| Various bits of what is known about busybox shells, in no particular order.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-11-23
 | |
| hush: fixed bogus glob handling; fixed exec <"$1"; added test and echo builtins
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-06-13
 | |
| hush: exec <"$1" doesn't do parameter subst
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-05-24
 | |
| hush: environment-related memory leak plugged, with net code size
 | |
| decrease.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-05-24
 | |
| hush: '( echo ${name )' will show syntax error message, but prompt
 | |
| doesn't return (need to press <enter>). Pressing Ctrl-C, <enter>,
 | |
| '( echo ${name )' again, Ctrl-C segfaults.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-05-21
 | |
| hush: environment cannot be handled by libc routines as they are leaky
 | |
| (by API design and thus unfixable): hush will leak memory in this script,
 | |
| bash does not:
 | |
| pid=$$
 | |
| while true; do
 | |
|     unset t;
 | |
|     t=111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
 | |
|     export t
 | |
|     ps -o vsz,pid,comm | grep " $pid "
 | |
| done
 | |
| The fix is to not use setenv/putenv/unsetenv but manipulate env ourself. TODO.
 | |
| hush: meanwhile, first three command subst bugs mentioned below are fixed. :)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-05-06
 | |
| hush: more bugs spotted. Comparison with bash:
 | |
| bash-3.2# echo "TEST`date;echo;echo`BEST"
 | |
| TESTSun May  6 09:21:05 CEST 2007BEST         [we dont strip eols]
 | |
| bash-3.2# echo "TEST`echo '$(echo ZZ)'`BEST"
 | |
| TEST$(echo ZZ)BEST                            [we execute inner echo]
 | |
| bash-3.2# echo "TEST`echo "'"`BEST"
 | |
| TEST'BEST                                     [we totally mess up this one]
 | |
| bash-3.2# echo `sleep 5`
 | |
| [Ctrl-C should work, Ctrl-Z should do nothing][we totally mess up this one]
 | |
| bash-3.2# if true; then
 | |
| > [Ctrl-C]
 | |
| bash-3.2#                                     [we re-issue "> "]
 | |
| bash-3.2# if echo `sleep 5`; then
 | |
| > true; fi                                    [we execute sleep before "> "]
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-05-04
 | |
| hush: made ctrl-Z/C work correctly for "while true; do true; done"
 | |
| (namely, it backgrounds/interrupts entire "while")
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-05-03
 | |
| hush: new bug spotted: Ctrl-C on "while true; do true; done" doesn't
 | |
| work right:
 | |
| # while true; do true; done
 | |
| [1] 0 true <-- pressing Ctrl-C several times...
 | |
| [2] 0 true
 | |
| [3] 0 true
 | |
| Segmentation fault
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-05-03
 | |
| hush: update on "sleep 1 | exit 3; echo $?" bug.
 | |
| parse_stream_outer() repeatedly calls parse_stream().
 | |
| parse_stream() is now fixed to stop on ';' in this example,
 | |
| fixing it (parse_stream_outer() will call parse_stream() 1st time,
 | |
| execute the parse tree, call parse_stream() 2nd time and execute the tree).
 | |
| But it's not the end of story.
 | |
| In more complex situations we _must_ parse way farther before executing.
 | |
| Example #2: "{ sleep 1 | exit 3; echo $?; ...few_lines... } >file".
 | |
| Because of redirection, we cannot execute 1st pipe before we parse it all.
 | |
| We probably need to learn to store $var expressions in parse tree.
 | |
| Debug printing of parse tree would be nice too.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-04-28
 | |
| hush: Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Z for single NOFORK commands are working.
 | |
| Memory and other resource leaks (opendir) are not addressed
 | |
| (testcase is "rm -i" interrupted by ctrl-c).
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-04-21
 | |
| hush: "sleep 5 | sleep 6" + Ctrl-Z + fg seems to work.
 | |
| "rm -i" + Ctrl-C, "sleep 5" + Ctrl-Z still doesn't work
 | |
| for SH_STANDALONE case :(
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-04-21
 | |
| hush: fixed non-backgrounding of "sleep 1 &" and totally broken
 | |
| "sleep 1 | sleep 2 &". Noticed a bug where successive jobs
 | |
| get numbers 1,2,3 even when job #1 has exited before job# 2 is started.
 | |
| (bash reuses #1 in this case)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-04-21
 | |
| hush: "sleep 1 | exit 3; echo $?" prints 0 because $? is substituted
 | |
| _before_ pipe gets executed!! run_list_real() already has "pipe;echo"
 | |
| parsed and handed to it for execution, so it sees "pipe"; "echo 0".
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-04-21
 | |
| hush: removed setsid() and made job control sort-of-sometimes-work.
 | |
| Ctrl-C in "rm -i" works now except for SH_STANDALONE case.
 | |
| "sleep 1 | exit 3" + "echo $?" works, "sleep 1 | exit 3; echo $?"
 | |
| shows exitcode 0 (should be 3). "sleep 1 | sleep 2 &" fails horribly.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2007-04-14
 | |
| lash, hush: both do setsid() and as a result don't have ctty!
 | |
| Ctrl-C doesn't work for any child (try rm -i), etc...
 | |
| lash: bare ">file" doesn't create a file (hush works)
 |
