* This is my patch patch.1i for perl5.001.Andy Dougherty1995-05-301-19/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To apply, change to your perl directory, run the commands above, then apply with patch -p1 -N < thispatch. 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/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).
* perl5.000 patch.0l: MakeMaker 4.085 and upgrade Configure to dist3 PL 51.Andy Dougherty1995-02-211-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here's what's new: Configure Generated by metaconfig PL 51. Correctly set ./mips on a MIPS system. Improved (we hope) handling of $archname. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Made .SH files out of h2xs and makeaperl so that they get the correct path-to-perl at the top. Makefile.SH Propagate $(perllib) to extensions. U/dist3_051.patches Two patches to apply on top of metaconfig PL 51. I've sent them off for inclusion in the next metaconfig update. config_h.SH config.H Regenerated. Only the order of elements has changed. ext/DB_File/Makefile.PL ext/GDBM_File/Makefile.PL ext/NDBM_File/Makefile.PL Add -L/usr/local/lib to LIBS variable. ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs Place #ifdef around FD_CLOEXEC (needed for Apollo). ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/Makefile.PL Simplified, thanks to MakeMaker enhancements. ext/util/make_ext Pass through $(perllib) argument for cflags. h2xs.SH Changed from h2xs to h2xs.SH. Now finds correct path to perl. hints/next_3_2.sh Updated for hppa. hints/solaris_2.sh Remove potentially problematic -lmalloc from $libswanted. hints/unicos.sh Look in /usr/include/rpcsvc for dbm.h. installperl Install h2xs. lib/Cwd.pm Use 'my' variable to avoid clobbering $_. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Upgraded from 4.06 to 4.085. Lots of documentation improvements. EXE_FILES to refer to an array of executable files to install. Reduce chatter during build process. Don't count a useful -L/path option as a successful search for a particular library. Cleanup handling of aix external symbols. Create/update perllocal.pod to indicate what we've done. makeaperl.SH Changed from makeaperl to makeaperl.SH. Now finds correct path to perl. x2p/util.c Delete unused setenv() and envix() functions. x2p/util.h Delete unused setenv() and envix() prototypes. vms/config.vms Define I_SYS_STAT and I_SYS_TYPES.
* perl5.000 patch.0k: MakeMaker 4.06 and to fix minor portability and build ↵Andy Dougherty1995-02-111-17/+16

In a rare act of prescience, I've also fixed some un-reported bugs. Specifically, there were several places where Configure said you could specify things using ~name notation, but, in fact, you couldn't. In detail, here's what's included: Configure Check I_SYS_TYPES for x2p/a2p.h Improve and generalize $osvers detection for DEC Alpha (now will work even for osvers > 3.) No longer override hint-file setting of $archname. Don't tell users ~name is ok for Dynamic loading file. It's not. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Updated. Makefile.SH Some trailing ' ' removed from lines. New target lib/ExtUtils/Miniperl.pm built. This stashes away miniperlmain.c in the library so new static extensions can be built away from the source tree. Minor cleanup. U/Oldconfig.pat.2 This is a patch to be applied against dist-PL 50 to upgrade the DEC OSF/1 version detection. U/archlib.U Preserve previous value for $archname. Otherwise this is identical to the unit in dist-PL 50. U/dlsrc.U Users may not use ~name notation to find the dynamic loading module. (Back in early alpha days they could, but that hasn't worked since the DynaLoader module was introduced. config.H Updated. config_h.SH Updated. hints/dec_osf.sh Updated. Simplified. Don't use ld -no_archive (at least as the default). It only worked because some versions *ignored* it. hints/mpeix.sh Add a few comments. I should have added more. hints/next_3_0.sh New hint file from Kevin White <klwhite@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> hints/ultrix_4.sh Separate out flags not appropriate for gcc. installperl Install sperl.o. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Upgraded from 4.03 to 4.06. Many improvements. Now possible to build and install new extensions outside the source tree, for both static and dynamic loading. lib/File/Path.pm New. Creates or removes a series of directories makeaperl New utility to create a new perl binary from static extensions minimod.PL New. minimod.PL writes the contents of miniperlmain.c into the module ExtUtils::Miniperl for later perusal (when the perl source is deleted) perl.c ARCHLIB and PRIVLIB changed to ARCHLIB_EXP and PRIVLIB_EXP, since perl is not prepared to deal with ~name expansion. The _EXP variables are pre-expanded by Configure. proto.h NeXt 3.0 couldn't handle the #ifdef __attribute line. It said 'illegal #ifdef'. vms/config.vms s/ARCHLIB/ARCHLIB_EXP/; s/PRIVLIB/PRIVLIB_EXP/; Add in I_SYS_STAT and I_SYS_TYPES, since the source now looks for them. vms/ext/MM_VMS.pm New file. x2p/a2p.h Include <sys/types.h>

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();

Fix various bonehead errors I introduced in patches a-g. 2. Incorporate MakeMaker changes to bring it up to version 4.01 (mostly). 3. Stick in things I forgot in patches a-g (e.g. AIX). 4. Some minor additional cleanup in x2p/ for even pickier compilers. 5. More hints updates (hpux and next). 6. Include newest dl_hpux.xs. I didn't have time to 1. Fix the overlapping strcpy() in op.c 2. Restore h2xs to Larry's original design to process <>. 3. take out unnecessary "use Config" in installperl. 4. Add in vms patches. I forgot to [If I remembered what i forgot, I wouldn't have forgotten it. :] I deliberately decided *not* to 1. Touch pod/* 2. deal with overloading Specifically, here's what's included: Configure Regenerated to be sure it's up-to-date. Makefile.SH Build extension libraries right into lib/auto/whatever. Don't set CCCDLFLAGS since we don't use it anyway. Take care to avoid modifying lib/Config.pm without reason Visit DynaLoader for `make clean'. (Previously only did so for `make realclean'.) @echo "Note that make realclean does not delete config.sh" Include config.h dependency. U/i_db.U config_h.SH config.H Remove unwanted quotes around db_hashtype and db_prefixtype. configpm Allow specification of alternate name for lib/Config.pm, so the makefile mv-if-diff trick saves needless re-making. ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.pm Updated warning messages and comments. ext/DynaLoader/dl_hpux.xs Updated to version 2.1. Now uses bootstrap files. ext/util/make_ext Explicitly use #!/bin/sh to start it up. This is useful for testing make_ext. Improve & simplify Nested::Extension::Processing. More robust handling of `make clean'. hints/hpux_9.sh Support both the bundled and unbundled compilers. hints/next_3_2.sh Back to using -posix rather than POSIX_SOURCE. And that only for ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs. installperl Special ranlib treatment for NeXT, which gets confused about timestamps in libraries, even when you just copy the library. Supply missing '$' in samepath() function. lib/AutoSplit.pm New parameters. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Upgraded from 3.8 to 4.01. lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp Documentation changed from man to pod. lib/Getopt/Long.pm Avoid typo warning. Drop unused $optx. lib/Text/Tabs.pm Fix package name. makedepend.SH Explicitly start with $startsh. Catch cpp that prints # <stdin> instead of line numbers. perl.h Fix bonehead mistake that ended up calling my_fmod even if not needed. perl_exp.SH also add symbols from interp.sym proto.h Delete 2 redundant prototypes (newBINOP and newUNOP). util.c Add (char *) casts to unsigned char args to bcmp. x2p/a2p.h Rearrange order of <string?.h> and bcopy & bzero stuff. Change a few function prototypes to void, to reflect actual usage. x2p/a2py.c Change a few function types to void, to reflect actual usage. x2p/handy.h Make *alloc declarations match those in x2p/util.c. x2p/util.c Make *alloc declarations match those in x2p/handy.h. x2p/walk.c Add a (Size_t) cast for comparison of 1 to the result of strlen().

* perl5.000 patch.0g: [various portability fixes, and use latest metaconfig ↵Andy Dougherty1995-01-181-226/+246
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Many of the tests that used to simply force a decision now check that decision against the previous value of the variable, and offer to let you change it. The default now is to keep the old value, so that you don't lose information from your previous run. Because of this, it's now more important to know whether, in fact, config.sh was produced on this machine and on this version of the operating system. config.sh now contains a lastuname variable which contains the output of uname -a. If this matches the current output of uname -a, Configure defaults to including the old config.sh. Otherwise not. If there is no valid config.sh, then Configure looks defaults for the current architecture in the hints/ subdirectory instead. The guesswork I've done in this section of code is phenomenal, so you'll have to instruct me where I've misparsed the output of uname (a problem in portability all of its own). Subject: Configure now differentiates getgroups() type from getgid() type Subject: Configure now figures out malloc ptr type Subject: Configure now does better on sprintf() Configure was assuming that the array of values returned from getgroups was the same type as the gids returned by other system calls. Unfortunately, reality set in. Likewise for malloc() and sprintf(), which there is only one portable way to find out the return value of: try it one way or the other, and see if it blows up. Subject: C flags are now settable on a per-file basis Subject: reduced maximum branch distance in eval.c Certain compilers and/or optimizers get bozoed out by large compilation units, or by large structures within those units. Previously, you either had to change the compiler flags for all the files, or do hairy editing in Makefile.SH and remake the Makefile, necessitating a make depend. Now there is a script called cflags.SH whose duty it is to return the proper CFLAGS for any given C file. You can change the flags in just one spot now and they will be immediately reflected in the next make (or even in the current make, if one is running). Eventually I expect that any of the hints files could modify cflags.SH, but I haven't done that yet. The particular problem of long jump offsets in eval.c has been at least partially alleviated by locating some of the labels in the middle of the function instead of at the end. This still doesn't help the poor Vax when you compile with -g, since it puts a jump to the end of the function to allocate the stack frame and then jumps back to the beginning of the function to execute it. For now Vaxen will have to stick with -O or hand assemble eval.c and teval.c with a -J switch. Subject: fixed "Bad free" error Subject: fixed debugger coredump on subroutines Subject: regexec only allocated space for 9 subexpresssions These are problems that were reported on the net and had unofficial patches. Now they have official patches. Be sure to patch a copy of your files without the unofficial patches, or the patch program will get confused. Subject: you may now use "die" and "caller" in a signal handler Someone pointed out that using die to raise an exception out of a signal handler trashed the expression value stack if the exception was caught by eval. While fixing that, I also fixed the longstanding problem that signal handlers didn't have a normal call frame, which prevented the caller function from working. Subject: fixed undefined environ problem Subject: hopefully straightened out some of the Xenix mess Subject: random cleanup in cpp namespace Just keeping up with the current progress in non-standardization. Subject: fixed failed fork to return undef as documented The open function returns undef on failed implicit forks. The Book assumed that the same was true of an explicit fork. I've made the function behave like the Book says. It's a pity there's no way to have an undefined value that returns -1 in a numeric context but false in a boolean context... Subject: generalized the yaccpar fixer some Thanks to Andy Dougherty, perly.fixer now knows how to fix SVR3 2.2's yaccpar code to do dynamic parse stack allocation. He also made it easy for other people to insert their code there. Hooray! Subject: find2perl sometimes needs to stat on the 2nd leg of a -o Subject: find2perl didn't correctly handle switches with an argument of 0 In attempting to delay the lstat to the last moment, in case a filename could be rejected on the basis of its name, find2perl neglected to take into account the fact that control might pass to the 2nd half of a -o without executing all of the 1st half, in particular without executing the lstat. find2perl was wisely removing leading zeroes from numbers that would mistakenly be interpreted as octal numbers by Perl. Unfortunately, this caused it to delete the number 0 entirely. Subject: fixed dumpvar not to dump internal debugging info Subject: substr($ENV{"PATH"},0,0) = "/foo:" didn't modify environment Subject: $foo .= <BAR> could cause core dump for certain lengths of $foo Subject: perl -de "print" wouldn't stop at the first statement Random glitchy little things. Subject: I'm at NetLabs now I'm now working for NetLabs, Inc., and I hadn't changed my address everywhere.
