[ast-developers] AT&T Software Technology ast alpha software download update

[Glenn Fowler]

the AT&T Software Technology ast alpha 2013-08-14 source release
has been posted to the download site
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/alpha/
the package names and md5 checksums are
INIT ab18ae3ed80758d27adc2937d1877cae
ast-ksh 7aade4e56a21b5fdbf64504cd2c5cd29
the md5 sums should match the ones listed on the download page

this alpha is limited to ast-ksh mainly to verify that recent
portability/emulation changes are working
in particular please report any problems with O_SEARCH and cd -@
these will be addressed first so we can move on to other things

we've gone through a couple of rounds of this because we want
gnarly patches to be consolidated in one part of the code
and in that process dgk+gsf have had a few disconnects with the patches
basically we would really like to have the bulk of ast #ifdef's
in the libast and a few other libs and leave the commands/plugins
fairly clean

changes since 2013-08-07

:::::::: ksh93 ::::::::

13-08-12 --- Release ksh93v- ---

on the left hand side of assignments make by typeset has been fixed.
13-08-11 +namespace was modified so that namespace names can be a compound
variable rather than just an identifier and namespace are no
longer nested.

Doesn't work for math expressions:

13-08-07 typeset -p (and print -v) now display the sort attribute for
typeset -sF and typeset -sE.

Which sort attribute? You mean 'short' as in short integer or 'short
double' alias C99 float, right? :)

cd -@ is now working again and even returns the correct error messages
in case of failures:

ksh -c 'mkdir tmpx; cd -@ tmp; print $?; ls -l'
0
total 2
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 116 Aug 15 12:01 SUNWattr_ro

ksh -c 'cd -@ tmpx; print $?'

1

Thank you for fixing it

Irek

[Glenn Fowler]

I get this to work after changing "tmp" => "tmpx" -- must be a typo

but fiddling with your test uncovered an errno leak

ksh -c 'mkdir tmpx; cd -@ tmpx; ls -l; cd ..; rmdir tmpx; cd -@ tmpx'

produces

ksh: cd: tmpx: [Bad file number]

this is a problem in the ksh cd O_XATTR logic -- just fixed

str=$( ) is seriously broken if there are more than a few megabytes
put into str. I'm still trying to debug the issue. Something cuts the
data off in the middle.

The patch seems to fix half the problems. The types can now be defined
but a variable declared with such a type can't find it's type
functions:
-- snip --
$ ksh -o nounset -c 'namespace a.b.c { typeset -T x_t=( integer i=5 )
; function pi { printf "i=%d\n" $((_.i+_.i)) ; } ; } ; .a.b.c.x_t var

AFAIK this should print "10" ...

Arithmetic expressions still don't work in namespaces:
ksh -c 'namespace a1.a2 { integer n=2 ; print $((i+i)) ; }'
0

It should print '4'.

Try this patch and see if it fixed the types problem in namespaces.

The patch seems to fix half the problems. The types can now be defined
but a variable declared with such a type can't find it's type
-- snip --
$ ksh -o nounset -c 'namespace a.b.c { typeset -T x_t=( integer i=5 )
; function pi { printf "i=%d\n" $((_.i+_.i)) ; } ; } ; .a.b.c.x_t var
; var.pi'
/bin/ksh: var.pi: not found
-- snip --
AFAIK this should print "10" ...

-- snip --
$ ksh -o nounset -c 'namespace a.b.c { typeset -T x_t=( integer i=5 ;
function pi { printf "i=%d\n" $((_.i+_.i)) ; } ) ; } ; .a.b.c.x_t var
; var.pi'
i=10

ksh -c 'namespace a1.a2 { integer n=2 ; print $((i+i)) ; }'
0
It should print '4'.

Copying .sh.sig data in a namespace doesn't work either:
namespace a.b
{
compound c
compound -a c.car
integer c.cari=0

trap 'c.car[$((c.cari++))]=.sh.sig' USR1 USR2 RTMIN

kill -q4 -s USR1 $$
kill -q17 -s USR2 $$

print -v c
}

This prints:

ksh x.sh
x.sh: line 9: .sh.sig.value.ptr: is read only
x.sh: line 10: .sh.sig.value.ptr: is read only
(
typeset -C -a car=(
[0]=(
typeset -C value
)
[1]=(
typeset -C value
)
)
typeset -l -i cari=2
)

This is dead wrong. It should print the copied siginfo (.sh.sig) data.

namespace a.b

prints

which is dead wrong, too.

Using .sh.match in namespace a.b { } however works.

It should print '4'.

That's IMO the biggest limitation of the new namespace system. Its
getting hard to use them in any practical application if arithmetics
with variables don't work.

Bye,
Roland

This example looks wrong. typeset -T x_t=( integer i=5 ) is
a complete type definition and pi is not part of the type


I assume you meant the following which does print 10.

$ ksh -o nounset -c 'namespace a.b.c { typeset -T x_t=( integer i=5
; function pi { printf "i=%d\n" $((_.i+_.i)) ; } ; }) ; .a.b.c.x_t var
; var.pi'
