cover Fix a few problems with the command parsers

In a few cases the behaviour of both the hush and built-in parsers seems incorrect. One such case was exposed by commit 1992dbf which attempted to execute a simple command using hush and get the correct return value. Further digging exposed the other problems.

Simon Glass (4):
Add final result tests for run_command_list()
Fix itest mask overflow
Fix hush to give the correct return code for a simple command Correct return code from builtin_run_command_list()

PATCH 1/4 Add final result tests for run_command_list()

run_command_list() is supposed to return a return code of 0 for success and 1 for failure. Add a few simple tests that confirm this. These tests work both with the built-in parser and hush.

PATCH 2/4 Fix itest mask overflow

In reply to Simon Glass

The mask value used in itest overflows and therefore it can return an incorrect result for something like 'itest 0 == 1'. Fix it.

PATCH 3/4 Fix hush to give the correct return code for a simple command

In reply to Simon Glass

When a simple command like 'false' is provided, hush should return the result of that command. However, hush only does this if the FLAG_EXIT_FROM_LOOP flag is provided. Without this flag, hush will happily execute the empty string command immediate after 'false' and then return a success code.

This behaviour does not seem very useful, and requiring the flag also seems wrong, since it means that hush will execute only the first command in a sequence.

Add a check for empty string and fall out of the loop in that case. That at least fixes the simple command case. This is a change in behaviour but it is unlikely that the old behaviour would be considered correct in any case.

PATCH 4/4 Correct return code from builtin_run_command_list()

In reply to Simon Glass

The return code is not consistent with builtin_run_command_list(). For the last command in a sequence, the return code is actually inverted.

Fix it.

Can you please rebase this on master again? I imagine it doesn't quite apply again with the splitting out in main.c series that's applied now, thanks!

Yes, I'll take a look now.
