28757baa | 1182 | Version 5.003_20 |
1183 | ---------------- | |
1184 | ||
1185 | The only language change in this release is the recension of support | |
1186 | for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be | |
1187 | a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition, | |
1188 | there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named | |
1189 | functions as closures. | |
1190 | ||
1191 | And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation | |
1192 | updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!" | |

8ebc5c01 | 1350 | Version 5.003_19 |
1351 | ---------------- | |
1352 | ||
1353 | Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory | |
1354 | leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The | |
1355 | method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test | |
1356 | directory, "t/pragma". | |
1357 | ||
1358 | IMHO, this is Beta quality code. | |

2949 | ---------------- | |
c8bc418f | 2950 | Version 5.003_07 |
2951 | ---------------- | |
2952 | ||
2953 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed | |
2954 | in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious | |
2955 | testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004. | |
2956 | ||
2957 | If it doesn't work for you, try | |
2958 | ||
2959 | LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL | |
2960 | ||
2961 | for Bourne shell users, or | |
2962 | ||
2963 | setenv LC_ALL C | |
2964 | ||
2965 | for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have | |
2966 | problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests | |
2967 | as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step. | |
2968 | ||
2969 | The details are described below. A very brief summary is: | |
2970 | ||
2971 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality | |
2972 | ||
2973 | -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for | |
2974 | documentation on the 'w' option. | |
2975 | ||
2976 | -untaint support added to IO extension. | |
2977 | ||
2978 | o Changes in Core Internals | |
2979 | ||
2980 | -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC), | |
2981 | as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility | |
2982 | with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.) | |
2983 | ||
2984 | -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4. | |
2985 | ||
2986 | o Configure and build enhancements | |
2987 | ||
2988 | -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but | |
2989 | they may be right. | |
2990 | ||
2991 | -OS/2 and Plan9 updates. | |
2992 | ||
2993 | o Bug fixes | |
2994 | ||
2995 | -print sort (4,1,3,2); | |

3013 | Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc. | |
3014 | Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test | |
3015 | program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of | |
3016 | Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the | |
3017 | effect is little. | |

3019 | Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests. | |

3031 | Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version | |
3032 | ||
3033 | This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in | |
3034 | IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object | |
3035 | that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from | |
3036 | said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid. | |
3037 | ||
3038 | This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the | |
3039 | pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and | |
3040 | adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST. | |
3041 | ||
3042 | Add mention of t/lib/io_taint.t | |

3421 | This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread | |
3422 | about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around | |
3423 | the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on | |
3424 | p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that | |
3425 | the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called: | |
3426 | ||
3427 | Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above | |
3428 | code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306. | |

3435 | File mode under OS/2 is not what you expect. However, this has | |
3436 | nothing to do with databases, _and_ there is a test | |
3437 | for this in stat.t (which dutifully fails). There is | |
3438 | no point to consider this behaviour as a bug in | |

3501 | Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version | |
3502 | ||
3503 | This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in | |
3504 | IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object | |
3505 | that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from | |
3506 | said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid. | |
3507 | ||
3508 | This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the | |
3509 | pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and | |
3510 | adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST. | |

3600 | ---------------- | |
f5cdf9d7 | 3601 | Version 5.003_06 |
3602 | ---------------- | |
3603 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation, | |
3604 | and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003. | |
3605 | The details are described below. A very brief summary is: | |
3606 | ||
3607 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality | |
3608 | ||
3609 | -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for | |
3610 | locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod. | |
c8bc418f | 3611 | Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi. |
f5cdf9d7 | 3612 | |
3613 | -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be | |
3614 | backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex. | |
3615 | ||
3616 | -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size | |
3617 | %hash. | |
3618 | ||
3619 | -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted. | |
3620 | ||
3621 | o Changes in Core Internals | |
3622 | ||
3623 | -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03 | |
3624 | versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented | |
3625 | as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and | |
3626 | gv_efullname3. | |
3627 | ||
3628 | -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC), | |
3629 | as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility | |
3630 | with 5.003. | |
3631 | ||
3632 | o Configure and build enhancements | |
3633 | ||
3634 | -many new tests for the standard library. | |
3635 | ||
3636 | -test suite now locale-friendly. | |
3637 | ||
3638 | -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods. | |
3639 | ||
3640 | o Bug fixes | |
3641 | ||
3642 | -whitespace lexer errors fixed. | |
3643 | ||
3644 | -many, many other things. See details below. | |
3645 | ||
3646 | o Specific Changes | |
3647 | ||
3648 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. | |

3673 | This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05. | |
3674 | This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06. | |
3675 | ||
3676 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, | |
3677 | cd to your perl source directory and then type | |
3678 | ||
3679 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat | |
3680 | ||
3681 | The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is | |
3682 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as | |
3683 | ||
3684 | csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}' | |
3685 | ||
3686 | (Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your | |
3687 | csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100 | |
3688 | files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.) | |
3689 | ||
3690 | Patch and enjoy, | |

4025 | I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used | |
4026 | to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over). | |
4027 | I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is | |
4028 | needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical | |
4029 | hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags. | |
4030 | ||
4031 | Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem. | |

4270 | The File::Find perl module assumes that the $_ variable remains unchanged | |
4271 | through the user defined function which is callbacked from find. It carries | |
4272 | out a stat operation | |
4273 | ||
4274 | Simplest fix is merely to document this | |

4649 | Subject: Full LONG_MAX & co. patch over 5.003_05 | |
4650 | ||
4651 | This patch contains the changes I've collected for the various _MAX issues | |
4652 | since 5.003_05. No patches issued between 5.003_05 and this one should be | |
4653 | applied, use this one instead. | |
4654 | ||
4655 | The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are | |
4656 | ambiguous) and to explicitly cast all of the constants. | |

4660 | Subject: Re: pre extending hash? - need speed | |
4661 | ||
4662 | The patch below (which is relative to perl5.001l) implements | |
4663 | "keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for | |
4664 | pre-sizing hashes. I've only moved the patch forward from | |
4665 | when I first did it. I'm sure the code in hv_ksplit could be | |
4666 | improved. | |
4667 | ||
4668 | Revert from Perl_malloc to Mymalloc for binary compatibility with | |
4669 | 5.003. | |

5113 | 5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules. | |
5114 | ||
5115 | Bugs found in pod2man | |
5116 | ||
5117 | The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed: | |
5118 | ||
5119 | 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not | |
5120 | treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been | |
5121 | rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked | |
5122 | around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand, | |
5123 | remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs | |
5124 | can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod, | |
5125 | without breaking links.] | |
5126 | ||
5127 | 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part | |
5128 | of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the | |
5129 | \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source | |
5130 | having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.] | |
5131 | ||
5132 | 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass | |
5133 | by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'. | |
5134 | ||
5135 | 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff | |
5136 | from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction. | |
5137 | ||
5138 | 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this | |
5139 | confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins | |
5140 | with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead | |
5141 | of basic functions."'. | |
5142 | ||
5143 | Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod | |
5144 | modules, when ready, will not have these defects. | |

5208 | ||
5209 | The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that | |
5210 | has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a | |
5211 | re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be | |
5212 | considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of | |
5213 | its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method, | |
5214 | then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness. | |

5219 | First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a | |

5308 | Subject: Re: "Attempt to free non-existent shared string"? (with patch) | |
5309 | ||
5310 | I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used | |
5311 | to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over). | |
5312 | I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is | |
5313 | needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical | |
5314 | hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags. | |
5315 | ||
5316 | Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem. | |
5317 | The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private | |

5727 | ||
5728 | This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles | |
5729 | on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given | |
5730 | file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on. | |
5731 | There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag | |
5732 | before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same | |
5733 | reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on | |
5734 | on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA | |
5735 | pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so | |
5736 | this should not introduce any insecurity. | |
5737 | ||
5738 | This patch *does not*: | |
5739 | ||
5740 | * Add the "untaint" keyword. | |

5779 | The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from | |
5780 | finding #define statements and filling the constant() function. This patch | |
5781 | fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are | |
5782 | modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program. | |
5783 | ||
5784 | This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now). | |
5785 | I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order. | |
5786 | ||
5787 | h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying | |
5788 | xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which | |
5789 | can also be found in my directory on CPAN. | |

5853 | ---------------- | |
bde20468 | 5854 | Version 5.003_05 |
5855 | ---------------- | |
5856 | ||
5857 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of | |
5858 | the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below. | |
5859 | A very brief summary is: | |
5860 | ||
5861 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality | |
5862 | ||
5863 | -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 5864 | |
bde20468 | 5865 | -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather |
5866 | than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some | |
5867 | systems, but should be correct now. | |
5868 | ||
5869 | -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected) | |
5870 | Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select | |
5871 | order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still | |
5872 | the same. | |
5873 | ||
5874 | o Configure and build enhancements | |
5875 | ||
5876 | -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have | |
5877 | BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use | |
5878 | [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 5879 | |
bde20468 | 5880 | -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through |
5881 | the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate | |
5882 | ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently | |
5883 | supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier | |
5884 | for embedders.) | |
5885 | ||
5886 | -VMS updates. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 5887 | |
bde20468 | 5888 | -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only |
5889 | prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.) | |
5890 | ||
5891 | o Bug fixes | |
5892 | ||
5893 | -debugger ought to work. | |
5894 | ||
5895 | -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented | |
5896 | 5.003_04 from working most places. | |
5897 | ||
5898 | -numerous smaller ones, detailed below. | |
5899 | ||
5900 | o Specific Changes | |
5901 | ||
5902 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. | |
5903 | ||
5904 | # This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04 | |
5905 | # The full description is below. | |
5906 | # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch. | |
5907 | # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.) | |
5908 | # Andy Dougherty <doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu> | |
5909 | ||
5910 | # We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it | |
5911 | # executable. | |
5912 | touch t/io/read.t | |
5913 | chmod +x t/io/read.t | |
5914 | ||
5915 | exit 0 | |
5916 | ||
5917 | ||
5918 | This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04. | |
5919 | This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05. | |
5920 | ||
5921 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, | |
5922 | cd to your perl source directory and then type | |
5923 | ||
5924 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat | |
5925 | ||
5926 | The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is | |
5927 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as | |
5928 | ||
5929 | csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}' | |
5930 | ||
5931 | Patch and enjoy, | |

5937 | Index: Changes | |
5938 | ||
5939 | Updated for 5.003_05. | |
5940 | ||
5941 | Index: Configure | |
5942 | ||
5943 | Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs. | |
5944 | ||
5945 | Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10. | |
5946 | ||
5947 | Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well | |
5948 | as older 'domain' directive. | |
5949 | ||
5950 | Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have | |
5951 | BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use | |
5952 | [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible. | |
5953 | ||
5954 | Include -s in the -h summary of available options. | |
5955 | ||
5956 | Allow command-line override of $afs. | |
5957 | ||
5958 | Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10. | |
5959 | ||
5960 | Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to | |
5961 | be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.) | |
5962 | ||
5963 | When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding | |
5964 | correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct | |
5965 | -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its | |
5966 | -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are | |
5967 | welcome. | |

6113 | ||
6114 | Subject: debugger problems--another patch (was Re: 5.003_04) | |
6115 | ||
6116 | I have tried to avoid copying of hash keys that are passed to | |
6117 | magical hashes, but it seems that copying may be unavoidable | |
6118 | since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other | |
6119 | SVs that may get reused) as keys. | |

6147 | Index: lib/AnyDBM_File.pm | |
6148 | ||
6149 | AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected) | |
6150 | Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select | |
6151 | order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still | |
6152 | the same. | |
6153 | ||
6154 | ||
6155 | Add helpful "die" message to end of AnyDBM_File. Previously | |
6156 | it would return a 0, and the failure would eventually show up | |
6157 | somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is | |
6158 | a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression | |
6159 | suite is supposed to indicate this as a failure too. | |

6193 | ||
6194 | From: Michael Mahan <mahanm@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu> | |
6195 | Subject: Cwd::fastcwd in File::Find | |
6196 | ||
6197 | Is there a good reason why File::Find uses Cwd::fastcwd instead of | |
6198 | Cwd:cwd when fastcwd isn't as portable? | |
6199 | [In particular, fastcwd() doesn't work on AFS.] | |
6200 | ||
6201 | Index: lib/Math/Complex.pm | |
6202 | ||
6203 | There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that | |
6204 | gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the | |
6205 | argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too | |
6206 | many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that | |
6207 | calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2 | |
6208 | in this case. | |
6209 | ||
6210 | Index: lib/open3.pl | |
6211 | ||
6212 | The I/O directions on the dad_wtr and kid_rdr were backwards. | |

6219 | Subject: syslog.pl `use Socket' lossage | |
6220 | ||
6221 | syslog.pl tries but fails to use | |
6222 | Socket.pm, the problem is that use doesn't return a true value. This | |
6223 | module should be recast in terms of Sys::Syslog, of course. | |
6224 | ||
6225 | Index: makedepend.SH | |
6226 | ||
6227 | This patch eliminates "\|" in sed patterns in makedepend.SH, since | |
6228 | they're not really needed anyway in this one case. | |
6229 | ||
6230 | Index: mg.c | |
6231 | ||
6232 | Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem. | |
6233 | I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually | |
6234 | uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys | |
6235 | to the vtbl_dbline handlers). | |
6236 | ||
6237 | Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with | |
6238 | the simple MgPVKEY macro. | |
6239 | ||
6240 | Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add | |
6241 | additional parens around the "mg". | |
6242 | ||
6243 | (lines near 584) Part of VMS changes. I don't know what this did. | |

6247 | Subject: Integerize mg.c; eliminate warning on C< local($)) > | |
6248 | ||
6249 | This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers | |
6250 | (C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from | |
6251 | C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!. | |

6448 | With my setup, the alarm signal arrives *before* the child | |

6503 | Changes: | |
6504 | a) Docs and examples for -x updated; | |
6505 | b) Path to xxxx.h would not be changed to /usr/include/xxxx.h | |
6506 | unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error | |
6507 | there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I | |
6508 | inside -F. | |
6509 | c) .h file would be scanned only if needed. | |
6510 | d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ). | |
6511 | e) Documentation (=list) for autogenerated guys would be | |
6512 | included into POD. | |
6513 | f) duplicated XSUBs would not be generated; | |
6514 | g) arguments to XSUBs being arrays are recognized (note that | |
6515 | xsubpp would probably choke on such guys). | |

395b538b | 6570 | Version 5.003_04 |
6571 | ---------------- | |
6572 | ||
6573 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of | |
6574 | the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below. | |
6575 | A very brief summary is: | |
6576 | ||
6577 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality | |
6578 | ||
6579 | -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and | |
6580 | IO::File::new. | |
6581 | -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now | |
6582 | it's in the same category as `` and system(). | |
6583 | ||
6584 | o Configure and build enhancements | |
f5cdf9d7 | 6585 | |
395b538b | 6586 | -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases. |
6587 | -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default. | |
6588 | Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is | |
6589 | probably what was intended. | |
6590 | -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates. | |
6591 | ||
6592 | o Bug fixes | |
6593 | ||
6594 | -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed. | |
6595 | -Ilya's debugger patch. | |
6596 | -FAKE typeglobs fixed. | |
6597 | -truncate with file name now works. | |
6598 | -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs | |
6599 | -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes. | |
6600 | -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__. | |
6601 | ||
6602 | o Specific Changes | |
6603 | ||
6604 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. | |

6747 | Subject: Patch for LONG_MAX & co. | |
6748 | ||
6749 | Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this | |
6750 | should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the | |
6751 | previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX | |
6752 | symbols the complete set of | |
6753 | /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to | |
6754 | those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard | |
6755 | Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN, | |
6756 | and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are | |
6757 | changed appropriately. | |
6758 | ||
6759 | The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad | |
6760 | limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all | |
6761 | works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on. | |

6822 | ||
6823 | Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs | |
6824 | in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't | |
6825 | so in 5.001n). | |
6826 | The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname() | |
6827 | which might coerce its first arg to a string. | |
6828 | ||
6829 | Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key | |
6830 | weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared | |
6831 | hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a | |
6832 | significant problem.) | |

6888 | ||
6889 | Sorry about adding yet another #ifdef forest, but hopefully this | |
6890 | should resolve the *_MAX issues permanently. It adds to the | |
6891 | previously defined PERL_LONG_MAX, PERL_LONG_MIN, and PERL_ULONG_MAX | |
6892 | symbols the complete set of | |
6893 | /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to | |
6894 | those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard | |
6895 | Perl typedef, like I32 or UV, you can reference I32_MAX or UV_MIN, | |
6896 | and get appropriate figures. All references to LONG_(MIN|MAX) are | |
6897 | changed appropriately. | |
6898 | ||
6899 | The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad | |
6900 | limits if quads are in use, but longs aren't 64 bit. Hopefully this all | |
6901 | works, but I don't have any handy Crays to try it out on. | |

6908 | perlio.c because it conflicts with the correct declaration in | |
6909 | MachTen's stdio.h (and possibly other stdio's as well). | |
6910 | ||
6911 | Secondly, the code in perlio.c is not handling the (!PERLIO_IS_STDIO & | |
6912 | HAS_F[GS]ETPOS) case. The patch fixes this omission (in a rather lumpen | |
6913 | manner). I don't think this should affect platforms which try to hack a | |
6914 | different path through the #ifdef forest, but this assertion would benefit | |
6915 | from testing... | |

7010 | Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY | |
7011 | ||
7012 | When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY". | |
7013 | Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks | |
7014 | destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive | |
7015 | arenas any more. | |
7016 | ||
7017 | This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative | |
7018 | method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify. | |
7019 | It has no effect on normal operation. | |

7104 | ||
7105 | Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation | |
7106 | process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief | |
7107 | summary is: | |
7108 | ||
7109 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality | |
7110 | ||
7111 | -Support for tied filehandles. | |
7112 | ||
7113 | o Configure enhancements | |
7114 | ||
7115 | -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented | |
7116 | and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms. | |
7117 | ||
7118 | o Bug fixes | |
7119 | ||
7120 | -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes. | |
7121 | ||
7122 | -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns | |
7123 | that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps. | |
7124 | ||
7125 | -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes. | |
7126 | ||
7127 | -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time | |
7128 | rather than extraction time. | |

7249 | Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful | |
7250 | error messages. | |
7251 | ||
7252 | Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test. | |
7253 | ||
7254 | Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy() | |
7255 | tests. Note whether memmove is available. | |
7256 | ||
7257 | Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5 | |
7258 | with -Xc). | |
7259 | ||
7260 | Include appropriate header files for randbits test. | |
7261 | ||
7262 | Index: INSTALL | |
7263 | ||
7264 | Add note about space requirements. | |
7265 | ||
7266 | Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe, | |
7267 | useperlio, useshrplib, etc.) | |
7268 | ||
7269 | Reorganize the structure of some of the hints. | |
7270 | ||
7271 | Miscellaneous clarifications. | |
7272 | ||
7273 | Index: MANIFEST | |
7274 | ||
7275 | Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly | |
7276 | due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out; | |
7277 | I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST. | |
7278 | ||
7279 | Index: Makefile.SH | |
7280 | ||
7281 | Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism. | |
7282 | ||
7283 | Use new $make_set_make directive. | |
7284 | ||
7285 | Remove redundant libperl Make variable. | |
7286 | ||
7287 | Remove unnecessary MAB variable. | |
7288 | ||
7289 | Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could | |
7290 | well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing | |
7291 | miniperl in the first place! | |
7292 | ||
7293 | Index: Porting/Glossary | |
7294 | ||
7295 | New file describing all the config.sh variables. | |

7304 | ||

7308 | ||
7309 | Index: config_h.SH | |
7310 | ||
7311 | Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH. | |
7312 | Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new | |
7313 | dependencies in the metaconfig units. | |
7314 | ||
7315 | Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB, | |
7316 | SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the | |
7317 | ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality | |
7318 | is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now. | |
7319 | ||
7320 | Index: doio.c | |

7370 | match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use | |
7371 | Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void. | |
7372 | This is necessary so . . . | |
7373 | ||
7374 | Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's | |

7423 | ||
7424 | Index: hints/next_4.sh | |

7428 | ||
7429 | Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures. | |
7430 | ||
7431 | Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will | |
7432 | cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove | |
7433 | the -arch stuff from cppflags.) | |
7434 | ||

7719 | Version 5.003_02 |
7720 | ---------------- | |
7721 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality | |
7722 | - Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 7723 | - Fixes for ++/-- of values close to max/min size of an integer |
7724 | - Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}. | |
7725 | - UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method. | |
760ac839 LW |
7726 | |
7727 | o Changes in Core Internals | |
7728 | - PerlIO abstraction added. | |
7729 | Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO | |
7730 | mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 7731 | Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or |
760ac839 | 7732 | to use sfio if available. |
f5cdf9d7 | 7733 | |
760ac839 LW |
7734 | - Several bug fixs from perl5-porters |
7735 | - Make sources non-ANSI C correct again. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 7736 | - SUPER in gv.c |
760ac839 LW |
7737 | - Last of shared-hash-key patches |
7738 | - eval '(0,1..3)'; # --> SegFault | |
7739 | - coredumps after simple subsitutes. | |
7740 | - Correction to UNIVERSAL::VERSION docs. | |
7741 | - Fixed io_udp test. | |
7742 | - Fixed another abuse of malloc'ed memory. | |
7743 | - Enabled DEBUGING_MSTATS whenever perl's malloc() is used. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 7744 | - Reverted to default of not hiding perl's malloc (if used). |
760ac839 LW |
7745 | |
7746 | o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities | |
7747 | - Fixed MakeMaker for static SDBM and builing in a link tree. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 7748 | - Upgraded to IO-1.09, and includes latest (still experimental) IO::Select. |
760ac839 | 7749 | - Documentation/test tweak to DB_File |
f5cdf9d7 | 7750 | - h2xs upgrade to allow use C::Scan module |
760ac839 LW |
7751 | |
7752 | o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support | |
7753 | - Attempted to re-created 5.003_01's NeXT support with metaconfig units. | |
f5cdf9d7 | 7754 | - Updated MANIFEST |
7755 | - make minitest now depends on lib/Config.pm, as some of tests require it. | |
760ac839 LW |
7756 | - Included latest plan9 sub-directory |
7757 | - Applied OS/2 patches. | |
7758 | - Typo patch for VMS. | |
e4a57b87 | 7759 | |
7760 | ---------------- | |
7761 | Version 5.003_01 | |
7762 | ---------------- | |
7763 | ||
7764 | Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since | |
7765 | version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately | |
7766 | kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core, | |
7767 | library files, and documentation, this patch contains several | |
7768 | significant revisions, summarized below: | |
7769 | ||
7770 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality | |
7771 | ||
7772 | - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into | |
7773 | the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core | |
7774 | and several common extensions are working. | |
7775 | ||
7776 | - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to | |
7777 | the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every | |
7778 | class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object. | |
7779 | ||
7780 | - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical | |
7781 | variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical | |
7782 | variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable | |
7783 | inaccessible by its name. | |
7784 | ||
7785 | - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow | |
7786 | checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator | |
7787 | can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself. | |
7788 | ||
7789 | - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which | |
7790 | produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references | |
7791 | exist to the internal object implementing the tie. | |
7792 | ||
7793 | - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying | |
7794 | an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left | |
7795 | side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as | |
7796 | well as an alphabetic character. | |
7797 | ||
7798 | - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the | |
7799 | -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v | |
7800 | output concise. | |
7801 | ||
7802 | o Changes in Core Internals | |
7803 | ||
7804 | - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster. | |
7805 | ||
7806 | - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now | |
7807 | optimized at compile time into inline constants. | |
7808 | ||
7809 | - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to | |
7810 | conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and | |
7811 | to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified | |
7812 | representations. | |
7813 | ||
7814 | - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another | |
7815 | stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to | |
7816 | present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal | |
7817 | program results. | |
7818 | ||
7819 | - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely, | |
7820 | in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed. | |
7821 | ||
7822 | - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative | |
7823 | array has been made safer. | |
7824 | ||
7825 | - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions | |
7826 | with system C header files or libraries on some platforms. | |
7827 | Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under | |
7828 | previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl | |
7829 | 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C | |
7830 | namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries, | |
7831 | so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004. | |
7832 | After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility | |
7833 | between versions. | |
7834 | ||
7835 | - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's | |
7836 | optional private memory management routines. This strategy, | |
7837 | which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to | |
7838 | conserve memory in programs which allocate many small | |
7839 | chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often | |
7840 | the case in Perl programs. | |
7841 | ||
7842 | - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of | |
7843 | multiple interpreters have been fixed. | |
7844 | ||
7845 | o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities | |
7846 | ||
7847 | - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's | |
7848 | access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard | |
7849 | distribution. This extends the work begun in the original | |
7850 | Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still | |
7851 | available. | |
7852 | ||
7853 | - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object- | |
7854 | oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the | |
7855 | standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis | |
7856 | for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will | |
7857 | subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default | |
7858 | class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle, | |
7859 | rather than FileHandle. | |
7860 | ||
7861 | - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set | |
7862 | of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other | |
7863 | applications, has been added to the standard distribution. | |
7864 | ||
7865 | - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface | |
7866 | for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions, | |
7867 | has been added to the standard distribution. | |
7868 | ||
7869 | - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path | |
7870 | to the currently executing program, has been added to the | |
7871 | standard distribution. | |
7872 | ||
7873 | - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness, | |
7874 | Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules | |
7875 | have been updated to the authors' latest versions. | |
7876 | ||
7877 | - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when | |
7878 | determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages. | |
7879 | ||
7880 | - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated. | |
7881 | ||
7882 | - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information | |
7883 | provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved, | |
7884 | making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf) | |
7885 | to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls. | |
7886 | ||
7887 | - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution | |
7888 | can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set. | |
7889 | ||
7890 | - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated. | |
7891 | ||
7892 | o Changes in Documentation | |
7893 | ||
7894 | - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod | |
7895 | documentation for the core and standard library files | |
7896 | ||
7897 | - Explanations of several core operators have been improved | |
7898 | ||
7899 | - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents | |
7900 | extensively revised. | |
7901 | ||
7902 | o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support | |
7903 | ||
7904 | - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through | |
7905 | NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs. | |
7906 | ||
7907 | - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes | |
7908 | options for building a.out binaries. | |
7909 | ||
7910 | - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved | |
7911 | processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of | |
7912 | carriage control interpretation for record-structured files, | |
7913 | improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of | |
7914 | VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance | |
7915 | in line-oriented reading of files. | |
7916 | ||
7917 | - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated), | |
7918 | convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated), | |
7919 | irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new), | |
7920 | next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated), | |
7921 | sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated). | |
7922 | ||
7923 | - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set | |
7924 | of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation | |
7925 | they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system). |
