The lazy resolution mechanism made it so that the variables were linked
together, causing unexpected behaviour:
true
x=$? # expected: x=0
false
echo $x # expected: 0, actual: 1
We previously allowed globs as match pattern, but for more complex
matching needs, it's nice to have regular expressions.
And as the existing "name a part of the match" concept maps nicely to
named capture groups, we can simply reuse the same code and make groups
with names available in the match body.
A program can either respond to `--complete -- some args to complete`
directly, or add a `_complete_<program name>` invokable (i.e. shell
function, or just a plain binary in PATH) that completes the given
command and lists the completions on stdout.
Should such a completion fail or yield no results, we'll fall back to
the previous completion algorithm.
This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
And also try_create<T> => try_make_ref_counted<T>.
A global "create" was a bit much. The new name matches make<T> better,
which we've used for making single-owner objects since forever.
This commit converts naked `new`s to `AK::try_make` and `AK::try_create`
wherever possible. If the called constructor is private, this can not be
done, so we instead now use the standard-defined and compiler-agnostic
`new (nothrow)`.
Some of the code assumed that chars were always signed while that is
not the case on ARM hosts.
Also, some of the code tried to use EOF (-1) in a way similar to what
fgetc() does, however instead of storing the characters in an int
variable a char was used.
While this seemed to work it also meant that character 0xFF would be
incorrectly seen as an end-of-file.
Careful reading of fgetc() reveals that fgetc() stores character
data in an int where valid characters are in the range of 0-255 and
the EOF value is explicitly outside of that range (usually -1).
Closes#4283.
Heredocs are implemented in a way that makes them feel more like a
string (and not a weird redirection, a la bash).
There are two tunables, whether the string is dedented (`<<-` vs `<<~`)
and whether it allows interpolation (quoted key vs not).
To the familiar people, this is how Ruby handles them, and I feel is the
most elegant heredoc syntax.
Unlike the oddjob that is bash, heredocs are treated exactly as normal
strings, and can be used _anywhere_ where a string can be used.
They are *required* to appear in the same order as used after a newline
is seen when parsing the sequence that the heredoc is used in.
For instance:
```sh
echo <<-doc1 <<-doc2 | blah blah
contents for doc1
doc1
contents for doc2
doc2
```
The typical nice errors are also implemented :^)
Some nodes (such as heredocs) cannot be validated immediately, so the
entire tree will need to be revalidated if we don't allow mutating
syntax errors.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

Now a variable may have an optional slice (only _one_ slice), which can
also use negative indices to index from the end.
This works on both lists and strings.
The contents of the slice have the same semantics as brace expansions.
For example:
```sh
$ x=(1 2 3 4 5 6)
$ echo $x[1..3] # select indices 1, 2, 3
2 3 4
$ echo $x[3,4,1,0] # select indices 3, 4, 1, 0 (in that order)
4 5 2 1
$ x="Well Hello Friends!"
$ echo $x[5..9]
Hello
```
This commit adds a few basic variable substitution operations:
- length
Find the length of a string or a list
- length_across
Find the lengths of things inside a list
- remove_{suffix,prefix}
Remove a suffix or a prefix from all the passed values
- regex_replace
Replace all matches of a given regex with a given template
- split
Split the given string with the given delimiter (or to its
code points if the delimiter is empty)
- concat_lists
concatenates any given lists into one
Closes#4316 (the ancient version of this same feature)
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
This allows correct iteration over nested lists.
Also store values to variables without resolving them, to delay the
resolution step as much as possible (this helps with storing nested
lists in variables).
