This is preparing to address the problem where fish cannot wait on a
reaped job, because it only looks at the active job list. Introduce the
idea of a "wait handle," which is a thing that `wait` can use to check if
a job is finished. A job may produce its wait handle on demand, and
parser_t will save the wait handle from wait-able jobs at the point they
are reaped.
This change merely introduces the idea; the next change makes builtin_wait
start using it.
Stop using "--no-init"/"-X" because we have no actual reason to and it
may break mouse initialization on my best friend macOS.
Use --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS, the capital version that only lets through
specific escape sequences, not *everything* - we shouldn't have
anything weird here, but less heavily discourages the other version.
Allow a user's $LESS to override.
Fixes#7997.
In such cases, `pacmd help` prints
No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
to stderr, which ends up printed to the user terminal.
Apparently new sphinxen want to create an *additional* section
directory, so things end up in /usr/share/fish/man/man1/1, instead of /usr/share/fish/man/man1
Why? No idea.
I can't reproduce it but I'm told this section fixes it.
Fixes#7996
This isn't really a "locale" variable as such. It has no effect on
encoding and stuff, it's just the output language.
What we really want here is get something better than the awkward "C"
or "POSIX" for LC_CTYPE specifically - everything else doesn't really
matter.
In rare cases this may cause the universal variable file to drop
an update, if two happen at the same time and HOME is on an nfs mount.
But this is considered better than hanging if nfs is lockless.
Fixes#7968.
env_universal_t locking discipline is now managed by env.cpp.
That is, the shared instance of env_universal_t is managed by a lock.
We no longer need to have an internal lock, so remove it.
Previously an instance of env_universal_t had to be created with a file
path. Switch to allowing it to be created as empty, and later initialized
with the file path. This will help simplify the case where universal
variables are not used; they may simply be not initialized and so just
appear empty.
This avoids using locks for the history file if the file appears to be on
a remote file system, like NFS. This is to avoid hangs if the filesystem
does not support locking.
If locking is not enabled, then in rare cases, history items may be
dropped if multiple sessions try to write to the history file at once.
This is thought to be better than hanging. Hopefully the recent change to
require a trailing newline will avoid propagating partial items.
Prior to this fix, an escaped character like \x41 (hex for ascii A)
was interpreted the same was as A, so that $\x41 would be the same
as $A. Fix this by inserting an INTERNAL_SEPARATOR before these escapes,
so that we no longer treat it as part of the variable name.
This also affects brackets; don't treat echo $foo\1331\135 the same as
echo $foo[1].
Fixes#7969
Recently Safari seems to hang with fish webconfig. This is apparently
because Safari is opening a socket and not writing to it, causing
webconfig to hang until the timeout (30 seconds). It's not clear why.
Use ThreadingMixIn so that FishConfigTCPServer can handle more
than one connection at a time. This fixes the hang under Safari.
In the named pipe notifier, notifications are broadcast by writing to the
pipe, waiting briefly, and then reading it back. When clients see the pipe
as readable, they report the uvars as potentially changed and fish will
sync against the uvar file.
Prior to this change, we synced repeatedly when the pipe was readable. But
we can do somewhat better by also checking the named pipe's timestamp (via
fstat). If the pipe has not changed, then we can skip the sync even if
there is currently data lingering on it.
With this change we should sync against the variable file less often
(typically once or twice per write); in the next change we refactor this
logic so it's easier to follow.
