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:
sleep 5; echo continued
This does not print "continued" any more if sleep is aborted via ctrl+c.

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:
ln -s /etc/defaults/ /tmp
This should create a symlink named defaults.

Two pathnames refer to the same directory entry iff the directories match
and the final components' names match.
Example: (assuming file1 is an existing file)
ln -f file1 file1
This now fails while leaving file1 intact. It used to delete file1 and then
complain it cannot be linked because it is gone.
With -i, this error is detected before the question is asked.

Unset PWD if it is incorrect and no value for it can be determined.
This preserves the logical current directory across shell invocations.
Example (assuming /home is a symlink):

$ pwd
/home/foo
$ sh
$ pwd
/home/foo
Formerly the second pwd would show the physical path (symlinks resolved).

These do pretty much nothing (except that parentheses are ignored), but
people seem to use them and allowing them does not hurt much.
Single-quotes seem not to be used and cause silently different behaviour
with ksh93 character constants.
This makes sh a bit more friendly in single user mode, make buildenv, chroot
and the like, and matches other shells.
The -o emacs can be overridden on the command line or in the ENV file.

This applies to word in ${v-word}, ${v+word}, ${v=word}, ${v?word} (which
inherits quoting from the outside) and in ${v%word}, ${v%%word}, ${v#word},
${v##word} (which does not inherit any quoting).
In all cases tilde expansion is only attempted at the start of word, even if
word contains spaces. This agrees with POSIX and other shells.
This is the last part of the patch tested in the exp-run.

* remove the backslash from \} inside double quotes inside +-=?

* maintain separate double-quote state for ${v#...} and ${v%...};
single and double quotes are special inside, even in a double-quoted

* keep track of correct order of substitutions and arithmetic
This is different from dash's approach, which does not track individual
double quotes in the parser, trying to fix this up during expansion.
This treats single quotes inside "${v#...}" incorrectly, however.
This is similar to NetBSD's approach (as submitted in PR bin/57554), but
recognizes the difference between +-=? and #% substitutions hinted at in
POSIX and is more refined for arithmetic expansion and here documents.

Redirection errors on subshells already did not abort the shell because
the redirection is executed in the subshell.
Other shells seem to agree that these redirection errors should not abort
the shell.
Also ensure that the redirections will be cleaned up properly in cases like
command eval '{ shift x; } 2>/dev/null'
Example:
{ echo bad; } </var/empty/x; echo good
Although simple commands without a command word (only assignments and/or
redirections) are much like special builtins, POSIX and most shells seem to
agree that redirection errors should not abort the shell in this case. Of
course, the assignments persist and assignment errors are fatal.
To get the old behaviour portably, use the ':' special builtin.
To get the new behaviour portably, given that there are no assignments, use
the 'true' regular builtin.
Make parsebackq a function instead of an emulated nested function.
