Leon Timmermans [Fri, 18 Feb 2011 02:04:00 +0000 (18:04 -0800)]
[perl #84358] Removing AutoLoader from DynaLoader

DynaLoader currently uses Autoloader. This was an optimization going
back to perl 5.000 in 1994. However, this implementation detail leaks in
a rather troublesome way.

DynaLoader is used by subclassing it. Because of this, when you call
some undefined method on an instance of any class that derives from
DynaLoader (directly or indirectly) you do not get this error message:

    Can't locate object method "undefined_method" via package "Foo"

But this rather cryptic error:

    Can't locate auto/Foo/undefined_m.al in @INC (@INC contains:
/etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .)

This is totally incomprehensible for anyone who isn't familiar with
what's going on. It was rather a premature optimization anyway if you
ask me, on my machine it's just 66 non-empty lines of code that are
being autoloaded.

Therefore, I think AutoLoader should be removed from DynaLoader.

13 years agoMove dprofpp from utils/ to ext/Devel-DProf/bin
Florian Ragwitz [Thu, 17 Feb 2011 20:50:54 +0000 (21:50 +0100)]
Move dprofpp from utils/ to ext/Devel-DProf/bin

This way the script can easily be part of the CPAN distribution, where
ExtUtils::MakeMaker will do its shebang munging.

In the core, we still have utils/dprofpp.PL, which also does shebang munging and
takes care of creating `dprofpp.com' instead of just `dprofpp' on VMS, which
ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't seem to be up to yet.

To make this work, some things had to be moved from script-generation-time to
run-time:

 * location of the stty binary
   This is probably better for binary perl distributions anyway

 * Devel::DProf version detection
   This is needed for `dprofpp -V'. The version number used to be copied into
   the script, but is now determined by actually loading Devel::DProf.

   In order for this to work it's necessary to be able to load DProf without
   causing profiling to start. For that, starting of the profiler has been moved
   to `import', causing

     require Devel::DProf;

   to not trigger it anymore, while

     use Devel::DProf;

   (and therefore perl -d:DProf) still does.

Increase PERLIOBUF_DEFAULT_BUFSIZ to larger of 8192 and BUFSIZ.

The previous default size of a PerlIO buffer (4096 bytes) was
chosen many years ago before PerlIO was even the default I/O scheme
for Perl.  Benchmarks show that doubling this decade-old default
increases read and write performance in the neighborhood of 25%
to 50% when using the default layers of perlio on top of unix.

The only situation without a noticeable performance benefit so
far appears to be when physical I/O is so slow that it dwarfs
any savings from the reduction in layer shuffling, but there
is also no performance penalty in this case.

BUFSIZ will be chosen in the unlikely event that it's larger
than 8192 on the assumption that the system maintainers would
not set such a value without good reason.

If the new size causes problems, or to try an even bigger size,
configure with:

  ./Configure -Accflags=-DPERLIOBUF_DEFAULT_BUFSIZ=N

where N is the desired size in bytes; it should probably be a
multiple of your page size.
