We identify when the universal variable file has changed out from under us by
comparing a bunch of fields from its stat: inode, device, size, high-precision
timestamp, generation. Linux aggressively reuses inodes, and the size may be
the same by coincidence (which is the case in the tests). Also, Linux
officially has nanosecond precision, but in practice it seems to only uses
millisecond precision for storing mtimes. Thus if there are three or more
updates within a millisecond, every field we check may be the same, and we are
vulnerable to the ABA problem. I believe this explains the occasional test
failures.
The solution is to manually set the nanosecond field of the mtime timestamp to
something unlikely to be duplicated, like a random number, or better yet, the
current time (with nanosecond precision). This is more in the spirit of the
timestamp, and it means we're around a million times less likely to collide.
This seems to fix the tests.
This adds the new builtin 'string' which supports various string
manipulation and matching algorithms, including PCRE based regular
expressions.

Updates after review comments
- make match/replace without -a operate on the first match on each
argument
- use different exit codes for "no operation performed" and errors, as
grep does
- refactor regex compile code
- use human-friendly error messages from pcre2
- improve error handling & reporting elsewhere
- add a few tests
- make some doc fixes
- some simplification & cleanup
- fix ci build failure (I hope)

This reverts commit cd7f1a15f8.
Contemporary Cygwin systems provide the correct symlinks on both 32-bit
and 64-bit installations to allow the transparent use of libncursesw as
libncurses.
Reversion of #1454.
Doxygen 1.8.6 and lower do not have the \\htmlonly[block] directive
which fixes a multitude of problems in the rendering of the docs. In
Doxygen 1.8.7 the list of understood HTML entities was greatly
increased. I tested earlier versions and many little issues returned.
The inotify notifier is fragile, fails on travis, and fails to compile
on certain Linux kernels. It doesn't appear to work as well as the named
pipe mechanism. Best to just get rid of it.
This removes undefined behavior in the previous code by properly
checking for miliseconds (actually typing proper names, not abusing
pointer arithmetics).
configure will no longer check for the existence of extra include, lib
and bin directories in /usr/pkg /sw /opt /opt/local /usr/local.
The check was not done in a particularly sensible manner and there are
now no mandatory dependencies that not shipped in the main system trees
on virtually every system in existence.
If building with Fink, follow these directions as suggested by the fink
project:
http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-general.php#compile-myselfCloses#1185, and closes#1186.
Removes some unused variables and out-of-date references.
Wraps some tests in quotes to avoid expansion errors.
Removes the fish.spec generated file as it is out of date and is
arguably better maintained by downstream packagers.
See http://github.com/zanchey/fish-build/ for a better RPM spec file.
- expunge LIBS_COMMON, it doesn't get used anywhere
- don't reset LIBS to empty
- move the gettext test as every binary depends on it
- only include one set of libraries
m4_esyscmd_s is a macro only available in Autoconf 2.64, which despite
being released in 2009 is not available on a number of build targets for
the project (specifically CentOS/RHEL 6).
ca8e4c08a7 tries to remove the error produced with m4_pattern_allow,
but that just silences the sanity check.
Instead, replace m4_esyscmd_s with m4_esyscmd + manual removal of
newlines.
Note that this will NOT get updated on every run - even if autoconf is run manually, the value may be cached. The PACKAGE_VERSION variable/symbol will not be reliable. Use FISH_BUILD_VERSION instead.
