POSIX requires this to prevent entering function definitions in history but
this implementation does nothing except retain the option's value. In ksh88,
function definitions were usually entered in the history file, even when
they came from ~/.profile and the $ENV file, to allow displaying their
definitions.
This is also the first option that does not have a letter.
POSIX does not permit to continuing a getopts loop with different
arguments. For parsing the positional parameters, we handle this case by
resetting the getopts state when the positional parameters are changed in
any way (and the getopts state is local to a function). However, in the
syntax getopts <optstring> <var> <arg...>, changes could lead to invalid
memory access.
In the syntax getopts <optstring> <var> <arg...>, store a copy of the
arguments and continue to use them until getopts is reset.
POSIX requires a -h option to sh and set, to locate and remember utilities
invoked by functions as they are defined. Given that this
locate-and-remember process is optional elsewhere, it seems safe enough to
make this option do nothing.
POSIX does not specify a long name for this option. Follow ksh in calling it
"trackall".
Have mkbuiltins write the prototypes for the *cmd functions to builtins.h
instead of builtins.c and include builtins.h in more .c files instead of
duplicating prototypes for *cmd functions in other headers.
o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than
they already are.
o Change
int
foo() {
...
to
int
foo(void)
{
...
spaces reserved by the header files it includes.
mkinit.c still produces C code with redundant declarations, although
they are more harmless since they automatically derived from the right
places.
make /etc/rc interruptible in cases when programs hang with blocked
signals) isn't standard enough.
It is now switched off by default and a new switch -T enables it.
You should update /etc/rc to the version I'm about to commit in a few
minutes to keep it interruptible.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
merge of parallel duplicate work by Steve Price and myself. :-]
There are some changes to the build that are my fault... mkinit.c was
trying (poorly) to duplicate some of the work that make(1) is designed to
do. The Makefile hackery is my fault too, the depend list was incomplete
because of some explicit OBJS+= entries, so mkdep wasn't picking up their
source file #includes.
This closes a pile of /bin/sh PR's, but not all of them..
