[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

12 years ago[perl #85026] deleting elements in a HASH iterator
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.

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.

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
when freeing a hash, there's usually no reference to the hash that a
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
sv_clear() non-recursive when freeing hashes, I'm trying to reduce the
amount of state that must be maintained between each iteration.

Note that arrays currently don't have a limit.

David Mitchell [Tue, 3 May 2011 09:51:17 +0000 (10:51 +0100)]
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).

Note that backref magic for HVs is now always stored in HvAUX

backward compatibility), resulting in things like

 # perl -e 'require "syscall.ph"'
 Can't locate asm/unistd.ph in @INC [...]

This happens because Ubuntu has switched to a 'multiarch' setup, see
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec> for details.

The asm subdirectory isn't in $Config{usrinc} anymore: /usr/include/asm
is now /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm. (The third component of the
new path varies with the actual architecture.)

gcc --print-search-dirs doesn't really tell anything about where gcc
looks for the include directories, it was just used to find the gcc
internal directory prefix.

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

The h2ph "-a" switch isn't currently tested automatically, and that
seems nontrivial to do portably. Manual testing was done with

 # mkdir ttt
 # ./perl -Ilib ./utils/h2ph -a -d $(pwd)/ttt syscall.h

The gcc invocation has been tested to work with gcc 4.6, 4.1, and 3.3.

Append CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to their Config.pm counterparts in EU::CBuilder

Since ExtUtils::CBuilder 0.27_04 (bleadperl commit 06e8058f27e4),
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from the environment have overridden the Config.pm
ccflags and ldflags settings. This can cause binary incompatibilities
between the core Perl and extensions built with EU::CBuilder.

Append to the Config.pm values rather than overriding them.

/iaa doesn't work when the result is trie'd

It turns out that caseless tries currently only work on UTF-8 EXACTFU
nodes.  The code attempted to test that by using UNI_SEMANTICS, but that

12 years ago[perl #88496] missing dependencies in perl core makefiles

[perl #88496] missing dependencies in perl core makefiles

I have spotted a couple of missing dependencies in the makefiles
utils/Makefile.SH and x2p/Makefile.SH that prevent json_pp, s2p,
psed, and find2perl from being rebuilt after configuration changes.

This could cause trouble if the install prefix has been changed,
so that the shebang line of these scripts from a previous build
no longer matches the target location of the perl binary.

A workaround would be to always "make clean" after changes to
the configuration, which sounds reasonable anyway. That said,
most of the other tools do have config.sh properly listed as a
dependency and I don't see why those four should not.

I have attached a small patch against perl-5.13.11 to fix this.
The bug is also present in the latest stable release as of this
writing, perl-5.12.3, except that json_pp is not included there.
