+ 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
+

+
+ 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.

+
+ 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.

+ Improve cygwin rebase behaviour
+
+ 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

+
+ 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':
+ ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.c:346: undefined reference to `__imp__PL_stack_sp'
+ ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.c:346: undefined reference to `__imp__PL_markstack_ptr'
+ ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.c:346: undefined reference to `__imp__PL_stack_base'

+ [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.

+ Reorganize perlhack.pod
+
+ Following on an IRC conversation, I've attempted to reorganize
+ perlhack for greater clarity. I have only cut and paste blocks
+ of text and amended section titles and levels. (I have not addressed
+ any of the numerous factual issues which remain.)
+
+ The resulting guide should be clearer for those trying to skim the
+ table of contents to understand what is covered in perlhack and
+ whether it is worth an in-depth read.
+
+ I see this change as the first step towards future improvements.
