Cancellation groups were meant to reflect the following idea: if you ran a
simple block:
begin
cmd1
cmd2
end
then under job control, cmd1 and cmd2 would get separate groups; however if
either exits due to SIGINT or SIGQUIT we also want to propagate that to the
outer block. So the outermost block and its interior jobs would share a
cancellation group. However this is more complex than necessary; it's
sufficient for the execution context to just store an int internally.
This ought not to affect anything user-visible.
Currently, when a variable like $fish_color_command is set but empty:
set -g fish_color_command
what happens is that highlight parses it and ends up with a "normal"
color.
Change it so instead it sees that the variable is empty and goes
on to check the fallback variable, e.g. fish_color_normal.
That makes it easier to make themes that override variables.
This means that older themes that expect an empty variable to be
"normal" need to be updated to set it to "normal".
Following from this, we could make writing .theme files easier by no
longer requiring them to list all variables with specific values.
Either the theme reader could be updated to implicitly set known color
variables to empty, or the themes could feature empty values.
See #8787.
fish reads the tty modes at startup, and tries to restore them to the
original values on exit, to be polite. However this causes problems when
fish is run in a pipeline with another process which also messes with the
tty modes. Example:
fish -c 'echo foo' | vim -
Here vim's manipulation of the tty would race with fish, and often vim
would end up with broken modes.
Only restore the tty if we are interactive. Fixes#8705.
This is a big cleanup to how tty transfer works. Recall that when job
control is active, we transfer the tty to jobs via tcsetpgrp().
Previously, transferring was done "as needed" in continue_job. That is, if
we are running a job, and the job wants the terminal and does not have it,
we will transfer the tty at that point.
This got pretty weird when running mixed pipelines. For example:
cmd1 | func1 | cmd2
Here we would run `func1` before calling continue_job. Thus the tty
would be transferred by the nested function invocation, and also restored
by that invocation, potentially racing with tty manipulation from cmd1 or
cmd2.
In the new model, migrate the tty transfer responsibility outside of
continue_job. The caller of continue_job is then responsible for setting up
the tty. There's two places where this gets done:
1. In `exec_job`, where we run a job for the first time.
2. In `builtin_fg` where we continue a stopped job in the foreground.
Fixes#8699
This is a cleanup of job groups, rationalizing a bunch of stuff. Some
notable changes (none user-visible hopefully):
1. Previously, if a job group wanted a pgid, then we would assign it to the
first process to run in the job group. Now we deliberately mark which
process will own the pgroup, via a new `leads_pgrp` flag in process_t. This
eliminates a source of ambiguity.
2. Previously, if a job were run inside fish's pgroup, we would set fish's
pgroup as the group of the job. But this meant we had to check if the job
had fish's pgroup in lots of places, for example when calling tcsetpgrp.
Now a job group only has a pgrp if that pgrp is external (i.e. the job is
under job control).
* Turn on default bindings for --no-config mode
The fallback bindings are super awkward to use.
This was called out specifically in #7921, I'm going for the targeted
fix for now.
* Only change keybindings when interactive
That's also when we'd source them normally.
This tried migrating old abbreviations *twice* - once from the 2.3
scheme to the 2.4 one, and once from that to the 3.0 scheme.
Since this is purely for upgrading from fishes < 3.0, and basically
untested, let's remove it.
If anyone does that upgrade, they'll simply have to reexecute the abbrs.
These were changed in fish 3.0 in December 2018.
This means upgrading from fish 2.7.1 or earlier to the next fish
version will require users to set their universal variable again.
