This is not possible. We only have eval (run) as of today. I view adding functions as one of the most important usability improvements we can make.
Again: this is not an issue with hush as is, but only with our resource-limited port of a nearly 20 year old version of it.
Updating to a current version would fix this, in an almost 100% backward compatible way.
Agree on this. There is another email about the LIL and how is right now maintained and if the solutions that we have already in place can be just updated, I don't find any valid reason to change it but update seems more straightforward.
Would you be interested in taking this on? It has been talked about for some years...
To repeat myself, someone posting the patches to update (or more likely, replace as a new Kconfig option and I'd be fine with a "pick old or new" as a starting point) is the main gating factor on using a new version of hush.
