Thanks.
I actually contacted Herbert back in summer. He told me, that he will
take a look. But obviusly (including BTS's bugs) he have no time for
dash.
I did rewrite of `test` built-in. Now i have 50% size deduction, but
this is without "-o", "-a" things, that POSIX already dismissed. I
just tried to address `!' and `(' as first parameters problem. This is
also a very-very old problems of all shells, as far as i can see in
historic records. Managed to do a rewrite :)
I'll finish by adding "-a" and "-o" by recurcive handling later.
Since i'm adding Herbert to Cc, i waht to ask about following.
Permission checks currently done by stat() plus some kind of uid/gid
checks from bash.
I propose to use euidaccess(), because it have all credentials checks
in the kernel (including SELinux, capabilities, file systems, etc.)
I just saw BR in bash, but then the same copy/paste stuff in `test`.
In case if it is not exising in Hurd or BSD, then access() can be
used, because `dash` is not SUID anyway.
Opinions?
