Release Candidate 2 for my C shell is out. This is a real release candidate, code is frozen and hopefully this one does not have serious bugs like RC1. As you may know, RC1 has been retired because of a bug causing a segmentation fault when launching short commands in background. Let’s see why this happened. The following schema summarizes what happens when a program in background is launched:

As you see, there is a non-synchronous function that is called when the child exits, the SIGCHLD handler.
What if the background command is very short, like ls? It may happen that SIGCHLD is thrown before the job object creation. Bdsh RC1 did not manage this case, and crashed. RC2 fixes this and does not have relevant bugs according to my definition of 1.0.0 release.

Finally, go and grab the code!

Do you think my projects are useful? Has one of my projects helped you at the University? Do you like to learn something from my experience? Are you happy to be able to download every source code?
Then, why don’t you consider a small donation? Donations are useful to maintain my domains and the infrastructures that host my Projects. I’m just a student, I’m not interested to earn profits from my projects, that will always remain free. But I would be delighted to don’t pay for them
