If an alias's value ends with a space or tab, the next word is also
checked for aliases.
This is a POSIX feature. It is useful with utilities like command and
nohup (alias them to themselves followed by a space).
NEOF needs to be a non-null pointer distinct from valid union node pointers.
It is not dereferenced.
The new NEOF is much like SIG_ERR except that it is an object pointer
instead of a function pointer.
The variable tokpushback can now be static.
Replace the RESET blocks with regular functions and a reset() function that
calls them all.
This code generation tool is unusual and does not appear to provide much
benefit. I do not think isolating the knowledge about which modules need to
be reset is worth an almost 500-line build tool and wider scope for
variables used by the reset functions.
Also, relying on reset functions is often wrong: the cleanup should be done
in exception handlers so that no stale state remains after 'command eval'
and the like.
It now passes WARNS=7 with clang on i386.
GCC 4.2.1 does not understand setjmp() properly so will always trigger
-Wuninitialized. I will not add the volatile keywords to suppress this.
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.
This ensures that mbrtowc(3) can be used directly once it has been verified
that there is no CTL* byte. Dealing with a CTLESC byte within a multibyte
character would be complicated.
The new values do occur in iso-8859-* encodings. This decreases efficiency
slightly but should not affect correctness.
Caveat: Updating across this change and rebuilding without cleaning may
yield a subtly broken sh binary. By default, make buildworld will clean and
avoid problems.
The code is inspired by NetBSD sh somewhat, but different because we
preserve the old Almquist/Bourne/Korn ability to have an unquoted part in a
quoted ${v+word}. For example, "${v-"*"}" expands to $v as a single field if
v is set, but generates filenames otherwise.
Note that this is the only place where we split text literally from the
script (the similar ${v=word} assigns to v and then expands $v). The parser
must now add additional markers to allow the expansion code to know whether
arbitrary characters in substitutions are quoted.
Example:
for i in ${$+a b c}; do echo $i; done
Exp-run done by: pav (with some other sh(1) changes)
Portability Utilities" option.
Often configure scripts generated by the autotools test if $LINENO works and
refuse to use /bin/sh if not.
Package test run by: pav
issue a syntax error immediately but save the information that it is erroneous
for later when the parameter expansion is actually done. This means eg. "false
&& ${}" will not generate an error which seems to be required by POSIX.
Include the invalid parameter expansion in the error message (sometimes
abbreviated with ... because recovering it would require a lot of code).

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)
{
...
multiple times when performing nested variable expansion, and
preserve some quoting information in order to avoid removing
apparently empty expansion result.
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..
