Variables set in if and while conditions are in the enclosing block, not
the if/while statement block. For example:
if set -l var (somecommand) ; end
echo $var
will now work as expected.
Fixes#4820. Fixes#1212.
This promotes "and" and "or" from a type of statement to "job
decorators," as a possible prefix on a job. The point is to rationalize
how they interact with && and ||.
In the new world 'and' and 'or' apply to a entire job conjunction, i.e.
they have "lower precedence." Example:
if [ $age -ge 0 ] && [ $age -le 18 ]
or [ $age -ge 75 ] && [ $age -le 100 ]
echo "Child or senior"
end
Prior to this fix, each redirection type was a separate token_type.
Unify these under a single type TOK_REDIRECT and break the redirection
type out into a new sub-type redirection_type_t.
The previous attempt to support newlines after pipes changed the lexer to
swallow newlines after encountering a pipe. This has two problems that are
difficult to fix:
1. comments cannot be placed after the pipe
2. fish_indent won't know about the newlines, so it will erase them
Address these problems by removing the lexer behavior, and replacing it
with a new parser symbol "optional_newlines" allowing the newlines to be
reflected directly in the fish grammar.
This switches function execution from the function's source code to
its stored node and pstree. This means we no longer have to re-parse
the function every time we execute it.
This concerns block nodes with redirections, like
begin ... end | grep ...
Prior to this fix, we passed in a pointer to the node. Switch to passing
in the tnode and parsed source ref. This improves type safety and better
aligns with the function-node plans.
Prior to this fix, functions stored a string representation of their
contents. Switch them to storing a parsed source reference and the
tnode of the contents. This is part of an effort to avoid reparsing
a function's contents every time it executes.
This was a symbol that represented either an argument or a redirection.
This was only used as part of argument_or_redirection_list.
It's simpler to just have these types be alternatives in the list type.
* Hoist `for` loop control var to enclosing scope
It should be possible to reference the last value assigned to a `for`
loop control var when the loop terminates. This makes it easier to detect
if we broke out of the loop among other things. This change makes fish
`for` loops behave like most other shells.
Fixes#1935
* Remove redundant line
Using a read-only variable like `status` as a for loop control variable
has never worked. But without this change you simply get non-sensical
behavior that leaves you scratching your head in puzzlement. This change
replaces the non-sensical behavior with an explicit error message.
Fixes#4342
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.
This makes command substitutions impose the same limit on the amount
of data they accept as the `read` builtin. It does not limit output of
external commands or builtins in other contexts.
Fixes#3822
