Improve PRIVILEGED fixes

2020-02-14T22:06:57Z

- Fix retval handling in bin_setopt() - Don't skip_setuid / skip_setgid. It's not our place to optimize away noops (that might not even _be_ noops; they might change the saved uid…). - Remove HAVE_* guard checks around functions that are used unguarded elsewhere. - Use bsd-setres_id.c from OpenSSH to provide setresuid() / setresgid() everywhere, and thus simplify the ifdef soup. Fix some preëxisting bugs in the macro definitions of setuid() (do we still need that one?). - Fix zwarning() format codes for variadic arguments type safety - Restored a comment from HEAD - Fix failure modes around initgroups() - Compared privilege restoration code with OpenSSH's permanently_drop_uid() and updated as needed - Add E01 PRIVILEGED sanity checks

45231: _rsync: When completing remote modules, ignore more of the motd.

2020-01-06T02:28:54Z

We cannot use the --no-motd option because it inhibits the modules listing. We cannot look for a blank line because there will not be a blank line if the "motd file" does not end with a newline. Looking for tabs is an improvement. Any tabs in the motd will still cause extraneous matches, but there's nothing we can do about that. While here, show the modules in the order listed.

45111: zshmisc(1): Clarify the documentation of 'return' and 'exit' in conjunction with try/always

2019-12-22T03:21:09Z

Having reviewed 20076, 20084, 21734, and 21735, my understanding is that the original intention was: - A 'return' in a function does run always-list - An 'exit' outside a function does not run always-list - A 'return' outside a function is treated as an 'exit' All of which are the case today. The remaining case, of 'exit' used inside a function, was not specified by the referenced -workers@ posts; does, as implemented, run the always-list; and furthermore, based in 21734 it's fair to assume that the original documentation was assuming that 'exit' would be used outside of any function, just like it assumed 'return' would be used inside a function. Therefore, have the documentation specify only the behaviour of 'exit' outside any function, and leave the behaviour of 'exit' inside a function unspecified. Anyone who relied on the documentation of 'exit' as documented until this commit would have run into the documentation/implementation discrepancy described in 45075.

45112: zshmodules: Explicitly document the return values of the 'zstyle' getters -s, -b, and -a.

2019-12-22T03:21:07Z

45113: vcs_info docs: Clarify documentation of the %p/%u/%a patch-format expandos.

2019-12-22T03:21:04Z

45114: vcs_info quilt: Improve support for svn-style patch headers.

2019-12-22T03:21:03Z

Additional lines between the |-separated header line and the actual log message, as generated by 'svn log -v' and 'svn log -g', are now supported. This change affects you if you have quilt patches with 'svn log'-style information in their headers, regardless of whether you use quilt standalone, quilt over svn, or quilt over some other VCS.

45115: vcs_info examples: Make the quilt-patch-dir example friendlier.

2019-12-22T03:21:01Z

- Document that no code at all is necessary for Pareto correctness - Remove a recommendation to rely on implementation details (${rrn}); instead, rely only on ${context}, which is a documented API.

45116: vcs_info examples: Add an example of showing Git environment variables.

45107: ztst.vim: Highlight some more special variables

45064: Fix the mktemp() warning, in debug builds only.

2019-12-18T06:01:47Z

On Linux, linking to mktemp() generates the following warning: . utils.o: In function `gettempname': ./Src/utils.c:2229: warning: the use of `mktemp' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' or `mkdtemp' The warning cannot be disabled. Work around that by using mkstemp() instead, and massage its output so it behaves like mktemp(). See the new comment for further details.
