Make everything exec-bit.txt lists executable All these files used to be executable in the release tarballs. Apparently things also work without that in the repository, but I'd rather add this possibly unecessary change to blead instead of breaking the upcoming release. This should probably be looked into again afterwards.
Move DynaLoader.o into libperl.so. This avoids the need to statically link DynaLoader into the stub perl executable and make libperl.so provide all the code needed to get a functional embedded perl interpreter up running. As a side effect this also moves DynaLoader into libperl.a for non-useshrplib builds. Fixes [perl #32539] p4raw-id: //depot/perl@27549
more complete support for implicit thread/interpreter pointer, enabled via -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT (all changes are noops without that enabled): - USE_THREADS now enables PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT, so dTHR is a noop; tests pass on Solaris; should be faster now! - MULTIPLICITY has been tested with and without PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT on Solaris - improved function database now merged with embed.pl - everything except the varargs functions have foo(a,b,c) macros to provide compatibility - varargs functions default to compatibility variants that get the context pointer using dTHX - there should be almost no source compatibility issues as a result of all this - dl_foo.xs changes other than dl_dlopen.xs untested - still needs documentation, fixups for win32 etc Next step: migrate most non-mutex variables from perlvars.h to intrpvar.h p4raw-id: //depot/perl@3524
