| 1 | ------------- |
| 2 | Version 5.001 |
| 3 | ------------- |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Nearly all the changes for 5.001 were bug fixes of one variety or another, |
| 6 | so here's the bug list, along with the "resolution" for each of them. If |
| 7 | you wish to correspond about any of them, please include the bug number. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | There were a few that can be construed as enhancements: |
| 10 | NETaa13059: now warns of use of \1 where $1 is necessary. |
| 11 | NETaa13512: added $SIG{__WARN__} and $SIG{__DIE__} hooks |
| 12 | NETaa13520: added closures |
| 13 | NETaa13530: scalar keys now resets hash iterator |
| 14 | NETaa13641: added Tim's fancy new import whizbangers |
| 15 | NETaa13710: cryptswitch needed to be more "useable" |
| 16 | NETaa13716: Carp now allows multiple packages to be skipped out of |
| 17 | NETaa13716: now counts imported routines as "defined" for redef warnings |
| 18 | (and, of course, much of the stuff from the perl5-porters) |
| 19 | |
| 20 | NETaa12974: README incorrectly said it was a pre-release. |
| 21 | Files patched: README |
| 22 | |
| 23 | NETaa13033: goto pushed a bogus scope on the context stack. |
| 24 | From: Steve Vinoski |
| 25 | Files patched: pp_ctl.c |
| 26 | The goto operator pushed an extra bogus scope onto the context stack. (This |
| 27 | often didn't matter, since many things pop extra unrecognized scopes off.) |
| 28 | |
| 29 | NETaa13034: tried to get valid pointer from undef. |
| 30 | From: Castor Fu |
| 31 | Also: Achille Hui, the Day Dreamer |
| 32 | Also: Eric Arnold |
| 33 | Files patched: pp_sys.c |
| 34 | Now treats undef specially, and calls SvPV_force on any non-numeric scalar |
| 35 | value to get a real pointer to somewhere. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | NETaa13035: included package info with filehandles. |
| 38 | From: Jack Shirazi - BIU |
| 39 | Files patched: pp_hot.c pp_sys.c |
| 40 | Now passes a glob to filehandle methods to keep the package info intact. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | NETaa13048: didn't give strict vars message on every occurrence. |
| 43 | From: Doug Campbell |
| 44 | Files patched: gv.c |
| 45 | It now complains about every occurrence. (The bug resulted from an |
| 46 | ill-conceived attempt to suppress a duplicate error message in a |
| 47 | suboptimal fashion.) |
| 48 | |
| 49 | NETaa13052: test for numeric sort sub return value fooled by taint magic. |
| 50 | From: Peter Jaspers-Fayer |
| 51 | Files patched: pp_ctl.c sv.h |
| 52 | The test to see if the sort sub return value was numeric looked at the |
| 53 | public flags rather than the private flags of the SV, so taint magic |
| 54 | hid that info from the sort. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | NETaa13053: forced a2p to use byacc |
| 57 | From: Andy Dougherty |
| 58 | Files patched: MANIFEST x2p/Makefile.SH x2p/a2p.c |
| 59 | a2p.c is now pre-byacced and shipped with the kit. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | NETaa13055: misnamed constant in previous patch. |
| 62 | From: Conrad Augustin |
| 63 | Files patched: op.c op.h toke.c |
| 64 | The tokener translates $[ to a constant, but with a special marking in case |
| 65 | the constant gets assigned to or localized. Unfortunately, the marking |
| 66 | was done with a combination of OPf_SPECIAL and OPf_MOD that was easily |
| 67 | spoofed. There is now a private OPpCONST_ARYLEN flag for this purpose. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | NETaa13055: use of OPf_SPECIAL for $[ lvaluehood was too fragile. |
| 70 | Files patched: op.c op.h toke.c |
| 71 | (same) |
| 72 | |
| 73 | NETaa13056: convert needs to throw away any number info on its list. |
| 74 | From: Jack Shirazi - BIU |
| 75 | Files patched: op.c |
| 76 | The listiness of the argument list leaked out to the subroutine call because |
| 77 | of how prepend_elem and append_elem reuse an existing list. The convert() |
| 78 | routine just needs to discard any listiness it finds on its argument. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | NETaa13058: AUTOLOAD shouldn't assume size of @_ is meaningful. |
| 81 | From: Florent Guillaume |
| 82 | Files patched: ext/DB_File/DB_File.pm ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.pm ext/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.pm ext/Socket/Socket.pm h2xs.SH |
| 83 | I just deleted the optimization, which is silly anyway since the eventual |
| 84 | subroutine definition is cached. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | NETaa13059: now warns of use of \1 where $1 is necessary. |
| 87 | From: Gustaf Neumann |
| 88 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 89 | Now says |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Can't use \1 to mean $1 in expression at foo line 2 |
| 92 | |
| 93 | along with an explanation in perldiag. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | NETaa13060: no longer warns on attempt to read <> operator's transition state. |
| 96 | From: Chaim Frenkel |
| 97 | Files patched: pp_hot.c |
| 98 | No longer warns on <> operator's transitional state. |
| 99 | |
| 100 | NETaa13140: warning said $ when @ would be more appropriate. |
| 101 | From: David J. MacKenzie |
| 102 | Files patched: op.c pod/perldiag.pod |
| 103 | Now says |
| 104 | |
| 105 | (Did you mean $ or @ instead of %?) |
| 106 | |
| 107 | and added more explanation to perldiag. |
| 108 | |
| 109 | NETaa13149: was reading freed memory to make incorrect error message. |
| 110 | Files patched: pp_ctl.c |
| 111 | It was reading freed memory to make an error message that would be |
| 112 | incorrect in any event because it had the inner filename rather than |
| 113 | the outer. |
| 114 | |
| 115 | NETaa13149: confess was sometimes less informative than croak |
| 116 | From: Jack Shirazi |
| 117 | Files patched: lib/Carp.pm |
| 118 | (same) |
| 119 | |
| 120 | NETaa13150: stderr needs to be STDERR in package |
| 121 | From: Jack Shirazi |
| 122 | Files patched: lib/File/CheckTree.pm |
| 123 | Also fixed pl2pm to translate the filehandles to uppercase. |
| 124 | |
| 125 | NETaa13150: uppercases stdin, stdout and stderr |
| 126 | Files patched: pl2pm |
| 127 | (same) |
| 128 | |
| 129 | NETaa13154: array assignment didn't notice package magic. |
| 130 | From: Brian Reichert |
| 131 | Files patched: pp_hot.c |
| 132 | The list assignment operator looked for only set magic, but set magic is |
| 133 | only on the elements of a magical hash, not on the hash as a whole. I made |
| 134 | the operator look for any magic at all on the target array or hash. |
| 135 | |
| 136 | NETaa13155: &DB::DB left trash on the stack. |
| 137 | From: Thomas Koenig |
| 138 | Files patched: lib/perl5db.pl pp_ctl.c |
| 139 | The call by pp_dbstate() to &DB::DB left trash on the stack. It now |
| 140 | calls DB in list context, and DB returns (). |
| 141 | |
| 142 | NETaa13156: lexical variables didn't show up in debugger evals. |
| 143 | From: Joergen Haegg |
| 144 | Files patched: op.c |
| 145 | The code that searched back up the context stack for the lexical scope |
| 146 | outside the eval only partially took into consideration that there |
| 147 | might be extra debugger subroutine frames that shouldn't be used, and |
| 148 | ended up comparing the wrong statement sequence number to the range of |
| 149 | valid sequence numbers for the scope of the lexical variable. (There |
| 150 | was also a bug fixed in passing that caused the scope of lexical to go |
| 151 | clear to the end of the subroutine even if it was within an inner block.) |
| 152 | |
| 153 | NETaa13157: any request for autoloaded DESTROY should create a null one. |
| 154 | From: Tom Christiansen |
| 155 | Files patched: lib/AutoLoader.pm |
| 156 | If DESTROY.al is not located, it now creates sub DESTROY {} automatically. |
| 157 | |
| 158 | NETaa13158: now preserves $@ around destructors while leaving eval. |
| 159 | From: Tim Bunce |
| 160 | Files patched: pp_ctl.c |
| 161 | Applied supplied patch, except the whole second hunk can be replaced with |
| 162 | |
| 163 | sv_insert(errsv, 0, 0, message, strlen(message)); |
| 164 | |
| 165 | NETaa13160: clarified behavior of split without arguments |
| 166 | From: Harry Edmon |
| 167 | Files patched: pod/perlfunc.pod |
| 168 | Clarified the behavior of split without arguments. |
| 169 | |
| 170 | NETaa13162: eval {} lost list/scalar context |
| 171 | From: Dov Grobgeld |
| 172 | Files patched: op.c |
| 173 | LEAVETRY didn't propagate number to ENTERTRY. |
| 174 | |
| 175 | NETaa13163: clarified documentation of foreach using my variable |
| 176 | From: Tom Christiansen |
| 177 | Files patched: pod/perlsyn.pod |
| 178 | Explained that foreach using a lexical is still localized. |
| 179 | |
| 180 | NETaa13164: the dot detector for the end of formats was over-rambunctious. |
| 181 | From: John Stoffel |
| 182 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 183 | The dot detector for the end of formats was over-rambunctious. It would |
| 184 | pick up any dot that didn't have a space in front of it. |
| 185 | |
| 186 | NETaa13165: do {} while 1 never linked outer block into next chain. |
| 187 | From: Gisle Aas |
| 188 | Files patched: op.c |
| 189 | When the conditional of do {} while 1; was optimized away, it confused the |
| 190 | postfix order construction so that the block that ordinarily sits around the |
| 191 | whole loop was never executed. So when the loop tried to unstack between |
| 192 | iterations, it got the wrong context, and blew away the lexical variables |
| 193 | of the outer scope. Fixed it by introducing a NULL opcode that will be |
| 194 | optimized away later. |
| 195 | |
| 196 | NETaa13167: coercion was looking at public bits rather than private bits. |
| 197 | From: Randal L. Schwartz |
| 198 | Also: Thomas Riechmann |
| 199 | Also: Shane Castle |
| 200 | Files patched: sv.c |
| 201 | There were some bad ifdefs around the various varieties of set*id(). In |
| 202 | addition, tainting was interacting badly with assignment to $> because |
| 203 | sv_2iv() was examining SvPOK rather than SvPOKp, and so couldn't coerce |
| 204 | a string uid to an integer one. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | NETaa13167: had some ifdefs wrong on set*id. |
| 207 | Files patched: mg.c pp_hot.c |
| 208 | (same) |
| 209 | |
| 210 | NETaa13168: relaxed test for comparison of new and old fds |
| 211 | From: Casper H.S. Dik |
| 212 | Files patched: t/lib/posix.t |
| 213 | I relaxed the comparison to just check that the new fd is greater. |
| 214 | |
| 215 | NETaa13169: autoincrement can corrupt scalar value state. |
| 216 | From: Gisle Aas |
| 217 | Also: Tom Christiansen |
| 218 | Files patched: sv.c |
| 219 | It assumed a PV didn't need to be upgraded to become an NV. |
| 220 | |
| 221 | NETaa13169: previous patch could leak a string pointer. |
| 222 | Files patched: sv.c |
| 223 | (same) |
| 224 | |
| 225 | NETaa13170: symbols missing from global.sym |
| 226 | From: Tim Bunce |
| 227 | Files patched: global.sym |
| 228 | Applied suggested patch. |
| 229 | |
| 230 | NETaa13171: \\ in <<'END' shouldn't reduce to \. |
| 231 | From: Randal L. Schwartz |
| 232 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 233 | <<'END' needed to bypass ordinary single-quote processing. |
| 234 | |
| 235 | NETaa13172: 'use integer' turned off magical autoincrement. |
| 236 | From: Erich Rickheit KSC |
| 237 | Files patched: pp.c pp_hot.c |
| 238 | The integer versions of the increment and decrement operators were trying too |
| 239 | hard to be efficient. |
| 240 | |
| 241 | NETaa13172: deleted duplicate increment and decrement code |
| 242 | Files patched: opcode.h opcode.pl pp.c |
| 243 | (same) |
| 244 | |
| 245 | NETaa13173: install should make shared libraries executable. |
| 246 | From: Brian Grossman |
| 247 | Also: Dave Nadler |
| 248 | Also: Eero Pajarre |
| 249 | Files patched: installperl |
| 250 | Now gives permission 555 to any file ending with extension specified by $dlext. |
| 251 | |
| 252 | NETaa13176: ck_rvconst didn't free the const it used up. |
| 253 | From: Nick Duffek |
| 254 | Files patched: op.c |
| 255 | I checked in many random memory leaks under this bug number, since it |
| 256 | was an eval that brought many of them out. |
| 257 | |
| 258 | NETaa13176: didn't delete XRV for temp ref of destructor. |
| 259 | Files patched: sv.c |
| 260 | (same) |
| 261 | |
| 262 | NETaa13176: didn't delete op_pmshort in matching operators. |
| 263 | Files patched: op.c |
| 264 | (same) |
| 265 | |
| 266 | NETaa13176: eval leaked the name of the eval. |
| 267 | Files patched: scope.c |
| 268 | (same) |
| 269 | |
| 270 | NETaa13176: gp_free didn't free the format. |
| 271 | Files patched: gv.c |
| 272 | (same) |
| 273 | |
| 274 | NETaa13176: minor leaks in loop exits and constant subscript optimization. |
| 275 | Files patched: op.c |
| 276 | (same) |
| 277 | |
| 278 | NETaa13176: plugged some duplicate struct allocation memory leaks. |
| 279 | Files patched: perl.c |
| 280 | (same) |
| 281 | |
| 282 | NETaa13176: sv_clear of an FM didn't clear anything. |
| 283 | Files patched: sv.c |
| 284 | (same) |
| 285 | |
| 286 | NETaa13176: tr/// didn't mortalize its return value. |
| 287 | Files patched: pp.c |
| 288 | (same) |
| 289 | |
| 290 | NETaa13177: SCOPE optimization hid line number info |
| 291 | From: David J. MacKenzie |
| 292 | Also: Hallvard B Furuseth |
| 293 | Files patched: op.c |
| 294 | Every pass on the syntax tree has to keep track of the current statement. |
| 295 | Unfortunately, the single-statement block was optimized into a single |
| 296 | statement between the time the variable was parsed and the time the |
| 297 | void code scan was done, so that pass didn't see the OP_NEXTSTATE |
| 298 | operator, because it has been optimized to an OP_NULL. |
| 299 | |
| 300 | Fortunately, null operands remember what they were, so it was pretty easy |
| 301 | to make it set the correct line number anyway. |
| 302 | |
| 303 | NETaa13178: some linux doesn't handle nm well |
| 304 | From: Alan Modra |
| 305 | Files patched: hints/linux.sh |
| 306 | Applied supplied patch. |
| 307 | |
| 308 | NETaa13180: localized slice now pre-extends array |
| 309 | From: Larry Schuler |
| 310 | Files patched: pp.c |
| 311 | A localized slice now pre-extends its array to avoid reallocation during |
| 312 | the scope of the local. |
| 313 | |
| 314 | NETaa13181: m//g didn't keep track of whether previous match matched null. |
| 315 | From: "philippe.verdret" |
| 316 | Files patched: mg.h pp_hot.c |
| 317 | A pattern isn't allowed to match a null string in the same place twice in |
| 318 | a row. m//g wasn't keeping track of whether the previous match matched |
| 319 | the null string. |
| 320 | |
| 321 | NETaa13182: now includes whitespace as a regexp metacharacter. |
| 322 | From: Larry Wall |
| 323 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 324 | scan_const() now counts " \t\n\r\f\v" as metacharacters when scanning a pattern. |
| 325 | |
| 326 | NETaa13183: sv_setsv shouldn't try to clone an object. |
| 327 | From: Peter Gordon |
| 328 | Files patched: sv.c |
| 329 | The sv_mortalcopy() done by the return in STORE called sv_setsv(), |
| 330 | which cloned the object. sv_setsv() shouldn't be in the business of |
| 331 | cloning objects. |
| 332 | |
| 333 | NETaa13184: bogus warning on quoted signal handler name removed. |
| 334 | From: Dan Carson |
| 335 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 336 | Now doesn't complain unless the first non-whitespace character after the = |
| 337 | is an alphabetic character. |
| 338 | |
| 339 | NETaa13186: now croaks on chop($') |
| 340 | From: Casper H.S. Dik |
| 341 | Files patched: doop.c |
| 342 | Now croaks on chop($') and such. |
| 343 | |
| 344 | NETaa13187: "${foo::bar}" now counts as mere delimitation, not as a bareword. |
| 345 | From: Jay Rogers |
| 346 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 347 | "${foo::bar}" now counts as mere delimitation, not as a bareword inside a |
| 348 | reference block. |
| 349 | |
| 350 | NETaa13188: for backward compatibility, looks for "perl -" before "perl". |
| 351 | From: Russell Mosemann |
| 352 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 353 | Now allows non-whitespace characters on the #! line between the "perl" |
| 354 | and the "-". |
| 355 | |
| 356 | NETaa13188: now allows non-whitespace after #!...perl before switches. |
| 357 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 358 | (same) |
| 359 | |
| 360 | NETaa13189: derivative files need to be removed before recreation |
| 361 | From: Simon Leinen |
| 362 | Also: Dick Middleton |
| 363 | Also: David J. MacKenzie |
| 364 | Files patched: embed_h.sh x2p/Makefile.SH |
| 365 | Fixed various little nits as suggested in several messages. |
| 366 | |
| 367 | NETaa13190: certain assignments can spoof pod directive recognizer |
| 368 | From: Ilya Zakharevich |
| 369 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 370 | The lexer now only recognizes pod directives where a statement is expected. |
| 371 | |
| 372 | NETaa13194: now returns undef when there is no curpm. |
| 373 | From: lusol@Dillon.CC.Lehigh.EDU |
| 374 | Files patched: mg.c |
| 375 | Since there was no regexp prior to the "use", it was returning whatever the |
| 376 | last successful match was within the "use", because there was no current |
| 377 | regexp, so it treated it as a normal variable. It now returns undef. |
| 378 | |
| 379 | NETaa13195: semop had one S too many. |
| 380 | From: Joachim Huober |
| 381 | Files patched: opcode.pl |
| 382 | The entry in opcode.pl had one too many S's. |
| 383 | |
| 384 | NETaa13196: always assumes it's a Perl script if -c is used. |
| 385 | From: Dan Carson |
| 386 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 387 | It now will assume it's a Perl script if the -c switch is used. |
| 388 | |
| 389 | NETaa13197: changed implicit -> message to be more understandable. |
| 390 | From: Bruce Barnett |
| 391 | Files patched: op.c pod/perldiag.pod |
| 392 | I changed the error message to be more understandable. It now says |
| 393 | |
| 394 | Can't use subscript on sort... |
| 395 | |
| 396 | |
| 397 | NETaa13201: added OPpCONST_ENTERED flag to properly enter filehandle symbols. |
| 398 | From: E. Jay Berkenbilt |
| 399 | Also: Tom Christiansen |
| 400 | Files patched: op.c op.h toke.c |
| 401 | The grammatical reduction of a print statement didn't properly count |
| 402 | the filehandle as a symbol reference because it couldn't distinguish |
| 403 | between a symbol entered earlier in the program and a symbol entered |
| 404 | for the first time down in the lexer. |
| 405 | |
| 406 | NETaa13203: README shouldn't mention uperl.o any more. |
| 407 | From: Anno Siegel |
| 408 | Files patched: README |
| 409 | |
| 410 | NETaa13204: .= shouldn't warn on uninitialized target. |
| 411 | From: Pete Peterson |
| 412 | Files patched: pp_hot.c |
| 413 | No longer warns on uninitialized target of .= operator. |
| 414 | |
| 415 | NETaa13206: handy macros in XSUB.h |
| 416 | From: Tim Bunce |
| 417 | Files patched: XSUB.h |
| 418 | Added suggested macros. |
| 419 | |
| 420 | NETaa13228: commonality checker didn't treat lexicals as variables. |
| 421 | From: mcook@cognex.com |
| 422 | Files patched: op.c opcode.pl |
| 423 | The list assignment operator tries to avoid unnecessary copies by doing the |
| 424 | assignment directly if there are no common variables on either side of the |
| 425 | equals. Unfortunately, the code that decided that only recognized references |
| 426 | to dynamic variables, not lexical variables. |
| 427 | |
| 428 | NETaa13229: fixed sign stuff for complement, integer coercion. |
| 429 | From: Larry Wall |
| 430 | Files patched: perl.h pp.c sv.c |
| 431 | Fixed ~0 and integer coercions. |
| 432 | |
| 433 | NETaa13230: no longer tries to reuse scratchpad temps if tainting in effect. |
| 434 | From: Luca Fini |
| 435 | Files patched: op.c |
| 436 | I haven't reproduced it, but I believe the problem is the reuse of scratchpad |
| 437 | temporaries between statements. I've made it not try to reuse them if |
| 438 | tainting is in effect. |
| 439 | |
| 440 | NETaa13231: *foo = *bar now prevents typo warnings on "foo" |
| 441 | From: Robin Barker |
| 442 | Files patched: sv.c |
| 443 | Aliasing of the form *foo = *bar is now protected from the typo warnings. |
| 444 | Previously only the *foo = \$bar form was. |
| 445 | |
| 446 | NETaa13235: require BAREWORD now introduces package name immediately. |
| 447 | From: Larry Wall |
| 448 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 449 | require BAREWORD now introduces package name immediately. This lets the |
| 450 | method intuit code work right even though the require hasn't actually run |
| 451 | yet. |
| 452 | |

| 478 | NETaa13305: compiler misoptimized RHS to outside of s/a/print/e |
| 479 | From: Brian S. Cashman <bsc@umich.edu> |
| 480 | Files patched: op.c |
| 481 | The syntax tree was being misconstructed because the compiler felt that |
| 482 | the RHS was invariant, so it did it outside the s///. |

| 485 | From: Larry Wall |

| 497 | From: Brian Katzung |
| 498 | Files patched: sv.c doio.c mg.c pp_hot.c pp_sys.c scope.c taint.c |
| 499 | Taint magic is now localized better, though I had to resort to a kludge |
| 500 | to allow a value to be both tainted and untainted simultaneously during |
| 501 | the assignment of |
| 502 | |
| 503 | local $foo = $_[0]; |
| 504 | |
| 505 | when $_[0] is a reference to the variable $foo already. |

| 508 | From: Ian Phillipps |
| 509 | Files patched: pod/modpods/AnyDBMFile.pod |
| 510 | The doc was misleading. |
| 511 | |
| 512 | NETaa13342: grep and map with block would enter block but never leave it. |
| 513 | From: Ian Phillipps |
| 514 | Files patched: op.c |
| 515 | The compiler use some sort-checking code to handle the arguments of |
| 516 | grep and map. Unfortunately, this wiped out the block exit opcode while |
| 517 | leaving the block entry opcode. This doesn't matter to sort, but did |
| 518 | matter to grep and map. It now leave the block entry intact. |
| 519 | |
| 520 | The reason it worked without the my is because the block entry and exit |
| 521 | were optimized away to an OP_SCOPE, which it doesn't matter if it's there |
| 522 | or not. |
| 523 | |

| 532 | From: Andrew Wilcox |
| 533 | Files patched: gv.c |
| 534 | Filehandles and globs will be excepted from "strict vars", so that you can |
| 535 | do the standard Perl 4 trick of |

| 555 | From: David Filo |
| 556 | Files patched: pp_ctl.c |
| 557 | COMMON only gets set if assigning to @_, which is reasonable. Most of the |

| 617 | NETaa13366: can't do block scope optimization on $1 et al when tainting. |
| 618 | From: Andrew Vignaux |
| 619 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 620 | The tainting mechanism assumes that every statement starts out |
| 621 | untainted. Unfortunately, the scope removal optimization for very |
| 622 | short blocks removed the statementhood of statements that were |
| 623 | attempting to read $1 as an untainted value, with the effect that $1 |
| 624 | appeared to be tainted anyway. The optimization is now disabled when |
| 625 | tainting and the block contains $1 (or equivalent). |

| 642 | From: Greg Kuperberg |

| 644 | The normalization routine was assuming that the gcd of two numbers was |

| 654 | From: Simon Parsons |
| 655 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 656 | It was not skipping the comment when it skipped the white space, and constructed |
| 657 | an opcode that tried to match a null string. Unfortunately, the previous |
| 658 | star tried to use the first character of the null string to optimize where |

| 684 | From: Gisle.Aas@nr.no |
| 685 | Files patched: toke.c |
| 686 | When $data[0] is used in a spot that might be an indirect object, the lexer |
| 687 | was getting confused over the rule that says the $data in $$data[0] isn't |
| 688 | an array element. (The lexer uses XREF state for both indirect objects |

| 924 | Files patched: gv.c gv.h |
| 925 | I did a much simpler fix. When gp_free notices that it's freeing the |

| 927 | to revert to gv if egv is null. |

| 1012 | From: William Setzer |
| 1013 | Files patched: op.c |
| 1014 | When a lexical variable is declared, introduction is delayed until |
| 1015 | the start of the next statement, so that any initialization code runs |
| 1016 | outside the scope of the new variable. Thus, |
| 1017 | |
| 1018 | my $y = 3; |
| 1019 | my $y = $y; |
| 1020 | print $y; |
| 1021 | |
| 1022 | should print 3. Unfortunately, the declaration was marked with the |
| 1023 | beginning location at the time that "my $y" was processed instead of |
| 1024 | when the variable was introduced, so any embedded statements within |
| 1025 | an anonymous subroutine picked up the wrong "my". The declaration |
| 1026 | is now labelled correctly when the variable is actually introduced. |

| 1264 | NETaa13710: cryptswitch needed to be more "useable" |
| 1265 | From: Tim Bunce |
| 1266 | Files patched: embed.h global.sym perl.h toke.c |
| 1267 | The cryptswitch_fp function now can operate in two modes. It can |
| 1268 | modify the global rsfp to redirect input as before, or it can modify |
| 1269 | linestr and return true, indicating that it is not necessary for yylex |
| 1270 | to read another line since cryptswitch_fp has just done it. |
| 1271 | |
