... rather than hard code it to "fish". This affects
what is found in $_ and improves the errors:
For example, if fish was ran with ./fish, instead of
something like:
fish: Expected 3 surprises, only got 2 surprises
we'll see:
./fish: Expected 3 surprises, only got 2 surprises
like most other shell utilities. It's just a tiny bit
of detail that can avoid confusion.
This was causing problems if "fish" wasn't in exec_path, like
if the binary had been renamed.
I also noticed that even with 'fish' not renamed, only paths.data
was made relative to my source tree. paths.sysconf, paths.doc, and
paths.bin were all relative to /usr/local.
In private mode, access to previous history is blocked and new history
does not persist and is only available for the duration of the current
session.
This mode can be used when it is not desirable for commandline history
to leak into a session, e.g. via autocomplete or when it is desirable to
test the behavior of fish in the absence of history items without
permanently clearing the history.
I'm sure there are a lot more features that can be incorporated into
private mode, such as restricting access to certain user-specific
configuration files, etc.
This addresses a lot of the concerns raised in #1363 (which was later
changed to track mosh-specific problems). See also #102.
Load fish docs and configuration out of the source and/or build
directories rather from the installed paths when running directly out
of the cmake build directory.
Closes#5255.
Retrieves the fully resolved path to the currently executing fish binary
(regardless of PATH). Can be used to ensure that the same fish is
launched again from a script.
`get_executable_path()` moved from fish binary to libfish, also cleaned
up some duplicated (but differing!) definitions of PATH_MAX (which was
used by that function) in the process.
Remove dependency on the Linux compatibility layer's procfs being
installed and mounted when running under FreeBSD by directly querying
the MIB for the path to the running fish executable
(KERN_PROC_PATHNAME). Tested under FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE.
This reverts commit 8c14f0f30f.
This list is not reliable - there are many ways for fish to quit that does not
invoke these functions. It's also not necessary since the history is correctly
saved on exec.
This reverts commit e2a3dae58b.
This idea failed because ./share was not complete when bliding via cmake;
it misses critical files such as config.fish.
fish tries to be relocatable by looking for directories relative to its
executable. These directories are not found when running fish from
within a cmake build because the etc directory is not present. Stop requiring
this directory to be present since it's not critical for running fish.
Fixes#4825
This enables users to opt in (or out) of specific features by setting
the fish_features environment variable.
For example `set -U fish_features stderr-nocaret` to opt into removing the
caret redirection.
This introduces a new command line option --features which can be used for
enabling or disabling features for a particular fish session.
Examples:
fish --features stderr-nocaret
fish --features 3.0,no-stderr-nocaret
fish --features all
Note that the feature set cannot be changed in an existing session.
The newly added `:` command is implemented as a function (to avoid
increasing complexity by making it a builtin), but it is saved to a path
that does not match its filename (since its name is somewhat of a
special character that might cause problems during installation).
Directly probing the `colon` function for autoload causes `:` to be
correctly loaded, so doing just that after function paths are loaded
upon startup.
This is a hack since the CPP code shouldn't really be aware of
individual functions, perhaps there is a better way of doing this.
Turns out the process-exit is only ever used in conjunction with
`%self`. Make that explicit by just adding a new "fish_exit" event,
and deprecate the general process-exit machinery.
Fixes#4700.
No longer using RAII wrappers around pthread_mutex_t and pthread_cond_t
in favor of the C++11 std::mutex, std::recursive_mutex, and
std::condition_variable data types.
Internally fish should store vars as a vector of elements. The current
flat string representation is a holdover from when the code was written
in C.
Fixes#4200
It's bugged me forever that the scope is the second arg to `env_get()`
but not `env_set()`. And since I'll be introducing some helper functions
that wrap `env_set()` now is a good time to change the order of its
arguments.
My previous change to eliminate `class var_entry_t` caused me to notice
that `env_get()` turned a set but empty var into a missing var. Which
is wrong. Fixing that brought to light several other pieces of code that
were wrong as a consequence of the aforementioned bug.
Another step to fixing issue #4200.
PR #3691 made most calls to `signal_block()` and `signal_unblock()`
no-ops unless a magic env var is set when fish starts running. It's
been seven months since that change was made and no problems have been
reported. This finishes that work by removing those no-op function calls
and support for the magic env var in our next major release (which won't
happen till at least six months from now).
This is the first step in implementing a better abstraction for handling
fish script vars in the C++ code. It implements a new function (with two
signatures) to provide a standard method for construct the flag string
representation of a fish script array.
Partial fix for #4200
In order to allow the execution of commands before dropping to an
interactive prompt, a new switch, '-C' or '--init-command' has been
added to those switches that we accept.
The documentation has been updated correspondingly.
The original code only supported a single command list to be executed,
and this command list terminates the shell when it completes. To allow
the new command list to preceed the original one, both have been
wrapped in a new container class 'command_line_switches_t'. This is
then passed around in place of the list of strings we used previously.
I had considered moving the interactive, login and other command line
switch states into this container, but doing so would change far more
of the code, moving the structure to be available globally, and I
wasn't confident of the impact. However, this might be a useful thing
to do in the future.
A new function, run_command_list, was lifted from the prior execution
code, and re-used for both the initial command and the regular command
execution.
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
This primarily replaces "STATUS_BUILTIN_OK" with "STATUS_CMD_OK" and
"STATUS_BUILTIN_ERROR" with "STATUS_CMD_ERROR". That is because we want
to make it clear these status codes are applicable to fish functions as
well as builtins. Future changes will make it easier to use these
symbols and values in functions.
This is the next step in determining whether we can disable blocking
signals without a good reason to do so. This makes not blocking signals
the default behavior. If someone finds a problem they can add this to
their ~/config/fish/config.fish file:
set FISH_NO_SIGNAL_BLOCK 0
Alternatively set that env var before starting fish. I won't be surprised
if people report problems. Till now we have relied on people opting in
to this behavior to tell us whether it causes problems. This makes the
experimental behavior the default that has to be opted out of. This will
give us a lot more confidence this change doesn't cause problems before
the next minor release.
Note that there are still a few places where we force blocking of
signals. Primarily to keep SIGTSTP from interfering with the shell in
response to manipulating the controlling tty. Bash is more selective
in the signals it blocks around the problematic syscalls (c.f., its
`git_terminal_to()` function). However, I don't see any value in that
refinement.
There should be just one place that calls `setupterm()`. While refactoring
the code I also decided to not make initializing the curses subsystem a
fatal error. We now try two fallback terminal names ("ansi" and "dumb")
and if those can't be used we still end up with a usable shell.
Fixes#3850
This reverts commit e30f3fee88.
Not sure why I didn't notice this before merging it but the change I'm
reverting makes it impossible to start a login shell.

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.
I'm starting to wonder if IWYU is worth the effort. Nonetheless, this
makes it lint clean on macOS and reduces the number of warnings on
FreeBSD and Linux.
This puts a hard upper bound of 10 MiB on the amount of data that read
will consume. This is to avoid having the shell consume an unreasonable
amount of memory, possibly causing the system to enter a OOM condition,
if the user does something non-sensical.
Fixes#3712
The shell was doing a log of signal blocking/unblocking that hurts
performance and can be avoided. This reduced the elapsed time for a
simple benchmark by 25%.
Partial fix for #2007
This fixes some of the IWYU and cppcheck lint warnings. And only on
macOS (formerly OS X). Fixing these types of warnings on a broader set
of platforms should be done but this is a baby step to making `make
lint-all` have few, if any, warnings. This reduces the number of lines
in the `make lint-all` output on macOS by over 500 lines.
If one does a make fish; ./fish - don't use the make-installed paths.
Also, remove huge chunk of nearly duplicated code #ifdef'd __APPLE__
for relocatable dirs in fish.app: the directories under Resources
in the bundle followed by the changes I made around here a few months
ago now are not different enough that they require a special case.
This works fine for fish.app.
I was surprised fish_indent was running from /usr/local/bin
instead of the git checkout when I ran ./fish
after building fish there. This was more easily noticable after my last
commit. I added some debug lines which probably fish could have been
doing already when looking into that.
This is a pretty major thing during fish initialization, commit it for
everyone.
