| 3743 | ------------------ |
| 3744 | Version 5.003_20 |
| 3745 | ------------------ |
| 3746 | |
| 3747 | The only language change in this release is the recension of support |
| 3748 | for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be |
| 3749 | a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition, |
| 3750 | there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named |
| 3751 | functions as closures. |
| 3752 | |
| 3753 | And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation |
| 3754 | updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!" |

| 3911 | ------------------ |
| 3912 | Version 5.003_19 |
| 3913 | ------------------ |
| 3914 | |
| 3915 | Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory |
| 3916 | leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The |
| 3917 | method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test |
| 3918 | directory, "t/pragma". |
| 3919 | |
| 3920 | IMHO, this is Beta quality code. |

| 4333 | As soon as I posted 5.003_14, I found a fatal error in it. :-( |
| 4334 | |
| 4335 | This release is strictly a bug fix -- it removes some function caching |
| 4336 | changes that were supposed to be improvements, but weren't. |

| 5382 | (Finally defines semantics of "my" in control expressions, |
| 5383 | like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope |
| 5384 | of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control |
| 5385 | structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which |

| 5511 | ------------------ |
| 5512 | Version 5.003_07 |
| 5513 | ------------------ |
| 5514 | |
| 5515 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs or include little things I missed |
| 5516 | in 5.003_06. 5.003_07 is intended to be stable enough to merit serious |
| 5517 | testing with an eye towards eventual release as 5.004. |
| 5518 | |
| 5519 | If it doesn't work for you, try |
| 5520 | |
| 5521 | LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL |
| 5522 | |
| 5523 | for Bourne shell users, or |
| 5524 | |
| 5525 | setenv LC_ALL C |
| 5526 | |
| 5527 | for C-shell users. Some versions of IRIX are reported to have |
| 5528 | problems with sort when the locale is other than C. This manifests |
| 5529 | as an infinite loop in the ./miniperl configpm step. |
| 5530 | |
| 5531 | The details are described below. A very brief summary is: |
| 5532 | |
| 5533 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 5534 | |
| 5535 | -Support for BER compressed integers. See perlfunc.pod for |
| 5536 | documentation on the 'w' option. |
| 5537 | |
| 5538 | -untaint support added to IO extension. |
| 5539 | |
| 5540 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 5541 | |
| 5542 | -Perl's realloc is once again called 'Myremalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC), |
| 5543 | as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility |
| 5544 | with 5.003. (5.003_06 erroneously called it Myrealloc.) |
| 5545 | |
| 5546 | -Getopt::Long updated to version 2.4. |
| 5547 | |
| 5548 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 5549 | |
| 5550 | -improved SCO hints. Actually these are unconfirmed guesses, but |
| 5551 | they may be right. |
| 5552 | |
| 5553 | -OS/2 and Plan9 updates. |
| 5554 | |
| 5555 | o Bug fixes |
| 5556 | |
| 5557 | -print sort (4,1,3,2); |
| 5558 | |
| 5559 | -group numbers are integers again. |
| 5560 | |
| 5561 | -other things. See the specific changes for details. |
| 5562 | |
| 5563 | o Specific Changes |

| 5565 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |

| 5567 | Index: Changes |
| 5568 | |
| 5569 | Updated for 5.003_07. |

| 5573 | Index: Configure |
| 5574 | |
| 5575 | Detect GNU libc (thanks, Skimo!) and avoid nm if we have GNU libc. |
| 5576 | Since the GNU libc test requires compiling and linking a test |
| 5577 | program, the dependencies have been altered and lots of pieces of |
| 5578 | Configure have moved around unchanged. The patch is big but the |
| 5579 | effect is little. |
| 5580 | |
| 5581 | Allow for both <sys/select.h> and <time.h> in fd_set tests. |
| 5582 | Systems which don't allow both (e.g. SCO) have to turn off one |
| 5583 | or the other in the hints file for now. |

| 5593 | Subject: PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version |
| 5594 | |
| 5595 | This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in |
| 5596 | IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object |
| 5597 | that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from |
| 5598 | said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid. |
| 5599 | |
| 5600 | This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the |
| 5601 | pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and |
| 5602 | adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST. |
| 5603 | |

| 5616 | All the executable targets are moved into the same chunk with |
| 5617 | shared library target, which is delegated to |
| 5618 | $osname/Makefile.SHs if found. |
| 5619 | config.h should depend on config_h.SH. |

| 5982 | |
| 5983 | This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread |
| 5984 | about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around |
| 5985 | the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on |
| 5986 | p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that |
| 5987 | the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called: |
| 5988 | |
| 5989 | Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above |
| 5990 | code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306. |

| 6064 | |
| 6065 | This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in |
| 6066 | IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object |
| 6067 | that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from |
| 6068 | said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid. |
| 6069 | |
| 6070 | This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the |
| 6071 | pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and |
| 6072 | adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST. |

| 6162 | ------------------ |
| 6163 | Version 5.003_06 |
| 6164 | ------------------ |
| 6165 | |
| 6166 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs, improve the documentation, |
| 6167 | and work towards restoring binary compatibility with 5.003. |
| 6168 | The details are described below. A very brief summary is: |
| 6169 | |
| 6170 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 6171 | |
| 6172 | -Significantly improved support _with documentation_ for |
| 6173 | locales, including LC_COLLATE. See the new pod/perli18n.pod. |
| 6174 | Thanks to Jarkko Hietaniemi. |
| 6175 | |
| 6176 | -new version of Math::Complex, with test suite. Ought to be |
| 6177 | backwards compatible, but check it out if you use Math::Complex. |
| 6178 | |
| 6179 | -Pre-extending hashes now works. keys %hash = 5000 will pre-size |
| 6180 | %hash. |
| 6181 | |
| 6182 | -__DATA__ filehandle is untainted. |
| 6183 | |
| 6184 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 6185 | |
| 6186 | -gv_fullname and gv_efullname have reverted to their pre-5.003_03 |
| 6187 | versions for binary compatibility. Actually, they are implemented |
| 6188 | as stubs pointing to the new 3-argument forms gv_fullname3 and |
| 6189 | gv_efullname3. |
| 6190 | |
| 6191 | -Perl's malloc is once again called 'Mymalloc' (with -DHIDEMYMALLOC), |
| 6192 | as it was pre-5.003_01. Again, this is for binary compatibility |
| 6193 | with 5.003. |
| 6194 | |
| 6195 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 6196 | |
| 6197 | -many new tests for the standard library. |
| 6198 | |
| 6199 | -test suite now locale-friendly. |
| 6200 | |
| 6201 | -a2p.man and s2p.man now made into pods. |
| 6202 | |
| 6203 | o Bug fixes |
| 6204 | |
| 6205 | -whitespace lexer errors fixed. |
| 6206 | |
| 6207 | -many, many other things. See details below. |
| 6208 | |
| 6209 | o Specific Changes |
| 6210 | |
| 6211 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |

| 6236 | This is patch perl5.003_06.pat to perl version 5.003_05. |
| 6237 | This takes you from 5.003_05 to 5.003_06. |
| 6238 | |
| 6239 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 6240 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 6241 | |
| 6242 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_06.pat |
| 6243 | |
| 6244 | The changes are described after each /^Index:/ line below. This is |
| 6245 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as |
| 6246 | |
| 6247 | csplit -k perl5.003_06.pat '/^Index:/' '{999}' |
| 6248 | |
| 6249 | (Of course, since there are more than 100 Index entries, your |
| 6250 | csplit may complain, since many csplit's have an arbitrary limit of 100 |
| 6251 | files. Still, you can manually split the file or roll your own.) |

| 7671 | |
| 7672 | Bugs found in pod2man |
| 7673 | |
| 7674 | The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed: |
| 7675 | |
| 7676 | 1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not |
| 7677 | treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been |
| 7678 | rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked |
| 7679 | around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand, |
| 7680 | remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs |
| 7681 | can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod, |
| 7682 | without breaking links.] |
| 7683 | |
| 7684 | 2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part |
| 7685 | of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the |
| 7686 | \f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source |
| 7687 | having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.] |
| 7688 | |
| 7689 | 3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass |
| 7690 | by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'. |
| 7691 | |
| 7692 | 4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff |
| 7693 | from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction. |
| 7694 | |
| 7695 | 5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this |
| 7696 | confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins |
| 7697 | with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead |
| 7698 | of basic functions."'. |
| 7699 | |
| 7700 | Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod |
| 7701 | modules, when ready, will not have these defects. |

| 7725 | This patch adds a IOf_UNTAINT flag in sv.h, as one of the possibles |
| 7726 | on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given |
| 7727 | file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on. |
| 7728 | There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag |
| 7729 | before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same |
| 7730 | reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on |
| 7731 | on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA |
| 7732 | pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so |
| 7733 | this should not introduce any insecurity. |

| 7764 | Subject: Patch to patch for untainting |
| 7765 | |
| 7766 | The following patch ensures that a glob used as a filehandle that |
| 7767 | has had the UNTAINT flag set will not carry that flag over on a |
| 7768 | re-open. In a nutshell, a re-open of the DATA filehandle would be |
| 7769 | considered untainted, and an object of class IO::Handle (or one of |
| 7770 | its sub-classes) that is marked untainted with the untaint method, |
| 7771 | then closed and re-opened, retained the untaintedness. |

| 7775 | |
| 7776 | First, with IO::untaint, the patches as posted resulted in a |
| 7777 | miniperl which couldn't open files, so the autosplitting of the |
| 7778 | library and the creation of Makefiles for the extensions didn't |
| 7779 | work. Worse, it didn't just fail to open files, it dumped core. |

| 7850 | on an xpvio->xio_flags struct member. It is used to mark the given |
| 7851 | file handle as a clean source, even when tainting is turned on. |
| 7852 | There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag |
| 7853 | before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same |
| 7854 | reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on |
| 7855 | on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA |
| 7856 | pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so |
| 7857 | this should not introduce any insecurity. |
| 7858 | |
| 7859 | This patch *does not*: |
| 7860 | |
| 7861 | * Add the "untaint" keyword. |

| 7866 | |
| 7867 | I found a subtle problem with the lazydelete mechanism (which is used |
| 7868 | to postpone the delete of a entry that may be getting iterated over). |
| 7869 | I was using the HeKLEN slot to hold the hint, but the real HeKLEN is |
| 7870 | needed later to call unsharepvn(). This means that only magical |
| 7871 | hash entries can use the HeKLEN slot to hold flags. |
| 7872 | |
| 7873 | Here's a tested patch against 5.00305 that fixes the problem. |
| 7874 | The patch simply moves the LAZYDEL hint to become a SV-level private |
| 7875 | flag. |

| 8288 | There are also patches to pp_sys.c in pp_sysread to check this flag |
| 8289 | before tainting data, and in pp_hot.c in do_readline for the same |
| 8290 | reason. Lastly, it patches toke.c to automatically set this flag on |
| 8291 | on a __DATA__ filehandle. The creation of the $pack::DATA |
| 8292 | pseudo-filehandle is already checked against running under eval, so |
| 8293 | this should not introduce any insecurity. |
| 8294 | |
| 8295 | This patch *does not*: |
| 8296 | |
| 8297 | * Add the "untaint" keyword. |

| 8334 | Subject: h2xs bug fix |
| 8335 | |
| 8336 | The h2xs that is in perl5.003_05 has a regexp bug which prevents it from |
| 8337 | finding #define statements and filling the constant() function. This patch |
| 8338 | fixes that. The h2xs_test program found this--maybe people who are |
| 8339 | modifying h2xs should get a copy of the test program. |
| 8340 | |
| 8341 | This also adds a -d to enable debugging messages (there's just one for now). |
| 8342 | I've also placed some of the doc-related things in alphabetical order. |
| 8343 | |
| 8344 | h2xs_test can be found in my directory on CPAN. Those of you modifying |
| 8345 | xsubpp should know there's a test suite for that, too, called XSTEST which |
| 8346 | can also be found in my directory on CPAN. |

| 8411 | ------------------ |
| 8412 | Version 5.003_05 |
| 8413 | ------------------ |
| 8414 | |
| 8415 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of |
| 8416 | the remaining issues from in 5.003_04. The details are described below. |
| 8417 | A very brief summary is: |
| 8418 | |
| 8419 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 8420 | |
| 8421 | -Add support for a READLINE method to tied filehandles. |
| 8422 | |
| 8423 | -times function now uses CLK_TCK if HZ is not available, rather |
| 8424 | than just defaulting to 60. times output might change on some |
| 8425 | systems, but should be correct now. |
| 8426 | |
| 8427 | -AnyDBM_File (modifying ISA does not work as expected) |
| 8428 | Now behaves as documented: Modifying ISA works to select |
| 8429 | order in which *DB* modules are tried. The default is still |
| 8430 | the same. |
| 8431 | |
| 8432 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 8433 | |
| 8434 | -Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have |
| 8435 | BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use |
| 8436 | [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible. |
| 8437 | |
| 8438 | -You can now build a shared libperl.so without running through |
| 8439 | the LD_RUN_PATH hoops, if your system supports appropriate |
| 8440 | ld command-line options. Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux are currently |
| 8441 | supported. Others are easy to add. (This makes like a lot easier |
| 8442 | for embedders.) |
| 8443 | |
| 8444 | -VMS updates. |
| 8445 | |
| 8446 | -Fix installperl and installman so that the -n option really only |
| 8447 | prints commands. (previously, it would still do the mkdirs.) |
| 8448 | |
| 8449 | o Bug fixes |
| 8450 | |
| 8451 | -debugger ought to work. |
| 8452 | |
| 8453 | -A new heredoc tag in Makefile.SH is now quoted. This prevented |
| 8454 | 5.003_04 from working most places. |
| 8455 | |
| 8456 | -numerous smaller ones, detailed below. |
| 8457 | |
| 8458 | o Specific Changes |
| 8459 | |
| 8460 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |
| 8461 | |
| 8462 | # This is my patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl5.003_04 |
| 8463 | # The full description is below. |
| 8464 | # Please execute the following commands before applying this patch. |
| 8465 | # (You can feed this patch to 'sh' to do so.) |
| 8466 | # -- Andy Dougherty |
| 8467 | |
| 8468 | # We'll create a new test, but patch won't automatically make it |
| 8469 | # executable. |
| 8470 | touch t/io/read.t |
| 8471 | chmod +x t/io/read.t |
| 8472 | |
| 8473 | exit 0 |
| 8474 | |
| 8475 | |
| 8476 | This is patch perl5.003_05.pat to perl version 5.003_04. |
| 8477 | This takes you from 5.003_04 to 5.003_05. |
| 8478 | |
| 8479 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 8480 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 8481 | |
| 8482 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_05.pat |
| 8483 | |
| 8484 | The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is |
| 8485 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as |
| 8486 | |
| 8487 | csplit -k perl5.003_05.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}' |
| 8488 | |
| 8489 | Index: Changes |
| 8490 | |
| 8491 | Updated for 5.003_05. |
| 8492 | |
| 8493 | Index: Configure |
| 8494 | |
| 8495 | Allow command line or hint-file overrides of $afs. |
| 8496 | |
| 8497 | Allow trailing spaces in nm output for HPUX10. |
| 8498 | |
| 8499 | Check for newer BIND 'search' directives in /etc/resolv.conf as well |
| 8500 | as older 'domain' directive. |
| 8501 | |
| 8502 | Enhance detection of [gs]etpgrp() variants. Some systems have |
| 8503 | BSD-style behavior for one and POSIX for the other. Use |
| 8504 | [gs]etpgid() instead, whenever possible. |
| 8505 | |
| 8506 | Include -s in the -h summary of available options. |
| 8507 | |
| 8508 | Allow command-line override of $afs. |
| 8509 | |
| 8510 | Handle trailing spaces in nm-output on HPUX10. |
| 8511 | |
| 8512 | Set shrpenv for handling LD_RUN_PATH, if needed. (This used to |
| 8513 | be in Makefile.SH. Now it's available for other modules too.) |
| 8514 | |
| 8515 | When using shared libperl, avoid LD_RUN_PATH if possible by adding |
| 8516 | correct ld flags. Currently, Solaris and NetBSD get the correct |
| 8517 | -R $archlibexp/CORE, and Linux gets its |
| 8518 | -Wl,-rpath,$archlibexp/CORE flag. Other contributions are |
| 8519 | welcome. |

| 8670 | since the hv_*_ent() functions could be PADTMPs (and other |
| 8671 | SVs that may get reused) as keys. |

| 8709 | somewhere else in the script and be hard to track down. It is |
| 8710 | a failure if perl can't open AnyDBM_File. The test regression |
| 8711 | suite is supposed to indicate this as a failure too. |

| 8747 | Subject: Cwd::fastcwd in File::Find |
| 8748 | |
| 8749 | Is there a good reason why File::Find uses Cwd::fastcwd instead of |
| 8750 | Cwd:cwd when fastcwd isn't as portable? |
| 8751 | [In particular, fastcwd() doesn't work on AFS.] |

| 8753 | Index: lib/Math/Complex.pm |
| 8754 | |
| 8755 | There was a mistake in the sqrt routine in lib/Math/Complex.pm that |
| 8756 | gave wrong answers when the magnitude of the imaginary part of the |
| 8757 | argument exceeded the magnitude of the real part. Line 69 had too |
| 8758 | many sqrt($y)'s. Further, expressions were re-arranged so that |
| 8759 | calls to the expensive real sqrt() routine were reduced from 4 to 2 |
| 8760 | in this case. |

| 8772 | |
| 8773 | syslog.pl tries but fails to use |
| 8774 | Socket.pm, the problem is that use doesn't return a true value. This |
| 8775 | module should be recast in terms of Sys::Syslog, of course. |

| 8782 | Index: mg.c |
| 8783 | |
| 8784 | Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem. |
| 8785 | I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually |
| 8786 | uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys |
| 8787 | to the vtbl_dbline handlers). |
| 8788 | |
| 8789 | Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with |
| 8790 | the simple MgPVKEY macro. |

| 8792 | Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add |
| 8793 | additional parens around the "mg". |

| 9058 | unless this file exists (outside of VMS, I'm afraid to make an error |
| 9059 | there). - Useful with -x option, when the file may be eaten via -I |

| 9061 | c) .h file would be scanned only if needed. |
| 9062 | d) typemap would be generated (with T_PTROBJ). |

| 9064 | included into POD. |

| 9122 | ------------------ |
| 9123 | Version 5.003_04 |
| 9124 | ------------------ |
| 9125 | |
| 9126 | This patch was primarily to fix bugs and to clean up some of |
| 9127 | the changes made in 5.003_03. The details are described below. |
| 9128 | A very brief summary is: |
| 9129 | |
| 9130 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 9131 | |
| 9132 | -Allow and document permissions for FileHandle::new and |
| 9133 | IO::File::new. |
| 9134 | -glob in Safe compartment used to allow shell access; now |
| 9135 | it's in the same category as `` and system(). |
| 9136 | |
| 9137 | o Configure and build enhancements |
| 9138 | |
| 9139 | -perl library name is again -lperl, not -lperl5 in some cases. |
| 9140 | -Several hint files no longer set -g -DDEBUGGING by default. |
| 9141 | Instead, they just turn off optimization, since that is |
| 9142 | probably what was intended. |
| 9143 | -Include OS/2 and Plan9 updates. |
| 9144 | |
| 9145 | o Bug fixes |
| 9146 | |
| 9147 | -SEGV with $_[0] and circular references fixed. |
| 9148 | -Ilya's debugger patch. |
| 9149 | -FAKE typeglobs fixed. |
| 9150 | -truncate with file name now works. |
| 9151 | -lval substr() no longer coredumps with refs |
| 9152 | -lval substr now clears lexicals in re-entered scopes. |
| 9153 | -core dump in caller() for signal handler for __DIE__. |
| 9154 | |
| 9155 | o Specific Changes |
| 9156 | |
| 9157 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |

| 9298 | /PERL_U?(CHAR|SHORT|INT|LONG)_(MAX|MIN)/, and installs aliases to |
| 9299 | those from /(I|U)(8|16|32|V)_(MAX|MIN)/ so that for any standard |

| 9302 | changed appropriately. |
| 9303 | |
| 9304 | The .c changes have the side effect of making cast_uv properly use quad |

| 9368 | Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs |
| 9369 | in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't |
| 9370 | so in 5.001n). |
| 9371 | The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname() |
| 9372 | which might coerce its first arg to a string. |
| 9373 | |
| 9374 | Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key |
| 9375 | weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared |

| 9555 | Subject: Track SVs for destruction when -DPURIFY |
| 9556 | |
| 9557 | When checking for memory leaks, I compiled Perl with "-DPURIFY". |
| 9558 | Although that flag improves the leak checking, it also breaks |
| 9559 | destruction of global objects, because SVs aren't kept in captive |
| 9560 | arenas any more. |
| 9561 | |
| 9562 | This patch rectifies the problem by providing an alternative |
| 9563 | method for keeping track of SVs when Perl is compiled for Purify. |
| 9564 | It has no effect on normal operation. |

| 9650 | |
| 9651 | Most of the changes in 5.003_03 are to make the build and installation |
| 9652 | process more robust. The details are described below. A very brief |
| 9653 | summary is: |
| 9654 | |
| 9655 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 9656 | |
| 9657 | -Support for tied filehandles. |
| 9658 | |
| 9659 | o Configure enhancements |
| 9660 | |
| 9661 | -How to build and install a shared libperl.so is now documented |
| 9662 | and supported, though it's not the default for most platforms. |
| 9663 | |
| 9664 | o Bug fixes |
| 9665 | |
| 9666 | -Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes. |
| 9667 | |
| 9668 | -If a regex supplied to split() contains paranthesized subpatterns |
| 9669 | that can result in null matches, perl no longer coredumps. |
| 9670 | |
| 9671 | -Fix problems with each() on tied hashes. |
| 9672 | |
| 9673 | -Make h2ph architecture-independent by using Config at run-time |
| 9674 | rather than extraction time. |
| 9675 | |
| 9676 | o Specific Changes |
| 9677 | |
| 9678 | Here are the specific file-by-file changes. |

| 9710 | This is patch perl5.003_03.pat to perl version 5.003_02. |
| 9711 | This takes you from 5.003_02 to 5.003_03. |
| 9712 | |
| 9713 | To apply this patch, run the above commands, |
| 9714 | cd to your perl source directory and then type |
| 9715 | |
| 9716 | patch -p1 -N < perl5.003_03.pat |
| 9717 | |
| 9718 | The changes are described after each /^Index/ line below. This is |
| 9719 | designed so you can examine each change with a command such as |
| 9720 | |
| 9721 | csplit -k perl5.003_03.pat '/^Index:/' '{99}' |
| 9722 | |
| 9723 | Index: Changes |
| 9724 | |
| 9725 | Include 5.003_03 change notes. |
| 9726 | |
| 9727 | Move older change notes to separate files. |
| 9728 | |
| 9729 | Index: Changes5.000 |
| 9730 | |
| 9731 | New file. Changes from perl4.036 to 5.000. |
| 9732 | |
| 9733 | Index: Changes5.001 |
| 9734 | |
| 9735 | New file. Changes from 5.000 to 5.001 |
| 9736 | |
| 9737 | Index: Changes5.002 |
| 9738 | |
| 9739 | New file. Changes from 5.001 to 5.002 |
| 9740 | |
| 9741 | Index: Changes5.003 |
| 9742 | |
| 9743 | New file. Changes from 5.002 to 5.003 |
| 9744 | |
| 9745 | Index: Configure |
| 9746 | |
| 9747 | Relaxed warning about ksh on exotic machines. |
| 9748 | |
| 9749 | Changed usesafe to useopcode. |
| 9750 | |
| 9751 | Add search for gzip and zip. |
| 9752 | |
| 9753 | Look more carefully for $sh (the Bourne-ish shell). |
| 9754 | Use that info to set $startsh correctly. |
| 9755 | |
| 9756 | Change prompts for PerlIO interface. See INSTALL |
| 9757 | for how this is supposed to work. The default is |
| 9758 | still the same as in 5.003_02, namely don't use |
| 9759 | any fancy new PerlIO stuff. |
| 9760 | |
| 9761 | Don't look for sigvec() since we don't actually use it. |
| 9762 | (Plus, it used to print an alarming misleading message about |
| 9763 | race conditions.) |
| 9764 | |
| 9765 | Look for stdio's _filbuf under the possible names of |
| 9766 | _filbuf, __filbuf, and _fill. |
| 9767 | |
| 9768 | New $useshrplib variable to control whether we build a shared |
| 9769 | libperl.so. The name of the library is in $libperl. |
| 9770 | Always install it in $installarchlib/CORE/$libperl. |
| 9771 | |
| 9772 | Check for <sys/resource.h> and <sys/wait.h> for NetBSD. |
| 9773 | |
| 9774 | Replace old $altmake stuff with newer autoconf-ish |
| 9775 | $make_set_make, which checks if $make sets $(MAKE). Now you |
| 9776 | choose an alternate make with sh Configure -Dmake=gmake (or |
| 9777 | whatever). |
| 9778 | |
| 9779 | Remove 'ln' for the list of essential commands. Simulate |
| 9780 | it with 'cp' if necessary. |
| 9781 | |
| 9782 | Change `logname` prompts to handle extra gratuitous spaces in |
| 9783 | Ultrix output. |
| 9784 | |
| 9785 | Autodetect os2. |
| 9786 | |
| 9787 | Fix silly bug in checking for fully-qualified names in /etc/hosts. |
| 9788 | |
| 9789 | Generalize Gconvert tests. Give correct and more useful |
| 9790 | error messages. |
| 9791 | |
| 9792 | Use $obj_ext instead of literal '.o' in the dynaloader test. |
| 9793 | |
| 9794 | Include appropriate header files in bcopy() and memcpy() |
| 9795 | tests. Note whether memmove is available. |
| 9796 | |
| 9797 | Check whether struct sigaction works (needed for Solaris 2.5 |
| 9798 | with -Xc). |
| 9799 | |
| 9800 | Include appropriate header files for randbits test. |
| 9801 | |
| 9802 | Index: INSTALL |
| 9803 | |
| 9804 | Add note about space requirements. |
| 9805 | |
| 9806 | Update to match Configure changes (Opcode vs. Safe, |
| 9807 | useperlio, useshrplib, etc.) |
| 9808 | |
| 9809 | Reorganize the structure of some of the hints. |
| 9810 | |
| 9811 | Miscellaneous clarifications. |
| 9812 | |
| 9813 | Index: MANIFEST |
| 9814 | |
| 9815 | Updated. 5.003_02 introduced some massive patches, mostly |
| 9816 | due to spacing changes. I didn't bother to sort them all out; |
| 9817 | I just started with 5.003's MANIEFST. |
| 9818 | |
| 9819 | Index: Makefile.SH |
| 9820 | |
| 9821 | Support the new simplified shared libperl mechanism. |
| 9822 | |
| 9823 | Use new $make_set_make directive. |
| 9824 | |
| 9825 | Remove redundant libperl Make variable. |
| 9826 | |
| 9827 | Remove unnecessary MAB variable. |
| 9828 | |
| 9829 | Remove dependency of minitest on lib/Config.pm, since it could |
| 9830 | well have been a failure of configpm that inspired testing |
| 9831 | miniperl in the first place! |
| 9832 | |
| 9833 | Index: Porting/Glossary |
| 9834 | |
| 9835 | New file describing all the config.sh variables. |
| 9836 | Eventually, I hope to fill this directory with other useful |
| 9837 | stuff. |
| 9838 | |
| 9839 | Index: README.os2 |
| 9840 | |
| 9841 | Replace old README.os2 with more up-to-date os2/README. |
| 9842 | |
| 9843 | Index: config_H |
| 9844 | |
| 9845 | Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH. |
| 9846 | Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new |
| 9847 | dependencies in the metaconfig units. |
| 9848 | |
| 9849 | Index: config_h.SH |
| 9850 | |
| 9851 | Updated to match current Configure and config_h.SH. |
| 9852 | Some rearrangement of parts has occurred due to new |
| 9853 | dependencies in the metaconfig units. |
| 9854 | |
| 9855 | Include full descriptions of ARCHLIB, OLDARCHLIB, PRIVLIB, |
| 9856 | SITEARCH, and SITELIB. Previous versions just included the |
| 9857 | ~-expanded names (with unhelpful descriptions). No functionality |
| 9858 | is changed, but maybe it's a little better documented now. |
| 9859 | |
| 9860 | Index: doio.c |
| 9861 | |
| 9862 | Possibly Include <signal.h> and <unistd.h> |
| 9863 | |
| 9864 | Index: doop.c |
| 9865 | |
| 9866 | No longer prefer bcmp over memcmp when order doesn't matter. |

| 9868 | Support bit operations on strings longer than 15 bytes. |
| 9869 | |

| 9905 | Fix problems with each() on tied hashes. |
| 9906 | |
| 9907 | Index: handy.h |
| 9908 | |
| 9909 | Change safe*alloc functions to have prototypes that |
| 9910 | match the system's malloc and free types. That is, use |
| 9911 | Malloc_t instead of char *, and Free_t instead of void. |
| 9912 | This is necessary so . . . |
| 9913 | |
| 9914 | Safefree cast matches type of free() whether it's perl's |
| 9915 | malloc/free or the system's malloc/free. |
| 9916 | |
| 9917 | Index: hints/README.hints |

| 9932 | |
| 9933 | Fix typo in comment. |
| 9934 | |
| 9935 | Configure will now automatically detect shared libperl stuff. |
| 9936 | |
| 9937 | Index: hints/epix.sh |
| 9938 | |
| 9939 | Use glibpth instead of libpth. This allows Configure to |
| 9940 | add local directories, such as /opt/local/lib, etc. |
| 9941 | |
| 9942 | Index: hints/irix_6_2.sh |
| 9943 | |

| 9957 | |
| 9958 | Index: hints/next_3.sh |
| 9959 | |
| 9960 | Build up $mab dynamically. Since $mab isn't used anywhere |
| 9961 | anymore, this is useless. However, $mab was never used for |
| 9962 | next_3.sh anyway, so there's been no change in functionality. |
| 9963 | |
| 9964 | Index: hints/next_4.sh |
| 9965 | |
| 9966 | Get rid of extraneous isnext_4 variable. Configure and |
| 9967 | Makefile.SH will use $osname and $osvers instead. |
| 9968 | |
| 9969 | Build up $mab dynamically based on available architectures. |
| 9970 | |
| 9971 | Absorb $mab into ccflags and ccdlflags. I hope that will |
| 9972 | cover everything. (Configure should automatically remove |
| 9973 | the -arch stuff from cppflags.) |
| 9974 | |
| 9975 | Configure now knows next4 needs to use a shared libperl.5.so. |
| 9976 | |
| 9977 | Allow users to use -Dprefix. |
| 9978 | |
| 9979 | Index: hints/os2.sh |
| 9980 | |
| 9981 | Try to update to reflect newer shared libperl stuff. |
| 9982 | I probably goofed :-). |
| 9983 | |
| 9984 | Index: hints/sco.sh |
| 9985 | |
| 9986 | Additional notes on using icc. |
| 9987 | |
| 9988 | Additional flags for dynamic loading. |
| 9989 | |
| 9990 | Index: hints/solaris_2.sh |
| 9991 | |
| 9992 | Perl.h no longer prefers bcmp, so it's again ok if Configure |
| 9993 | finds them, since perl will prefer the mem* versions anyway. |
| 9994 | |

| 10049 | Put back in the BEGIN { require 5.002; }. The version in |
| 10050 | 5.003_02 wouldn't work in 5.002 anyway. Further, the whole |
| 10051 | point of the construct is to catch 5.001m, so we can't use |
| 10052 | syntax introduced after 5.001m to do that. |
| 10053 | |
| 10054 | Index: lib/Text/Wrap.pm |

| 10075 | a (possibly) incorrect cast. The whole point of the |

| 10091 | |
| 10092 | Rely on Configure setting SH_PATH. |
| 10093 | |
| 10094 | Change the function name to Pause() instead of pause() to |
| 10095 | avoid potential prototype problems. (This naming convention |
| 10096 | is similar to the Fwrite and Fflush macros.) |

| 10259 | ------------------ |
| 10260 | Version 5.003_02 |
| 10261 | ------------------ |
| 10262 | |
| 10263 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 10264 | - Redefining constant subs, or changing sub's prototype now give warnings. |
| 10265 | - Fixes for ++/-- of values close to max/min size of an integer |
| 10266 | - Warning for un-qualified bareword as handler in $SIG{}. |
| 10267 | - UNIVERSAL::isa can now be called as static method. |
| 10268 | |
| 10269 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 10270 | - PerlIO abstraction added. |
| 10271 | Perl core and standard extensions no longer assume ANSI C's stdio is IO |
| 10272 | mechanism, Default Configure mode is still to use stdio via set of C macros. |
| 10273 | Alternate modes are to use stdio via one perlio.c module, or |
| 10274 | to use sfio if available. |
| 10275 | |
| 10276 | - Several bug fixs from perl5-porters |
| 10277 | - Make sources non-ANSI C correct again. |
| 10278 | - SUPER in gv.c |
| 10279 | - Last of shared-hash-key patches |
| 10280 | - eval '(0,1..3)'; # --> SegFault |
| 10281 | - coredumps after simple subsitutes. |
| 10282 | - Correction to UNIVERSAL::VERSION docs. |
| 10283 | - Fixed io_udp test. |
| 10284 | - Fixed another abuse of malloc'ed memory. |
| 10285 | - Enabled DEBUGING_MSTATS whenever perl's malloc() is used. |
| 10286 | - Reverted to default of not hiding perl's malloc (if used). |
| 10287 | |
| 10288 | o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities |
| 10289 | - Fixed MakeMaker for static SDBM and builing in a link tree. |
| 10290 | - Upgraded to IO-1.09, and includes latest (still experimental) IO::Select. |
| 10291 | - Documentation/test tweak to DB_File |
| 10292 | - h2xs upgrade to allow use C::Scan module |
| 10293 | |
| 10294 | o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support |
| 10295 | - Attempted to re-created 5.003_01's NeXT support with metaconfig units. |
| 10296 | - Updated MANIFEST |
| 10297 | - make minitest now depends on lib/Config.pm, as some of tests require it. |
| 10298 | - Included latest plan9 sub-directory |
| 10299 | - Applied OS/2 patches. |
| 10300 | - Typo patch for VMS. |
| 10301 | |
| 10302 | |
| 10303 | ------------------ |
| 10304 | Version 5.003_01 |
| 10305 | ------------------ |
| 10306 | |
| 10307 | Version 5.003_01 contains bugfixes and additions accumulated since |
| 10308 | version 5.002_01, since the patch to version 5.003 was deliberately |
| 10309 | kept simple. In addition to numerous small bugfixes in the core, |
| 10310 | library files, and documentation, this patch contains several |
| 10311 | significant revisions, summarized below: |
| 10312 | |
| 10313 | o Visible Changes to Core Functionality |
| 10314 | |
| 10315 | - A port to Plan9 has been started, and changes are integrated into |
| 10316 | the standard distribution. As of this release, the Perl core |
| 10317 | and several common extensions are working. |
| 10318 | |
| 10319 | - A set of basic methods in the UNIVERSAL class have been added to |
| 10320 | the Perl core. Since UNIVERSAL is an implicit member of every |
| 10321 | class's @ISA, the methods can be called via any object. |
| 10322 | |
| 10323 | - A mandatory warning has been added for 'declarations' of lexical |
| 10324 | variables using the "my" operator which mask an existing lexical |
| 10325 | variable declared in the same scope, making the previous variable |
| 10326 | inaccessible by its name. |
| 10327 | |
| 10328 | - The "use" and "require" operators have been extended to allow |
| 10329 | checking of the required module's version. The "use" operator |
| 10330 | can now be used for an immediate version check of Perl itself. |
| 10331 | |
| 10332 | - A new "strict" pragma, "strict untie", has been added, which |
| 10333 | produces an error if a tied value is untied when other references |
| 10334 | exist to the internal object implementing the tie. |
| 10335 | |
| 10336 | - Barewords used as associative array keys (i.e. when specifying |
| 10337 | an associative array element like $foo{__BAR} or on the left |
| 10338 | side of the => operator) may now begin with an underscore as |
| 10339 | well as an alphabetic character. |
| 10340 | |
| 10341 | - Some of the configuration information previously produced by the |
| 10342 | -v switch has been moved to the -V switch, in order to keep -v |
| 10343 | output concise. |
| 10344 | |
| 10345 | o Changes in Core Internals |
| 10346 | |
| 10347 | - Symbol table and method lookups have been made faster. |
| 10348 | |
| 10349 | - Perl subroutines which just return a constant value are now |
| 10350 | optimized at compile time into inline constants. |
| 10351 | |
| 10352 | - Management of keys for associative arrays has been improved to |
| 10353 | conserve space when the same keys are reused frequently, and |
| 10354 | to pass true Perl values to tie functions, instead of stringified |
| 10355 | representations. |
| 10356 | |
| 10357 | - Messages normally output to stderr may be directed to another |
| 10358 | stream when Perl is built. This allows some platforms to |
| 10359 | present diagnostic output in a separate window from normal |
| 10360 | program results. |
| 10361 | |
| 10362 | - A bug which caused suiperl to fail silently, albeit securely, |
| 10363 | in version 5.003 on some systems has been fixed. |
| 10364 | |
| 10365 | - Management of Unix-style signal handlers via the %SIG associative |
| 10366 | array has been made safer. |
| 10367 | |
| 10368 | - Several global C symbols have been renamed to eliminate collisions |
| 10369 | with system C header files or libraries on some platforms. |
| 10370 | Unfortunately, this means that dynamic extensions compiled under |
| 10371 | previous versions of Perl will need to be rebuilt for Perl |
| 10372 | 5.003_01. We're in the process of cleaning up Perl's C |
| 10373 | namespace to make it easier to link Perl with other binaries, |
| 10374 | so this will probably happen again between now and version 5.004. |
| 10375 | After that, we'll do our best to maintain binary compatibility |
| 10376 | between versions. |
| 10377 | |
| 10378 | - An alternate allocation strategy has been added to Perl's |
| 10379 | optional private memory management routines. This strategy, |
| 10380 | which may be selected when Perl is built, is designed to |
| 10381 | conserve memory in programs which allocate many small |
| 10382 | chunks of memory with sizes near a power of 2, as is often |
| 10383 | the case in Perl programs. |
| 10384 | |
| 10385 | - Several memory leaks in the creation and destruction of |
| 10386 | multiple interpreters have been fixed. |
| 10387 | |
| 10388 | o Changes in the Standard Library and Utilities |
| 10389 | |
| 10390 | - The Opcode extension, which allows you to control a program's |
| 10391 | access to Perl operations, has been added to the standard |
| 10392 | distribution. This extends the work begun in the original |
| 10393 | Safe extension, and subsumes it. The Safe interface is still |
| 10394 | available. |
| 10395 | |
| 10396 | - The IO extension, which provides a set of classes for object- |
| 10397 | oriented handling of common I/O tasks, has been added to the |
| 10398 | standard distribution. The IO classes will form the basis |
| 10399 | for future development of Perl's I/O interface, and will |
| 10400 | subsume the FileHandle class in the near future. The default |
| 10401 | class to which all Perl I/O handles belong is now IO::Handle, |
| 10402 | rather than FileHandle. |
| 10403 | |
| 10404 | - The ExtUtils::Embed library module, which provides a set |
| 10405 | of utility function to help in embedding Perl in other |
| 10406 | applications, has been added to the standard distribution. |
| 10407 | |
| 10408 | - The Fatal library module, which provides a simple interface |
| 10409 | for creating "do-or-die" equivalents of existing functions, |
| 10410 | has been added to the standard distribution. |
| 10411 | |
| 10412 | - The FindBin library module, which determines the full path |
| 10413 | to the currently executing program, has been added to the |
| 10414 | standard distribution. |
| 10415 | |
| 10416 | - The DB_File extension, and the Getopt::Long, Test::Harness, |
| 10417 | Text::Tabs, Text::Wrap, Time::Local and sigtrap library modules |
| 10418 | have been updated to the authors' latest versions. |
| 10419 | |
| 10420 | - The Carp library module now considers the @ISA chain when |
| 10421 | determining the caller's package for inclusion in error messages. |
| 10422 | |
| 10423 | - The h2xs, perlbug, and xsubpp utilities have been updated. |
| 10424 | |
| 10425 | - The standard Perl debugger has been updated, and the information |
| 10426 | provided to the debugger when an XSUB is called has been improved, |
| 10427 | making it possible for alternate debuggers (such as Devel::DProf) |
| 10428 | to do a better job of tracking XSUB calls. |
| 10429 | |
| 10430 | - The pod documentation formatting tools in the standard distribution |
| 10431 | can now handle characters in the input stream whose high bit is set. |
| 10432 | |
| 10433 | - The cperl-mode EMACS editing mode has been updated. |
| 10434 | |
| 10435 | o Changes in Documentation |
| 10436 | |
| 10437 | - Typographic and formatting errors have been corrected in the pod |
| 10438 | documentation for the core and standard library files |
| 10439 | |
| 10440 | - Explanations of several core operators have been improved |
| 10441 | |
| 10442 | - The perldebug, perlembed, perlipc, perlsec, and perltrap documents |
| 10443 | extensively revised. |
| 10444 | |
| 10445 | o Changes in OS-specific and Build-time Support |
| 10446 | |
| 10447 | - Support for the NeXT platform has been extended through |
| 10448 | NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP 4.0, and now includes the ability to create MABs. |
| 10449 | |
| 10450 | - Support for OS/2 has been extended as well, and now includes |
| 10451 | options for building a.out binaries. |
| 10452 | |
| 10453 | - Support for VMS has also been extended, incorporating improved |
| 10454 | processing of file specification strings, optional suppression of |
| 10455 | carriage control interpretation for record-structured files, |
| 10456 | improved support for the -S command line switch, a number of |
| 10457 | VMS-specific bugfixes, and significantly improved performance |
| 10458 | in line-oriented reading of files. |
| 10459 | |
| 10460 | - Several hints files have been added or updated: aux.sh (updated), |
| 10461 | convexos.sh (updated), irix_4.sh (updated), irix_5.sh (updated), |
| 10462 | irix_6_2.sh (updated), next_3.sh (updated), next_3_2.sh (new), |
| 10463 | next_3_3.sh (new), next_4.sh (new), os2/sh (updated), |
| 10464 | sco.sh (updated), and solaris_2.sh (updated). |
| 10465 | |
| 10466 | - The test driver for the regression tests now reports when a set |
| 10467 | of tests have been skipped (presumable because the operation |
| 10468 | they're designed to test isn't supported on the current system). |
