Did you also change cmap.h, and then (as that necessitates) locore.s?

That was a workaround for a compiler bug.

What does POSIX say about echo?
As for myself, I use the `printf' command to get formatted/escaped
strings.
What, you say you have no printf command?
This one is largely compatible with the dpANS, although it relies on
the library printf to do the real work; if the library printf
misbehaves, so does this one. It does not implement the (in my opinion
ill-advised) %n formats, nor for the obvious reason the %p format, nor
does it handle %L[eEfgG] and |long double|s, but it does correctly
handle %ld and %hd formats, which our previous printf command did not.
I also replaced Fred's simple and obvious Roman numeral algorithm with
a shorter, more devious one due to Knuth. Deciphering it is left as an
exercise :-) .
Note that we added one backslash convention not in the dpANS, since
string concatenation is not available.
Incidentally, while this version of printf handles more formats, it
is shorter than the old one, and actually compiles to less code.

X.SH NAME
Xprintf \- formatted output at shell command level
X.SH SYNOPSIS
X.B printf
X.I format-string
X[
X.I arg1
X] [
X.I arg2
X] ...
X.SH DESCRIPTION
X.I Printf
Xduplicates (as far as possible) the standard C library routine of the
Xsame name, at the shell command level. It is similar to
X.IR echo ,
Xexcept that it formats its arguments according to conversion specifications
Xgiven in the
X.I format-string
Xbefore writing them to the standard output.
XFor a thorough explanation of format specifications, see
X.IR printf (3s).
X.PP
XFor the sake of perversity,
X.I printf
Ximplements one format conversion
X.B not
Xsupported by the standard printf subroutine: the
X.I %r
Xand
X.IR %R
Xconversions, which print integers as Roman numerals. The
Xfirst format produces lowercase, and the second uppercase.
X.PP
XAs a convenience, within the
X.I format-string
Xand any string or character arguments,
X.I printf
Xconverts ``backslash notation'' \- as defined in the
Xdraft proposed ANSI C Standard X3J11 \- into the
Xappropriate control characters.
XThe Standard provides for hexadecimal escapes as ``\ex1a2F3c4...'', in
Xwhich the only way to terminate the escape is with a non-hexadecimal
Xcharacter. This is not always suitable outside the C language, so
X.I printf
Xprovides one additional escape,
X.BR \e& ,
Xwhich expands to nothing, but in so doing serves to terminate a
Xhexadecimal escape.
X.SH EXAMPLES

X.na
X.ta 0.6i
X.sp 2

X.SH BUGS
XThe Roman conversions are not strictly correct.
XZero produces no text;
Xvery large values give the complaint ``abortive Roman numeral''.
XNegative Roman numerals are printed with a leading minus sign.
XIt is unclear what the Romans did in such cases,
Xalthough zero could perhaps be written as ``nihil''.
XValues in the millions were sometimes written
Xusing an M with an overbar,
Xbut there is no bar-M character in ASCII.
X.sp
XThe ``%n'' conversion is unimplementable.
XThe number of characters written is not returned.
XLong double formats are not supported.

Just how do you propose to implement the back-referencing trick in
a properly constructed (nfa and/or nfa->dfa conversion static or
on-the-fly) egrep ?? I presume that after each match of the
\(reference\) portion, you would have to on-the-fly modify the \n
portion of the fsa. Gack! Do you have a theoretically solid algorithm
[say, within the context of Aho/Sethi/Ullman's Dragon Book chapter on
regular expressions] for this ?? I would be much interested.

Doug, you've missed the point so completely it sends a shiver down my
spine.
The point is that if grep had a reasonable context-printer added
everything I suggest would simply be doable with *that*, no options
needed, while trying to build a back-end filter would probably be the
thing demanding all the special cases since significant amounts of
information have been lost once it went out the pipe.
Besides, if the context printer were powerfully enough designed
it could print STANDOUT mode with no mods, taking literal strings
to echo should be natural enough:
grep -P /\"^[[7m\"&/,/\"^[[0m\"/ pat file
(-P start,end printing context, default is ".,.+1", syntax similar to
ed) that is, & as in ed, \"..\" print (literally), the ANSI standout
mode string, then the matched string, then the ANSI end-standout mode
string.
Tho it would be hardly necessary (better to backquote the grep into an
xargs/echo), as was the criticism.
A general purpose print specifier in grep could be a handy tool.

DNA is Device Not Availible (floating point device, that is)

I think alloca() should be implementable on all architectures, even
those with a 'virtual stackpointer' (i.e. those where the compiler
knows that the stackpointer will always be fp+NNN (or the other way
around, for that matter)).
I trick I once used was to allocate the memory on the heap,
allocate two extra words, use one of them to build a linked list of
all alloca-blocks within the scope and (here comes the trick) store the
original return address in the other one, and replace the return address
by the address of a routine that will free alloca() blocks and then
really return.
The only problem is setjump/longjump, but these can probably be

In the same way that you're abusing longjmp, you mean? The fact is, there
is -->**NO**<-- portable way to accomplish what you're trying to do. None.
Coroutines simply cannot be done without some degree of cooperation from
the language or the compiler. C doesn't cooperate on the language level,
so you're stuck. Yes, you can write code that will more-or-less work, so
long as the compiler doesn't spring any surprises on you. Portable it isn't.
That being the case, the proper approach is to admit defeat, study your
compiler carefully, and write twenty lines of assembler to do things right.

No, it isn't. "grep -l" is a tool that is supposed to tell you whether one or
more *text* files contain a string; if your file doesn't happen to contain
newlines at least every N characters or so, too bad. If you want to improve
this situation by writing a "grep" that doesn't have this restriction, feel

Subject: do we need (or want) context in grep and diff?
Date: 15 Jun 88 22:33:20 GMT
To: unix-wizards at SEM.BRL.MIL
there has been quite a lot of discussion following research!andrew's
outline of gre (and his comment that v9 diff no longer has -c) on
whether grep and diff should provide context. my two cents worth follows.
context printing might not be hard with grep. it may also require grep
to do some extra work that it doesn't do right now, that is, figuring
out the previous n lines. from andrew's description of the one limit
that exists in gre (64k lines), and some knowledge of how one does
a boyer-moore style grep (find the pattern then backup to find the
beginning of the line rather than searching each line individually)
leads me to believe that getting context right, at least in the presence
of very long lines, isn't as easy as one would expect.
on context, by the way, i can't think of a simple definition. if i
am printing a context of 2 (2 lines before and after, plus the given
line), what should a context grep (assume each character is a line)
for X in the file "abcXdXefgXhi" print? "bcXdX XdXef fgXhi" or "bcXdXefgXhi"?
and should the matched line be flagged, ala diff -c? i like having this
in a separate program which could handle those questions as options.
for handling pipe, yes it does mean putting the input somewhere. is that so
awful? remember, context grep output would largely be for humans, and in this
case i don't see the harm in using /tmp (besides, if it's small, it will all
be in the buffer cache anyhow). here is a quickly hacked cgrep:
#! /bin/sh
case $# in
0|1) echo >&2 "usage: cgrep nlines pattern [file...]"; exit 2;;
esac
n="$1"
pattern="$2"
shift; shift
case $# in
0)
tee /tmp/cgrep$$ |
grep -n "$pattern" |
context "$n" /tmp/cgrep$$
rm -f /tmp/cgrep$$
;;
*)
for i
do
grep -n "$pattern" "$i" | context "$n" "$i"
done
;;
esac
ideally it would do some argument processing and pass that along to
grep or context and a default nlines. context is easy and left as an
exercise for the reader, but several more than capable ones have been
floating around over the past couple of days. anyway, this is just an
outline.
on the argument for whether or not diff should support context, first
note that the problem of input from a pipe being lost is a chimera:
all a context diff produced needs is diff output and one of the
filenames (and knowledge of whether that was the first or second file
from the diff command line).
[ that is for conventional diff. the diff i run supports input from
two pipes (by enclosing the filename in parentheses it is passed as a
command to sh -c, allowing
$ diff '(first command)' '(second command)'
works rather nicely. i've been thinking of hacking together a shell
that takes (command) as a command argument and changing it to a named
pipe or /dev/fd/n and executing the command at the other end of the
pipe. rm '(cat file)' might isn't what one really expects. i heard
that one of the research shells, maybe it was one of korn's supported
this, but never saw it in a release. and there are very few commands
which this would be useful with other than diff, although awk -f
(command) might be nice every once in a while). by the way, my diff
doesn't have -c, and i haven't really missed it. but i don't send out
patches often. ]
for those of you who are complaining about writing a /tmp file, look
at what diff does if it's input is from a pipe. if we had good vm
implementations, diff could get away with reading everything into core.
alas, we don't, and that would cause large files to make diff thrash.
my personal feeling is that it is probably not harder for any reasonable
diff to handle context, and there are enough programs that look for context
diffs that it isn't unreasonable to keep it there. patch fudge factors
sound like a good argument for keeping them around, though a diffc might
provide a good place to start for playing with new, more readable forms
of context diffc, allowing some new creatures to feep into context diffs
(standout mode or nice output for troff, side-by-side format)
on the other hand, there is very little reason that i see to put context
in grep, and a good context tool would probably make us all forget that
anyone had ever asked for it.
but then again, i'm from the school of thought that doesn't use cat -v.
[ by the way, cat -v would be useful if it gave a one to one mapping of
it's output. but, if your file contains "M-" or "^", it won't. my own
vis program is reversible (with an unvis) that is useful for editing
binary files (ever needed to change a hard coded pathname?) though, of
course, many editors handle binary files ok ]

Actually this is extremely wrong.
Given the command

grep -s Subject /usr/spool/news/comp/sources/unix/* >/dev/null
I would expect the first one to read *every* file.
The second case ( -s ) should terminate as soon as it finds the first

Unless I misunderstand the functionality of the -s command.

The LP spooling as implemented in SysV (I haven't looked on SUNod but
I think it's the same) just executes a shell script with some arguments
defined and the file to be printed as stdin. I have a system setup to
use another systems printer, and the script uucp's the data to a special

"I've yet to hear an argument here against putting the context
function into grep other than weak bleatings of parsimony."
How about "because the people writing the tool think it doesn't
belong." This strikes me as a strong argument. If you have a
contrasting vision of what a pattern matcher can be, implement it
yourself; don't go beating on a toolmaker who isn't responsible to you.
(I'll admit that some of the beating is appropriate because Andrew
asked for comments, but this lambasting of his philosophy is out of
line.)
I think the exciting part of Andrew's announcement about gre (NOT
grep!) is that the sophisticated pattern matching code will be
encapsulated into library routines. The gre utility itself will just
be a wrapper. Those of us tool builders who can make slingshots but
aren't good enough to make scalpels will be able to produce whatever we
think a pattern matching tool should be, since the hard part will be
done and packaged for us. (Of course, none of us peons outside the
Labs will ever see this, unless they export it via the Toolkit.)
I have worked in software foundries where tool-building consisted of
library routine building, not filter process building, and I found it
to be a more powerful, more easily exploited approach to the crafting
of wonderful programs. I like a locally-developed tool called
"paragrep" which searches (English text) paragraphs instead of lines.
It was written by a C novice, thanks to the re_comp/re_exec library
routines.

I would suggest the following:
int **matrix;
int i;
matrix = alloca(n * sizeof(int *));
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
matrix[i] = alloca(m * sizeof(int));
Now accessing matrix APPEARS to be normal: matrix[foo][blurf] will work,
althought the internals of the code generated will be different. Whatever
the case using a memory allocator for a multidimensional array is never
too pretty. However, in my humble opinion, I would rather get the messy
part out of the way when things are set up, and then have useages look
normal.

I suppose the ^ was considered archaic even in '74.
Our customers are phone companies and have been using our product
for over 16 years. Many of the *users* that were involved with our
product back then are still using it. Their exposure to UNIX predated
the CACM paper by a few years (see "Advanced UNIX Programming" by
Rochkind pg 156-157 for a brief glimpse of Columbus UNIX, which is
what several of AT&T's (older) internal products ran under).
The documentation for sh that was distributed way back showed ^ and |.
Before divesture of the RBOCS our customers could, at their option,
get source listings of our product for a modest printing fee.
They certainly are capable of understanding it, even code as obtuse as
sh. Also, the shell scripts that were part of the product ocassionally
used ^. The training classes might have infected them with ^.
Wherever they picked it up from, they've got and have a hard time kicking
the habit.
The ^ problem"is like the <> redirection operator. Its not documented
but it is in most versions of the Bourne shell. It means open for
read *and* write. I've seen it used only once. <> will be part of
the next ksh release.

Date: 13 Jun 88 20:09:01 GMT
To: unix-wizards at brl-sem.arpa
The discussions so far of OSF and its impact on the future of unix systems
has been entirely concerned with perceptions of the motives of the founders.
As I have a fair amount of experience working with systems from three of the
major founders of OSF, and with AT&T and Sun, I would like to comment on the
the issue from a different perspective. Based on past experience, what are
we likely to get for a product from OSF.
First, a short background. Over the past ten years, I have worked in some
depth with Unix systems from (in somewhat chronological order) DEC, Momentum,
Plexus, HP, Sun, Opus, Arete, NCR, DEC (again) and IBM. For three years I
was the (usually only) software engineer for the Swiss distributor for Sun
and Plexus.
I am now working primarily with DEC (Ultrix) and RT/PC (AIX) systems. I have
been consistently satisfied with both. Each has significant advantages, and
significant problems. I have never worked with a Unix system that didn't have
significant problems (although I've worked with a few that didn't have any
significant advantages).
If, instead of pulling wild speculation out of thin air about the possible
motives and future actions of the OSF members, you examine their past record,
I think you will find considerable cause for optimism. Ultrix, AIX and HP/UX,
in their current releases, are all good Unix implementations. More important,
they have all been improved steadily over the recent past, and all show clear
signs of continuing to be improved in the future. Interstingly, all three of
these implementations either currently have, or have announced firm dates for,
extensive SysV *and* BSD compatibility, and significant generally accepted
extensions such as NFS.
If the members of the OSF continue to supply an operating system of the
quality that they have supplied in the past, I think we will all survive
what has been forced on us by commercial circumstances that are far beyond
our control.

At least a dozen people have sent me alternate ways of doing this, the
most obvious using 'nm'. Look, I KNOW ABOUT NM! But you're missing the
point - suppose the item in the .o files was another type of string, e.g.
an error message.
The point is: There are some files. One or more may contain a string in
which I am interested. grep -l is a tool which is supposed to tell me whether
one or more files contain a string. The fact that it refuses to do so for
a class of magic files is a gratuitous violation of the unix paradigm.

Maybe (notice that I qualified this -- I do not know for a fact) this is
the key. Although wildcards are sometimes used for filename completion
(I assume this means "use the name of the FILE that matches this pattern"),
wildcards in general mean "use the NAMES of ALL the FILES that match this
pattern". Since there can only be one filename per redirection, MAYBE
Steve Bourne (or John Mashey before him, if the Mashey shell exhibited
this behavior) reasoned that conceptually wildcard expansion didn't make
sense (even though it could sometimes work if the expansion matched exactly
one filename) for redirection and INTENTIONALLY wrote the grammar this way.

We came accross this problem about a year ago and suffered with it
for a long time before finding the problem. If you have too many
mounted file systems then the core map structure has a bit field
that is no longer bit enough to store the index into the mount table.
I belive the only thing we had to change was cmap.h, which I will
provide the diff to below, but I also remember some other define
that has to be changed when you bump NMOUNT. In param.h you may need
to increase MSWAPX as well.
Hope this helps.
