Prior to this commit "builtin -h" would silently fail when no
documentation is installed. This happens when running fish without
installing it, or when the docs are not installed.
See #7824
After commit 6dd6a57c60, 3 remaining
builtins were affected by uint8_t overflow: `exit`, `return`, and
`functions --query`.
This commit:
- Moves the overflow check from `builtin_set_query` to `builtin_run`.
- Removes a conflicting int -> uint8_t conversion in `builtin_return`.
- Adds tests for the 3 remaining affected builtins.
- Simplifies the wording for the documentation for `set --query`.
- Does not change documentation for `functions --query`, because it does
not state the exit code in its API.
- Updates the CHANGELOG to reflect the change to all builtins.
Prior to this fix, if stdin were explicitly closed, then builtins would
silently fail. For example:
count <&-
would just fail with status 1. Remove this limitation and allow each
builtin to handle a closed stdin how it sees fit.
This is too important to not be one.
For one if it couldn't be loaded for any reason it would
break a lot of fish scripts.
Also this is faster by ~20x.
Fixes#7342
* Add an "_" builtin to call into gettext
We already have gettext in C++ (if available), so it seems weird to
fork off a command to start it from script.
This is only for fish's own translations. There's no way to call into
other catalogs, it just translates all arguments separately.
This is faster by a factor of ~1000, which allows us to call
translations much more, especially from scripts.
E.g. making fish_greeting global by default would hurt cost-wise,
given that my fish starts up in 8ms and just calling the current `_`
function takes 2ms, and that would have two calls.
Incidentally, this also makes us rely on a weirdly defined function
less, so it:
Fixes#6804.
* docs: Add `_` docs
Let's see if that filename works out.
* Reword _ docs
For `true`, this makes uses like the
: some description of the job &
we used to have impossible, also it's just *wrong* that true can
return something that isn't true.
For false it's not super important but it should generally be
symmetrical with true.
fish has some unprincipled code that attempts to tcsetpgrp() to own the
terminal before running a builtin; this was added because 'read' might
want to read from the terminal. I added this code before fully
understanding how process groups and terminals work. A better fix would
be to ensure that fish is marked as the pgroup leader in the job when
the builtin is the first process in the job, and we do that now.
Courageously back out the changes to grab the terminal; see #5147 and
also #5133.
Previously, the block stack was a true stack. However in most cases, you
want to traverse the stack from the topmost frame down. This is awkward
to do with range-based for loops.
Switch it to pushing new blocks to the front of the block list.
This simplifies some traversals.
user_supplied was used to distinguish IO redirections which were
explicit, vs those that came about through "transmogrphication." But
transmogrification is no more. Remove the flag.
Every builtin or function shipped with fish supports flag -h or --help to
print a slightly condensed version of its manpage.
Some of those help messages are longer than a typical screen;
this commit pipes the help to a pager to make it easier to read.
As in other places in fish we assume that either $PAGER or "less" is a
valid pager and use that.
In three places (error messages for bg, break and continue) the help is
printed to stderr instead of stdout. To make sure the error message is
visible in the pager, we pass it to builtin_print_help, every call of which
needs to be updated.
Fixes#6227
We used to have a global notion of "is the shell interactive" but soon we
will want to have multiple independent execution threads, only some of
which may be interactive. Start tracking this data per-parser.
Blocks will soon need to be shared across parsers. Migrate the loop status
(like break or continue) from the block into the libdata. It turns out we
only ever need one, we don't need to track this per-block.
Make it an enum class.
This runs build_tools/style.fish, which runs clang-format on C++, fish_indent on fish and (new) black on python.
If anything is wrong with the formatting, we should fix the tools, but automated formatting is worth it.
I did not realize builtins could safely call into the parser and inject
jobs during execution. This is much cleaner than hacking around the
required shape of a plain_statement.
This printed weird things like
```fish
$ functions -x
functions: Unknown option '-x'
(Type 'help functions' for related documentation)
```
Instead, let's make it
```fish
$ functions -x
functions: Unknown option '-x'
(Type 'help functions' for related documentation)
```
As a simple replacement for `wc -l`.
This counts both lines on stdin _and_ arguments.
So if "file" has three lines, then `count a b c < file` will print 6.
And since it counts newlines, like wc, `echo -n foo | count` prints 0.
Mostly related to usage _(L"foo"), keeping in mind the _
macro does a wcstring().c_str() already.
And a smattering of other trivial micro-optimizations certain
to not help tangibly.
