remove ( simple_command & ) optimisation (re: e3d7bf1)
I didn't trust this back in e3d7bf1 (which disabled it for interactive shells) and I trust it less now. In af6a32d/6b380572, this was also disabled for virtual subshells as it caused program flow corruption there. Now, on macOS 10.14.6, a crash occurs when repeatedly running a command with this optimisation: $ ksh -c 'for((i=0;i<100;i++));do print -n "$i ";(sleep 1&);done' 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Illegal instruction Oddly enough it seems that I can only reproduce this crash on macOS -- not on Linux, OpenBSD, or Solaris. It could be a macOS bug, particularly given the odd message in the stack trace below. I've had enough, though. Out it comes. Things now work fine, the reproducer is fixed on macOS, and it didn't optimise much anyway. The double-fork issue discussed in e3d7bf1 remains. ________ For future reference, here's an lldb debugger session with a stack trace. It crashes on calling calloc() (via sh_calloc(), via sh_newof()) in jobsave_create(). This is not an invalid pointer problem as we're allocating new memory, so it does look like an OS bug. The "BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBPLATFORM" message is interesting. $ lldb -- arch/*/bin/ksh -c 'for((i=0;i<100;i++));do print -n "$i ";(sleep 1&);done' (lldb) target create "arch/darwin.i386-64/bin/ksh" Current executable set to 'arch/darwin.i386-64/bin/ksh' (x86_64).
