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.
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
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.
In fish we play fast and loose with status codes as set directly (e.g. on
failed redirections), vs status codes returned from waitpid(), versus the
value $status. Introduce a new value type proc_status_t to encapsulate
this logic.
Fix#5133 changed builtins to acquire the terminal, but this regressed
caused fish to be stopped when running in background via `sudo fish`.
Fix this by only acquiring the terminal if the terminal was owned by the
builtin's pgroup.
Fixes#5147
The order of this list does not need to be strictly maintained any
longer.
Benchmarked with `hyperfine` as follows, where `bench1` is the existing
approach of binary search and `bench2` is the new unordered_set code,
(executed under bash because fish would always return non-zero). The
benchmark code checks each argv to see if it is a builtin keyword (both
return the same result):
```
hyperfine './bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)' './bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)'
Benchmark #1: ./bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)
Time (mean ± σ): 68.4 ms ± 3.0 ms [User: 28.8 ms, System: 38.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 60.4 ms … 75.4 ms
Benchmark #2: ./bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)
Time (mean ± σ): 61.4 ms ± 2.3 ms [User: 23.1 ms, System: 39.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 58.1 ms … 67.1 ms
Summary
'./bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)' ran
1.11x faster than './bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)'
```
The `read` command `-m` and `--mode-name` vars are now deprecated and do
nothing other than result in a warning message. The `read` command now
honors the `FISH_HISTORY` var that is used to control where commands are
read from and written to. You can set that var to the empty string to
suppress the use of both history files. Or you can set it to a history
session ID in which case that will limit the `read` history that is
available.
Fixes#1504
This implements `status is-breakpoint` that returns true if the current
shell prompt is displayed in the context of a `breakpoint` command.
This also fixes several bugs. Most notably making `breakpoint` a no-op if
the shell isn't interactive. Also, typing `breakpoint` at an interactive
prompt should be an error rather than creating a new nested debugging
context.
Partial fix for #1310
Running the tests on travis revealed that some compilers (or at least
with some options) call the wrong struct constructor if there is more
than one struct with the same name but differing definitions.
The bind mode names can be, and are, used in the construction of fish
variable names. So don't allow users to use names that are not legal as
a variable name. This should not break anything since, AFAICT, no
existing fish scripts, including those provided by Oh-My-Fish and
Fisherman define bind modes that would not be legal with this change.
Fixes#3965
This is the first step in addressing issue #3965. It renames some of the
functions involved in validating variable and function names to clarify
their purpose. It also augments the documentation to make the rules for
such identifiers clearly documented.
I recently upgraded the software on my macOS server and was dismayed to
see that cppcheck reported a huge number of format string errors due to
mismatches between the format string and its arguments from calls to
`assert()`. It turns out they are due to the macOS header using `%lu`
for the line number which is obviously wrong since it is using the C
preprocessor `__LINE__` symbol which evaluates to a signed int.
I also noticed that the macOS implementation writes to stdout, rather
than stderr. It also uses `printf()` which can be a problem on some
platforms if the stream is already in wide mode which is the normal case
for fish.
So implement our own `assert()` implementation. This also eliminates
double-negative warnings that we get from some of our calls to
`assert()` on some platforms by oclint.
Also reimplement the `DIE()` macro in terms of our internal
implementation.
Rewrite `assert(0 && msg)` statements to `DIE(msg)` for clarity and to
eliminate oclint warnings about constant expressions.
Fixes#3276, albeit not in the fashion I originally envisioned.
Builtin commands that validate var names should use a consistent
mechanism. I noticed that builtin_read() had it's own custom code that
differed slightly from wcsvarname().
Fixes#3569
This fixes several problems with how the builtin `history` command handles
arguments. It now complains and refuses to do anything if the user specifies
incompatible actions (e.g., `--search` and `--clear`). It also fixes a
regression introduced by previous changes with regard to invocations that
don't explicitly specify `--search` or a search term.
Enhances the history man page to clarify the behavior of various options.
This change is already far larger than I like so unit tests will be added
in a separate commit.
Fixes#3224.
Note: This fixes only a couple problems with the interactive `history
--delete` command in the `history` function. The main problem will be
dealt with via issue #31.
It's currently too easy for someone to bork their shell by doing something
like `function test; return 0; end`. That's obviously a silly, contrived,
example but the point is that novice users who learn about functions are
prone to do something like that without realizing it will bork the shell. Even
expert users who know about the `test` builtin might forget that, say, `pwd`
is a builtin.
This change adds a `--shadow-builtin` flag that must be specified to
indicate you know what you're doing.
Fixes#3000
Remove the "make iwyu" build target. Move the functionality into the
recently introduced lint.fish script. Fix a lot, but not all, of the
include-what-you-use errors. Specifically, it fixes all of the IWYU errors
on my OS X server but only removes some of them on my Ubuntu 14.04 server.
Fixes#2957
This change eliminates global variables like stdout_buffer. Instead we wrap up
the IO information into a new struct io_streams_t, and thread that through
every builtin. This makes the intent clearer, gives us a place to hang new IO
data, and eliminates the ugly global state management like builtin_push_io.
This change moves source files into a src/ directory,
and puts object files into an obj/ directory. The Makefile
and xcode project are updated accordingly.
Fixes#1866
