From e8756d5d780b95fafca0709131f2fa90b1eff6bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cormac Shannon <> Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 23:19:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Implement programmable prompt (issue #09) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replace static _PROMPT/_PROMPT2 with dynamic __prompt(exitcode)/__prompt2(exitcode) functions. Fallback chain: __prompt() → _PROMPT → "> ". Install a default __prompt that shows the current directory with ~ abbreviation. Track last exit code from the REPL loop and pass it to the prompt function. --- issues/09-prompt.md | 3 +- lua.c | 47 ++++++++++++++- testes/lush/prompt.lua | 134 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 179 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) create mode 100644 testes/lush/prompt.lua diff --git a/issues/09-prompt.md b/issues/09-prompt.md index e58f358d..59c84492 100644 --- a/issues/09-prompt.md +++ b/issues/09-prompt.md @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@ # 09 — Programmable prompt -**Status:** open -**Blocked by:** #08 +**Status:** done Users should be able to customize the shell prompt by defining a Lua function, similar to how other shells use `PS1`/`PROMPT_COMMAND`/`precmd`. diff --git a/lua.c b/lua.c index 4c5dc246..f89010c8 100644 --- a/lua.c +++ b/lua.c @@ -541,19 +541,38 @@ static void lua_initreadline (lua_State *L) { #endif /* } */ +static int last_exit_code = 0; /* tracks exit code for __prompt() */ + + /* ** Return the string to be used as a prompt by the interpreter.
