This Almquist extension was disabled long ago.
In pathname generation, components starting with '!!' were treated as
containing wildcards, causing unnecessary readdir (which could fail, causing
pathname generation to fail while it should not).
In our implementation and most others, a break or continue in a dot script
can break or continue a loop outside the dot script. This should cause all
further commands in the dot script to be skipped. However, cmdloop() did not
know about this and continued to parse and execute commands from the dot
script.
As described in the man page, a return in a dot script in a function returns
from the function, not only from the dot script. There was a similar issue
as with break and continue. In various other shells, the return appears to
return from the dot script, but POSIX seems not very clear about this.
The buffer for generated pathnames could be too small in some cases. It
happened to be always at least PATH_MAX long, so there was never an overflow
if the resulting pathnames would be usable.
This bug may be abused if a script subjects input from an untrusted source
to pathname generation, which a bad idea anyhow. Most shell scripts do not
work on untrusted data. secteam@ says no advisory is necessary.

This makes a difference if there is a command substitution.
To make this work, evalstring() has been changed to set exitstatus to 0 if
no command was executed (the string contained only whitespace).
Example:
eval $(false); echo $?
should print 0.

This simply sets a flag in libedit. It has a shortcoming in that it does not
apply to multi-line commands.
Note that a configuration option for this is not going to happen, but always
having this seems better than not having it. NetBSD has done the same.

So a command like
kill _HUP 1
now fails without sending SIGTERM to init.
The behaviour when kill(2) fails remains unchanged: processing continues.
This matches other implementations and POSIX and is useful for killing
multiple processes at once when some of them may already be gone.

If an ; or & token was followed by an EOF token, pending here-documents were
left uninitialized. Execution would crash, either in the main shell process
for literal here-documents or in a child process for expanded
here-documents. In the latter case the problem is hard to detect apart from
the core dumps and log messages.
Side effect: slightly different retries on inputs where EOF is not
persistent.
Note that tools/regression/bin/sh/parser/heredoc6.0 still causes a similar
crash in a child process. The text passed to eval is malformed and should be
rejected.
simplecmd() only handles simple commands and function definitions, neither
of which involves the ! keyword. The initial token on entry to simplecmd()
is one of the following: TSEMI, TAND, TOR, TNL, TEOF, TWORD, TRP.
Unless $! has been referenced for a particular job or $! still contains that
job's pid, forget about it after it has terminated. If $! has been
referenced, remember the job until the wait builtin has reported its
completion (either with the pid as parameter or without parameters).
In interactive mode, jobs are forgotten after termination has been reported,
which happens before primary prompts and through the jobs builtin. Even
then, though, remember a job if $! has been referenced.
This is similar to what is suggested by POSIX and should fix most memory
leaks (which also tend to cause sh to use more CPU time) with long running
scripts that start background jobs.
Caveats:
* Repeatedly referencing $! without ever doing 'wait', like
while :; do foo & echo started foo: $!; sleep 60; done
will still use a lot of memory and CPU time in the long run.
* The jobs and jobid builtins do not cause a job to be remembered for longer
like expanding $! does.

The LINENO code uses snprintf() and relied on "myhistedit.h" to pull in the

Compiling with -DNO_HISTORY disables all editing and history support and

This uses the new libedit completion function with quoting support.
Unlike NetBSD, there is no 'set +o tabcomplete' option to disable
completion. I do not see any reason for such a special treatment, as
completion is rather useful and it is possible to do
bind ^I ed-insert
to disable completion and insert a tab character instead.

In either case, this depends on it that a process that terminates due to
SIGINT exits on it (so not with status 1, or worse, 0).
Example:

Example (in interactive mode):
cat <<EOF && )
The next command typed caused sh to segfault, because the state for the here
document was not reset.
Like parser_temp, this uses the fact that the parser is not re-entered.
If a command substitution contains a newline token, this no longer starts
here documents of outer commands. This way, we follow POSIX's idea of the
command substitution being a separate script more closely. It also matches
other shells better and is consistent with newline characters in quotes not
starting here documents.
The extension tested in parser/heredoc3.0 ($(cat <<EOF)\ntext\nEOF\n)
continues to be supported.
In particular, this change allows things like
cat <<EOF && echo `pwd`
(a `` command substitution after a here document)
which formerly silently used an empty file as the here document, because the
EOF of the inner command "pwd" also forced an empty here document.
Although "--" historically has not been required to be recognized for
certain special builtins that do not take options in POSIX, some other
implementations recognize options for them, requiring scripts to use "--" or
avoid operands starting with "-".
Operands starting with "-" can be avoided with eval by prepending a space,
and cannot occur with break, continue, exit, return and shift as they only
take numbers, nor with times as it does not take operands. With . and exec,
avoiding "-" is not so easy as it may require reimplementing the PATH
search; therefore the current proposal for POSIX is to require recognition
of "--" for them.
We continue to accept other strings starting with "-" as operands to . and
exec, and also "--" if it is alone to . (which would otherwise be invalid
anyway).
* Move the "environment variables" that do not need exporting to be
effective or that are set by the shell without exporting to a new section
"Special Variables".
* Add special variables LINENO and PPID.
* Add environment variables LANG, LC_* and PWD; also describe ENV under
environment variables.
This prevents accumulating huge amounts of zombies if a script executes
many background commands but no external commands or subshells.
Note that zombies will not be reaped during long calculations (within
the shell process) or read builtins, but those actions do not create
more zombies.
The terminated background commands will also still be remembered by the
shell.

Because this is the first code I'm importing from dash to expand.c, add the
Herbert Xu copyright notice which is in dash's expand.c.
When pathname expanding *\/, the CTLESC representing the quoted state was
erroneously taken as part of the * pathname component. This CTLESC was then
seen by the pattern matching code as escaping the '\0' terminating the
string.
The code is slightly different because dash converts the CTLESC characters
to backslashes and removes all the other CTL* characters to allow
substituting glob(3).
The effect of the bug was also slightly different from dash (where nothing
matched at all). Because a CTLESC can escape a '\0' in some way, whether
files were included despite the bug depended on memory that should not be
read. In particular, on many machines /*\/ expanded to a strict subset of
what /*/ expanded to.
Example:
echo /*"/null"
This should print /dev/null, not /*/null.

This allows doing things like LC_ALL=C some_builtin to run a builtin under a
different locale, just like is possible with external programs. The
immediate reason is that this allows making printf(1) a builtin without
breaking things like LC_NUMERIC=C printf '%f\n' 1.2
This change also affects special builtins, as even though the assignment is
persistent, the export is only to the builtin (unless the variable was
already exported).
Note: for this to work for builtins that also exist as external programs
such as /bin/test, the setlocale() call must be under #ifndef SHELL. The
shell will do the setlocale() calls which may not agree with the environment
variables.

In the 'ln source... directory' synopsis, the basename of each source
determines the name of the created link. Determine this using basename(3)
instead of strrchr(..., '/') which is incorrect if the pathname ends in a
slash.
The patch is somewhat changed to allow for basename(3) implementations that
change the passed pathname, and to fix the -w option's checking also.
The code to compare directory entries only applies to hard links, which
cannot be created to directories using ln.
Example:
