@@ -380,3 +380,18 @@ Changes since rc-1.5b2 Configuration: if you say `--with-readline' or `--with-editline' it is now an error if the appropriate library is not found. + + Bug: rc didn't work on RedHat 5 systems. This is because of + peculiarities in the handling of signals and system calls on this + system (the C library attempts to fake restartable system calls). + The fix I have put in place involves testing at configure time for + sigaction() and SA_INTERRUPT: if both exist, we set up sys_signal() + to be an "always interrupt" wrapper around sigaction(). (If we don't + have sigaction(), we use signal() and check for restartable system + calls as usual.) I'm not entirely confident that this fix is solid. + + Portability: on AIX, lconv is defined by the system header files. Rename + lconv in print.c to avoid the clash. + + Testing: add a test that `cd' prints the new directory if we are interactive and + the directory was found via $cdpath. |
