These tests used raw, unescaped parentheses to perform `test` logical
grouping, but the test failures weren't caught because the parser
evaluation errors were not being propagated (fixed in bdbd173e).
Mostly related to usage _(L"foo"), keeping in mind the _
macro does a wcstring().c_str() already.
And a smattering of other trivial micro-optimizations certain
to not help tangibly.
As it turns out, NetBSD's rand(3) is awful - it's possible that in any
given run it'll only return odd numbers, which means
while (rand() % 10)
will never stop.
Since random(3) is also standardized and works, let's use that!
This introduces "internal processes" which are backed by a pthread instead
of a normal process. Internal processes are reaped using the topic
machinery, plugging in neatly alongside the sigchld topic; this means that
process_mark_finished_children() can wait for internal and external
processes simultaneously.
Initially internal processes replace the forked process that fish uses to
write out the output of blocks and functions.
This adds an "in-process" interpretation of dup2s, allowing for fish to
output directly to the correct file descriptor without having to perform
an in-kernel dup2 sequence.
topic_monitor allows for querying changes posted to one or more topics,
initially sigchld. This will eventually replace the waitpid logic in
process_mark_finished_children().
Comment from the new header:
Topic monitoring support. Topics are conceptually "a thing that can
happen." For example, delivery of a SIGINT, a child process exits, etc. It
is possible to post to a topic, which means that that thing happened.
Associated with each topic is a current generation, which is a 64 bit
value. When you query a topic, you get back a generation. If on the next
query the generation has increased, then it indicates someone posted to
the topic.
For example, if you are monitoring a child process, you can query the
sigchld topic. If it has increased since your last query, it is possible
that your child process has exited.
Topic postings may be coalesced. That is there may be two posts to a given
topic, yet the generation only increases by 1. The only guarantee is that
after a topic post, the current generation value is larger than any value
previously queried.
Tying this all together is the topic_monitor_t. This provides the current
topic generations, and also provides the ability to perform a blocking
wait for any topic to change in a particular topic set. This is the real
power of topics: you can wait for a sigchld signal OR a thread exit.
This is a large change to how io_buffers are filled. The essential problem
comes about with code like (example):
echo ( /bin/pwd )
The output of /bin/pwd must go to fish, not the tty. To arrange for this,
fish does the following:
1. Invoke pipe() to create a pipe.
2. Add an io_bufferfill_t redirection that owns the write end of the pipe.
3. After fork (or equiv), call dup2() to replace pwd's stdout with this pipe.
Now when /bin/pwd writes, it will send output to the read end of the pipe.
But who reads it?
Prior to this fix, fish would do the following in a loop:
1. select() on the pipe with a 10 msec timeout
2. waitpid(WNOHANG) on the pwd proc
This polling is ugly and confusing and is what is replaced here.
With this new change, fish now reads from the pipe via a background thread:
1. Spawn a background pthread, which select()s on the pipe's read end with
a long (100 msec) timeout.
2. In the foreground, waitpid() (allowing hanging) on the pwd proc.
The big win here is a major simplification of job_t::continue_job() since
it no longer has to worry about filling buffers. This will make things
easier for concurrent execution.
It may not be obvious why the background thread still needs a poll (100 msec).
The answer is for cases where the write end of the fd escapes, in particular
background processes invoked inside command substitutions. psub is perhaps
the only important case of this (other shells typically just hang here).
This makes some significant architectual improvements to io_pipe_t and
io_buffer_t.
Prior to this fix, io_buffer_t subclassed io_pipe_t. io_buffer_t is now
replaced with a class io_bufferfill_t, which does not subclass pipe.
io_pipe_t no longer remembers both fds. Instead it has an autoclose_fd_t,
so that the file descriptor ownership is clear.
This represents a "resolved" io_chain_t, where all of the different io_data_t
types have been reduced to a sequence of dup2() and close(). This will
eliminate a lot of the logic duplication around posix_spawn vs fork, and pave
the way for in-process redirections.

This requires threading environment_t through many places, such as completions
and history. We introduce null_environment_t for when the environment isn't
important.
Removes the dependency on the current user's home directory, instead
overriding it to be within the current hierarchy.
Fixes the tests on Debian buildd, where the home directory is
deliberately unwriteable to pick up errors in builds.
Return STATUS_INVALID_ARGS when failing due to evaluation errors,
so we can tell the difference between an error and falseness.
Add a test for the ERANGE error
If the user is in a directory which has been unlinked, it is possible
for the path .. to not exist, relative to the working directory.
Always pass in the working directory (potentially virtual) to
path_get_cdpath; this ensures we check absolute paths and are immune
from issues if the working directory has been unlinked.
Also introduce a new function path_normalize_for_cd which normalizes the
"join point" of a path and a working directory. This allows us to 'cd' out of
a non-existent directory, but not cd into such a directory.
Fixes#5341
Limit the fish_wcstod fast path to ASCII digits only, to fix the problem
observed in the discussion for a700acadfa
where LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 would cause `test` to interpret commas instead of
periods inside floating point values.
This switches fish to a "virtual" PWD, where it no longer uses getcwd to
discover its PWD but instead synthesizes it based on normalizing cd against
the $PWD variable.
Both pwd and $PWD contain the virtual path. pwd is taught about -P to
return the physical path, and -L the logical path (which is the default).
Fixes#3350
This new function performs normalization of paths including dropping
/./ segments, and resolving /../ segments, in preparation for switching
fish to a "virtual" PWD.
Coalesces commands with leading (if even possible) and trailing
whitespace into the same item, improving the experience when iterating
over history entries.
Closes#4908.
If the replacement in `string replace` is invalid, prior to this fix we would
enter into an infinite loop trying to parse it. Instead report errors correctly.
Fixes#3381
Rather than having tokenizer_error as pointers to objects, switch it back
to just an error code value. This makes reasoning about it easier since
it's immutable values instead of mutable objects, and it avoids allocation
during startup.
Factor the history search fields into a new class.
As a side effect, this shares the deduplication logic, so that token search
no longer returns duplicates.
Fixes#4795
separated_buffer_t encapsulates the logic around discarding (which
was previously duplicated between output_stream_t and io_buffer_t),
and will also encapsulate the logic around explicitly separated
output.
While supported by gcc and clang, \e is a gcc-specific extension and not
formally defined in the C or C++ standards.

This partially reverts 5b489ca30f, with
carets acting as redirections unless the stderr-nocaret flag is set.
This flag is off by default but may be enabled on the command line:
fish --features stderr-nocaret
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.
This introduces a new type features_t that exposes feature flags. The intent
is to allow a deprecation/incremental adoption path. This is not a general
purpose configuration mechanism, but instead allows for compatibility during
the transition as features are added/removed.
Each feature has a user-presentable short name and a short description. Their
values are tracked in a struct features_t.
We start with one feature stderr_nocaret, but it's not hooked up yet.
This switches the universal variables file from a machine-specific
name to the fixed '.config/fish/fish_universal_variables'. The old file
name is migrated if necessary.
Fixes#1912
This removes the caret as a shorthand for redirecting stderr.
Note that stderr may be redirected to a file via 2>/some/path...
and may be redirected with a pipe via 2>|.
Fixes#4394
This enables some limited use of arguments for wrapping completions. The
simplest example is that complete gco -w 'git checkout' now works like
you would want: `gco <tab>` now invokes git's completions with the
`checkout` argument prepended.
Fixes#1976
Previously, in
ls ^a bcd
(with "^" as the cursor), kill-word would delete the "a" and then go
on, remove the space and the "bcd".
With this, it will only kill the "a".
Fixes#4747.
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.
Prior to this the tokenizer ran "one ahead", where tokenizer_t::next()
would in fact return the last-parsed token. Switch to parsing on demand
instead of running one ahead; this is simpler and prepares for tokenizer
changes.
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.
Prior to this fix, if you attempt to complete from inside a quote and the
completion contained an entity that cannot be represented inside quotes
(i.e. \n \r \t \b), the result would be a broken mess of quotes. Rewrite
the implementation so that it exits the quotes, emits the correct unquoted
escape, and then re-enters the quotes.
Properly escape literal tildes in tab completion results. Currently we
always escape tildes in unquoted arguments; in the future we may escape
only leading tildes.
Fixes#2274
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.
Changed cd completion to differentiate between cd autosuggest and cd tab
completion. cd autosuggest will find deepest unique hierarchy and cd tab
completion will not.
Issue #4402
The type cached_esc_sequences_t caches escape sequences, and is tasked
with finding an escape sequence that prefixes a given string. Before
this fix, it did so by storing the lengths of cached escape sequences,
and searching for substrings of that length. The new implementation
instead stores all cached escape sequences in a sorted vector, and uses
binary search to find the shortest escape sequence that is a prefix of
the input. This is a substantial simplification that also reduces
allocations.
This eliminates the "missing" notion of env_var_t. Instead
env_get returns a maybe_t<env_var_t>, which forces callers to
handle the possibility that the variable is missing.
maybe_t is an implementation of the Maybe/Optional type, allowing
for an optional value to be stored. This will enable a more
principled approach for functions that return values or failure,
such as env_get.
This commit backs out certain optimizations around setting environment
variables, and replaces them with move semantics. env_set accepts a
list, by value, permitting callers to use std::move to transfer
ownership.
cherry-picked from krader1961/fish-shell commit b69df4fe72
Fixes#4353 (regression in indexing of history contents) and introduces
new unit tests to catch bad $history indexing in the future.
Make setting fish vars more efficient by avoiding creating a
wcstring_list_t for the case where we're setting one value. For the case
where we're passing a list of values swap it with the list in the var
rather than copying it. This makes the benchmark in #4200 approximately
6% faster.
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
Make the `env_var_t::missing_var()` object a singleton rather than a
dynamically constructed object. This requires some discipline in its use
since C++ doesn't directly support immutable objects. But it is slightly
more efficient and helps identify code that incorrectly mutates `env_var_t`
objects that should not be modified.
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.
