error: static declaration of 'free_and_close_stuff' follows non-static declaration
Tiny whitespace cleanup while at it,
also make sure that we don't use CONFIG_ anymore.
Rob, hope this is ok w/ you..
This patch implements the 'T' command in sed. This is a GNU extension,
but one of the udev hotplug scripts uses it, so I need it in busybox
anyway.
Includes a test; 'svn add testsuite/sed/sed-branch-conditional-inverted'
after applying.
While the permissions on the temp file are correct to prevent it from being
maliciously mangled by passing strangers, (created with 600, opened O_EXCL,
etc), the permissions on the _directory_ might not be, and we re-open the
file to convert the filehandle to a FILE * (and automatically get an error
message and exit if the directory's read-only or out of space or some such).
This opens a potential race condition if somebody's using dnotify on the
directory, deletes/renames the tempfile, and drops a symlink or something
there. Somebody running sed -i as root in a world writeable directory could
do damage.
I dug up notes on an earlier discussion where we looked at the security
implications of this (unfortunately on the #uclibc channel rather than email;
I don't have a transcript, just notes-to-self) which pointed out that if the
permissions on the directory allow other people's files to be deleted/renamed
then the original file is vulnerable to sabotage anyway. However, there are
two cases that discussion apparently didn't take into account:
1) Using another user's permissions to damage files in other directories you
can't access (standard symlink attack).
2) Reading data another user couldn't otherwise access by having the new file
belong to that other user.
This patch uses fdopen to convert the filehandle into a FILE *, rather than
reopening the file.
and with multiple files SuSv3 says it should only trigger at the end of the
LAST file.
The trivial fix I tried first broke if the last file is empty. Fixing this
properly required restructuring things to create a file list (actually a
FILE * list), and then processing it all in one go. (There's probably a
smaller way to do this, merging with append_list perhaps. But let's get
the behavior correct first.)
Note that editing files in place (-i) needs the _old_ behavior, with $
triggering at the end of each file.
Here's a test of all the things this patch fixed. gnu and busybox seds produce
the same results with this patch, and different without it.
echo -n -e "1one\n1two\n1three" > ../test1
echo -n > ../test2
echo -e "3one\n3two\n3three" > ../test3
sed -n "$ p" ../test1 ../test2 ../test3
sed -n "$ p" ../test1 ../test2
sed -i -n "$ p" ../test1 ../test2 ../test3
to not put a newline at the end (which was backwards, it should have been
hardwired _to_ put a newline at the end, whether or not the input line
ended with a newline). Test case for that:
echo | sed -e '$ctest'
And then this would segfault:
echo | sed -e 'g'
Because pattern_space got freed but the dead pointer was only overwritten
in an if statement that didn't trigger if the hold space was empty. Oops.
While debugging it, I found out that the hold space is persistent between
multiple input files, so I promoted it to a global and added it to the
memory cleanup. The relevant test case (to compare with That Other Sed) is:
echo -n woo > woo
sed -e h -e g woo
echo "fish" | sed -e '/woo/h' -e "izap" -e 's/woo/thingy/' -e '/fish/g' woo -
And somebody gratuitously stuck in a c99 int8_t type for something that's just
a flag, so I grouped the darn ints.
add sed -r support.
I bumped into a couple of things that want to use extended regular expressions
in sed, and it really isn't that hard to add. Can't say I've extensively
tested it, but it's small and isn't going to break anything that doesn't use
it, so...

the _destination_ file. (Ah hah! That works _much_ better...) I
implemented the behavior, I just forgot to test this corner of it. My fault,
sorry...
No, gnu sed -i doesn't preverve ownership information. I checked.
Permissions, yes, ownership info, no.
Rob
that the _only_ change to is that gnu sed has been replaced with busybox sed.
And ncurses' install phase hangs. I trace it down, and it's trying to run
gawk. (Insert obligatory doubletake, but this is FSF code we're talking
about, so...)
It turns out gawk shells out to sed, ala "sed -f /tmp/blah file.h". The
/tmp/blah file is basically empty (it contains one character, a newline). So
basically, gawk is using sed as "cat". With gnu sed, it works like cat,
anyway.
With busybox sed, it tests if its command list is empty after parsing the
command line, and if the list is empty it takes the first file argument as a
sed command string, and if that leaves the file list empty it tries to read
the data to operate on from stdin. (Hence the hang, since nothing's coming
in on stdin...)
It _should_ be testing whether there were any instances of -f or -e, not
whether it actually got any commands. Using sed as cat may be kind of
stupid, but it's valid and gawk relies on this behavior.
Here's a patch to fix it, turning a couple of ints into chars in hopes of
saving a bit of the space this adds. Comments?

This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

sed -i "/^boo/a fred" ipsec.conf
Which works in gnu sed. (And is _supposed_ to strip all the whitespace before
"fred".)
It also broke:
sed -i -e "/^boo/a \\" -e " fred" ipsec.conf
I.E. there can legally be spaces between the a and the backslash at the end of
the line.
And strangely enough, gnu sed accepts the following syntax as well:
sed -i "/^boo/a \\ fred" ipsec.conf
Which is a way of having the significant whitespace at the start of the line,
all on one line. (But notice that the whitespace BEFORE the slash is still
stripped, as is the slash itself. And notice that the naieve placement of
"\n" there doesn't work, it puts an n at the start of the appended line. The
double slashing is for shell escapes because you could escape the quote, you
see. It's turned into a single backslash. But \n there is _not_ turned into
a newline by the shell. So there.)
This makes all three syntaxes work in my tests. I should probably start
writing better documentation at some point. I posted my current sedtests.py
file to the list, which needs a lot more tests added as well...
The sed command in busybox 1.0.0-pre8 loses leading whitespace
in 'a' command ('i' and 'c' commands are also affected). A
patch to fix this is attached at the end of this message.
The following is a transcript that reproduces the problem. The
first run uses busybox 1.0.0-pre3 as "/bin/sed" command, which
gets the expected result. Later in the test, /bin/sed symlink
is changed to point at busybox 1.0.0-pre8 and the test script is
run again, which shows the failure.

This problem was introduced in 1.0.0-pre4. The problem is that
the command argument parsing code strips leading whitespaces too
aggressively. When running the above example, the piece of code
in question gets "\n\tnat_traversal=yes" as its argument in
cmdstr variable (shown part in the following patch). What it
needs to do at this point is to strip the first newline and
nothing else, but it instead strips all the leading whitespaces
at the beginning of the string, thus losing the tab character.
The following patch fixes this.
While building glibc with busybox as part of the development environment, I
found a bug in glibc's regexec can throw sed into an endless loop. This
fixes it. Should I put an #ifdef around it or something? (Note, this patch
also contains the "this is not gnu sed 4.0" hack I posted earlier, which is
also needed to build glibc...)
Moving on to building diffutils, busybox sed needs this patch to get
past the first problem. (Passing it a multi-line command line argument
with -e works, but if you don't use -e it doesn't break up the multiple
lines...)
