Not because I admit they are technically wrong and not because of bug
reports (I receive nothing). But because I surprisingly meets so
strong opposition and resistance so lost any desire to continue that.
Anyone who interested in POSIX can dig out what changes and how
through cvs diffs.
1) Under POSIX unsetenv("foo=bar") is explicit error and not equal
to unsetenv("foo")
2) Prepare for upcomig POSIXed putenv() rewrite: make putenv() calls
portable and conforming to standard.

no slash we already did that).
Additionally, suppress the error message for command -v for files with a slash.

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).

Utilities option. Its value is printed at the beginning of the line if tracing
(-x) is active. PS4 defaults to the string "+ " which is compatible with the
old behaviour to always print "+ ".
We still need to expand variables in PS1, PS2 and PS4.

- A redirection error is only fatal (meaning the execution of a shell script is
terminated) for special built-ins. Previously it was fatal for all shell
builtins, causing problems like the one reported in PR 88845.
- Variable assignments remain in effect for special built-ins.
- Option or operand errors are only fatal for special built-ins.
This change also makes errors from 'fc' non-fatal (I could not find any reasons
for this behaviour).
Somewhat independently from the above down-grade the error handling in the
shift built-in if the operand is bigger than $# from an error() call (which is
now fatal) to a return 1. I'm not sure if this should be considered a POSIX
"operand error", however this change is needed for now as we trigger that error
while building libncurses. Comparing with other shells, zsh does the same as
our sh before this change (write a diagnostic, return 1), bash behaves as our
sh after this commit (no diagnostic, return 1) and ksh93 and NetBSD's sh treat
it as a fatal error.
is just ". file" according to POSIX, however many other shells allow
arguments to be passed after the file. For compatibility (we even use that
feature in buildworld) additional arguments are not considered to be an
error, even though this shell does not do anything with the arguments at all.

is done because there are cases where special builtins must be treated
differently from other builtins.

automatically it is possible wait4(2) returns -1 and sets
errno = ECHILD if there were forked children. A user can
set such signal handler e.g. via ``trap "" 20'', see a PR
for the test case. Deal with this case and mark a job as

This makes a difference for the trap builtin, where after "trap '' 0" we
printed "trap -- quit". This is wrong, because an empty action means to reset
the action to the default. A side effect of this commit is that empty
variables are now printed as "variable=''" instead of just "variable=".

implementation directly calls getrusage() to get the times because this is more
convenient.
set +o can be used to reload previous settings, for this to work disabled

time won't be turned off.
To avoid an excessively long output line I formatted the output to print only

ckrealloc and ckfree (added), respectively. sh jumps out of the signal handler
using longjmp which is obviously a bad idea during malloc calls.
Note: I think there is still a small race here because volatile sig_atomic_t
only guarantees atomic reads and writes while we're doing increments and
decrements.
Protect a setmode call with INT{ON,OFF} as it calls malloc internally.
