Meaning empty variables, command substitutions that don't print
anything.
A switch without an argument
```fish
switch
case ...
end
```
is still a syntax error, and more than one argument is still a runtime
error.
The none-argument matches either an empty-string `case ''` or a
catch-all `case '*'`.
Fixes#5677.
Fixes#4943.
Previously when propagating explicitly separated output, we would early-out
if the buffer was empty, where empty meant contains no characters. However
it may contain one or more empty strings, in which case we should propagate
those strings.
Remove this footgun "empty" function and handle this properly.
Fixes#5987
We used to have a global notion of "is the shell interactive" but soon we
will want to have multiple independent execution threads, only some of
which may be interactive. Start tracking this data per-parser.
This makes the following changes:
1. Events in background threads are executed in those threads, instead of
being silently dropped
2. Blocked events are now per-parser instead of global
3. Events are posted in builtin_set instead of within the environment stack
The last one means that we no longer support event handlers for implicit
sets like (example) argv. Instead only the `set` builtin (and also `cd`)
post variable-change events.
Events from universal variable changes are still not fully rationalized.
This widens the remaining ones that don't take a char
anywhere.
The rest either use a char _variable_ or __FUNCTION__, which from my
reading is narrow and needs to be widened manually. I've been unable
to test it, though.
See #5900.
These were inadvertently disabled by a bug which was introduced in
cd7e8f4103 . Fix the bug so the tests run
again.
They don't all pass yet; they regressed during the period they were
disabled.
Blocks will soon need to be shared across parsers. Migrate the loop status
(like break or continue) from the block into the libdata. It turns out we
only ever need one, we don't need to track this per-block.
Make it an enum class.
This runs build_tools/style.fish, which runs clang-format on C++, fish_indent on fish and (new) black on python.
If anything is wrong with the formatting, we should fix the tools, but automated formatting is worth it.
It was unconditionally returning `parse_execution_success`. This was
causing certain parser errors to incorrectly return after evaluation
with `$status` equal to `0`, as reported after `eval`, `source`, or
sub-`fish` execution.
Prior to this change, fish used a global flag to decide if we should check
for changes to universal variables. This flag was then checked at arbitrary
locations, potentially triggering variable updates and event handlers for
those updates; this was very hard to reason about.
Switch to triggering a universal variable update at a fixed location,
after running an external command. The common case is that the variable
file has not changed, which we can identify with just a stat() call, so
this is pretty cheap.
I did not realize builtins could safely call into the parser and inject
jobs during execution. This is much cleaner than hacking around the
required shape of a plain_statement.
`eval` has always been implemented as a function, which was always a bit
of a hack that caused some issues such as triggering the creation of a
new scope. This turns `eval` into a decorator.
The scoping issues with eval prevented it from being usable to actually
implement other shell components in fish script, such as the problems
described in #4442, which should now no longer be the case.
Closes#4443.
Followup to 394623b.
Doing it in the parser meant only top-level jobs would be reaped after
being `disown`ed, as subjobs aren't directly handled by the parser.
This is also much cleaner, as now job removal is centralized in
`process_clean_after_marking()`.
Closes#5803.
This prevents the `disown` builtin from directly removing jobs out of
the jobs list to prevent sanity issues, as `disown` may be called within
the context of a subjob (e.g. in a function or block) in which case the
parent job might not yet be done with the reference to the child job.
Instead, a flag is set and the parser removes the job from the list only
after the entire execution chain has completed.
Closes#5720.
Directly access the job list without the intermediate job_iterator_t,
and remove functions that are ripe for abuse by modifying a local
enumeration of the same list instead of operating on the iterators
directly (e.g. proc.cpp iterates jobs, and mid-iteration calls
parser::job_remove(j) with the job (and not the iterator to the job),
causing an invisible invalidation of the pre-existing local iterators.
