It is impossible to formulate sane ABI based on
size of ulong because it can be 32-bit or 64-bit.
Basically it means that you cannot portably use
more that 32 option chars in one call anyway...
Make it explicit.
things like xasprintf() into xfuncs.c, remove xprint_file_by_name() (it only
had one user), clean up lots of #includes... General cleanup pass. What I've
been doing for the last couple days.
And it conflicts! I've removed httpd.c from this checkin due to somebody else
touching that file. It builds for me. I have to catch a bus. (Now you know
why I'm looking forward to Mercurial.)
fix than his, and shrank the code a bit on top of that so the net size is
smaller, and added a test to the test suite for this case. Plus I cleaned up
the #includes and removed unnecessary "const"s while I was there.

Tiny whitespace cleanup while at it,
also make sure that we don't use CONFIG_ anymore.
Rob, hope this is ok w/ you..
This patch implements the 'T' command in sed. This is a GNU extension,
but one of the udev hotplug scripts uses it, so I need it in busybox
anyway.
Includes a test; 'svn add testsuite/sed/sed-branch-conditional-inverted'
after applying.
While the permissions on the temp file are correct to prevent it from being
maliciously mangled by passing strangers, (created with 600, opened O_EXCL,
etc), the permissions on the _directory_ might not be, and we re-open the
file to convert the filehandle to a FILE * (and automatically get an error
message and exit if the directory's read-only or out of space or some such).
This opens a potential race condition if somebody's using dnotify on the
directory, deletes/renames the tempfile, and drops a symlink or something
there. Somebody running sed -i as root in a world writeable directory could
do damage.
I dug up notes on an earlier discussion where we looked at the security
implications of this (unfortunately on the #uclibc channel rather than email;
I don't have a transcript, just notes-to-self) which pointed out that if the
permissions on the directory allow other people's files to be deleted/renamed
then the original file is vulnerable to sabotage anyway. However, there are
two cases that discussion apparently didn't take into account:
1) Using another user's permissions to damage files in other directories you
can't access (standard symlink attack).
2) Reading data another user couldn't otherwise access by having the new file
belong to that other user.
This patch uses fdopen to convert the filehandle into a FILE *, rather than
reopening the file.
and with multiple files SuSv3 says it should only trigger at the end of the
LAST file.
The trivial fix I tried first broke if the last file is empty. Fixing this
properly required restructuring things to create a file list (actually a
FILE * list), and then processing it all in one go. (There's probably a
smaller way to do this, merging with append_list perhaps. But let's get
the behavior correct first.)
Note that editing files in place (-i) needs the _old_ behavior, with $
triggering at the end of each file.
Here's a test of all the things this patch fixed. gnu and busybox seds produce
the same results with this patch, and different without it.
echo -n -e "1one\n1two\n1three" > ../test1
echo -n > ../test2
echo -e "3one\n3two\n3three" > ../test3
sed -n "$ p" ../test1 ../test2 ../test3
sed -n "$ p" ../test1 ../test2
sed -i -n "$ p" ../test1 ../test2 ../test3
to not put a newline at the end (which was backwards, it should have been
hardwired _to_ put a newline at the end, whether or not the input line
ended with a newline). Test case for that:
echo | sed -e '$ctest'
And then this would segfault:
echo | sed -e 'g'
Because pattern_space got freed but the dead pointer was only overwritten
in an if statement that didn't trigger if the hold space was empty. Oops.
While debugging it, I found out that the hold space is persistent between
multiple input files, so I promoted it to a global and added it to the
memory cleanup. The relevant test case (to compare with That Other Sed) is:
echo -n woo > woo
sed -e h -e g woo
echo "fish" | sed -e '/woo/h' -e "izap" -e 's/woo/thingy/' -e '/fish/g' woo -
And somebody gratuitously stuck in a c99 int8_t type for something that's just
a flag, so I grouped the darn ints.
add sed -r support.
I bumped into a couple of things that want to use extended regular expressions
in sed, and it really isn't that hard to add. Can't say I've extensively
tested it, but it's small and isn't going to break anything that doesn't use
it, so...

the _destination_ file. (Ah hah! That works _much_ better...) I
implemented the behavior, I just forgot to test this corner of it. My fault,
sorry...
No, gnu sed -i doesn't preverve ownership information. I checked.
Permissions, yes, ownership info, no.
Rob
that the _only_ change to is that gnu sed has been replaced with busybox sed.
And ncurses' install phase hangs. I trace it down, and it's trying to run
gawk. (Insert obligatory doubletake, but this is FSF code we're talking
about, so...)
It turns out gawk shells out to sed, ala "sed -f /tmp/blah file.h". The
/tmp/blah file is basically empty (it contains one character, a newline). So
basically, gawk is using sed as "cat". With gnu sed, it works like cat,
anyway.
With busybox sed, it tests if its command list is empty after parsing the
command line, and if the list is empty it takes the first file argument as a
sed command string, and if that leaves the file list empty it tries to read
the data to operate on from stdin. (Hence the hang, since nothing's coming
in on stdin...)
It _should_ be testing whether there were any instances of -f or -e, not
whether it actually got any commands. Using sed as cat may be kind of
stupid, but it's valid and gawk relies on this behavior.
Here's a patch to fix it, turning a couple of ints into chars in hopes of
saving a bit of the space this adds. Comments?
Rob
This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!
