14 years agoSV-based interfaces for dieing and warning

SV-based interfaces for dieing and warning

New functions croak_sv(), die_sv(), mess_sv(), and warn_sv(), each act
much like their _sv-less counterparts, but take a single SV argument
instead of sprintf-like format and args.  They will accept RVs, passing
them through as such.  This means there's no more need to clobber ERRSV
in order to throw a structured exception.

pp_warn() and pp_die() are rewritten to use the _sv interfaces.
This fixes part of [perl #74538].  It also means that a structured
warning object will be passed through to $SIG{__WARN__} instead of
being stringified, thus bringing warn in line with die with respect to
structured exception objects.

The new functions and their existing counterparts are all fully
documented.

The attached patches are necessary to work around aix 4.2 lack of support for IPv6,

The hints/aix_4.sh patch solves the following build failure:

14 years agoPATCH: [perl #72998] regex looping
Karl Williamson [Wed, 14 Apr 2010 03:25:36 +0000 (21:25 -0600)]
PATCH: [perl #72998] regex looping

If a character folds to multiple ones in case-insensitive matching,
it should not match just one of those, or the regular expression can
loop.  For example, \N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF} folds to 'ff', and so
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /f+/i
should match.  Prior to this patch, this function returned that there is
a match, but left the matching string  pointer at the beginning of the
"\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" because it doesn't make sense to match
just half a character, and at this level it doesn't know about the '+'.
This leaves things in an inconsistent state, with the reporting of a
match, but the input pointer unchanged, the result of which is a loop.

I don't know how to fix this so that it correctly matches, and there are
semantic issues with doing so.  For example, if
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /ff/i
matches, then one would think that so should
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /(f)(f)/i
But $1 and $2 don't really make sense here, since they both refer to the
half of the same character.

So this patch just returns failure if only a partial character is
matched.  That leaves things consistent, and solves the problem of
looping, so that Perl doesn't hang on such a construct, but leaves the
ultimate solution for another day.
