The C++ code implicitly relied on wrapping behavior.
There are probably more cases like this. Maybe we should disable
"overflow-checks" in release mode.
This would crash from the highlighter for something like
`PATH={$PATH[echo " "`
The underlying cause is that we use "char_at" which panics on
overread.
So instead this implements try_char_at and then just returns None.
This would misname `\e\x7F` as "backspace":
bind -k backspace 'do something'
bind \e\x7F 'do something'
because it would check if there was any key *in there*.
This was probably meant for continuous mode, but it simply doesn't
work right. It's preferable to not give a key when one would work over
giving one when it's not correct.
This was an issue with "--no-execute", which has no variables and
therefore no $HOME:
```fish
fish --no-execute /path/to/file
```
would say the error is in `~/path/to/file`.
Instead, since this is just for a message, we simply return the
filename without doing the replacement.
Fixes#10171
These printed "Unknown error while evaluating command substitution".
Now they print something like
```
fish: for: status: cannot overwrite read-only variable
for status in foo; end
^~~~~^
in command substitution
fish: Invalid arguments
echo (for status in foo; end)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
```
for `echo (for status in foo; end)`
This is, of course, still not *great*. Mostly the `fish: Invalid
arguments` is basically entirely redundant.
An alternative is to simply skip the error message, but that requires some
more scaffolding (describe_with_prefix adds some error messages on its
own, so we can't simply say "don't add the prefix if we don't have a
message")
(cherry picked from commit 1b5eec2af6)
This fixes the following deadlock. The C++ functions path_get_config and
path_get_data lazily determine paths and then cache those in a C++ static
variable. The path determination requires inspecting the environment stack.
If these functions are first called while the environment stack is locked
(in this case, when fetching the $history variable) we can get a deadlock.
The fix is to call them eagerly during env_init. This can be removed once
the corresponding C++ functions are removed.
This issue caused fish_config to fail to report colors and themes.
Add a test.
This makes it so
```fish
if -e foo
# do something
end
```
complains about `-e` not being a command instead of `end` being used
outside of an if-block.
That means both that `-e` could now be used as a command name (it
already can outside of `if`!) *and* that we get a better error!
The only way to get `if` to be a decorated statement now is to use `if
-h` or `if --help` specifically (with a literal option).
The same goes for switch, while and begin.
It would be possible, alternatively, to disallow `if -e` and point
towards using `test` instead, but the "unknown command" message should
already point towards using `test` more than pointing at the
"end" (that might be quite far away).
This was already supposed to handle `--foo=bar<TAB>` cases, except it
printed the `--foo=` again, causing fish to take that as part of the
token.
See #9538 for a similar thing with __fish_complete_directories.
Fixes#10011
We don't change anything about compilation-setup, we just immediately jump to
Rust, making the eventual final swap to a Rust entrypoint very easy.
There are some string-usage and format-string differences that are generally
quite messy.
This used to print all codepoints outside of the ASCII range (i.e.
above 0x80) in \uXXXX or \UYYYYYYYY notation.
That's quite awkward, considering that this is about keys that are
being pressed, and many keyboards have actual symbols for these on
them - I have an "ö" key, so I would like to use `bind ö` and not
`bind \u00F6`. So we go by iswgraph.
On a slightly different note, `\e` was written as `\c[ (or \e)`. I do
not believe anyone really uses `\c[` (the `[` would need to
be escaped!), and it's confusing and unnecessary to even mention that.
This allows e.g. `foo | command time`, while still rejecting `foo | time`.
(this should really be done in the ast itself, but tbh most of
parse_util kinda should)
Fixes#9985
This was "function", needs to be "function*s*".
It was only an issue in the option parsing because we set cmd there
again instead of passing it. Maybe these should just be file-level constants?
This used expect_re with a regex ending in `.*`, followed by an
`expect_prompt`.
This meant that, depending on the timing, the regex could swallow the
prompt marker, which caused extremely confusing output like
>Testing file pexpects/generic.py:Failed to match pattern: prompt 14
> ...
> OUTPUT +1.33 ms (Line 70): \rprompt 13>functions\r\nN_, abbr,
> alias, bg, cd, [SNIP], up-or-search, vared, wait\r\n⏎
> \r⏎ \r\rprompt 14>
Yeah - it shows that "prompt 14" was in the output and it can't find
"prompt 14".
I could reproduce the failure locally when running the tests
repeatedly. I got one after 17 attempts and so far haven't been able
to reproduce it with this change applied.
Turns out doing `==` on Enums with values will do a deep comparison,
including the values.
So EventDescription::Signal(SIGTERM) is !=
EventDescription::Signal(SIGWINCH).
That's not what we want here, so this does a bit of a roundabout thing.
Padding with an unprintable character is now disallowed, like it was for other
zero-length characters.
`string shorten` now ignores escape sequences and non-printable characters
when calculating the visible width of the ellipsis used (except for `\b`,
which is treated as a width of -1).
Previously `fish_wcswidth` returned a length of -1 when the ellipsis-str
contained any non-printable character, causing the command to poentially
print a larger width than expected.
This also fixes an integer overflows in `string shorten`'s
`max` and `max2`, when the cumulative sum of character widths turned negative
(e.g. with any non-printable characters, or `\b` after the changes above).
The overflow potentially caused strings containing non-printable characters
to be truncated.
This adds test that verify the fixed behaviour.
- Add test to verify piped string replace exit code
Ensure fields parsing error messages are the same.
Note: C++ relied upon the value of the parsed value even when `errno` was set,
that is defined behaviour we should not rely on, and cannot easilt be replicated from Rust.
Therefore the Rust version will change the following error behaviour from:
```shell
> string split --fields=a "" abc
string split: Invalid fields value 'a'
> string split --fields=1a "" abc
string split: 1a: invalid integer
```
To:
```shell
> string split --fields=a "" abc
string split: a: invalid integer
> string split --fields=1a "" abc
string split: 1a: invalid integer
```
We could end up overflowing if we print out something that's a multiple of the
chunk size, which would then finish printing in the chunk-printing, but not
break out early.
This makes `fish -c begin` fail with a status of 127 - it already
printed a syntax error so that was weird. (127 was the status for
syntax errors when piping to fish, so we stay consistent with that)
We allow multiple `-c` commands, and this will return the regular
status if the last `-c` succeeded.
This is fundamentally an extremely weird situation but this is the
simple targeted fix - we did nothing, unsuccessfully, so we should
fail.
Things to consider in future:
1. Return something better than 127 - that's the status for "unknown
command"!
2. Fail after a `-c` failed, potentially even checking all of them
before executing the first?
Fixes#9888
This restores the status quo where builtins are like external commands
in that they can't see anything after a 0x00, because that's the c-style
string terminator.
* Make NULs work for builtins
This switches from passing a c-string to output_stream_t::append to
passing a proper string.
That means a builtin that prints a NUL no longer crashes with "thread '' panicked
at 'String contained intermediate NUL character: ".
Instead, it will actually handle the NUL, even as an argument.
That means something like
`echo foo\x00bar` will now actually print a NUL instead of truncating
after the `foo` because we passed c-strings around everywhere.
The former is *necessary* for e.g. `string`, the latter is a change
that on the whole makes dealing with NULs easier, but it is a
behavioral change.
To restore the c-string behavior we would have to truncate arguments
at NUL.
See #9739.
* Use AsRef instead of trait bound
This caused math to assert out because it never wrote into the buffer.
Now, presumably it wrote somewhere but I don't know where, so fixing
this seems like a good idea.
Fixes#9735.
Most of it is duplicated, hence untested.
Functions like mbrtowc are not exposed by the libc crate, so declare them
ourselves.
Since we don't know the definition of C macros, add two big hacks to make
this work:
1. Replace MB_LEN_MAX and mbstate_t with values (resp types) that should
be large enough for any implementation.
2. Detect the definition of MB_CUR_MAX in the build script. This requires
more changes for each new libc. We could also use this approach for 1.
Additionally, this commit brings a small behavior change to
read_unquoted_escape(): we cannot decode surrogate code points like \UDE01
into a Rust char, so use � (\UFFFD, replacement character) instead.
Previously, we added such code points to a wcstring; looks like they were
ignored when printed.
Otherwise this would complete
`git --exec-path=foo`, by running `complete -C"'' --exec-path=foo"`,
which would print "--exec-path=foo", and so it would end as
`git --exec-path=--exec-path=foo` because the "replaces token" bit was
lost.
I'm not sure how to solve it cleanly - maybe an additional option to
`complete`?
Anyway, for now this
Fixes#9538.
Another from the "why are we asserting instead of doing something
sensible" department.
The alternative is to make exit() and return() compute their own exit
code, but tbh I don't want any *other* builtin to hit this either?

The test passes but only if executed on its own. It's not the most perfect test,
but I can basically never get `make test` to pass under WSL while that's not the
case on all my other machines.
Keeps the location of original function definition, and also stores
where it was copied. `functions` and `type` show both locations,
instead of none. It also retains the line numbers in the stack trace.
By default, fish does not complete files that have leading dots, unless the
wildcard itself has a leading dot. However this also affected completions;
for example `git add` would not offer `.gitlab-ci.yml` because it has a
leading dot.
Relax this for custom completions. Default file expansion still
suppresses leading dots, but now custom completions can create
leading-dot completions and they will be offered.
Fixes#3707.
This translated ctrl-k to "\v", which is a "vertical tab", and ctrl-l
to "\f" and ctrl-g to "\a".
There is no "vertical tab" or "alarm" or "\f" *key*, so these
shouldn't be translated. Just drop these and call them `\ck` and such.
(vertical tab specifically is utterly useless and I would be okay with
dropping it entirely, I have never seen it used anywhere)
Commit 3b30d92b6 (Commit transient edit when closing pager, 2022-08-31)
inadvertently introduced two regressions to history search:
1. It made Escape keeps the selected history entry,
instead of restoring the commandline before history search.
2. It made history search commands add undo entries.
Fix both of this issues.
Inadvertently broken in a2d816710f,
this made `cd .` no longer offer `cd ../` (same for general file completions
like `ls .`, which only offers dotfiles)
This means cleaning out old universal variables is now just:
```fish
abbr --erase (abbr --list)
```
which makes upgrading much easier.
Note that this erases the currently defined variable and/or any
universal. It doesn't stop at the former because that makes it *easy*
to remove the universals (no running `abbr --erase` twice), and it
doesn't care about globals because, well, they would be gone on
restart anyway.
Fixes#9468.
This now means `abbr --add` has two modes:
```fish
abbr --add name --function foo --regex regex
```
```fish
abbr --add name --regex regex replacement
```
This is because `--function` was seen to be confusing as a boolean flag.
Example output from a Cirrus bionic-asan-clang run:
```

Yes, this detected escape, waiting *300ms* and then "h" as being below
the escape timeout of 120ms.
Unfortunately print_hints was true *by default* - so for all builtins
that didn't pass it it would now be false instead.
This resulted in the trailer missing, which includes the line number
and context. So if you ran a script that includes `bind -M` the error
message would now just be "bind: -M: option requires an argument",
with no indication as to where.
This reverts commit 8a50d47a46.
This would print
```
abbr -a -- dotdot --regex ^\\.\\.+\$ --function multicd
```
which expands "dotdot" to "--regex ^\\.\\.+\$...".
Instead, we move the name to right before the replacement, and move
the `--` before that:
```
abbr -a --regex ^\\.\\.+\$ --function -- dotdot multicd
```
It might be possible to improve that, but this at least round-trips.
Historical behavior is to stop option parsing at the first non-option argument.
Since we have added more options, it seemed impractical to keep that behavior.
However people are using options in their abbr expansions ("abbr e emacs
-nw"). To support this, we ignore options. However, we only ignore them
if they are not valid "abbr" options. Let's ignore all options in the
expansion definition, which is a small price to pay to keep most existing
configurations working.
Fixes#9410
This does not fix other cases which used to work, like
abbr x -unknown
Those are hopefully not used by anyone, so I don't think we need to maintain
support for that.
Also default the marker to '%'. So you may write:
abbr -a L --position anywhere --set-cursor "% | less"
or set an explicit marker:
abbr -a L --position anywhere --set-cursor=! "! | less"
This renames abbreviation triggers from `--trigger-on entry` and
`--trigger-on exec` to `--on-space` and `--on-enter`. These names are less
precise, as abbreviations trigger on any character that terminates a word
or any key binding that triggers exec, but they're also more human friendly
and that's a better tradeoff.
set-cursor enables abbreviations to specify the cursor location after
expansion, by passing in a string which is expected to be found in the
expansion. For example you may create an abbreviation like `L!`:
abbr L! --position anywhere --set-cursor ! "! | less"
and the cursor will be positioned where the "!" is after expansion, with
the "| less" appearing to its right.
This adds support for the `--function` option of abbreviations, so that the
expansion of an abbreviation may be generated dynamically via a fish
function.
Prior to this change, abbreviations were stored as fish variables, often
universal. However we intend to add additional features to abbreviations
which would be very awkward to shoe-horn into variables.
Re-implement abbreviations using a builtin, managing them internally.
Existing abbreviations stored in universal variables are still imported,
for compatibility. However new abbreviations will need to be added to a
function. A follow-up commit will add it.
Now that abbr is a built-in, remove the abbr function; but leave the
abbr.fish file so that stale files from past installs do not override
the abbr builtin.
We have had multiple crashes for relative CDPATH entries. Commit 5e274066e
(Always return absolute path in path_get_cdpath, 2019-10-17) tried to fix
all of them but it failed to do justice to its title. Let's fix this to
actually return absolute paths, always. Take care to to normalize the path
because it is used for autosuggestions. The normalization is mostly relevant
for CDPATH=. (the default) but it doesn't hurt others.
Closes#9407
Inside a comment we offer plain file completions (or command completions if
the comment is in command position). However these completions are broken
because they don't consider any of the surrounding characters. For example
with a command line
echo # comment
^ cursor
we suggest file completions and insert them as
echo # comsomefile ment
Providing completions inside comments does not seem useful and it can be
misleading. Let's remove the completions; this should communicate better that
we are in a free-form comment that's not subject to fish syntax.

Like the pexpect-based pager compeltions test `complete-group-order.py`, but for
the `complete` builtin. Verifies the same sort/dedup rules that apply to the
pager are also applied to the output of `complete` and asserts the sort behavior
for multiple `complete -k` calls for the same command and with the same (or with
both passing) preconditions.
This addresses a long-standing TODO where `complete -C` output isn't
deduplicated.
With this patch, the same deduplication and sort procedure that is run on actual
pager completions is also executed for `complete -C` completions (with a `-C`
payload specified).
This makes it possible to use `complete -C` to test what completions will
actually be generated by the completions pager instead of it displaying
something completely divorced from reality, improving the productivity of fish
completions developers.
Note that completions that wouldn't be shown in the pager are also omitted from
the results, e.g. `test/buildroot/` and `test/fish_expand_test/` are omitted
from the check matches in `checks/complete_directories.fish` because even if
they were generated, the pager wouldn't have shown them. This again makes
reasoning about and debugging completions much easier and more sane.

Ensure that multiple `-k` completions intermixed with one or more non-`-k`
completions are produced in the expected order with the order of all completions
in a single `-k` completion respected, non-`-k` completions correctly sorted and
interspersed, and the results of multiple `-k` completions in the
reverse-intuitive order (with chronologically later completions coming before
chronologically earlier `-k` counterparts), as per #9221.
This particular variant must be executed as a pexpect test since it relies on
the interactive-only `$history` to trigger the recursion. Note that recursion is
possible via other means (e.g. reading/writing a file), the usage of history
here is just one such example.
A false negative while testing locally should be a rare thing, and individual
pexpect tests already take too long in case of a non-match making for a painful
edit-test loop.
Up to now, in normal locales \x was essentially the same as \X, except
that it errored if given a value > 0x7f.
That's kind of annoying and useless.
A subtle change is that `\xHH` now represents the character (if any)
encoded by the byte value "HH", so even for values <= 0x7f if that's
not the same as the ASCII value we would diverge.
I do not believe anyone has ever run fish on a system where that
distinction matters. It isn't a thing for UTF-8, it isn't a thing for
ASCII, it isn't a thing for UTF-16, it isn't a thing for any extended
ASCII scheme - ISO8859-X, it isn't a thing for SHIFT-JIS.
I am reasonably certain we are making that same assumption in other
places.
Fixes#1352
We forgot to decode (i.e. turn into nice wchar_t codepoints)
"byte_literal" escape sequences. This meant that e.g.
```fish
string match ö \Xc3\Xb6
math 5 \X2b 5
```
didn't work, but `math 5 \x2b 5` did, and would print the wonderful
error:
```
math: Error: Missing operator
'5 + 5'
^
```
So, instead, we decode eagerly.
Prior to 1811a2d, the return value for negative return codes was UB and I'd
witnessed both expected cases like -256 mapping to a $status of 0 and unexpected
cases like a return value of -1 mapping to a $status of 0. As such, this doesn't
test just one fixed return value but the entire range from negative multiples of
256 all the way down (rather, up!) to -1.
...for improved cross-platform support.
Following up on the work in c90ac7b. There was one more test that had mktemp in
the littlecheck "shebang" and this also removes a now-unnecessary `env` prefix.
All usages of `mktemp` must go through the (fish-only) `mktemp` test function
that abstracts over the differences across multiple platforms/flavors.
Tests can be easily run individually via `ninja -C build test_xxx` and there
isn't a good reason to randomly manually override $HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for
a test here and a test there.
If it's absolutely necessary, littlecheck.py should be extended to support a
`%temp` variable initialized to a temporary directory and that can be used
instead of calling out to the platform-provided `mktemp` via a subshell.
For unknown reasons, the i686 launchpad builders fail on this date,

Let's just remove it, we've tested dates older than the epoch, this is
slightly redundant.
As discussed in #9221, a bug in the autocomplete that was fixed in 66391922
caused completions to be incorrectly suppressed. The dropped test/check was
inadvertently relying on the buggy behavior and expected a git invocation to
generate no completions but there are, in fact, completions now that the bug has
been resolved.
cc @faho: I'm not sure if you want to replace this with a different check that
actually doesn't yield any completions or if you're happy with it just being
dropped.
This fails on old Ubuntu with:
> touch: invalid date format ‘190112112040.39’
Because we don't actually need the seconds here, we just use minute
resolution. It's fine.
Also use `path mtime`, because that's a portable way to get the mtime.
I forgot `stat` is non-portable. There's no great way to portably get a
machine-readable representation of stat(2) for a file. I don't want to ship our
own lstat(2) wrapper executable just for this test and don't want to fork out to
python or perl for this either - I just wanted to get the tests to pass under
WSL :'(
Anyway, just give up and make it skip just for WSL. If another OS fails this
test in the future, the comments and existing workaround will make it easy to
figure out what the problem is and what needs to be done. We'll cross that
bridge when we get there.
It turns out that not all systems print an unsigned integer as the output of
`stat -c %Y xxx` and the leading `-` can be misinterpreted as a parameter to
`string match`.
There's no guarantee (nor requirement) that the filesystem support pre-epoch
modification dates. If it doesn't, the `test` tests were failing to get the
expected results.
Skip the test if it seems the fs doesn't support pre-epoch timestamps
(determined by pre-epoch mt of `oldest` evaluating to 0 or the unix epoch).

When fish runs with job control enabled, it transfers ownership of the
tty to a child process, and then reclaims the tty after the process
exits. If job control is disabled then fish does not transfer or reclaim
the tty.
It may happen that the child process creates a pgroup and then transfers
the tty to it. In that case fish will not attempt to reclaim the tty, as
fish did not transfer it. Then when fish reads from stdin it will
receive SIGTTIN instead of data.
Fix this by unconditionally claiming the tty in readline().

This errored out *later* because the result was infinite or NaN, but
it didn't actually stop evaluation.
I'm not sure if there is a way to get floating point math to turn an
infinity back into something that doesn't depend on a literal
infinity, but division by zero conceptually isn't a thing we can
support.
There's entire branches of maths dedicated to figuring out what
dividing by "basically zero" means and we don't have to get into it.
This is essentially the inverse of `string pad`.
Where that adds characters to get up to the specified width,
this adds an ellipsis to a string if it goes over a specific maximum width.
The char can be given, but defaults to our ellipsis string.
("…" if the locale can handle it and "..." otherwise)
If the ellipsis string is empty, it just truncates.
For arguments given via argv, it goes line-by-line,
because otherwise length makes no sense.
If "--no-newline" is given, it adds an ellipsis instead and removes all subsequent lines.
Like pad and `length --visible`, it goes by visible width,
skipping recognized escape sequences, as those have no influence on width.
The default target width is the shortest of the given widths that is non-zero.
If the ellipsis is already wider than the target width,
we truncate instead. This is safer overall, so we don't e.g. move into a new line.
This is especially important given our default ellipsis might be width 3.
When selecting items in the pager, only the latest of those items is kept
in the edit history, as so-called transient edit. Each new transient edit
evicts any old transient edit (via undo).
If the pager is closed by a command that performs another transient edit
(like history-token-search-backward) we thus inadvertently undo (= remove)
the token inserted by the pager. Fix this by closing a transient edit
session when closing the pager. Token search will start its own session.

This starts two sleep processes and expects them to be killed on
SIGHUP.
Unfortunately, if this ever fails the second run will also fail
because it'll see the old sleep still lying around (because it'll run
for 130 seconds).
So, what we do is:
1. Keep the pids for these specific sleeps
2. Check if any of them are still running (and only fail for them)
3. Kill them from python

This checked specifically for "| and" and "a=b" and then just gave the
error without a caret at all.
E.g. for a /tmp/broken.fish that contains
```fish
echo foo
echo foo | and cat
```
This would print:
```
/tmp/broken.fish (line 3): The 'and' command can not be used in a pipeline
warning: Error while reading file /tmp/broken.fish
```
without any indication other than the line number as to the location
of the error.
Now we do
```
/tmp/broken.fish (line 3): The 'and' command can not be used in a pipeline
echo foo | and cat
^~^
warning: Error while reading file /tmp/broken.fish
```
Another nice one:
```
fish --no-config -c 'echo notprinted; echo foo; a=b'
```
failed to give the error message!
(Note: Is it really a "warning" if we failed to read the one file we
wer told to?)
We should check if we should either centralize these error messages
completely, or always pass them and remove this "code" system, because
it's only used in some cases.
This skipped printing a "^" line if the start or length of the error
was longer than the source.
That seems like the correc thing at first glance, however it means
that the caret line isn't skipped *if the file goes on*.
So, for example
```fish
echo "$abc["
```
by itself, in a file or via `fish -c`, would not print an error, but
```fish
echo "$abc["
true
```
would. That's not a great way to print errors.
So instead we just.. imagine the start was at most at the end.
The underlying issue why `echo "$abc["` causes this is that `wcstol`
didn't move the end pointer for the index value (because there is no
number there). I'd fix this, but apparently some of
our recursive variable calls absolutely rely on this position value.
This stops us from loading the completions for e.g. `./foo` if there
is no `foo` in path.
This is because the completion scripts will call an unqualified `foo`,
and then error out.
This of course means if the script would work because it never calls
the command, we still don't load it.
Pathed completions via `complete --path` should be unaffected because
they aren't autoloaded anyway.

This was misguidedly "fixed" in
9e08609f85, which made printf error out
with any "-"-prefixed words as the first argument.
Note: This means currently `printf --help` doesn't print the help.
This also matches `echo`, and we currently don't have anything to make
a literal `--help` execute a builtin help except for keywords. Oh well.
Fixes#9132
This used to be kept, so e.g. testing it with
fish_read_limit=5 echo (string repeat -n 10 a)
would cause the prompt and such to error as well.
Also there was no good way to get back to the default value
afterwards.
* string repeat: Don't allocate repeated string all at once
This used to allocate one string and fill it with the necessary
repetitions, which could be a very very large string.
Now, it instead uses one buffer and fills it to a chunk size,
and then writes that.
This fixes:
1. We no longer crash with too large max/count values. Before they
caused a bad_alloc because we tried to fill all RAM.
2. We no longer fill all RAM if given a big-but-not-too-big value. You
could've caused fish to eat *most* of your RAM here.
3. It can start writing almost immediately, instead of waiting
potentially minutes to start.
Performance is about the same to slightly faster overall.
The previous fix was reverted because it broke another scenario. Add tests
for both scenarios.
The first test exposes another problem: autosuggestions are sometimes not
recomputed after selecting the first completion with Tab Tab. Fix that too.
Since the fix for #3892, this escaping style escapes
\n to \\n
as well as
\\ to \\\\
\' to \\'
I believe these two are the only printable characters that are escaped with
ESCAPE_NO_PRINTABLES.
The rationale is probably to keep the encoding unambiguous and reversible.
However that doesn't justify escaping the single quote. Probably this was
an accident, so let's revert that part.
This has the nice effect that single quotes will no longer be escaped
when rendered in the completion pager (which is consistent with other
special characters). Try it:
complete : -a "aaa\'\; aaaa\'\;" -f
Also this makes the error output of builtin bind consistent:
$ bind -e --preset \;
$ bind -e --preset \'
$ bind \;
bind: No binding found for sequence “;”
$ bind \'
bind: No binding found for sequence “'”
the last line is clearly better than the old version:
bind: No binding found for sequence “\'”
In general, the fact that ESCAPE_NO_PRINTABLES escapes the (printable)
backslash is weird but I guess it's fine because it looks more consistent to
users, even though the result is an undocumented subset of the fish language.
command_line_has_transient_edit tracks the actual command line, not the
pager search field. We accidentally reset it after modifying the search field
which causes unexpected behavior - the commandline added by the completion
pager remains even after I press Escape.
This was an inadvertent change from
cc632d6ae9.
Because we used wgetcwd directly before, we always got the "physical"
resolved $PWD.
There's an argument to be made to use the logical $PWD here as well
but I prefer not to make changes lik that in a random commit without
good reason.
This can be used to print the modification time, like `stat` with some
options.
The reason is that `stat` has caused us a number of portability
headaches:
1. It's not available everywhere by default
2. The versions are quite different
For instance, with GNU stat it's `stat -c '%Y'`, with macOS it's `stat
-f %m`.
So now checking a cache file can be done just with builtins.
This adds a line to `set --show`s output like
```
$PATH: originally inherited as |/home/alfa/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin|
```
to help with debugging.
Note that this means keeping an additional copy of the original
environment around. At most this would be one ARG_MAX's worth, which
is about 2M.
