The pipefail option allows checking the exit status of all commands in a
pipeline more easily, at a limited cost of complexity in sh itself. It works
similarly to the option in bash, ksh93 and mksh.
Like ksh93 and unlike bash and mksh, the state of the option is saved when a
pipeline is started. Therefore, even in the case of commands like
A | B &
a later change of the option does not change the exit status, the same way
(A | B) &
works.
Since SIGPIPE is not handled specially, more work in the script is required
for a proper exit status for pipelines containing commands such as head that
may terminate successfully without reading all input. This can be something
like
(
cmd1
r=$?
if [ "$r" -gt 128 ] && [ "$(kill -l "$r")" = PIPE ]; then
exit 0
else
exit "$r"
fi
) | head

SVN r342880 was designed to fix $((-9223372036854775808)) and things like
$((0x8000000000000000)) but also broke error detection for values of
variables without dollar sign ($((x))).
For compatibility, overflow in plain literals continues to be ignored and
the value is clamped to the boundary (except 9223372036854775808 which is
changed to -9223372036854775808).

there's no need to even mention it in shell rc files. Not that it's wrong;
just pointless and somewhat misleading.

The libedit "fout" output must be sent to fd 2 since it contains prompts
that POSIX says must be sent to fd 2. However, the libedit "ferr" output
receives error messages such as from "bind" that make no sense to send to fd
1.

If word in ${param?word} is missing, the shell shall write a default error
message. So expanding ${param?} when param is not set should write an error
message like
sh: param: parameter not set
This was broken by r316417.

The difference between EXERROR and EXEXEC was that EXEXEC passed along
exitstatus and EXERROR set exitstatus to 2 in the handling code.
By changing the places that raised EXERROR to set exitstatus to 2, the
handling of EXERROR and EXEXEC becomes the same.
The intention is to lower the value of the pointer, which according to ubsan
cannot be done by adding an unsigned quantity.

This also inverts the shell change so that it only happens if MK_TCSH is on.

Using padvance() requires undoing its append of '/' and prevents adjusting
its '%' logic to allow most directories with '%' in PATH.

These are not used to link the final tool anymore. At some point in the past
the suffix rules changed to not link these in. The original reason for this in
r19176 is unclear but seems to be related to mkdep. The .depend handling is
still broken here as it is for all build tool patterns like this.

POSIX requires accepting unquoted newlines in word in parameter expansions
like ${param+word}, ${param#word}, although the Bourne shell did not support
it, it is not commonly used and might make it harder to find a missing
closing brace.
It was also strange that something like
foo="${bar#
}"
was rejected.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Non-tests/... changes:
- Add HAS_TESTS= to Makefiles with libraries and programs to enable iteration
and propagate the appropriate environment down to *.test.mk.
tests/... changes:
- Add appropriate support Makefile.inc's to set HAS_TESTS in a minimal manner,
since tests/... is a special subdirectory tree compared to the others.

Apart from the fact that subtle syntactic changes make a poor compile-time
option, the NOHACK case has been obviously broken since it was added,
because it uses q uninitialized if (*p != '\0').
No functional change is intended.
If CDPATH is used non-trivially or the operand is "-", cd writes the
directory actually switched to. (We currently do this only in interactive
shells, but POSIX requires this in non-interactive shells as well.)
As mentioned in Austin group bug #1045, cd shall not return an error while
leaving the current directory changed. Therefore, ignore any write error.
