For some reason, we have two places where a variable can be read-only:
- By key in env.cpp:is_read_only(), which is checked via set*
- By flag on the actual env_var_t, which is checked e.g. in
parse_execution
The latter didn't happen for non-electric variables like hostname,
because they used the default constructor, because they were
constructed via operator[] (or some such C++-iness).
This caused for-loops to crash on an assert if they used a
non-electric read-only var like $hostname or $SHLVL.
Instead, we explicitly set the flag.
We might want to remove one of the two read-only checks, or something?
Fixes#5548.
This requires threading environment_t through many places, such as completions
and history. We introduce null_environment_t for when the environment isn't
important.
@ridiculousfish had introduced this in 3a45cad12e
to work around an issue with Coverity Scan where it couldn't tell the
mutex was correctly locked, but even with the `fish_mutex_t` hack, it
still emits the same warnings, so there's no pointing in keeping it.
Cleaned up the code to no longer replicate in fishscript what fish
already does (and caches to boot) in C++ in setting up the paths to the
user configuration directory.
Also introduced a `$__fish_user_data_dir` instead of the sporadic
definitions of `$userdatadir` that may or may not go through
`XDG_DATA_HOME`.
* Debug level 3: describe all commands being executed (this is, after all,
a shell and one can argue that this is the most important debug
information avaliable)
* Debug level 4: details of execution, mainly fork vs no-fork and io
handling
Also introduced j->preview() to print a short descriptor of the job
based on the head of the first process so we don't overwhelm with
needless repitition, but also so that we don't have to rely on
distinguishing between repeated, non-unique/non-monotonic job ids that
are often recycled within a single "execution cycle" (pressing enter
once).
In private mode, access to previous history is blocked and new history
does not persist and is only available for the duration of the current
session.
This mode can be used when it is not desirable for commandline history
to leak into a session, e.g. via autocomplete or when it is desirable to
test the behavior of fish in the absence of history items without
permanently clearing the history.
I'm sure there are a lot more features that can be incorporated into
private mode, such as restricting access to certain user-specific
configuration files, etc.
This addresses a lot of the concerns raised in #1363 (which was later
changed to track mosh-specific problems). See also #102.
This switches quoted expansion like "$foo" to use foo's delimiter instead of
space. The delimiter is space for normal variables and colonf or path variables.
Expansions like "$PATH" will now expand using ':'.
This commit begins to bake in a notion of path-style variables.
Prior to this fix, fish would export arrays as ASCII record separator
delimited, except for a whitelist (PATH, CDPATH, MANPATH). This is
surprising and awkward for other programs to deal with, and there's no way
to get similar behavior for other variables like GOPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
This commit does the following:
1. Exports all arrays as colon delimited strings, instead of RS.
2. Introduces a notion of "path variable." A path variable will be
"colon-delimited" which means it gets colon-separated in quoted expansion,
and automatically splits on colons. In this commit we only do the exporting
part.
Colons are not escaped in exporting; this is deliberate to support uses
like
`set -x PYTHONPATH "/foo:/bar"`
which ought to work (and already do, we don't want to make a compat break
here).
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
Prior to this change, env_get_pwd_slash() would try to infer the PWD from
getcwd() if $PWD were missing. But this results env_get_pwd_slash() doing
something radically different than $PWD, and also is a lot of code for a
scenario that cannot be reliably reproduced. Just return "/" in this case.
There's been no reproducible case entered for #5080, but the stack trace
indicates the problem is with env_get_pwd_slash() returning an empty
string, which isn't a string that terminates in `/`.
In addition to making the failure case to return the path `./` (which
has the benefit of having the same meaning as $PWD), trying a little bit
harder to retrieve the real PWD by using getcwd(3). While
get_current_dir(3) is documented as relying on PWD, getcwd(3) does not
mention any such caveats, so it's possible that it will work even if
something is breaking PWD.
Just a thought, but it's possible if due to some recursion PWD surpassed
some predetermined value (maybe PATH_MAX) that PWD (on certain platforms
or under certain enivronments) won't be set (hence the code that deals
with ERANGE errors from the getcwd(3) call).
Closes#5080.
