After updating, fish would immediately die when started in an xterm from
my window manager (wmii) with a message like:
fish: builtin.cpp:3357: int builtin_end(parser_t&, wchar_t**): Assertion `false' failed.
fish: Job 1, “~/code/fish-shell/fish” terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)
Starting fish from an existing shell worked, and running it on other
machines that I was only SSHing into worked as well. I did discover that
on one machine starting git from one specific directory
(/home/ian/bml/kernel) would cause this failure, but starting from any
other directory worked as normal. I'm not entirely sure what
circumstances contribute to this failure - starting from a copy of the
kernel directory works fine.
The failure only started with the following commit, which introduced the
assert(false):
commit d788c84440
Made type property of block_t constant and private
Further work towards cleaning up block_t hierarchy
Looking at this fail in gdb:
(gdb) r

$1 = FAKE
So this happens when we run an end command for a FAKE block.
The below patch adds an empty case for FAKE blocks to avoid hitting the
assert. I would need to study the code in more detail to understand if
we should even be executing this code if we are in a FAKE block, but
this patch seems to solve the issue for me.

* case no properly handles -h and --help flags, i.e. treats it as
pattern
* fixed case escaping:
The following expressions now work correctly:
switch '*'
echo '*'
echo Match any string
end
switch '*'
echo '\*'
echo Match asterix
end
switch '\\'
echo '\\\\'
echo Match slash
end
The same for '?' sign
* Editor mode is no the default
* Use -i or --interactive or -e fish to edit function in interactive
mode
* tmpname is now created with random number added and check that file
do not already exist
* check $TMPDIR existence and put /tmp if it does not exist
* There is an undocumented feature to use functions, started with dash.
Introduce necessary changes to funced, functions, def_function()
in order to make it work properly.
* Delete editor guessing. Use $EDITOR variable or -e key
