[perl #85026] Deleting the current iterator in void context

Looking at the delete code I see another strange thing. If the delete
of the current iterator is done with the G_DISCARD flag, the corres-
ponding value is not freed and survives until the lazy deleted entry
gets removed on the next hash iteration. This is easily demonstrated
like this:

perl -wle '
sub DESTROY { print "DESTROY" }
%a=(a=>bless[]);
each %a;
delete $a{a};
print "END"
'

This prints:

END
DESTROY

notice the difference with:

perl -wle '
sub DESTROY { print "DESTROY" }
%hash = (a => bless[]);
each %hash;
$dummy = delete $hash{a}; $dummy = 0;
print "END"
'

This prints:

DESTROY
END

This is easily solved by always replacing the deleted entry value with
&PL_sv_placeholder. It actually simplifies the code a bit except for the
fact that the mro_method_changed from free_hash_ent now has to be done

Ton Hospel [Mon, 16 May 2011 15:33:07 +0000 (08:33 -0700)]
[perl #85026] deleting elements in a HASH iterator

Internally a perl HASH is an array of single linked chains of entries.
Deleting an element means removing the correct chain entry by replacing
the pointer to the removed entry with a pointer to the next entry and
then freeing the deleted entry

However, if the deleted element is the current entry the deleted entry
is kept after removing it from the chain and the LAZYDEL flag is set.
Only on the next iteration is the element actually removed and the
iterator is set to the next entry.

However, if you delete the current iterator and then delete the next
element in the same chain the "next" pointer of the iterator is not
updated because the iterator is not on the chain anymore. That means
that when the next iteration looks up the iterator next pointer it
will point to the freed memory of the second element.

This patch fixes the places where the delete is done. Drawback is that
you may never forget to do the lazydel fixup in at any place where the
entry chain gets shortened.

freed in sv_clear() can never get re-blessed, and thus its SvSTASH field is

The logic behind this is that once you get to sv_clear(), the HV has a
refcnt of zero, which means either:

* nothing references this, so there's no way to bless it;
* we're in SVf_BREAK territory, in which case something may still
  hold a reference to it, but all destructors will have already been

make hv freeing iterative rather than recursive

make sv_clear() iteratively free the elements of a hash, rather than
recursing. This stops freeing deeply nested hash of hash structures from
blowing the stack.

This commit is relatively straightfoward, now that
a) the infrastruure is already in place in sv_clear to iteratively
   free AVs;
b) the long sequence of commits leading up to this has provided us with
    the hfree_next_entry() function, which returns just the next sv in the
    hash that needs freeing.

When starting to free a new hash, we have to save the old value of iter_sv
somewhere; we do this by sticking it in the unused SvSTASH slot of the HV.
This slot shouldn't get messed with, since, but this time we've already
called the destructor on this object, and we should have a refcount of
zero, so no destructor should be able to see us to rebless us.

Ideally we'd like to be able to save the old index into HvARRAY when
freeing a new HV, but I couldn't think of anywhere to hide it.
So we get sub-optimal scanning of the parent's HvARRAY when freeing hashes

remove 'hfreeentries failed to free hash' panic

Currently perl attempts to clear a hash 100 times before panicking.
So for example, if a naughty destructor keeps adding things back into the
hash, this will eventually panic.

Note that this can usually only occur with %h=() or undef(%h), since

destructor can use to mess with the hash.

Remove this limit (so it may potentially loop forever).

My reasoning is that (a) if the user wants to keep adding things back into
the hash, who are we to stop her? (b) as part of of the process of making

make hash emptying non-atomic

Currently, when empting a hash of its elements (e.g. via
undef(%h), or %h=()), HvARRAY field is temporarily zeroed, so that
any destructors called on the freed elements see an empty hash.

Change this so that they see any remaining elements. Thus,
%h=() becomes more like C<delete $h{$_} for keys %h>.

The atomic behaviour was introduced (by me) in 2003 with commit
2f86008e34264, to fix RT #3096. This concerned element destructors
that messed with the hash being undeffed, causing unrefed var errors
and the like.

At the time, simply setting HvARRAY to null for the duration seemed like a
simple fix. However, it didn't take account of destructors adding new
elements to the list, thus re-creating HvARRAY. This was subsequently
fixed. Then, the HvAUX structure was invented, which meant that optional
hash fields were hidden away at the end of HvARRAY. This meant that
hfreeentries() acquired a whole bunch of extra code to copy these fields
around between the original HvARRAY and the new HvARRAY and then back
again, and temporarily squirrelling the backref array in backref magic
rather than in HvAUX.

In short, hfreeentries() became a 200 line sprawling mess.
This commit reduces it back to 70, and makes everything conceptually
simpler.

It does however change user-level visible behaviour (back to pre-2003),
but note that the new behaviour now matches the behaviour that arrays have
always had (i.e. destructors see a partially-emptied array).

gcc --print-search-dirs doesn't really tell anything about where gcc

internal directory prefix.

Parse the output of "gcc -v -E" instead, and append $Config{usrinc}
for safety. Duplicates shouldn't matter.
