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
This is the first step to implementing issue #4200 is to stop subclassing
env_var_t from wcstring. Not too surprisingly doing this identified
several places that were incorrectly treating env_var_t and wcstring as
interchangeable types. I'm not talking about those places that passed
an env_var_t instance to a function that takes a wcstring. I'm talking
about doing things like assigning the former to the latter type, relying
on the implicit conversion, and thus losing information.
We also rename `env_get_string()` to `env_get()` for symmetry with
`env_set()` and to make it clear the function does not return a string.
PR #3691 made most calls to `signal_block()` and `signal_unblock()`
no-ops unless a magic env var is set when fish starts running. It's
been seven months since that change was made and no problems have been
reported. This finishes that work by removing those no-op function calls
and support for the magic env var in our next major release (which won't
happen till at least six months from now).
The `read` command `-m` and `--mode-name` vars are now deprecated and do
nothing other than result in a warning message. The `read` command now
honors the `FISH_HISTORY` var that is used to control where commands are
read from and written to. You can set that var to the empty string to
suppress the use of both history files. Or you can set it to a history
session ID in which case that will limit the `read` history that is
available.
Fixes#1504
Don't import the bash history if the user has specified that a non-default
fish history file should be used. Also, rename the var that specifies
the fish history session ID from `FISH_HISTFILE` to `FISH_HISTORY`.
Fixes#4172
Using the FISH_HISTFILE variable will let people customise the session
to use for the history file. The resulting history file is:
`$XDG_DATA_HOME/fish/name_history`
Where `name` is the name of the session. The default value is `fish`
which results in the current history file.
If it's set to an empty string, the history will not be stored to a
file.
Fixes#102
Switch from null terminated arrays to `wcstring_list_t` for lists of
special env var names. Rename `list_contains_string` to `contains` and
modify the latter interface to not rely on a `#define`.
Rename `list_contains_string()` to `contains()` and eliminate the
current variadic implementation. Update all callers of the removed
version to use the string list version.
I recently upgraded the software on my macOS server and was dismayed to
see that cppcheck reported a huge number of format string errors due to
mismatches between the format string and its arguments from calls to
`assert()`. It turns out they are due to the macOS header using `%lu`
for the line number which is obviously wrong since it is using the C
preprocessor `__LINE__` symbol which evaluates to a signed int.
I also noticed that the macOS implementation writes to stdout, rather
than stderr. It also uses `printf()` which can be a problem on some
platforms if the stream is already in wide mode which is the normal case
for fish.
So implement our own `assert()` implementation. This also eliminates
double-negative warnings that we get from some of our calls to
`assert()` on some platforms by oclint.
Also reimplement the `DIE()` macro in terms of our internal
implementation.
Rewrite `assert(0 && msg)` statements to `DIE(msg)` for clarity and to
eliminate oclint warnings about constant expressions.
Fixes#3276, albeit not in the fashion I originally envisioned.
I'm starting to wonder if IWYU is worth the effort. Nonetheless, this
makes it lint clean on macOS and reduces the number of warnings on
FreeBSD and Linux.
We now are stingier with taking history file locks - if the lock
is held too long we may just break it. But the current file save
architecture holds the lock for the duration of the save. It also
has some not-quite-right checks that can cause spurious failures in
the history stress test.
Reimplement the history save to retry. Rather than holding the lock,
rewrite the file to a temporary location and then take the lock. If
the history file has changed, start all over.
This is going to be slower under contention, but the advantage is that
the lock is only held for a brief period (stat + rename) rather than
across calls to write().
Some updated logic also fixes spurious failures that were easy to observe
when tsan was enabled. These failures were due to failing to check if the
file at the path was the same file we opened.
The next step is to move the history file saving to a background thread
to reduce the chances of it impacting user's typing.
Allow retrying, fix an issue where we trip over our own changes
by thinking the file has changed when we are responsible for changing
it, and improve some commenting
This class is used to accumulate data to be written to the history
file. It has some dubious optimizations around trying to track an
offset separately from the size of the buffer. After some investigation
these aren't helping, vector behaves fine on its own. So just make
this a simple wrapper around vector.
mkostemp is not available on some older versions of macOS. In order
for our built binaries to run on them, mkostemp must be weak-linked.
On other systems, we use the autoconf check.
Introduce a function fish_mkstemp_cloexec which uses mkostemp if
it was detected and is available at runtime, else falls back to
mkstemp. This isolates some logic that is currently duplicated in
two places.
See #3138 for more on weak linking.
If acquiring a lock on the history or uvar file takes more than 250 ms
disable locking of the file. On systems with broken remote file system
locking it can cause tens of seconds delay after running each command
which can make the shell borderline unusable.
This also changes history file locking to use flock() rather than
fcntl() to be consistent with uvar file locking. It also implements the
250 ms time limit before giving up on locking.
Fixes#685
The existing code is inconsistent, and in a couple of cases wrong, about
dealing with strings that are not valid ints. For example, there are
locations that call wcstol() and check errno without first setting errno
to zero. Normalize the code to a consistent pattern. This is mostly to
deal with inconsistencies between BSD, GNU, and other UNIXes.
This does make some syntax more liberal. For example `echo $PATH[1 .. 3]`
is now valid due to uniformly allowing leading and trailing whitespace
around numbers. Whereas prior to this change you would get a "Invalid
index value" error. Contrast this with `echo $PATH[ 1.. 3 ]` which was
valid and still is.
This fixes some of the IWYU and cppcheck lint warnings. And only on
macOS (formerly OS X). Fixing these types of warnings on a broader set
of platforms should be done but this is a baby step to making `make
lint-all` have few, if any, warnings. This reduces the number of lines
in the `make lint-all` output on macOS by over 500 lines.
Update the CHANGELOG to more accurately reflect what will be included in
the 2.4.0 release vis-a-vis the `history` command behavior.
I noticed that the compiler was emitting some harmless warnings related
to the history changes so deal with those as well.
This adds a flag to the `history search` command to limit the number of
matching entries to the first "n". The default is unlimited. This is
mostly useful in conjunction with aliases (i.e., functions) that are
intended to report the "n" most recent matching history entries without
piping the result through the user's pager.
Fixes#3244
Update history docs.
Note - the omission of a mention of timezone was intentional. These were recorded as naive timestamps lacking timezone information in the first place.
Improves the grouping of multiline history entries
by sepearating the timestamps and history entires onto seperate lines.
Use wcsftime() Saves us a conversion, might as well.
The recent change to reconcile the history builtin command and function
broke an undocumented behavior of `history --delete`. This change
reinstates that behavior. It also adds an explicit `--exact` search mode
for the `--search` and `--delete` subcommands.
Fixes#3270
Where we already manage to cover an enum entirely in a switch
statement such that default: cannot be reached, help ensure
it stays that way by condemning that route.
Also adjust a 'const' I came across that is ignored.
