The dash maintainer recently posted a fix for issues with expanding
PS1. These had already been fixed differently in BusyBox ash. Borrow
a couple of improvements:
- Use a single call to setjmp() to trap errors in both readtoken1()
and expandarg().
- In case of error set the prompt to the literal value of PS1 rather
than the half-digested nonsense in stackblock() which might include
ugly control characters.

Commit d1a2fa2a4 (ash: catch error in arithmetic expansion in PS1)
catches all exceptions raised by expandarg(). Some exceptions, such as
the EXEXIT raised when command expansion is used, are expected:
export PS1='$(echo "$ ")'
These should be processed normally or the shell hangs at the prompt.

Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

Assignments / exports / unsets of variables are far more frequent than
prompt printing, and if we show prompt, we are likely to be limited by
user typing speed - do not optimize for that scenario.
Just re-query $PS1 / $PS2 values when need to show the prompt.

Setting PS1 to:
PS1='`xxx(`'
causes the shell to terminate with the error:
sh: syntax error: unexpected end of file (expecting ")")
This happens because old-style backquotes require the input to be reread
and thus call setinputstring() a second time. Prevent the problem by
unwinding all recently opened files in expandstr().

The following constructs result in ever-increasing memory usage:

while true; do ( true; ) </dev/null; done
For comparison, bash displays static memory usage in both cases.
This has been fixed in dash by commit 2bc6caa. The maintainer

I have simplified evaltree so that it simply sets the stack mark
unconditionally. This allows us to remove the stack marks in the

Embedded scripts require a shell to be present in the BusyBox
binary. Allow either ash or hush to be used for this purpose.
If both are enabled ash takes precedence.
The size of the binary is unchanged in the default configuration:
both ash and hush are present but support for embedded scripts
isn't compiled into hush.
