* perlop: fix documentation for s/// "false" return valueLukas Mai2017-08-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a0d0e21ea6ea90a2231 ("perl-5.000") added perlop.pod, where s/// was described as returning 0 if no substitutions were made. commit e37d713d85ec003d03d ("perl 5.003_01: pod/perlop.pod") then "fixed" the documentation by saying it returns the empty string instead. And that's how it's been since 1996. What s/// actually returns on match failure is the canonical false value, which is both "" and 0 at the same time (depending on numeric/string context).
* document fileno(DIRHANDLE)Zefram2017-08-191-1/+4
| | | | | This has been supported since commit 67f2cc757fdda0bee562f2f5899884d09ca382ef in Perl 5.21.7.
* add sv_string_from_errnum()Zefram2017-08-194-7/+54
| | | | | | This is a new API function, partly substituting for the my_strerror() that was recently removed from the public API, but also incorporating the decoding work that's done for $!.
* Improve heuristic for UTF-8 detection in "$!"Karl Williamson2017-08-184-9/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the stringification of "$!" was considered to be UTF-8 if it had any characters with the high bit set, and everything was syntactically legal UTF-8. This may to correctly guess on short strings where there are only a few non-ASCII bytes. This could happen in languages based on the Latin script where many words don't use non-ASCII. This commit adds a check that the locale is a UTF-8 one. That check is a call to an already-existing subroutine which goes to some lengths to get an accurate answer, and should be essentially completely reliable on modern systems that have nl_langinfo() and/or mbtowc(). See the thread starting at http://nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/245902
* document dirhandles vs filehandlesZefram2017-08-181-1/+2
| | | | | | | | The statement that they are in separate namespaces was never really true. Since the recent commit 489c16bfa14d460701bd76a4a4f0658f1200509a a single I/O object can no longer be opened both ways at once, so the old statement is now totally false. Replace it with something describing the new situation.
* Add -Werror=pointer-arith by defaultDagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker2017-08-172-5/+17
| | | | The core is already clean for this.

* S_opdump_indent(): avoid shift overflowDavid Mitchell2017-08-171-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | RT #131912 the (1 << i) is harmless for large i, but triggers an 'undefined-behavior' errror in clang. So work around it.
* (perl #131793) sanely handle PL_linestart > PL_bufptrTony Cook2017-08-172-5/+23
| | | | | | | In the test case, scan_ident() ends up fetching another line (updating PL_linestart), and since in this case we don't successfully parse ${identifier} s (and PL_bufptr) end up being before PL_linestart.

* (perl #124368) make /foo/o; /$null/ act consistentlyTony Cook2017-08-142-9/+18
| | | | | | | | | Previously the /o would be inherited by the second match if the first match was successful, but only on non-threaded builds. The op-tree rewriting done on non-threaded builds could also confuse the interpreter, possibly resulting in the match op receiving the argument intended for the regcomp op.
* perldelta for adb0f5c46e10Tony Cook2017-08-141-0/+5

* (perl #131725) ignore the exponent on a decimal float if no digitsTony Cook2017-08-142-2/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | Previously the "1e-" in "1e--5" would be treated as "1", but consumed the "e-". This wasn't an issue for hex floats. I considered (and implemented) croaking instead, but this was inconsistent with the behaviour for hex floats, which only reach this code if a full hex float has been parsed.
* locale.c: Use strerror_l if platform has itKarl Williamson2017-08-121-7/+26
| | | | | | strerror_l makes the my_strerror function trivial, as it doesn't have to worry about critical sections, etc. Even on unthreaded perls, it avoids having to change the current locale, and then change it back.
* locale.c: Refactor some #if clausesKarl Williamson2017-08-121-15/+13
| | | | | | | | | | This moves all the handling of the case where there are no locale messages, instead of splitting it up across long stretches of conditionally compiled code. This code is essentially trivial, and seen to be so when it isn't split up; this prepares for the next commit. The final return of the function is still split off so that all branches go through it, and the debugging code adjacent to it.
* locale.c: Move some DEBUGGING codeKarl Williamson2017-08-121-10/+9
| | | | This is moved so it gets executed for all branches.
* Initialize locale object even in unthreaded perlsKarl Williamson2017-08-124-22/+37
| | | | | | | This commit will now initialize the thread-safe C locale object if the POSIX 2008 functions are available, regardless of whether the perl is threaded or not. This will allow for a future commit that uses them, and which is a win on unthreaded builds.
* locales: Add #define; change how to overrideKarl Williamson2017-08-123-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the controlling #define for using the POSIX 2008 locale functions to "USE_POSIX_2008_LOCALE". The previous controlling name "USE_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE" is retained for backward compatibility. The reason for this change is that we may add thread-safe locale handling even on platforms that don't have Posix 2008, so the name USE_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE would be used for controlling things in that situation. In other words, the concepts may become distinct, and so prepare for that.

* Use temp files with extensions in rt131211.t on VMS.Craig A. Berry2017-08-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | On VMS, a file without an extension is really a file with an explicitly specified "." indicating zero-length extension. This was causing tests to fail with, for example, "abbbbbbbbbbbbc" not matching "abbbbbbbbbbbbc." as returned by glob. So add a ".tmp" extension to all the temp files on VMS only.
* Fix missing break in tovmsspec.Craig A. Berry2017-08-122-0/+2
| | | | | | When encountering a question mark in a filespec being converted from Unix to VMS format, we were inadvertently adding an escaped space because of a missing break in a switch.

* (perl #131786) avoid a duplicate symbol error on _LIB_VERSIONTony Cook2017-08-102-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | For -flto -mieee-fp builds, the _LIB_VERSION definition in perl.c and in libieee conflict, causing a build failure. The test we perform in Configure checks only that such a variable exists (and is declared), it doesn't check that we can *define* such a variable, which the code in pp.c tried to do. So rather than trying to define the variable, just initialize it during our normal interpreter initialization.
* utf8.c: EBCDIC fixKarl Williamson2017-08-092-4/+7
| | | | | | | | Commit d819dc506b9fbd0d9bb316e42ca5bbefdd5f1d77 did not fully work. I switched the wrong thing that should have been in native vs Unicode/Latin1, and forgot to update the test file. Hopefully this is correct.

* test cv_[gs]et_call_checker_flags()Zefram2017-08-082-15/+42
|
* use cv_set_call_checker_flags() where possibleZefram2017-08-085-18/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Call checkers established by core code were being set through cv_set_call_checker(), so requiring GVs to be created in some cases where they could be avoided. Make all the checkers non-GV-namegv capable, and set them with cv_set_call_checker_flags(). The checkers for Devel::Peek::Dump() and utf8::{unicode_to_native,native_to_unicode}() were already fit to handle non-GV names, so required no changes. The checker for CORE:: subs, ck_entersub_args_core(), was naughtily using the name to decide which sub it was dealing with in some cases, so move that information into the ckobj that was already being used to identify the sub in most cases. It also required reformulation of some error reporting code to use cv_name().
* add cv_get_call_checker_flags()Zefram2017-08-084-31/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new cv_get_call_checker_flags() is the obvious counterpart to the existing cv_set_call_checker_flags(), which was added without providing any public way to retrieve the flag state. Not only does cv_get_call_checker_flags() return the CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV flag state, it also takes a flags parameter as an input, to allow for future expansion. The gflags input can at minimum be used for the caller to indicate which flags it understands, if more checker flags are added in the future, in case such flags are not ignorable in the way that CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV is. In this commit the gflags parameter is applied to indicate whether the caller understands the CALL_CHECKER_REQUIRE_GV flag, or more precisely (due to the funny inverted sense of the flag) whether it understands the flag being clear. This use of gflags isn't really necessary, but establishes the pattern of usage.
* Bump ExtUtils::Constant version to 0.24.Nicholas Clark2017-08-082-4/+2
| | | | | | | The Changes file is still horriby out of date, and the trickier-to-fix (or test) bugs remain open in RT, but it seems better to get a release out with the fixed bugs than delay it further whilst figuring out the cleanest way to fix the open bugs. The perfect is the enemy of the good.
* ExtUtils::Constant: Remove impediment to compiling under C++11Karl Williamson2017-08-081-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C++11 changed from earlier versions to require space between the end of a string literal and a macro, so that a feature can unambiguously be added to the language. Starting in g++ 6.2, the compiler emits a deprecation warning when there isn't a space (presumably so that future versions can support C++11). This commit fixes ExtUtils::Constant This patch also changes any affected lines that exceed 79 columns, as specified by perlhack. Code and modules included with the Perl core need to be compilable using C++. This is so that perl can be embedded in C++ programs. (Actually, only the hdr files need to be so compilable, but it would be hard to test that just the hdrs are compilable.) So we need to accommodate changes to the C++ language.
* EU::Constant: avoid 'uninit' warningDavid Mitchell2017-08-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code generated by ExtUtils::Constant can look something like: static int constant (..., IV *iv_return) { switch (...) { case ...: *iv_return = ...; return PERL_constant_ISIV; ... } } { int type; IV iv; type = constant(..., &iv); switch (type) { case PERL_constant_ISIV: PUSHi(iv); ... } } and the compiler isn't clever enough to realise that the value of iv is only used in the code path where its been set. So initialise it to zero to shut gcc up. Ditto nv and pv.
* ExtUtils::Constant - better machine code on threaded perlDaniel Dragan2017-08-081-10/+8
| | | | | | | | | | croak doesnt require a context param to be pushed on the c stack, Perl_croak does, since Perl_croak/croak is very rarily called, minimize the machine code of the error branches don't do dTHX in thread aware XS code, this just sets up another my_perl var for the scope of const-xs BOOT sum masking the original declared my_perl in the outer C scope
* Typo fixes.Nicholas Clark2017-08-082-5/+6
| | | | | Spotted by dsteinbrunner@pobox.com, reported as CPAN #85527. However, I think that the "to to" should be "to do", not "to".
* Avoid compiler warnings due to mismatched types in *printf format strings.Robin Barker2017-08-081-3/+4
| | | | | | | | gcc (and probably others) was warning about a mismatch for between `int` (implied by the format %d) and the actual type passed, `line_t`. Avoid this by explicitly casting to UV, and using UVuf. CPAN #63832
* regen/op_private: remove sassign special-casingDavid Mitchell2017-08-081-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Since v5.25.5-46-g1257c08, sassign has been correctly listed in regen/opcodes as a binary op ('2') rather than as a base op, so there's no need to special-case it in regen/op_private any more. This commit makes no functional changes, because since v5.25.5-46-g1257c08, $args2{sassign} was redundantly getting set to a true value twice, which was harmless. Now it only gets set once.
