp() to garbage.
This caused builtins/fc1.0 to fail if histedit.c was compiled with clang.

Before considering to execute a command substitution in the same process,
check if any of the expansions may have a side effect; if so, execute it in
a new process just like happens if it is not a single simple command.
Although the check happens at run time, it is a static check that does not
depend on current state. It is triggered by:
- expanding $! (which may cause the job to be remembered)
- ${var=value} default value assignment
- assignment operators in arithmetic
- parameter substitutions in arithmetic except ${#param}, $$, $# and $?
- command substitutions in arithmetic
This means that $((v+1)) does not prevent optimized command substitution,
whereas $(($v+1)) does, because $v might expand to something containing
assignment operators.
Scripts should not depend on these exact details for correctness. It is also
imaginable to have the shell fork if and when a side effect is encountered
or to create a new temporary namespace for variables.
Due to the $! change, the construct $(jobs $!) no longer works. The value of
$! should be stored in a variable outside command substitution first.
Command substitutions consisting of a single simple command are executed in
the main shell process but this should be invisible apart from performance
and very few exceptions such as $(trap).
Maintain a pointer to the end of the stack string area instead of how much
space is left. This simplifies the macros in memalloc.h. The places where
the new variable must be updated are only where the memory area is created,
destroyed or resized.
This allows specifying a %job (which is equivalent to the corresponding
process group).
Additionally, it improves reliability of kill from sh in high-load
situations and ensures "kill" finds the correct utility regardless of PATH,
as required by POSIX (unless the undocumented %builtin mechanism is used).
Side effect: fatal errors (any error other than kill(2) failure) now return
exit status 2 instead of 1. (This is consistent with other sh builtins, but
not in NetBSD.)
Code size increases about 1K on i386.

The #define for warnx now behaves much like the libc function (except that
it uses sh command name and output).
Also, it now uses C99 __VA_ARGS__ so there is no need for three different
macros for 0, 1 or 2 parameters.
Constants in arithmetic starting with 0 should be octal only.
This avoids the following highly puzzling result:
$ echo $((018-017))
3
by making it an error instead.
c is assigned 0 and *loc is pointing to NULL, so c!=0 cannot be true,
and dereferencing loc would be a bad idea anyway.

The CTLESC byte to protect a special character was output before instead of
after a newline directly preceding the special character.
The special handling of newlines is because command substitutions discard
all trailing newlines.
* Prefer kill(-X) to killpg(X).
* Remove some dead code.
* No additional SIGINT is needed if int_pending() is already true.
No functional change is intended.
The herefd hack wrote out partial here documents while expanding them. It
seems unnecessary complication given that other expansions just allocate
memory. It causes bugs because the stack is also used for intermediate
results such as arithmetic expressions. Such places should disable herefd
for the duration but not all of them do, and I prefer removing the need for
disabling herefd to disabling it everywhere needed.
Here documents larger than 1024 bytes will use a bit more CPU time and
memory.
Additionally this allows a later change to expand here documents in the
current shell environment. (This is faster for small here documents but also
changes behaviour.)

The code to translate the internal representation to text did not know about
various additions to the internal representation since the original ash and
therefore wrote binary stuff to the terminal.
The code is used in the jobs command and similar output.
Note that the output is far from complete and mostly serves for recognition
purposes.
If describing the status of a pipeline, write all elements of the pipeline
and show the status of the last process (which would also end up in $?).
Only write one report per job, not one for every process that exits.
To keep some earlier behaviour, if any process started by the shell in a
foreground job terminates because of a signal, write a message about the
signal (at most one message per job, however).
Also, do not write messages about signals in the wait builtin in
non-interactive shells. Only true foreground jobs now write such messages
(for example, "Terminated").
In r208489, I added code to reap zombies when forking new processes, to
limit the amount of zombies. However, this can lead to marking a job as done
or stopped if it consists of multiple processes and the first process ends
very quickly. Fix this by only checking for zombies before forking the first
process of a job and not marking any jobs without processes as done or
stopped.
The getpgid() call will fail if the first process in the job has already
terminated, resulting in output of "-1".
The pgid of a job is always the pid of the first process in the job and
other code already relies on this.
Make sure all built-in commands are in the subsection named such, except
exp, let and wordexp which are deliberately undocumented. The text said only
built-ins that really need to be a built-in were documented there but in
fact almost all of them were already documented.
* Prefer one CHECKSTRSPACE with multiple USTPUTC to multiple STPUTC.
* Add STPUTS macro (based on function) and use it instead of loops that add
nul-terminated strings to the stack string.
No functional change is intended, but code size is about 1K less on i386.
If getcwd fails, do not treat this as an error, but print a warning and
unset PWD. This is similar to the behaviour when starting the shell in a
directory whose name cannot be determined.
Since is_alpha/is_name/is_in_name were made ASCII-only, this can no longer
happen.
Additionally, the check was wrong because it did not include the new
CTLQUOTEEND.
This was removed in 2001 but I think it is appropriate to add it back:
* I do not want to encourage people to write fragile and non-portable echo
commands by making printf much slower than echo.
* Recent versions of Autoconf use it a lot.
* Almost no software still wants to support systems that do not have
printf(1) at all.
* In many other shells printf is already a builtin.
Side effect: printf is now always the builtin version (which behaves
identically to /usr/bin/printf) and cannot be overridden via PATH (except
via the undocumented %builtin mechanism).
Code size increases about 5K on i386. Embedded folks might want to replace
/usr/bin/printf with a hard link to /usr/bin/alias.
The information in sh(1) about the echo builtin is equivalent, though less
extensive.
The echo(1) man page (bin/echo/echo.1) is different.
Unfortunately, sh's echo builtin and /bin/echo have gone out of sync and
this probably cannot be fixed any more.

In particular, remove the text about ksh-like features, which are usually
taken for granted nowadays. The original Bourne shell is fading away and for
most users our /bin/sh is one of the most minimalistic they know.
Convert the tests to the perl prove format.
Remove obsolete TEST.README (results of an old TEST.sh for some old Unices)
and TEST.csh (old tests without correct values, far less complete than
TEST.sh).

This moves the function of the noaliases variable into the checkkwd
variable. This way it is properly reset on errors and aliases can be used
normally in the commands for each case (the case labels recognize the
keyword esac but no aliases).
The new code is clearer as well.

I've noticed various terminal emulators that need to obtain a sane
default termios structure use very complex `hacks'. Even though POSIX
doesn't provide any functionality for this, extend our termios API with
cfmakesane(3), which is similar to the commonly supported cfmakeraw(3),
except that it fills the termios structure with sane defaults.
Change all code in our base system to use this function, instead of
depending on <sys/ttydefaults.h> to provide TTYDEF_*.
