=head1 NAME
-perldelta - what is new for perl v5.21.5
+perldelta - what is new for perl v5.21.11
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This document describes differences between the 5.21.4 release and the 5.21.5
+This document describes differences between the 5.21.10 release and the 5.21.11
release.
-If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.21.3, first read
-L<perl5214delta>, which describes differences between 5.21.3 and 5.21.4.
-
-=head1 Core Enhancements
-
-=head2 New double-diamond operator
-
-C<<< <<>> >>> is like C<< <> >> but uses three-argument C<open> to open
-each file in @ARGV. So each element of @ARGV is an actual file name, and
-"|foo" won't be treated as a pipe open.
-
-=head2 Aliasing via reference
-
-Variables and subroutines can now be aliased by assigning to a reference:
-
- \$c = \$d;
- \&x = \&y;
-
-Or by using a backslash before a C<foreach> iterator variable, which is
-perhaps the most useful idiom this feature provides:
-
- foreach \%hash (@array_of_hash_refs) { ... }
-
-This feature is experimental and must be enabled via C<use feature
-'refaliasing'>. It will warn unless the C<experimental::refaliasing>
-warnings category is disabled.
-
-See L<perlref/Assigning to References>.
-
-=head2 Perl now supports POSIX 2008 locale currency additions.
-
-On platforms that are able to handle POSIX.1-2008, the
-hash returned by
-L<C<POSIX::localeconv()>|perllocale/The localeconv function>
-includes the international currency fields added by that version of the
-POSIX standard. These are
-C<int_n_cs_precedes>,
-C<int_n_sep_by_space>,
-C<int_n_sign_posn>,
-C<int_p_cs_precedes>,
-C<int_p_sep_by_space>,
-and
-C<int_p_sign_posn>.
-
-=head2 Packing infinity or not-a-number into a character is now fatal.
-
-Before, when trying to pack infinity or not-a-number into a
-(signed) character, Perl would warn, and assumed you tried to
-pack C<< 0xFF >>; if you gave it as an argument to C<< chr >>,
-C<< U+FFFD >> was returned.
-
-But now, all such actions (C<< pack >>, C<< chr >>, and C<< print '%c' >>)
-result in a fatal error.
-
-=head2 Inf and NaN
-
-Many small improvements, bug fixes and added test cases for dealing
-with math related to infinity and not-a-number.
-
-=head1 Security
-
-=head2 Perl is now compiled with -fstack-protector-strong if available
-
-Perl has been compiled with the anti-stack-smashing option
-C<-fstack-protector> since 5.10.1. Now Perl uses the newer variant
-called C<-fstack-protector-strong>, if available. (This was added
-already in 5.21.4.)
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.21.9, first read
+L<perl52110delta>, which describes differences between 5.21.9 and 5.21.10.
=head1 Deprecations
-=head2 Use of multiple /x regexp modifiers
-
-It is now deprecated to say something like any of the following:
-
- qr/foo/xx;
- /(?xax:foo)/;
- use re qw(/amxx);
-
-That is, now C<x> should only occur once in any string of contiguous
-regular expression pattern modifiers. We do not believe there are any
-occurrences of this in all of CPAN. This is in preparation for a future
-Perl release having C</xx> mean to allow white-space for readability in
-bracketed character classes (those enclosed in square brackets:
-C<[...]>).
-
-=head1 Performance Enhancements
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-C<length> is up to 20% faster for non-magical/non-tied scalars containing a
-string if it is a non-utf8 string or if C<use bytes;> is in scope.
-
-=item *
-
-Non-magical/non-tied scalars that contain only a floating point value and are
-on most Perl builds with 64 bit integers now use 8-32 less bytes of memory
-depending on OS.
+=head2 Making all warnings fatal is discouraged
-=item *
-
-In C<@array = split>, the assignment can be optimized away with C<split>
-writing directly to the array. This optimisation was happening only for
-package arrays other than @_ and only
-sometimes. Now this optimisation happens
-almost all the time.
-
-=item *
-
-C<join> is now subject to constant folding. Moreover, C<join> with a
-scalar or constant for the separator and a single-item list to join is
-simplified to a stringification. The separator doesn't even get evaluated.
-
-=item *
-
-C<qq(@array)> is implemented using two ops: a stringify op and a join op.
-If the qq contains nothing but a single array, the stringification is
-optimized away.
-
-=item *
-
-C<our $var> and C<our($s,@a,%h)> in void context are no longer evaluated at
-run time. Even a whole sequence of C<our $foo;> statements will simply be
-skipped over. The same applies to C<state> variables.
-
-=back
+The documentation for L<fatal warnings|warnings/Fatal Warnings> notes that
+C<< use warnings FATAL => 'all' >> is discouraged and provides stronger
+language about the risks of fatal warnings in general.

-Special handling is required on EBCDIC platforms to get C<qr/[i-j]/> to
-match only C<"i"> and C<"j">, since there are 7 characters between the
-code points for C<"i"> and C<"j">. This special handling had only been
-invoked when both ends of the range are literals. Now it is also
-invoked if any of the C<\N{...}> forms for specifying a character by
-name or Unicode code point is used instead of a literal. See
-L<perlrecharclass/Character Ranges>.

-SVs of type SVt_NV are now bodyless when a build configure and platform allow
-it, specifically C<sizeof(NV) <= sizeof(IV)>. The bodyless trick is the same one
-as for IVs since 5.9.2, but for NVs, unlike IVs, is not guaranteed on all
-platforms and build configurations.
-
-=item *
-
-The C<$DB::single>, C<$DB::signal> and C<$DB::trace> now have set and
-get magic that stores their values as IVs and those IVs are used when
-testing their values in C<pp_dbstate>. This prevents perl from
-recursing infinity if an overloaded object is assigned to any of those
-variables. [perl #122445]
-
-=item *
+Perl 5.21.2 introduced a new build option, C<-DPERL_OP_PARENT>, which causes
+the last C<op_sibling> pointer to refer back to the parent rather than being
+C<NULL>, and where instead a new flag indicates the end of the chain. In this
+release, the new implementation has been revised; in particular:
-C<Perl_tmps_grow> which is marked as public API but undocumented has been
-removed from public API. If you use C<EXTEND_MORTAL> macro in your XS code to
-preextend the mortal stack, you are unaffected by this change.
+=over 4
=item *
-C<cv_name>, which was introduced in 5.21.4, has been changed incompatibly.
-It now has a flags field that allows the caller to specify whether the name
-should be fully qualified. See L<perlapi/cv_name>.
+On C<PERL_OP_PARENT> builds, the C<op_sibling> field has been renamed
+C<op_sibparent> to reflect its new dual purpose. Since the intention is that
+this field should primarily be accessed via macros, this change should be
+transparent for code written to work under C<PERL_OP_PARENT>.
=item *
-Internally Perl no longer uses the C<SVs_PADMY> flag. C<SvPADMY()> now
-returns a true value for anything not marked PADTMP. C<SVs_PADMY> is now
-defined as 0.
+The newly-introduced C<op_lastsib> flag bit has been renamed C<op_moresib> and
+its logic inverted; i.e. it is initialised to zero in a new op, and is changed
+to 1 when an op gains a sibling.
=item *
-The macros SETsv and SETsvUN have been removed. They were no longer used
-in the core since commit 6f1401dc2a, and have not been found present on
-CPAN.
+The function C<Perl_op_parent> is now only available on C<PERL_OP_PARENT>
+builds. Using it on a plain build will be a compile-timer error.
=item *
-The C<< SvFAKE >> bit (unused on HVs) got informally reserved by
-David Mitchell for future work on vtables.
+Three new macros, C<OpMORESIB_set>, C<OpLASTSIB_set>, C<OpMAYBESIB_set> have
+been added, which are intended to be a low-level portable way to set
+C<op_sibling> / C<op_sibparent> while also updating C<op_moresib>. The first
+sets the sibling pointer to a new sibling, the second makes the op the last
+sibling, and the third conditionally does the first or second action. The
+C<op_sibling_splice()> function is retained as a higher-level interface that
+can also maintain consistency in the parent at the same time (e.g. by updating
+C<op_first> and C<op_last> where appropriate).
=item *
-The C<sv_catpvn_flags> function accepts C<SV_CATBYTES> and C<SV_CATUTF8>
-flags, which specify whether the appended string is bytes or utf8,
-respectively.
+The macro C<OpSIBLING_set>, added in Perl 5.21.2, has been removed. It didn't
+manipulate C<op_moresib> and has been superseded by C<OpMORESIB_set> et al.
=item *
-A new opcode class, C<< METHOP >> has been introduced, which holds
-class/method related info needed at runtime to improve performance
-of class/object method calls.
+The C<op_sibling_splice> function now accepts a null C<parent> argument where
+the splicing doesn't affect the first or last ops in the sibling chain, and
+thus where the parent doesn't need to be updated accordingly.
-C<< OP_METHOD >> and C<< OP_METHOD_NAMED >> are moved from being
