Other shells also support a number of other options with exec and
some have special behaviour when calling exec with no arguments except
redirections.
This PR only supports the basic case of replacing the Shell process
(or LibShell host process) with the provided command.
Such errors are raised when SyntaxError nodes are executed, and are also
used for internal control flow.
The 'break' and 'continue' commands are currently only allowed inside
for loops, and outside function bodies.
This also adds a 'loop' keyword for infinite loops.
This builtin takes a bunch of strings, resolves them as globs (in the
current directory) and prints out the matching entries.
Its main use is to allow dynamic glob resolution:
```sh
glob "$whatever/*"
```
As Vector<T> will relocate objects to resize, we cannot assume that the
address of a specific LocalFrame will stay constant, or that the
reference will not be dangling to begin with.
Fixes an assertion that fires when a frame push causes the Vector to
reallocate.
This allows us to easily re-use history loading and saving in other
programs using Line::Editor, as well as implementing universally
recognized HISTCONTROL.
This really just works around the core issue, which is that we have no
reliable way to know exactly who raised the signal (yet).
Fixes#3645, in a very weird (yet apparently standard) way.
This patchset makes it possible for the shell to format the current
buffer of the line editor live, with somewhat accurate cursor tracking.
Since this feature is pretty goofy at best, let's keep it off by default
for now :^)
Instead of everyone overriding save_to() and set_property() and doing
a pretty asymmetric job of implementing the various properties, let's
add a bit of structure here.
Object properties are now represented by a Core::Property. Properties
are registered with a getter and setter (optional) in constructors.
I've added some convenience macros for creating and registering
properties, but this does still feel a bit bulky. We'll have to
iterate on this and see where it goes.
This patchset makes the shell capable of lazily resolving and executing
sequences of commands, to allow for putting logical sequences in the
background.
In particular, it enables And/Or/Sequence nodes to be run in the background,
and consequently unmarks them as `would_execute`.
Doing so also fixes job control to an extent, as jobs are now capable of
having 'tails', so sequences can be put in the background while
preserving their following sequences.
Closes#2760.
This commit adds a 'for' loop, and tweaks the syntax slightly to make &&
bind more tightly than || (allowing for `expr && if_ok || if_bad`) :^)
This commit fixes job control by putting children in their own process
group, and proxying TTY signals to active jobs.
This also cleans up the code around builtin_disown a bit to use
the newer job interfaces.
Take one small step towards #2357.
Handle completing barewords starting with '-' by piping the requests to
the Shell::complete_option(program_name, option) :^)
Also implements completion for a single builtin (setopt) until we figure out how
to handle #2357.
This builtin sets (and unsets) boolean flags that alter the behaviour of
the shell.
The only flags added are
- inline_exec_keep_empty_segments: Keep empty segments in the result of
splitting $(...) by $IFS
- verbose: Announce each command before executing it
It should be noted that the (rather extreme) verbosity of the names is
intentional, and will hopefully be alleviated by the next commit :^)
This commit also removes the ExecutionInputType and directly uses
RefPtr<Shell> instead, since nothing else is needed for execution
purposes, and also makes the shell refuse to evaluate commands with
any sort of syntax error.
This commit also completely reworks the execution, highlighting and
completion model to work with the new AST.
New additions:
- $(...) stdout captures
- fd>&fd redirections
- fd>&- redirections (close fd)
- read-write redirections (<> path)
- completely event-based execution
- the weird idea of allowing the user to redirect the shell's own fds
- variables in strings
- local variables
- minimal list support
- adding hyperlinks to all paths that exist
