- regcomp: Disallow multi-char folds in lookbehind
-
- The addition of the ANYOFV regnode to treat multi-char folds in a bracketed
- character class has exposed a bug, in which those classes have long been able
- to be varying length (due to the multi-char fold), but the compiler wasn't
- aware of it. Now it is, and hence won't allow those which have multi-char
- folds to be part of a lookbehind pattern, which requires a constant length.
-
- This patch disallows multi-char folds in a lookbehind bracketed character
- class.

- regex: Separate nodes for Unicode semantics \s \w
-
- This patch converts the \s, \w and complements Unicode semantics to
- instead of using the flags field of their nodes to instead use separate
- nodes. This gains some efficiency, especially useful in tight loops and
- backtracking of regexec.c, and prepares the way for easily adding other
- semantic variations, such as /a.
-
- It refactors the CCC_TRY... macros. I tried to break this piece up into
- smaller chunks, but found it much easier to get to this in one step.
- Further patches will do some more refactoring of these.
-
- As part of the CCC_TRY macro refactoring, the lines that include the
- test if (! nextchr) are changed to just look for the end-of-string by
- position instead of it being NUL. In locales, it could be (however
- unlikely), that NUL is a real alphabetic, digit, or space character.

-
- Fix \xa0 matching both [\s] [\S], et.al.
-
- This bug stemmed from Latin1 characters not matching any (non-complemented)
- character class in /d semantics when the target string is no utf8; but having
- unicode semantics when it isn't. The solution here is to add a special flag.
-
- There were several tests that relied on the broken behavior, specifically they
- tested that \xff isn't a printable word character even in utf8. I changed the
- deparse test to instead use a non-printable code point, and I changed the ones
- in re_tests to be TODOs, and will change them back using /a when that is
- shortly added.
-
-
-SECURITY
-
- restrict \p{IsUserDefined} to In\w+ and In\w+
-
- In L<perlunicode/"User-Defined Character Properties">, it says you can
- create custom properties by defining subroutines whose names begin with
- "In" or "Is". However, perl doesn't actually enforce that naming
- restriction, so \p{foo::bar} will call foo::Bar() if it exists.
-
- This commit finally enforces this convention. Note that this broke a
- number of existing tests for properties, since they didn't always use an
- Is/In prefix.
-
-TESTING
-
- test that perl.pod, pod.lst, MANIFEST and the file system are consistent

-
- regex: Use ANYOFV
-
- This patch restructures the regex ANYOF code to generate ANYOFV nodes instead
- when there is a possibility that it could match more than one character. Note
- that this doesn't affect the optimizer, as it essentially ignores things that
- fit into this category. (But it means that the optimizer will no longer reject
- these when it shouldn't have.)
-
- The handling of the LATIN SHARP s is modified to correspond with this new node
- type.
-
- The initial handling of ANYOFV is placed in regexec.c. More analysis will come
- on that. But there was significant change to the part that handles matching
- multi-char strings. This has long been buggy, with it previously comparing a
- folded-version on one side with a non-folded version on the other.
-
- This patch fixes about 60% of the problems that my undelivered test suite gives
- for multi-char folds. But there are still 17K test failures left, so I'm still
- not delivering that. The TODOs that this fixes will be cleaned up in a later commit

-
- ithread_create() was relying on the stack not moving. Fix this.
-
- 4cf5eae5e58faebb changed S_ithread_create() to avoid creating an AV, by
- passing the thread creation arguments as pointers to a block of memory
- holding SVs. Unfortunately, this inadvertently introduced a subtle bug,
- because the block of memory is on the Perl stack, which can move as a side
- effect of being reallocated to extend it. Hence pass in the offset on the
- stack instead, read the current value of the relevant interpreter's stack
- at the point of access, and copy all the SVs away before making any further
- calls which might cause reallocation.

- Previously, if all of gethost{byaddr,byname,ent} were unimplemented on a

- called', with the analogous results for getnet{byaddr,byname,ent},
- getproto{byname,bynumber,ent} and getserv{byname,byport,ent}. This bug was
- introduced by change af51a00e97d5c559 - prior to this, all 12 functions would

- utf8.c(): Default to allow problematic code points
-
- Surrogates, non-character code points, and code points that aren't in Unicode
- are now allowed by default, instead of having to specify a flag to allow them.
- (Most code did specify those flags anyway.)
-
- This affects uvuni_to_utf8_flags(), utf8n_to_uvuni() and various routines that
- are specialized interfaces to them.
-
- Now there is a new set of flags to disallow those code points. Further, all 66
- of the non-character code points are known about and handled consistently,
- instead of just U+FFFF.
-
- Code that requires these code points to be forbidden will have to change to use
- the new flags. I have looked at all the (few) instances in CPAN where these
- routines are used, and the only one I found that appears to have need to do
- this, Encode, has already been patched to accommodate this change. Of course,
- I may have overlooked some subtleties.

- If a dll is updated on cygwin reuse the old imagebase address.
- This solves most rebase errors, esp when updating on core dll's.
- See http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/rebase/rebase-2.4.2.README
-
-
-NEW TESTS
-
- t/porting/filenames.t to make sure that filenames and paths are reasonably portable
-
-
-Platforms
-
- Actually excise 'Apollo DomainOS' support. We officially killed it in 5.11.0. It
- hadn't worked for years before that.

- CYG14 Dynaloader without USEIMPORTLIB, and search cyg prefix
-
- part1: Support the standard cyg dll prefix, which is e.g. needed for FFI's.
- Ctypes and C::DynaLib use DynaLoader to find dlls.
-
- part2: With -DUSEIMPORTLIB DynaLoader symbols link against the prefixed
- symbol names for the .dll.a importlib, but we need to link against the
- symbols directly. We don't link Dynaloader against libperl.dll.a.
-
- Otherwise:
- $ g++-4 -o cygperl5_13_4.dll --shared perlsrc.o cygwin.o DynaLoader.o -ldl -lcrypt
- Creating library file: libperl.dll.a
- DynaLoader.o: In function `XS_DynaLoader_dl_undef_symbols':

- Restore the old description of $[
-
- The new entry is a bit too futuristic: assignment to $[ still works
- and it is not read-only.
-
- This does not fully restore the old description, as it contained
- grammatical errors and parts of it were not updated when 5.10 changed
- the scoping.

- [perl #81032] Overhaul Porting/epigraphs.pod
-
- This patch makes multiple changes to Porting/epigraphs.pod and
- pod/perlhist.pod.
-
- For those that don't know, Porting/epigraphs.pod is a new document that
- collects the quotes (chosen by Pumpkins) in perl release announcements.
-
- The changes are the following.
-
- 1. Add a link pointing to each release announcement in the mailing
- list archives. These are from ysth's list, the source from which
- Porting/epigraphs.pod was originally compiled, but they weren't in
- Porting/epigraphs.pod so far.
- 2. Reorder Porting/epigraphs.pod chronologically, because I believe
- that makes more sense -- pod/perlhist.pod is still sorted by version numbers.
- 3. Incidentally, some missing releases are added to pod/perlhist.pod too.
- 4. Fix a mistake where Porting/epigraphs.pod gives the wrong version number.
- 5. Add some epigraphs that appear in ysth's list but not in
- Porting/epigraphs.pod.
- 6. I did some research in perl history before the part that ysth's list
- covers, and added older perl announcements I found. This work is not
- complete: I stopped somewhere in 2000.

- [perl #36347] Object destruction incomplete
-
- do_clean_objs only looks for objects referenced by RVs, so blessed
- array references and lexical variables (and probably other SVs, too)
- are not DESTROYed.
-
- This commit adds a new visit() call to sv_clean_objs, which curses
- (DESTROYs and un-blesses, leaving the reference count as it is) any
- objects that are still left after do_clean_named_io_objs. The new
- do_curse routine (a pointer to which is passeds to visit()) follows
- do_clean_named_io_objs’ example and explicitly skips the STDOUT and
- STDERR handles, in case destructors need to use them.
-
- The cursing code, which is now called from two places, is moved out of
- sv_clear and put in its own routine. The check that the reference
- count is zero does not apply when called from sv_clean_objs, so the
- new S_curse routine takes a boolean argument that determines whether
- that check should take place.

- make <expr> always overload if expr is overloaded
-
- Due to the way that '<> as glob' was parsed differently from
- '<> as filehandle' from 5.6 onwards, something like <$foo[0]>
- didn't handle overloading, even where $foo[0] was an overloaded object.
- This was contrary to the docs for overload, and meant that <> couldn't
- be used as a general overloaded iterator operator.

- Better handling of magic methods freeing the SV
-
- This is a fix for RT #81230 (and more). Currently, mg_get() works around
- the case where the called magic (e.g. FETCH) frees the magic SV. It does
- this by unconditionally pushing the SV on the tmps stack before invoking
- the method.
-
- There are two issues with this. Firstly, it may artificially extend the
- life of the SV. This was the root of the problem with #81230. There, the
- DB_File code, under -T, created a tainted tied object. Accessing the
- object (within FETCH as it happens), caused mg_get() to be invoked on the
- object (due to the taint magic), and thus extend the life of the object.
- This then caused c<untie %h if $h{k}> to give the warning
- untie attempted while 1 inner references still exist.
- This only became noticeable after efaf36747029c85b4d8825318cb4d485a0bb350e,
- which stopped wrapping magic method calls in SAVETMPS/FREETMPS.
-
- The second issue issue that this protection only applies to mg_get();
- functions like mg_set() can still segfault if the SV is deleted.
-
- This commit fixes both problems as follows:
-
- First, the protection mechanism is moved out of mg_get() and into
- save_magic() / restore_magic(), so that it protects more things.
- Secondly, the protection is now:
-
- * in save_magic(), SvREFCNT_inc() the SV, thus protecting it from being
- freed during FETCH (or whatever)
-
- * in restore_magic(), SvREFCNT_dec() the SV, undoing the protection
- without extending the life of the SV, *except* if the refcount is
- 1 (ie FETCH tried to free it), then push it on the mortals stack
- to extend it life a bit so our callers wont choke on it.

- [perl #81016] Document ord("")
-
- The following patch clarifies what ord("") does in pod/perlfunc.pod.
-
- From the current documentation, it's not documented what it does, and one
- could guess several different things: returns zero, returns undef, returns
- zero with a warning, returns undef with a warning, dies. (There's precedent
- for dying: some BASIC implementations give an error if you ask for ASC("")
- -- here ASC is their equivalent of our ord function.)
