* [differences between cumulative patch application and perl5.004_01]perl-5.004_01Tim Bunce1997-06-111-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | [editor's note: The changes between this and 5.004 were processed from the m1t2 release, which was a bad idea as it was the _01 release which had the final corrected attributions. The differences between the various m*t* releases do that; I considered it most valuable just to look at the _NN releases. Many patches have been separated out and/or applied from the p5p archives nonetheless.]

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [editor's note: no patch file was found for this release, so no fine-grained changes] I can't find the password for our ftp server, so I had to drop it into ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/incoming/perl5.002b3.tar.gz, which is a drop directory you can't ls. The current plan is that Andy is gonna whack on this a little more, and then release a gamma in a few days when he's happy with it. So don't get carried away. This is now *late* beta. In other words, have less than the appropriate amount of fun. :-) Larry

This is a consolidation patch. It contains many of the most commonly applied or agreed-to patches that have been circulating since patch.1m. It also changes the 'unofficial patchlevel' in perl.c. There are some problems (see items marked with '***'). I will attempt to address those in a patch.1o in a few days. This patch contains the following packages: My Jumbo Configure patch vs. 1m, with subsequent patches 1, 2, and 3. Mainly, this provides easier use of local libraries, documents the installation process in a new INSTALL file, moves important questions towards the beginning, and improves detection of signal names (mostly for Linux). xsubpp-1.922. Patches from Larry: eval "1" memory leak patch (as modified by GSAR to apply to 5.001m). NETaa14551 Infinite loop in formats, NETaa13729 scope.c patch (fixed problems on AIX and others) NETaa14138 "substr() & s///" (pp_hot.c) Patches from ftp.perl.com: ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/closure-bug.patch, version of 20 Sep 1995 Includes fix for NETaa14347 (32k limit in regex), and other fixes. ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/debugger.patch, version of 27 Aug 1995 ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/glob-undef.patch, version of 4 Sep 1995 NETaa14421 $_ doesn't undef ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/op-segfault.patch, version of 21 Aug 1995 ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/warn-ref-hash-key.patch, version of 5 Jun 1995 Tim Bunce's Jumbo DynaLoader patch for Perl5.001m, which is NETaa14636 Jumbo DynaLoader patch for Perl5.001m, and Additional patch for NETaa14636 Jumbo DynaLoader patch for Perl5.001m version of 09 Oct 1995. ***This needs some additional parentheses.*** MakeMaker-5.00. Supercedes NETaa13540 (VMS MakeMaker patches). (Updates minimod.PL as well.) ***This has a couple of minor problems. pod2man is run even if it isn't available. LD_RUN_PATH gets set to some mysterious values.*** NETaa14657 Paul Marquess Net::Ping patch. I've included Net-Ping-1.00. NETaa14661 Dean Roehrich DProf. Installed as ext/Devel/DProf. Configure should pick this up automatically. (5 Apr 1995 version.) NETaa13742 Jack Shirazi Socket in 5.001. I've also included his socket.t test in t/lib/socket.t. c2ph-1.7. Dean's perlapi patches of Oct 12, 1995, which superceded those of Oct 8, 1995. This is the one that did mv perlapi.pid perlxs.pod. NETaa14310 Tim Bunce A trivial patch for configpm (handy for shell scripts) DB_File-1.0 patch from Paul Marquess (pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk) last modified 7th October 1995 version 1.0 Added or updated the following hints files: hints/hpux.sh hints/ncr_tower.sh hints/netbsd.sh hints/ultrix.sh Patch and enjoy.

After you apply this patch, I would recommend: rm config.sh sh Configure [whatever options you use] make depend make make test Here are the highlights: All pod documentation now installed, along with corresponding man pages, if possible (Configure allows you to change this). cppstdin no longer points back to the build directory. This necessitated two changes to the test suite: comp/cpp.t is now a front end that punts if cppstdin is not yet available (the old perl4 trick doesn't work for perl5). The op/misc.t test ./perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' has been dropped since I couldn't think of an elegant way to bypass it for systems that need the cppstdin wrapper. Grand autoload patch included (minus the installperl, lib/, and ext/ changes). The lib/ changes are in patch.1g, and the ext/ changes are in patch.1h. Better detection and use of stdio variants, especially on SVR4. Sarathy's consolidated patches (for ties) included. New filter stuff included. Three patches from Larry (gv.c, toke.c, pp_ctl.c) Patch and enjoy, Andy Dougherty doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu Dept. of Physics Lafayette College Easton, PA 18042 Here's the file-by-file breakdown of what's included: Changes.Conf Document changes in the Configure & build process. Configure Upgrade to metaconfig PL55. Add /opt hierarchy to paths searched for programs. Tye McQueen's updated std stdio testing. Prompting for installation info for perl module pages. Add possible SITELIB to include site-specific include directories. By default this is disabled, but it seemed a neat idea now that the standard perl library is getting so big. Check that the compiler chosen exists and actually supports the options the user specified. Correctly sort multiple shared library version numbers. Use a compile & link test for gconvert(), dlopen(), and dlerror(). Do not include build directory name in cppstdin wrapper. MANIFEST Updated. Makefile.SH Reorganized a bit to support separate install.perl and install.man targets to use the new installman script and to accomodate those who don't want to install the man pages. Organize cleanup of .SH files a little better. No longer automatically make the pod/*.man files. This is done by installman only if requested. Include additional error messages and info for regenerating the automatically maintained header files. Add 'minitest' target. README Updated. README.vms Fix perl5-porters subscription info. config_H Updated. config_h.SH Updated. configpm Embedded pod. configure GNU configure-like front end to metaconfig's Configure. Only supports a few options. doio.c Updated to use new std stdio testing. embed.h Add new symbols for filtering. global.sym see embed.h. gv.c C<sub method;> patch from lwall. hints/README.hints Updated. hints/aux.sh Updated. hints/cxux.sh Updated. hints/epix.sh New file. hints/freebsd.sh Updated. hints/irix_4.sh Updated. hints/irix_5.sh Updated. hints/irix_6.sh Updated. hints/linux.sh Updated. hints/powerunix.sh Updated. installman New file to install pod/*.pod and lib/*.p(m|od) man pages. installperl Move installation of man pages over to installman script. Install pod/*.pod files in $privlib/pod/. Preserve timestamps on .a files. makedepend.SH Now includes . and .. in PATH to explicitly find cppstdin wrapper. opcode.h opcode.pl shmwrite fix. perl.c Changed unofficial patchlevel message. Included optional SITELIB directory. perl.h #include <memory.h> cryptswitch gone/filters added. EUNICE replaced by UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS. Only matters for VMS. perldoc.SH New file. pod/perl.pod Describe where modpods are. pp_ctl.c sort bug fix from lwall. pp_hot.c csh glob bug fix from tchrist. Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey pp_sys.c Emulate flock with lockf, if possible. Use new std stdio unit. proto.h Filters stuff. prototype for unlnk() is only needed #if UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS sv.c Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey Sarathy's consolidated patch for nested ties. Use new std stdio unit. t/comp/cpp.aux New file. This only gets called if cppstdin is avaiable. t/comp/cpp.t Calls cpp.aux test only if cppstdin is available. t/op/misc.t Drop perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' test. it couldn't work on systems without the cppstdin wrapper installed, and is usually misleading when it fails anyway. toke.c filter stuff. fix for NETaa13798 from lwall. unixish.h undef UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS since it's irrelevant for unix. util.c s/EUNICE/UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS/ for the unlnk() function. vms/config.vms VMS updates from Charles Bailey. std stdio updates to match changes in perl sources. add UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS constant, but leave it #undef. vms/ext/MM_VMS.pm vms/ext/VMS/stdio/stdio.xs vms/perlvms.pod vms/vms.c VMS updates from Charles Bailey. x2p/Makefile.SH Updated to match man page Configure questions. Slight clean-up on .SH targets. x2p/str.c Use new std stdio unit.

Fix overlapping memcpy test. Add check for ld. Use $cc instead, if on an ELF system. With -d, don't reuse config.sh unless $myuname matches. Warn more explicitly about changing compilers before reloading old config.sh. Detect Linux ELF format in nm scan. Better detection of d_castneg. (ISC 4.1 was passing the test, but couldn't cast in an argument list.) Suggest -fpic for dynamic loading if you're using GNU CC under any name. No longer test for byacc, fmod, or drem, since they are not used. Makefile.SH Use $ld, not ld (only matters for SVR4) Silence some byacc-related harmless error messages. README Suggest using -Dcc=gcc (or whatever). Warn about reusing old config.sh. (The warning was already there in 5.001; I've just expanded it a little.) Warn against using GNU as and GNU ld on SunOS & Solaris. config.H config_h.SH Updated to match Configure. doio.c Add socket includes. ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.xs Fix typo: s/SETFL/F_SETFL/; handy.h Check _G_HAVE_BOOL, not just if it's defined. hints/dynix.sh hints/hpux_9.sh hints/linux.sh hints/netbsd.sh hints/titanos.sh Updated. ELF on linux should probably work. installperl Install pod2html, pod2latex, and pod2man. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Updated to 4.091. (4.09 + a small writedoc() patch.) myconfig Now includes 'ld' command. perl.c Revised an #elif clause since Pyramid's cpp doesn't understand #elif. perl.h Fix U_L, I_V, and I_32 cast macros to ensure that the cast_ulong(), cast_iv(), and cast_i32() functions (if used) are passed a double. In particular, the FIXSTATUS macros were handing int's to U_L(). Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD testing (See util.c). proto.h Remove my_fmod() prototype. (See util.c) sv.h Fix GV/CV typo. util.c Simplified cast_i32() and cast_iv() to mimic what *actually* happens on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.3. (Previously, they did some complicated fmod() calculation. I've since discovered that's not what happens on the SPARC.) With this change, fmod() is no longer necessary. Hence my_fmod is removed. This also means the HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM tests are no longer needed in Configure, so they are gone too. vms/config.vms Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM defines. x2p/Makefile.SH Silence byacc-related things.

* perl5.000 patch.0m: [various fixes, hint file updates and documentation]Andy Dougherty1995-02-271-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is my patch patch.0m for perl5.000. This patch fixes all remaining problems that I am aware of, and for which I have a solution. It also updates some hint files and documentation. Here's what's new: Configure Protect against spaces in uname -m output (unicos). Look in <stdlib.h> for malloctype and freetype. Check if user has void free() or int free(). Look in linux/signal.h for signal names. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Two new hint files: cxux.sh and PowerUNIX.sh. Sorted. README Indicate what gets installed and where it usually goes. Thanks to Hallvard B. Furuseth <h.b.furuseth@usit.uio.no> for suggesting this. U/Myinit.U Update extliblist comment. U/dist3_051.pat This file contains patches to dist 3 (PL 51) that I used to generate Configure for perl. U/mallocsrc.U Look in <stdlib.h> for malloctype and freetype. Check if user has void free() or int free(). config_h.SH config.H Add Free_t to handle void free() vs. int free(). ext/DynaLoader/README Updated comment. ext/POSIX/POSIX.pm creat() has 2 arguments, not 3 (thanks, Paul). ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs Fix return type of lseek. ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h Add I_STDLIB guard on #include <stdlib.h> ext/util/extliblist Add note indicating this is obsolete. Don't remove it because people might be using it for their own private extensions. hints/PowerUNIX.sh hints/cxux.sh New files. Written by Tom.Horsley@mail.hcsc.com hints/linux.sh Simplified. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Typo fixed, only affected aix? malloc.c Allow for possible int free(). perl.h pp_sys.c util.c If the user is not using vfork, move the #define vfork fork util after various #include files. Since vfork() and fork() might have different prototypes, the #define could cause a conflict in system header files. (Reported for 386bsd.) Makefile.SH make realclean will remove h2xs and makeaperl (but leave behind the .SH versions, of course).

This changed a variety of things, mostly related to selecting and changing the installation prefix. Handle csh, sed, and byacc no matter what the setting of d_portable. (This was causing glob problems in patch.0i). Set d_portable to default to 'y'. It doesn't matter anyway, but gives people a warm fuzzy feeling. Remove useless d_group and d_passwd tests. Add check for <sys/stat.h>. Improve & generalize AIX version detection. Consider /opt/man/man1 as a possible place to install man pages. Be a little more robust about OS version changes when deciding if the output of uname -a has really changed. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Added hints/mpeix.sh. README Tell users the Configure defaults are probably right. Makefile.SH Better detection of whether user has byacc. Use $(MAKE) instead of make. U/Loc_sed.U Works again with d_portable='define'. U/Myinit.U Set d_portable=define as default. U/d_byacc.U Detect whether user has byacc even if d_portable=define. U/d_csh.U Works again with d_portable='define'. U/d_group.U Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test. U/d_passwd.U Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test. U/dist.patch This file contains two minor updates to dist3 PL50 that were used to generage Configure. U/i_sysstat.U New test. See if sys/stat.h is available. config.H Updated. config_h.SH Updated to metaconfig patchlevel 50. ext/NDBM_File/Makefile.PL ext/ODBM_File/Makefile.PL Add -lucb for SVR4 systems. handy.h Protect agains g++-2.6.3, which predefines bool. g++ can be used to compile an extension, but not perl itself. Still, the extension will #include "perl.h", which eventually gets "handy.h", which #define's bool. If this happens to you, add -DHAS_BOOL to your ccflags in your extension, or else ensure that _G_config.h is #include'd before perl.h. (_G_config.h will define _G_HAVE_BOOL, if indeed your version of g++ has bool.) hints/aix.sh Updated. Handles AIX 3.2.x and 4.1. Comments included! hints/hpux_9.sh Updated. hints/irix_4.sh Updated. Includes comments for IRIX 4.0.4 hints/linux.sh Updated. Beginnings of ELF support added, but completely untested. hints/mpeix.sh New hint file. hints/solaris_2.sh Useless ccflags="$ccflags" line removed. hints/svr4.sh Updated. installperl Doesn't use Config anymore (it already reads config.sh directly. That's probably backwards, but, oh well. Install perl.exp for AIX. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Upgraded from 4.01 to 4.03. makedepend.SH Use $MAKE instead of plain make. Index: op.c Remove overlapping strcpy(). perl.h Add test for <sys/stat.h>. Delete unused VOIDSIG stuff. Delete unused typedef struct lstring Lstring; perl_exp.SH Add safexxxx calls. pp_sys.c Delete wayward break in HAS_ALARM section. proto.h Change true and false (!) in function prototypes to please g++-2.6.3, which has true and false built in. (See notes for handy.h.) Index: unixish.h Long-overdue housekeeping. HAS_GROUP and HAS_PASSWD are always defined. util.c Yet another (char*) cast for bcmp. vms/config.vms Changed comments to match unixish.h. writemain.SH Now correctly handles nested static extensions. Recent MakeMakers have moved where they get built. x2p/a2p.h More definitions that will doubtless cause trouble somewhere else. x2p/a2py.c x2p/walk.c Remove unprotected char *strchr();
* perl5.000 patch.0g: [various portability fixes, and use latest metaconfig ↵Andy Dougherty1995-01-181-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for Configure] This patch incorporates various portability fixes and uses the latest metaconfig to generate Configure (and config_h.SH). It would take a long time to summarize all that I've changed. I haven't included many code changes because I'm trying *not* to duplicate bug fixes Larry may already have applied. Here's an older description I prepared that's still mostly accurate: I've also included a few portability fixes in the main source, but these are certainly not a complete set of everything that's been reported. Don't be put off by the size of the patch. Mostly, it's just rearrangement of the parts in Configure and some cosmetic changes. Since gcc often supports long long, I had started to add quad support to Configure. Since SunOS 4.1.3 defines a conflicting "quad" structure, I changed the name from 'quad' to Quad_t, consistent with other Configure "types." I also changed "QUAD" to "HAS_QUAD". However, it turns out it's pretty hard to actually *use* Quad_t. Neither system I have access to can sprintf() a "long long", nor can they carry one around in an IV, unless I make IV "long long", which I didn't want to force generally. Thus I wonder whether any but a precious few could actually use Quad_t, and dropped the tests from Configure. I left in the s/quad/Quad_t/ and s/QUAD/HAS_QUAD/ stuff in case someone else wants to pick it up, and also because I was too lazy to take it back out :-). Some highlights: Configure Several new options. Use Configure -h to learn more. Also, read the directions Configure prints. :-) Spaces now allowed in -D command line options. New -O option that overrides config.sh. You can start interactively and then change that to accepting all the defaults by specifying &-d at any Configure prompt. This is useful if you have to re-run Configure to only change a few settings. Signal type set correctly for the cast{i32,neg} tests. archname detection improved a bit guard against ksh users who have set -u Oldconfig.U cleaned up and regularized a bit more. Guard against hint files using (and over-writing) $tmp. Command line options now are processed after metaconfig INIT lines. Thus things like Configure -Uuseposix should work now. Various miscellaneous clean-ups. better use/detection of tr. i_db.U now checks for hash and prefix type (I think!) I can't test it here. i_?db*.U now all check for an associated function before deciding to include or not the header. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Sorted & updated. Makefile.SH Some shells/makes bombed out on test -d lib/auto || mkdir lib/auto Use makedir instead. README Some additional notes that people won't read :-). cflags.SH Now calls $startsh. Weird things were happening on Intergraph, and this might be related. config.H Updated. config_h.SH Regenerated. deb.c Varargs dependencies on STANDARD_C replaced by I_STDARG. doop.c quad stuff. ext/DB_File/DB_File.xs Use the new DB_Hash_t and DB_Prefix_t symbols. ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h Fix #defines to be more robust. mg.c Replace VOIDSIG by metaconfig's Signal_t. opcode.h opcode.pl semop only takes 2 arguments, not 3. perl.c Better guard on getenv() prototype. A hint file can use this, if necessary. Me, I think some compilers are just too picky. perl.h The (very) beginnings of some Quad support. See above. Remove the very troublesome sprintf() prototype. Since we don't _use_ the return value anyway (since it's not portable) this should be o.k. The problem was that some systems CAN_PROTOTYPE but include char *sprintf(); in <stdio.h>. That's incompatible with the version we used to have in perl.h. Most people have a prototype for sprintf() in <stdio.h>. Those that don't probably can get by without it anyway. Protect the timesbuf by the specific HAS_TIMES test. Some older gcc-2.something/Solaris 2.something installations apparently don't have times. pp.c More quad stuff. pp_ctl.c s/STANDARD_C/I_STDARG/ for varargs stuff. pp_sys.c use Signal_t. proto.h Update to match new metaconfig names. util.c s/STANDARD_C/I_STDARG/ for varargs stuff. comment out <unistd.h>. A pause prototype was causing problems on some systems. vms/config.vms Changed to use Signal_t.
