Currently a job needs to know three things about its "parents:"
1. Any IO redirections for the block or function containing this job
2. The pgid for the parent job
3. Whether the parent job has been fully constructed (to defer self-disown)
These are all tracked in somewhat separate awkward ways. Collapse them
into a single new type job_lineage_t.
In preparation for concurrent execution, invert the control of function and
block execution. Allow a process to return an std::function that performs the
the execution. This can be run on either the main or a background thread
(eventually).
This adds initial support for statements with prefixed variable assignments.
Statments like this are supported:
a=1 b=$a echo $b # outputs 1
Just like in other shells, the left-hand side of each assignment must
be a valid variable identifier (no quoting/escaping). Array indexing
(PATH[1]=/bin ls $PATH) is *not* yet supported, but can be added fairly
easily.
The right hand side may be any valid string token, like a command
substitution, or a brace expansion.
Since `a=* foo` is equivalent to `begin set -lx a *; foo; end`,
the assignment, like `set`, uses nullglob behavior, e.g. below command
can safely be used to check if a directory is empty.
x=/nothing/{,.}* test (count $x) -eq 0
Generic file completion is done after the equal sign, so for example
pressing tab after something like `HOME=/` completes files in the
root directory
Subcommand completion works, so something like
`GIT_DIR=repo.git and command git ` correctly calls git completions
(but the git completion does not use the variable as of now).
The variable assignment is highlighted like an argument.
Closes#6048
This adds support for `fish_trace`, a new variable intended to serve the
same purpose as `set -x` as in bash. Setting this variable to anything
non-empty causes execution to be traced. In the future we may give more
specific meaning to the value of the variable.
The user's prompt is not traced unless you run it explicitly. Events are
also not traced because it is noisy; however autoloading is.
Fixes#3427
Soon we will have more complicated logic around whether to call tcsetpgrp.
Prepare to centralize the logic by passing in the new term owner pgrp,
instead of having child_setup_process perform the decision.
When executing a job, if the first process is fish internal, then have
fish claim the job's pgroup.
The idea here is that the terminal must be owned by a pgroup containing
the process reading from the terminal. If the first process is fish
internal (a function or builtin) then the pgroup must contain the fish
process.
This is a bit of a workaround of the behavior where the first process that
executes in a job becomes the process group leader. If there's a deferred
process, then we will execute processes out of order so the pgroup can be
wrong. Fix this by setting the process group leader explicitly as fish
when necessary.
Fixes#5855
25afc9b377 made this unnecessary by
having child processes wait for a signal after fork(), but this change
was later reverted. If we artificially slow down fish (e.g. with a sleep)
after the fork call, we see commands getting backgrounded by mistake.
Put back the tcsetgrp() call.
