[gentoo-soc] libbash - Progress report #9

[André Aparício]

Hi,

=== Progress of previous week ===

- Fix array declarations with one element

- Support string operations on arrays.
Like ${array[@]/foo/bar}

- Escape more characters in strings that were used in some eclass

Since last year it there seems to have been some changes in the
eclasses that impacted libbash, since the number of metadata files
correctly parsed initially this year were much less than previously, but
now they are again closer to that.

13255 out of 31020 metadata files are correct.

=== Plan for this week ===

- Support operators in variables in the builtin tests.
[ ${test} ${operator} ${value} ]

- Support multiline string declarations for local and declare.

- Fix a strange error in the parser when we have a string substitution
  after a variable attribution.
foo=bar echo ${VAR/a/b}.

Hey André,

Just a quick question about libbash (haven't done much STFW though). Has
it already covered all the syntax for POSIX shell?

Yours,
Benda

Hi,

Don't know for sure, we are implementing features as we see they are
needed to parse ebuils and eclasses, so I would say probably not, for
instance, some built-in commands only have implemented the options used
in all the ebuild/eclasses.
