Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 33 Release Status: release Description: Currently 'bash' looks at the EMACS environment variable when deciding whether it is running under Emacs. As described in the "Interactive Subshell" chapter of the Emacs manual http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Interactive-Shell.html this variable is obsolescent and software is supposed to use the variable INSIDE_EMACS instead. Repeat-By: Run a future version of Emacs, which does not set EMACS, and run Bash as a subshell of it. Fix: 2015-03-30 Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> * shell.c (main): Also look at INSIDE_EMACS when deciding whether to use line editing. Simplify nearby code that tests 'term', since 'term' is guaranteed to be non-null here. --- bash-4.3.33/shell.c 2015-03-30 10:42:10.871889889 -0700 +++ bash-4.3.33-fix/shell.c 2015-03-30 14:34:28.698052813 -0700 @@ -580,12 +580,13 @@ main (argc, argv, env) emacs = get_string_value ("EMACS"); /* Not sure any emacs terminal emulator sets TERM=emacs any more */ - no_line_editing |= term && (STREQ (term, "emacs")); + no_line_editing |= STREQ (term, "emacs"); no_line_editing |= emacs && emacs[0] == 't' && emacs[1] == '\0' && STREQ (term, "dumb"); + no_line_editing |= get_string_value ("INSIDE_EMACS") != 0; /* running_under_emacs == 2 for `eterm' */ - running_under_emacs = (emacs != 0) || (term && STREQN (term, "emacs", 5)); - running_under_emacs += term && STREQN (term, "eterm", 5) && emacs && strstr (emacs, "term"); + running_under_emacs = (emacs != 0) || STREQN (term, "emacs", 5); + running_under_emacs += STREQN (term, "eterm", 5) && emacs && strstr (emacs, "term"); if (running_under_emacs) gnu_error_format = 1;
