* Add VMS specifics to Porting/makerelCharles Bailey1998-05-120-0/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Funny - I had intended to submit a patch against _04 to fix File::Path::mkpath() which had a nasty problem (especially on VMS). A closer look at the 04-m1 source revealed that the necessary change is already in there (thanks!). I did, however, encounter build troubles on VMS one of which involved the new save_helem() and save_aelem() in pp.c pp_hot.c not having prototypes. I hand applied the proto.h fix from Gurusamy Sarathy in: http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/ mailing-lists/perl-porters/1998-03/msg00469.html and got further along to: MCR Sys$Disk:[]miniperl.exe "-I[.lib]" ConfigPM.

Unfortunately the .PL-ification of Dynaloader.pm was not accounted for in the VMS Makefile. The enclosed patch to vms/descrip.mms fixes that. I realize that there have been many patches to vms related files recently, perhaps including vms/descrip.mms. Unfortunately I have not had the time to check if this change was already suggested and/or incorporated into the archive (though I did search the p5p and vmsp archives at www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de for the string '_pl' but saw nothing relevant to vms). Apologies to the pumpking for any inconvenience (and congratulations on the new baby :-). Do note that the change to PERL_VERSION reflected in this patch ought to be upped (via C<s/00404/00405/>) before releasing this as _05.

Write was >performed after an end of the malloced area. Thanks Ilya - I hadn't seen it before. I understand, I think, why it is happening: the $x[??] arguments to printf are being compiled to pp_aelemfast, which pushes on the stack without bounds checking - the second one exactly fills the stack, so the third writes past the end; the final $_ is pp_gvsv, which does an EXTEND(sp, 1), which grows the stack, copying all that it knows about, but leaving a gap for the past-the-end value - this causes the SEGV when the overwrite hasn't been trapped by the assertion. I'm not sure whether AELEMFAST is supposed to EXTEND - if it is, the patch below will suffice. If not, then presumably room on the stack is supposed to be guaranteed at the time of generation of the op, which is in op.c:peep() case OP_GV: I can't see there any attempt to check expected stack depth. I can certainly see the value of optimising the printf to something along the lines of: EXTEND SP, 5 MARK CONSTFAST AELEMFAST AELEMFAST AELEMFAST SCALARFAST PRINTF .. but I suspect that isn't what 'FAST' is supposed to mean. Patch is to 5.004_04, and passes all tests (and the above failure case) here; it might be worth adding the failure case to op/misc.t if it is at least reasonably likely to fail in the same place in the future - if so, only the last four lines should be required. p5p-msgid: l03130300b16bebdbc314@[194.222.64.89]

I didn't find any patches which obviously meant to fix it, :so just in case: : : $string = "aa bb cc"; : : foreach ('aa', 'bb', '(?o)aa', 'bb', 'aa', '(?o)aa') { : if ($string =~ /($_)/) { print "yes: $_\n" } : else { print "no: $_\n" } : } : : produces, in 5.004_04: : : yes: aa : yes: bb : yes: (?o)aa : no: bb : yes: aa : yes: (?o)aa : : but in 5.004_64, it does the right thing (given that the right :thing is to ignore (?o) directives) Patch below makes 5.004_05t1 do that. : Can somebody say for sure that the root problem has been :addressed, or shall I look for more subtle examples? Depends which root problem - the patch below fixes the problem of '5.004 doesn't ignore (?o)' (though perhaps it should be ignoring (?g) as well?). The devel branch solution is rather different since (as I understand it) it can attach flags to a particular subexpression of the regexp, so that I believe this: /($_)(?:(?o)($_))/ foreach qw( a b ); will match "aa" the first time and "ba" the second. I guess the 'root cause' of the difference between the _05t1 and the _64 behaviour is that the devel branch rightly accepts patches that the maint branch rightly refuses, and regexps represent an area of major change in that respect. [Later] Nope, I was wrong: the above code matches "aa" and "bb" in 5.004_64. I guess that because /o wasn't set on the top level, it has already thrown away the old compiled regexp before it might have got as far as seeing /o on the subexpression. [Even later] There seems to be an additional oddity with the 5.004_05t1 status quo, since this: foreach $a (qw(a b)) { foreach $b (qw(a b)) { printf "$a$a =~ $b$b: %s\n", (("$a$a" =~ /$b((?o)$b)/) ? 'yes' : 'no'); }} prints this: aa =~ aa: yes aa =~ bb: aa bb =~ aa: bb bb =~ bb: bb .. so looking for more subtle examples might still be fruitful. With the below patch the above code prints the same results as 5.004_64, matching yes/no/no/yes. p5p-msgid: 199804201243.OAA08244@dorlas.elsevier.nl

* perl compile fix for AIX 4.3Jens-Uwe Mager1998-04-282-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | Perl does not compile under AIX 4.3 due to two problems. First, in an attempt to make the DNS resolver thread safe h_errno is not a simple variable any more, it is a define. This causes the definition in pp_sys.c to fail. Second the XCOFF header files remove some useful definitions that the dynamic loader in dl_aix.xs did rely upon. The following is a patch that fixes both problems. p5p-msgid: 199804261611.SAA34728@ans.helios.de

* support find2perl -followBilly1998-04-221-16/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | it's been tried before by better people than i, i'm sure, but here's a patch for find2perl (well, find2perl.PL) that implements the -follow option; i tested it very *very* trivially, and it seemed to work (it gave the same output as "find -follow" anyway)... how it works: we have a hash (%already_seen) which stores which files we've seen (it uses "$dev,$ino" as the hash key - that's unique for each file, i figure), but only records it in the hash if the file we're looking at isn't a directory (that what find seems to do)... also, all lstat() calls become stat() calls with -follow... no doubt the special case "-follow -type l" should be considered, but i didn't think of it at the time... anyway, enjoy... p5p-msgid: Pine.SV4.3.93.980408005903.24081A-100000@ermintrude.teaching.cs.adelaide.edu.au

* glibc2.0.6 missing MSG_* <sys/socket.h> defines.Andy Dougherty1998-04-221-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a patch suitable for the maintenance track; a similar patch is already in 5.004_64, but that version relies on a config.h variable HAS_GNULIBC that is not available in 5.004_04. This version uses __GLIBC__, which ought to be perfectly fine. In glibc2.0.6 systems, the various MSG_* #defines in <sys/socket.h> are no longer #defines. Instead, they are enums. I have received confirmation (bug libc/545) that they will again be #defined in 2.0.7, but I suspect that we ought to expect to encounter 2.0.6 and the various 2.0.7-prereleases for quite a while. p5p-msgid: Pine.SUN.3.96.980406113950.3166L-100000@newton.phys
