really?

The __GLIBC__ macro and __UCLIBC__ macro are defined in

Hiroshi found another bug.  Currently sed's $ triggers at end of every 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.

ended with a newline).  Test case for that:

echo | sed -e '$ctest'

And then this would segfault:

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:

That is, one runs command like

'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build

One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than

The current behaviour (wrong according to standards) was actually my
fault. msh handles backticks by executing a subshell (which makes it
work on MMU-less systems). Executing a subshell makes it hard to only
expand variables once in the parent. Therefore I export all variables
that will be expanded within the backticks and let the subshell handle
the expansion instead.

The bug was found while searching for security leaks in CGI-scripts.
Current behaviour of msh makes it easy to expand backticks by mistake
in $QUERY_STRING. I recommend appling the patch before release of bb
1.00.

Hi Erik,
Hi to all,
This is part five of the my_get*id story.
I've tweaked a bit this two functions to make them more flexible,
but this changes will not affect existing code.
Now they work so:
1) my_getpwuid( char *user, uid_t uid, int bufsize)

   if bufsize is > 0 char *user cannot be set to NULL
                     on success username is written on static allocated buffer
                     on failure uid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
   if bufsize is = 0 char *user can be set to NULL
                     on success username is returned
                     on failure NULL is returned
   if bufsize is < 0 char *user can be set to NULL
                     on success username is returned
                     on failure an error message is printed and the program exits

  2) 1) my_getgrgid( char *group, uid_t uid, int bufsize)

   if bufsize is > 0 char *group cannot be set to NULL
                     on success groupname is written on static allocated buffer
                     on failure gid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
   if bufsize is = 0 char *group can be set to NULL
                     on success groupname is returned
                     on failure NULL is returned
   if bufsize is < 0 char *group can be set to nULL
                     on success groupname is returned
                     on failure an error message is printed and the program exits

This changes were needed mainly for my new id applet.
It is somewhat bigger then the previous but matches the behaviour of GNU id
and is capable to handle usernames of whatever length.
BTW: at a first look it seems to me that it will integrate well (with just a few changes)
with the pending patch  in patches/id_groups_alias.patch.
The increase in size is balanced by the removal of my_getpwnamegid.c
from libbb as this was used only in previous id applet and by size optimizations
made possible in whoami.c and in passwd.c.
I know that we are in feature freeze but I think that i've tested it enough
(at least I hope so.......).
