Formerly, in this case an error was returned but the pid was also returned
to the application, requiring the application to use unspecified behaviour
(the returned pid in error situations) to avoid zombies.
Now, reap the zombie and do not return the pid.

Rather than using err() if either of two failure conditions
fires (which can produce spurious error messages), just use
errx() if the one condition that really matters fires.
In practice, this single test is enough to detect the failure
mode we're looking for (kqueue being inherited across fork).

Modify the existing unit test (from libkqueue) which already exercises process events via
fork() and kill(). Now, the child process simply checks that the 'kqfd' descriptor is invalid.
Some minor modifications were required to make err() work correctly. It seems that this test
was imported using the output of a configure script, but config.h was not included in key
places, nor was its syntax correct (need '#define HAVE_FOO 1' rather than '#define HAVE_FOO').
Finally, change main() to run the "proc" suite by default, but widened the '#if TODO' in
proc.c to include the non-functioning test event_trigger().

Replacing ;; with the new control operator ;& will cause the next list to be
executed as well without checking its pattern, continuing until a list ends
with ;; or until the end of the case statement. This is like omitting
"break" in a C "switch" statement.
The sequence ;& was formerly invalid.
This feature is proposed for the next POSIX issue in Austin Group issue
#449.
The eval special builtin now runs the code with EV_EXIT if it was run
with EV_EXIT itself.
In particular, this eliminates one fork when a command substitution contains
an eval command that ends with an external program or a subshell.
This is similar to what r220978 did for functions.
The function name expandstr() and the general idea of doing this kind of
expansion by treating the text as a here document without end marker is from
dash.
All variants of parameter expansion and arithmetic expansion also work (the
latter is not required by POSIX but it does not take extra code and many
other shells also allow it).
Command substitution is prevented because I think it causes too much code to
be re-entered (for example creating an unbounded recursion of trace lines).
Unfortunately, our LINENO is somewhat crude, otherwise PS4='$LINENO+ ' would
be quite useful.
If the here-document is attached to a compound command or subshell, $?
already works properly. This is both a workaround for bin/41410 and a
requirement for a true fix for bin/41410.

checks for collision/non-collision properties in binding them. This

It would be nice if this test also exercised packet diversion and

can be run many times in a row without waiting on TIMEWAIT to release a
hard-coded port number.

Examples:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 printf '%d\n' $(printf \'\\303\\244)
LC_ALL=en_US.ISO8859-1 printf '%d\n' $(printf \'\\344)
Both of these should print 228.
Like some other shells, incomplete or invalid multibyte characters yield the
value of the first byte without a warning.
Note that there is no general way to go back from the character code to the
character.
CDPATH should be ignored not only for pathnames starting with '/' but also
for pathnames whose first component is '.' or '..'.
The man page already describes this behaviour.
If IFS is null, unquoted $@/$* should still expand to separate words.
This differs from quoted $@ (which does not depend on IFS) in that pathname
generation is performed and empty words are removed.
This reflects failure to determine the pathname of the new directory in the
exit status (1). Normally, cd returns successfully if it did chdir() and the
call was successful.
In POSIX, -e only has meaning with -P; because our -L is not entirely
compliant and may fall back to -P mode, -e has some effect with -L as well.
This is sometimes used with eval or old-style command substitution, and most
shells other than ash derivatives allow it.
It can also be used with scripts that violate POSIX's requirement on the
application that they end in a newline (scripts must be text files except
that line length is unlimited).
Example:
v=`cat <<EOF
foo
EOF`
echo $v
This commit does not add support for the similar construct with new-style
command substitution, like
v=$(cat <<EOF
foo
EOF)
This continues to require a newline after the terminator.
Because we have no iconv in base, support for other charsets is not
possible.
Note that \u/\U are processed using the locale that was active when the
shell started. This is necessary to avoid behaviour that depends on the
parse/execute split (for example when placing braces around an entire
script). Therefore, UTF-8 encoding is implemented manually.
?, [...] patterns match codepoints instead of bytes. They do not match
invalid sequences. [...] patterns must not contain invalid sequences
otherwise they will not match anything. This is so that ${var#?} removes the
first codepoint, not the first byte, without putting UTF-8 knowledge into
the ${var#pattern} code. However, * continues to match any string and an
invalid sequence matches an identical invalid sequence. (This differs from
fnmatch(3).)
A string between $' and ' may contain backslash escape sequences similar to
the ones in a C string constant (except that a single-quote must be escaped
and a double-quote need not be). Details are in the sh(1) man page.
This construct is useful to include unprintable characters, tabs and
newlines in strings; while this can be done with a command substitution
containing a printf command, that needs ugly workarounds if the result is to
end with a newline as command substitution removes all trailing newlines.
The construct may also be useful in future to describe unprintable
characters without needing to write those characters themselves in 'set -x',
'export -p' and the like.
The implementation attempts to comply to the proposal for the next issue of
the POSIX specification. Because this construct is not in POSIX.1-2008,
using it in scripts intended to be portable is unwise.
Matching the minimal locale support in the rest of sh, the \u and \U
sequences are currently not useful.

For backgrounded pipelines and subshells, the previous value of $? was being
preserved, which is incorrect.
For backgrounded simple commands containing a command substitution, the
status of the last command substitution was returned instead of 0.
If fork() fails, this is an error.
If EV_EXIT causes an exit, use the exception mechanism to unwind
redirections and local variables. This way, if the final command is a
redirected command, an EXIT trap now executes without the redirections.
Because of these changes, EV_EXIT can now be inherited by the body of a
function, so do so. This means that a function no longer prevents a fork
before an exec being skipped, such as in
f() { head -1 /etc/passwd; }; echo $(f)
Wrapping a single builtin in a function may still cause an otherwise
unnecessary fork with command substitution, however.
An exit command or -e failure still invokes the EXIT trap with the
original redirections and local variables in place.
Note: this depends on SHELLPROC being gone. A SHELLPROC depended on
keeping the redirections and local variables and only cleaning up the
state to restore them.
- Test newslog with clasic naming of rotates files to actually test
the correct number of log files as newsyslog now does the correct
thing post r220926.
- Add some more newsyslog tests which tests keeping 0, 1, and 2
logfiles.
This is only a problem if IFS contains digits, which is unusual but valid.
Because of an incorrect fix for PR bin/12137, "${#parameter}" was treated
as ${#parameter}. The underlying problem was that "${#parameter}"
erroneously added CTLESC bytes before determining the length. This
was properly fixed for PR bin/56147 but the incorrect fix was not backed
out.
