| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After applying the patch below, perl5.004_02 builds and passes all tests 100% on Alpha NT with MSVC 4.2. The patch simply wraps around the initialization code in win32.c which calls _control87(). If desired, I can build a binary dist for Alpha NT based on Sarathy's packlist for his.

I have no idea what the 'standard' is, but the modifier is not '/c' (I dont recall if I refered to it that way in my first message, but I was being coloquial if so), insofar as the '/' is part of another syntactic structure which does not even require it to be a '/'.

I tried (in vi) !!perlbug -d, but perlbug complained about being non-interactive. I checked the source and found a simple fix.

* SCO Openserver 5.0.4 - add comment to hint file re compiler bugBill Glicker1997-09-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Perl 5.004_02 successfully compiles and passes all tests under SCO Openserver 5.0.4p. However, there is a bug in the Optimizing C Compiler (ver 2.1.4d). When using icc as the compiler, optimization must either be turned off or set to "-O0" -- otherwise the "pack" tests fail. The bug has been reported to SCO. p5p-msgid: Pine.SCO.3.96.970811153021.18457A-100000@laura.burrelles.com

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MkLinux (osname=linux,archname=ppc-linux), which differs slightly from other linuces, needs special flags passed in order for dynamic loading to work. Perhaps this should be somehow incorporated into linux.sh or something? I'd propose a patch, but this is not my area of expertise at all. instead of the recommended: ccdlflags='-rdynamic' it should be: ccdlflags='-Wl,-E' Thanks to Shimpei Yamashita <shimpei@socrates.patnet.caltech.edu> for pointing this out.

* 5.004_02: Complex/Trig: updateJarkko Hietaniemi1997-09-053-33/+345
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patches do not fix actual grave errors but they do: - make the code more robust (more discontinuities catched) (e.g. atan(-i), atanh(-1)) - make the results agree on signs and/or conjugate forms with the results MATLAB gives: the results were already correct thanks to the periodicity of trig funcs but now they are also consistent. (e.g. acos(x) did have an unnecessary discontinuity at x = 0) - for some pure real arguments short-circuit the calculation to avoid rounding errors (which make epsilons appear where clear zeros should reign) Tested on NetBSD 1.2G i686, Linux 2.0.25 i686, Digital UNIX 4.0 EV56. p5p-msgid: 199708081842.VAA31214@alpha.hut.fi

* The description of the \Q metacharacter is confusing to novicesAndrew M. Langmead1997-09-051-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The perlre man page talks about "quoting" metacharacters. This may not be the easiest terminology for novice perl programmers to understand. Also this man page seems to downplay the utility of the quotemeta() function and \Q escape sequence compared to the older idiom of s/(\W)/\\$1/g Maybe text similar to the changes below would be clearer. p5p-msgid: 199708101946.AA06339@world.std.com

There was a thread about this about two weeks ago under the subject "Re: pod2man .IX question (for Solaris bug fix)". Kurt Starsinic posted a patch which didn't get into the 5.004_02 release, probably because it appears to be incorrect (see below). > This is trivially fixed by > moving the .IX to before the .SH: > > .IX Header "NAME" > .SH "NAME" > perlbot \- Bag'o Object Tricks (the BOT) It may need something more complicated, since Kurt wrote :I would like to keep them, if possible, but moving them down a line or two :doesn't solve the problem. Following is a patch which moves all of the .IX :lines to the end of the man page, which (I believe) will appease all :interested parties. This patch DTRT under Solaris 2.5.1/SPARC and OSF1 :V4.0/DEC Alpha, both running perl 5.004 (no patches): I doubt this last assertion, since I noted a couple of suspicious looking bits in the patch (in a subsequent message in the above thread). This is perhaps why Tim didn't include it in 5.004_02. (Also, the patch was for pod2man rather than pod2man.PL.) I attach below Kurt's patch with my corrections. I've checked that this doesn't actually wreck pod2man totally, but I can't test it further since i) I don't know what the .IX is meant to do. ii) I don't actually know what the code is meant to be doing. iii) I don't have a suitable Solaris (etc) system to try on. Perhaps someone else could take this further. Credited: John Redford <jmr@whirlwind.fmr.com> Credited: Kurt Starsinic <kstar@isinet.com> p5p-msgid: E0wxoUZ-0006Ee-00@ursa.cus.cam.ac.uk

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the description of -Do to its current meaning, tweaks the entries for -Dl and -Dr, and makes the description prefer the letters form to the numeric one. Note 1: The code in magic_get() sets $^D to `debug & 32767', which loses the value of -DD. Is this intentional? Note 2: `Label stack' doesn't seem like an especially good name for the thing -Dl traces. `Context' matches the name of the variable `cxstack'. If we wanted to retain the letter, it could be called the `loop' stack, since perlsyn says `A BLOCK by itself (labeled or not) is semantically equivalent to a loop that executes once', s///g is like a loop, and subs and formats, um, aren't that important anyway :-).

When provided a literal, you should point at the actual literal (which normally has a global lifetime), rather than making a mortal copy of it and pointing at that. The mortal copy will be destroyed at the next statement boundary, and you'll be left with a dangling pointer when you unpack().

Thank you for a great job! You even corrected os2/diff.configure!

* win32 extras and embeddingGurusamy Sarathy1997-08-078-277/+302
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes the various Win32-specific builtins available in embedded perl. It also fixes a problem with FP errors thrown by the Borland runtime when doing something like C<perl -e "print(1.0e+26 % 1">. The VC runtime doesn't throw those errors because FP errors are off by default in VC, on in Borland. The patch adds code to always turn them off. (This should ultimately be made user-settable via $SIG{FPE}, when we have more robust signal handling). I've also made Borland builds use gcvt(), which is available there, and is much faster than sprintf(). Most of the size of the patch comes from moved code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fills in some gaps in the docs, and adds runperl.bat. The fix to pl2bat makes it so that a #!perl line is always available, so that "perl -x" always works on a batific file. This goes over my previous win32 patches (esp. the exec patch and the pl2bat patch). I'm going to post a consolidated win32 patch here soon, never fear. p5p-msgid: 199707070446.AAA29560@aatma.engin.umich.edu

* getenv() after my_setenv() gets old entry on Win32Gurusamy Sarathy1997-08-072-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Perl uses the environment to communicate the -d:DProf switch to itself. Since the win32 code sets the operating system's env block directly when my_setenv() is called, calls to the RTL's getenv() won't see the changed environment, so the -d:Foo option is not honored. The attached patch fixes the problem by supplying our own getenv() equivalent. p5p-msgid: 199706231700.NAA23400@aatma.engin.umich.edu

* Win32 sitelib intuition from DLL locationGurusamy Sarathy1997-08-073-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There is code for win32 that determines archlib from the location of PERL.DLL. This is only 50% effective, as any sitelib at the same location is not found. This simple patch adds that feature. It is needed for the win32 binary distribution to work in a relocatable fashion.

I just found out it can be made to work there by setting C<ParameterChar = *> in the 4nt.ini file. Since using %* eliminates the 9 arg limit for perl bat files, I recommend this patch (which includes yours).

I've poked around, guessing, >tried adding: >PERL_SYS_INIT(&argc,&args); >SetIOSubSystem(&win32stdio); The first thing I noticed was Apache is threaded, and mod_status code will be invoked in a thread different from the main one. The second thing I found out was I couldn't reproduce the problem when running Apache with perl.dll produced by Borland. Putting two and one together, I came up with this fix. Note that another way to fix it would be to initialize pIOSubSystem in DllMain's DLL_THREAD_ATTACH, but there is no call for pIOSubSystem to be thread-local in the first place (it is simply a pointer to an application level global). p5p-msgid: 199707261518.LAA24346@aatma.engin.umich.edu
