zsh @5.8: wrong configure results because of implicit function declarations

Reported by: joelburton (Joel Burton) Owned by: larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.6.4
Keywords: bigsur catalina Cc: fracai, libsystem-ethan
Port: zsh

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

tart zsh without rcs (this should start a new shell):

/usr/local/bin/zsh --no-rcs

try to enter the following in the new shell (it should hang):

echo $(date)

To me it seems like all command substitution using $() causes zsh to hang. Backticks seem to work though.

(Copying report from https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions/141 ; this is about a problem with Homebrew, but I'm getting the same behavior with MacPorts0.

If you see the same problem with zsh regardless whether zsh is installed with MacPorts or Homebrew, that suggests a bug in zsh that should be reported to the developers of zsh. You could also check whether you get the same problem with /bin/zsh as provided by Apple, but even if you don't, that doesn't mean it's not a zsh bug; Apple probably modifies their zsh just as they modify all of the software they ship with macOS.

Per the fix that Homebrew committed, it was a problem with implicit function declarations: a common problem we are seeing with many, many ports under Xcode 12. Whereas Homebrew chose to downgrade the error to a warning, the correct fix is to include the right headers so that the function declarations are provided. Not doing so can spell trouble for Apple Silicon systems.

Upstream has committed a fix to the development repository, and I've tried adapting it for the distribution. Let me know if it works correctly (I'm still on Mojave!), and I'll push it.

Replying to ryandesign:

If my distribution patch works, they are free to use it if they wish.

Your patch fixed the issue for me, thank you. I'm on macOS 11.0.1 and was unable to use zsh (5.8) before applying your patch and reinstalling.
