* We now support building with Visual Studio 2017 (VC++ 14.1)Steve Hay2017-08-291-9/+10
| | | | | | | (Support was added by commits 58998b2a91, 82cad14406, 74102a88af and 88b1365899.) (cherry picked from commit d8efeb4672ed789e8b5d885676607ec8487984d5)

* Add support for VS2015 (VC++ 14.0)Steve Hay2017-02-191-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to the rewritten CRT in this version of Visual C++ it is no longer possible (or at least not at all easy) to make use of the ioinfo struct, which commit b47a847f62 (re-)introduced in order to fix RT#120091/118059. Therefore, we effectively revert commit b47a847f62 for VS2015 onwards on the basis that being able to build with VS2015 onwards is more important than the RT#120091/118059 bug fix. This does unfortunately mean that perls built with <=VS2013 will not be compatible with perls built with >=VS2015, but they may well not have been compatible anyway because of the CRT rewrite, and certainly wouldn't be compatible if perl builds with VS2015 were not supported! See RT#125714 for more discussion about this.

* add MSVC support to win32/GNUmakefileDaniel Dragan2016-01-251-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | -copy things from makefile.mk to GNUmakefile -rework CFG_VARS to escape "s. Previously on gmake GCC builds, all "s inside the CFG_VARS vars were dropped from Config_heavy.pl due to command line parsing (dmake uses --cfgsh-option-file and a temp file, nmake escapes). Due to gmake's very poor temp file handling, keep it as a cmd line and dont convert it to a temp file. What vars to escape was modeled on the nmake makefile.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -.UPDATEALL is dmake only, doesn't exist in gmake, create more targets instead GNUmakefile:1319: warning: overriding recipe for target '.UPDATEALL' GNUmakefile:1024: warning: ignoring old recipe for target '.UPDATEALL' -fix ok/nok targets on dmake and gmake -dont delete old mini config.h, the copy overwrites it, for dmake and gmake 1 less process to run this way -modify whitespace and comments between 2 makesfiles so there are less delta lines if the 2 are diffed, this aids in diagnostics -remove perlmainst.c/perlmain.c build products, just use runperl.c directly 1 less disk file to create and later clean and git status and 2 less nodes in the make graph to traverse, also better for C debugger, since "runperl.c" is around after a git clean of the source tree, and runperl.c is in every single callstack in perl. -remove copying mini config.h to CORE dir, pointless since (mini) config.h isn't an input to config_h.PL, remove the exit 1 from commit 137443ea0a from 5.003, rewriting config.h is not a reason to stop the build with a fatal error, vivify CORE dir or else sub copy() fails -deshell UNIDATAFILES/mktables, 1 less cmd.exe process and 1 less .bat file written to disk for gmake (dmake always uses cmd.exe ATM) -combining mini config.h AKA $(MINIDIR)\.exists shell append lines is for another commit -perlglob.exe is not installed, it doesn't need to be rebased, it is only needed for module building, removing the dep makes the dep graph simpler -rename PERLIMPLIB so the lib is built in its final location in CORE dir this removes an extra xcopy process run. Since perl dll's .a/.lib is not longer in the root of the source tree, change the 2 tests and ExtUtils::CBuilder::Platform::Windows to look at the uninstalled final location dir, not the root dir -fix typo 0.282224->0.280224 in dist/ExtUtils-CBuilder/Changes -for GCC PERLEXPLIB must be used, passing "perldll.def" on cmd line to g++ means all data globals with EXTCONST are exported (which have dllexport on their declaration) instead of just what is in perldll.def and globvar.sym, INTERN/EXTERN.h could be revised to fix that, but I am not doing that at this time. Also drop linking GCC perl523.dll from 3 processes to just 1 process like with VC builds. Removing 2nd run of dlltool fixes a race condition where libperl523.a was generated twice. This caused a race condition failure where linking a XS DLL failed because the GCC linker of the XS DLL saw a partially written libperl523.a. -Relocation was tested with $(LINK32) -v -mdll -o $@ -Wl,--disable-auto-image-base -Wl,--image-base -Wl,0x400000 $(BLINK_FLAGS) $(PERLDLL_OBJ) $(shell @type Extensions_static) $(LIBFILES) $(PERLEXPLIB) to g++ linker to force an address conflict and verified with VMMap (unrelocated perl523.dll has ~40KB private memory, relocated has ~240KB private memory on Win 7 32b), historically there are problems with dllexport and dlltool and relocation problems with mingw -$(COREDIR)\ppport.h in gmake is separate lines since gmake normally launches processes directly, not through the shell, so it is more efficent to keep it as multiple lines for gmake, while dmake likes to burn CPU and IO between each line, and runs each line through cmd.exe -disable parallel building in make_ext.pl by not passing MAKEFLAGS env var to any subprocess, EUMM is not ready for parallelness inside a module building on Win32 -have harness proc and child .t procs share same disk perl.exe and perl523.dll files, this way they share memory pages, makefile.mk does the same thing

* add Win32 USE_NO_REGISTRY build optionDaniel Dragan2015-10-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -the first arg of win32_get_privlib is not used if the registry is not queried, create a macro to allow the arg to drop out on WIN32_NO_REGISTRY builds for efficiency and not to have unused C litteral strings in the binary -This patch changes the ABI of PerlEnv_lib_path/PerlEnvLibPath/win32_get_privlib between USE_NO_REGISTRY and no USE_NO_REGISTRY. Since win32_get_privlib is not exported from perl523.dll, assume it and PerlEnv_lib_path are not public API, note technically PerlEnv_lib_path will be callable only on PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS builds, on no PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS builds it will fail at link time since win32_get_privlib isnt exported. Therefore place it in non-[affecting]-binary compatibility even though it does affect binary compatibility. -delay load advapi32.dll to save startup time (loading the DLL and the DLL calling its initializers in DllMain) and one 4 KB memory page for advapi32's .data section (doing "perl -E"sleep 100" on WinXP shows advapi32 has a 20KB long .data section, first 4 KB are unique to the process, the remaining 16KB are COW shared between processes according to vmmap tool), putting a DebugBreak() in pp_getlogin and doing a "nmake all" shows miniperl never calls getlogin during the build process. An nmake test shows only ext/POSIX/t/wrappers.t and lib/warnings.t execute pp_getlogin. Keeping advapi32.dll out of the perl process requires removing comctl32.dll, since comctrl32.dll loads advapi32.dll, from perl which I always do as a custom patch. filed as [perl #123658] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* stop checking the Win32 registry if *"/Software/Perl" doesn't existDaniel Dragan2015-10-121-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This stops each ENV var lookup (and 16 calls to get_regstr, most of which are %ENV lookups, are done automatically each time a Win32 Perl process starts) from querying the registry for usually failing lookups. ActiveState is the only known major user of the Software/Perl reg key. details: -cache the root handles, so a typically failing env var lookup does only 1 system call instead of 3 if the parent key exists -if the key exists, looking it up is slightly faster since it is 4 registry syscall instead of previously 6 (open "*\Software\Perl", 2 RegQueryValueExAs(on "found" behavior each RegQueryValueExA does 2 RegQueryValueExW calls), close "*\Software\Perl") -dont make a system call to lookup a value if the parent key doesn't exist -change "Software\\Perl" to "SOFTWARE\\Perl" since the reg is case preserving but lookups are not case sensitive, this all caps casing is what regedit shows, and might save a couple cpu cycles in the DB lookup in the kernel -use RegOpenKeyExW instead of RegOpenKeyEx (actually RegOpenKeyExA), this avoids ansi to utf16 conversions at runtime -dont check HKEY handles for NULL before calling RegCloseKey. MS and ReactOS RegCloseKey checks for NULL (zero) handle first thing and returns ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE as the retval of RegCloseKey. MS App Verifier does not complain about NULL handles. -Dont check the retval of RegCloseKey, there is no way to dispatch an error at this point in the process, there are no interps, and no perlio, and maybe no console if its a GUI, and the process is probably exiting anyway. Calling Perl_noperl_die (no perl, no perlio, print to stderr) would not be friendly to an embedder. A crash box with RaiseException with EXCEPTION_INVALID_HANDLE is a bad UI. -Dont bother to zero the HKEY handles, after a PERL_SYS_TERM until the next (if any) PERL_SYS_INIT3, libperl is in an undefined state, it is the embedders responsibility to refcount and serialize calls to PERL_SYS_INIT3/PERL_SYS_TERM if necessary See details in [perl #123658]
* Win32 misc parallel fixes in win32/makefile.mkDaniel Dragan2015-09-171-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -reonly/Extensions_reonly target, which is never used, didn't work in parallel because it was using left to right execution of an upstream dep to create build products, that is incompatible with parallel building, fix by trimming down the list of deps, $(UNIDATAFILES) and Extensions_reonly know how to build themselves -regnodes psuedotarget is redundant, it is just an alias for ..\regnodes.h which isn't a build product, remove regnodes and just use ..\regnodes.h instead, smaller build graph/less parsing for dmake tool -I am not questioning relationship between reonly, ..\regnodes.h, ..\regcharclass.h, ..\regcomp.o, $(UNIDATAFILES), Extensions_reonly since regnodes.h and regcharclass.h are git tracked files and not build products, and things work well enough as is -perlglob.exe is needed to build extensions, the natural race conditions that exist in parallel building ment that it was usually getting built early enough that it being missing wasn't noticed, and "rebasePE" target made sure it existed eventually. Some Makefile.PLs indirectly warned that perlglob was missing from the cmd.exe complaining about perlglob being missing but didnt cause an non-zero to happen from the Makefile.PL process. Also since perlglob.exe is installed into the final installed perl, probably pointlessly since full perl is not built with PERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB I think an installed perl's perlglob.exe was being used when I developed commit 3bdc51af3f and related patches. Since re, DynaLoader, and lib are a very limited fixed list of modules, and they dont need perlglob.exe, they dont need to get it as a dep. -reorder the deps in Extensions_static and Extensions_nonxs so permanent files, rarely changed files are on the left side, and build products are on the right. Maybe some kind of optimization happens inside dmake due to the first couple deps being already built (because they are permanent). -remove ..\lib\buildcustomize.pl dep, it is redundant. Its other name is HAVEMINIPERL, and CONFIGPM can't exist without miniperl. Less nodes in dmake's internal graph, since dmake's dep finding algorithm is very inefficient and repetitive. -gmake is supported since commit 342634f3c8 but GNUmakefile doesn't support parallel (-j) building
* add parallel support 4 Win32 dmake building part 1Daniel Dragan2015-09-071-12/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -if building a 32 bit Perl, with a 64bit dmake, force PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE to x86, otherwise the next couple macros will try to build a 64 bit perl with 32 bit CCs -PDBOUT is required to run multiple VC cl.exe processes, otherwise all VC cl.exe processes will error out trying to lock and write to a file called "vc*0.pdb", PDBOUT is empty for GCC builds since they dont have PDB files -to reduce excess IO calls checking for miniperl.exe plus remove a "Found file corresponding to virtual target" warning that dmake emits, make this makefile unaware that miniperl.exe exists. dmake has a very bad exponential number of IO/stat() calls for every target that is yet unbuilt, see procmon logs in [perl #123854], so instead of a stat on ../miniperl.exe, then ../lib/buildcustomize.pl, it will be just a stat on ../lib/buildcustomize.pl -remove makefile awareness of ..\lib\Config_heavy.pl, if ..\lib\Config_heavy.pl is ever updated, so is ..\lib\Config.pm less IO calls for dmake, see also commit 962e59f394 -to break up the sequential nature of this makefile, allow (XS) Extensions to build, before (AKA parallel with) perl5**.dll and perl.exe are built. This is achieved by running makedef.pl very early, and generating perl5**.lib/libperl5**.a from the def file, and NOT generating perl5**.lib/libperl5**.a from perl5**.dll at link time of perl5**.dll. The conquence of this is, declspec(dllexport) is now unusable, but exports should be centrally managed anyways (embed.fnc/etc) so this isn't a big issue. -EUMM makefiles shouldn't be subject to parallelism, untested and disable for now, plus creating PLMAKE allows "dmake -n" to work for diagnosing this makefile -slim down all target. Extensions* and UNIDATAFILES now know how to build themselves, the parallel nature says you can't rely on left to right execution of deps in a parent node to make a child (dep) node build -miniperl.exe used to be unbuildable from a clean tree except from all target, since miniperl.exe didn't depend on mini config.h. Also mini dir can't be a target, since each .obj built will dirty the mini dir's time stamp and infinite loop happens, instead use a .exists file -dmake rescans for all outstanding targets, at each recipe line to run, this early in the build process, there are an enormous amount of files to test for, so the echos are very slow, 350ms each, so combine as many of the lines of mini/.exists AKA mini config.h together as possible. ".IF" can't be put inside "one line", so not all lines were merged. Shell "if" could be used to further group the echos but this enough to make the pause /cpu spining not really noticable. USE_CPLUSPLUS contains an unrolled line (the #endif) on both sides. See also procmon logs in [perl #123854] -perllib.obj/.o needs perllibst.h which is built by miniperl+a script, perllibst.h target doesn't need any Extensions*, so perllib.obj is still quick to build -perldll.def doesn't need perllibst.h since makedef.pl uses $Config{static_ext} to find boot xsubs to export, makedef.pl does not read perllibst.h, remove perllibst.h for more parallelism/less things to build before perldll.def runs, and therefore Extensions (XS) starts to run quicker, and Extensions (XS) is the longest target to build -perlmain and perlmainst .obj/.o needs full perl headers to compile, they aren't like generate_uudmap.exe and perlglob.exe which are perlapi unaware -perl.exe doesn't need perl5**.dll to build, just the imp lib to perl5**.dll, perl.exe is in the same category as XS modules, more parallelism -ppport.h isn't needed in blead perl, since blead is the newest perl in the world, this allows Extensions (XS) to run sooner, ppport.h is replaced by a dummy empty file, delete ppport.h from final installed CORE dir during installation so the dummy ppport.h doesn't wind up in installed perl and isnt seen by CPAN XS modules during their building by the perl user after perl was build and installed, note mkppport script and mkppport.lst are unused in makefile.mk now -break up the dependencies of all the Extensions* targets, static (just Win32CORE normally), dynamic XS and non-XS, these 3 run in parallel now, non-XS doesn't need perl5**.lib/.a or any C headers, just PP Config.pm -DLL XS requires PP DynaLoader.pm for dl_findfile() otherwise Mkbootstrap.pm fatally errors, Mkbootstrap.pm could be revised to not load DynaLoader on Win32, since " if ($Config{'dlsrc'} =~ /^dl_dld/){" is false, but this is the easier path right now -DynaLoader requires module lib to build itself, but Extensions_nonxs happens to not need mod lib, so move where mod lib is built -in utils target, change it so it can run with miniperl, more parallelism, pl2bat doesn't require full perl, the full perl stuff is from commit 3fe9a6f19e from 5.003 and no ML archive is available to explain why full perl was used instead of mini perl -add 4 modules to buildcustomize so nonxs and xs build simultaneously -remove ancient cruft from commit 26618a56da from 1997 from README.w32 dmake is automatically set inside CFG_VARS today. OSRELEASE is irrelavent today, Perl doesn't use any of the defaults (like name of CC) from the maketool. -Reduce 21 calls of "cmd.exe /x/d/c cd" by miniperl to just 1 by saving and reusing cwd. This reduced the amount of time to run "..\miniperl.exe -I..\lib -f ..\write_buildcustomize.pl .." from 312 ms to 62 ms elapsed time using timeit.exe for me.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first two happened when in BST but don't happen now, back in GMT; but lib/File/Copy.t now fails instead! This is all due to _utime() being broken in VC++ 2013's CRT. Microsoft have acknowledged there is a regression from previous versions of the CRT in a support ticket that I logged with them, and will publish a Knowledge Base article about it in due course. (Users can workaround it by using the Win32::UTCFileTime module on CPAN, which exists to fix other (long-standing) issues with _stat() and _utime(), but also fixes this new breakage too.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two tests (t/io/fs.t and cpan/HTTP-Tiny/t/110_mirror.t) fail on my system, currently in Daylight Saving Time, both due to times written/read by utime()/stat() being off by one hour... Not sure what the issue is yet, but I've reproduced it in this C program: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/utime.h> void main(void) { struct _utimbuf ut; struct _stat st; time_t t; t = 760060800; printf("Setting: %ld\n", t); ut.actime = t; ut.modtime = t; if (_utime("test.c", &ut) == -1) { perror("_utime failed\n"); return; } if (_stat("test.c", &st) != 0) { perror("_stat failed\n"); return; } printf(" atime: %ld\n", st.st_atime); printf(" mtime: %ld\n", st.st_mtime); } which outputs Setting: 760060800 atime: 760057200 mtime: 760057200 with VC++ 2013, instead of Setting: 760060800 atime: 760060800 mtime: 760060800 like Visual C++ 6.0 through 2012 all do.

* [perl #91354] win32/makefile.mk needs patching for gcc-4.x.xSisyphus2011-05-221-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current win32/makefile.mk wants us to edit it when we are using the gcc-4.x.x compiler. Firstly, we have to signify that we are using gcc-4.x.x, then we have to nominate (from a supplied list) the name of the helper dll that needs to be copied to the t folder (in order that the taint.t tests can pass). The supplied list of candidates is deficient - the name of the helper dll from one of my gcc compilers is not listed there. Also, I'm now finding that a second dll (libstdc++-6.dll) needs to be copied to the t folder - otherwise the taint.t test still crashes. The attached makefile.mk patch addresses these issues in such a way that we don't have to do any editting (re the using of gcc-4.x.x) of the makefile.mk at all. There's a small discussion about this on the p5p mailing list in the thread "win32/makefile.mk patch" (15 may 2011). This change to the makefile.mk means that README.win32 needs a slight modification - and the attached README.win32 patch addresses that issue. The README.win32 patch also alters the link to the 64-bit (mingw64) compiler made available by kmx. This has nothing to do with the subject of this bug report, but I don't see why that correction to the link (as suggested to me by kmx, in private correspondence) can't be made.

| | | | | Also add a couple of things to win32/makefile.mk which were only previously applied to win32/Makefile
* Don't mention Activeware Perl versionsJan Dubois2010-08-061-21/+0
| | | | | | All Win32::* modules on CPAN now build with standard toolchain commands; there is no need for "porting" or special build instructions anymore.
* Drop references to obsolete MinGW 1.x (gcc 2.95)Jan Dubois2010-08-061-48/+5
| | | | | | | There are know issues with that compiler versions, and the necessary fixes are no longer readily available, so stop claiming this is still a supported compiler. Just require gcc 3.2.x or later everywhere for MinGW support.
