* Protect against ptrdiff_t not being available.Brian Fraser2014-06-131-0/+1
| | | | | This is primarily for pedantic builds; ptrdiff_t is now standard, and had already been in use in the core without guards.
* Fix cbacktraceH.Merijn Brand2014-06-111-0/+1
|
* Add C backtrace API.Jarkko Hietaniemi2014-06-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | Useful for at least debugging. Supported in Linux and OS X (possibly to some extent in *BSD). See perlhacktips for details.
* Correct socksizetype on VMS.Craig A. Berry2014-06-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | This was modified to comply with the standard in DEC C 5.0. The last 5.x release was 5.7 in 1998 and we've long since required at least 6.0 to build Perl. So this change is a wee bit behind schedule.
* Refactor some compiler-based hints in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2014-06-061-49/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time, there was VAX C, and there was a port of GCC 2.something that used the same library. These both only ran on VAX and both became obsolete years ago. When DEC/Compaq/HP C came along, it had its own library (typically referred to simply as "the CRTL") that shipped with the operating system. It was thus natural to determine the presence or absence of a library function based on the compiler choice, as that implied a library choice. But there is now no choice of library nor has been for many years. The CRTL is it, and even a new port of GCC (which apparently exists in some form as part of Ada Core's toolchain) would almost certainly use it. So stop using the selected compiler to decide whether a library function is present or not.
* wcs* fix-up for configure.comCraig A. Berry2014-06-051-12/+4
| | | | | | | | | VMS has had wcscmp and wcsxfrm since version 6.2 was released in 1995. None of these functions depends on what compiler we're running, only on what the C library has, and there is only one viable CRTL in existence in modern times, so we probably need a further refactor to eliminate the compiler check for this whole section.

* targetsh in configure.com againCraig A. Berry2014-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | | In 9056626be4b0df I had set it to empty string, but thanks to a heads up from Brian Fraser I've realized it should be the same thing as sh as it is now used to set up SH_PATH.
* Fix targetsh in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2014-01-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Specifically, there is no 'sh' variable, so if we try to reference it we get: %DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling \SH\ So enter an empty string for targetsh.
* Added targetsh to all the canned config filesBrian Fraser2014-01-231-0/+1

* Fix $Config{src} on VMS.Craig A. Berry2013-12-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | It may not matter much as it's been broken since dab31494e8bab and doesn't seem to have caused any trouble, but to be pedantically correct the location of the source is not the same as the install location.
* Make perl_setup.com infer perl_root from its own location.Craig A. Berry2013-12-281-19/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perl_setup.com command procedure initializes the root logical name, the shareable image logical name pointing to the main Perl dynamic library, and either command symbols or command table entries that reference those logical names. It's always by default hard-coded the prefix chosen at configuration time as the basis for where Perl should be located. The original rationale for that was that it gets run right before installperl and sets things up correctly for installation. But that optimizes for a single use case that is easily handled by specifying the correct install location as a parameter and pessimizes for every other use case, notably relocating an installed Perl directory tree. So make it infer the correct root from its own location and specify the install location only at installation time. Among other benefits, this allows the install location to be chosen at installation time by overriding the default prefix like so: MMK/MACRO=(PREFIX="DSA0:[homedir.MyPerl2.]") install
* Purge sfio support from configure.com, Configure and related files.Nicholas Clark2013-12-271-34/+0
| | | | | | | Most of these are actually generated, so the maintenance complexity reduction is not as impressive as the diffstat suggests. (Incorporating a fix from Merijn)
* i_arpainet and i_sysun for configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-11-051-2/+25
| | | | | VMS does have arpa/inet.h and is supposed to be getting sys/un.h in the near future.
* getnameinfo, getaddrinfo, and inet_xxx fix-ups for configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-10-271-5/+15
| | | | | | This is mostly a very belated follow-up to d7fba2bf7c68c, but in the case of inet_aton, is a stupendously belated follow-up to 570bb66edbdc8.
* Teach configure.com about Perl_drand48 and friends.Craig A. Berry2013-09-191-52/+9
| | | | Follow-up to 890c2948b6847.
* Regenerate Configure and chainsaw voidflagsH.Merijn Brand2013-09-161-4/+0
|
* Remove references to GNU DLD from Configure and config.sh scripts.Nicholas Clark2013-09-051-2/+1
| | | | | Specifically eliminated i_dld, a variable indicating that <dld.h> should be included, and remove dld from the list of wanted libraries.
* Another reason for home-grown kill() on VMS.Craig A. Berry2013-09-021-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some time now Perl has provided its own kill() function on VMS due to various problems with the system-supplied one, notably that when called from within a signal handler, the second signal never got delivered. This has at long last been corrected in the OS as of the VMS84I_SYS V3.0 ECO. But this exposes another problem with the CRTL's kill(), which is that when called with a signal value of 0 it actually kills the running program instead of restricting itself to error checking as the standard requires. This turns out to be documented behavior and the documented workaround is to define the _POSIX_EXIT macro. However, universally changing the behavior of the exit() function in order to prevent kill(getpid(),0); from bringing down the program that calls it doesn't seem like the right trade-off. So just add one more condition to the list of conditions under which we'll use our own kill().
* Fix include-related missing variables in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-08-161-0/+8

* Fix remaining missing d_xxx variables in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-08-151-0/+12
|
* Fix miscellaneous missing d_xxx variables in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-08-131-4/+17
| | | | | | There are still 200+ variables in Porting/Glossary that are not written by configure.com, but these jumped out as the initial set that might be of actual use.
* Forgot d_semctl in a429ddf7a2c14d.Craig A. Berry2013-08-111-0/+2
|
* Probe for shm* routines in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-08-111-3/+46
| | | | | | | | | | They became available in ACRTL ECO V0100 on VMS v8.4, but aren't quite ready for prime time yet. Specifically, shmget fails unless IPC_CREAT is set in the third argument, but Perl has tests that explicitly check that this is not necessary. So construct the probe such that we won't enable these routines until the CRTL bug has been fixed.
* Add two "ld" variables missing from configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-08-101-0/+2
| | | | This should close [perl #119197].
* Remove 5.005 thread support from configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-07-181-40/+13
| | | | Follow-up to 5ff367e3adebb49.
* Add non-XS extensions to known_extensions in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-07-041-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Follow-up to f7b3892b9e45c6994. For now we're not re-sorting known_extensions after combining the XS and non-XS extensions into one list. It would be pretty arduous to do that in DCL and probably doesn't matter. We special-case VMS::Filespec because (at least on VMS) it's an XS extension so clearly doesn't belong in nonxs_ext. Technically it's static because it's XS bits live in vms/vms.c, but it's not clear that it belongs in static_ext as those would normally be things that require an extra link step (if such static linking even works, which we don't know as it hasn't been tested in a long time.)
* Eliminate macro for OpenVMS debugger [perl #118447].Craig A. Berry2013-06-131-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | We need to do whatever the configuration says we are doing via $Config{dbgprefix} and/or $Config{usevmsdebug} for extension building to work, so it makes sense for the top-level build to also base what it is doing on the configuration choice rather than on the special invocation of MMK with /MACRO=__DEBUG__=1. So this patch makes the top-level build do what we've configured to do and eliminates the instruction to use the macro.

* Enable sem* functions in configure.com for 8.4+.Craig A. Berry2013-03-021-3/+14
| | | | They became available in VMS v8.4 in 2010.
* Implement useversionedarchname in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2013-02-161-1/+23
| | | | | | | | If this ever becomes the default, we should really remove the versioned subdirectory from archlib that we've always had. As of now, using this feature on VMS gives us redundancies such as: archlib='perl_root:[lib.VMS_IA64-5_17_9.5_17_9]'
* Fix erroneous USE_LONG_DOUBLE in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2012-12-221-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time there was a "use64bit" option [1] that only later became separated into use64bitint, uselongdouble, and use64bitall, but we didn't properly separate out everything. So if you chose 64-bit integers but not long doubles, you would get the macro USE_LONG_DOUBLE defined but without other supporting defines and with incompatible branches followed in various parts of the #ifdef jungle. So separate them out. Thanks to Thomas Pfau for trying what's apparently a rare configuration. [1] See fafa4fee6354847ae7fda.
* Fix d_nv_preserves_uv on VMS with 64-bit int but no long double.Craig A. Berry2012-12-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | There was a typo in a5bd55ee8902ea3fcb that left a spurious double quote in config.h and caused compile failures when compiling with -Duse64bitint but not also selecting -Duselongdouble. Problem reported by Thomas Pfau.
* Add Configure probe for ip_mreq_sourceH.Merijn Brand2012-08-261-0/+2

* Correct the dlsrc entry in configure.com.Craig A. Berry2012-06-061-1/+1
| | | | | | It's not the .c, it's the .xs from which we generate the .c. Spotted by Nicholas.
* Make configure.com ready for C++.Craig A. Berry2012-05-241-96/+74
| | | | | | | | | | Building on Peter Prymmer's work from some years ago, this gets the configuration process on VMS up to speed on the native C++ compiler. Quite a bit of it involves tweaking the configuration probes to work under C++, plus a variety of other nits. TODO: This should probably be made to work as -Dcc=cxx rather than -Dusecxx as it does now, but it's still pretty experimental.
* VMS does have sockaddr_in6 and ipv6_mreq.Craig A. Berry2012-02-171-4/+2
| | | | | | | | Or at least has had for 10 years or more. If someone shows up wanting to build on an older system, we can add real probes. Plus we can't write to config.sh before it's been opened, as 18126d98dd7 had us doing.

* Remove explicit support for pre-7.0 VMS and pre-6.0 DEC C.Craig A. Berry2011-12-101-42/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenVMS v7.0 was released in 1995. There have been no reports of recent releases of Perl building on versions that far back, yet we still have quite a bit of code that explicitly supports versions *prior* to v7.0. There is a similar story for DEC C v6.0. It was released in 1998, and has been superceded by numerous subsequent versions. Yet the VMS-specific code in the core is littered with workarounds and hacks that defend against deficiencies in very old compiler versions. This code is for all practical purposes no longer maintained or maintainable, so the best path forward seems to be to remove it. Anyone able and willing to commit to long-term support of it could argue for its restoration, assuming Perl 5.14.x is not adequate.
* Update IO-Compress to CPAN version 2.044Chris 'BinGOs' Williams2011-12-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [DELTA] 2.044 2 December 2011 * Moved FAQ.pod under the lib directory so it can get installed * Added bin/zipdetails * IO::Compress::Zip - In one-shot mode enable Zip64 mode if the input file/buffer >= 0xFFFFFFFF bytes. * IO::Compress::FAQ - Updates
* Where available, use _NSGetExecutablePath() to make $^X absolute.Nicholas Clark2011-09-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | In Configure, check whether _NSGetExecutablePath() can be used to find the absolute pathname of the executable. If so, set usensgetexecutablepath in config.sh and USE_NSGETEXECUTABLEPATH in config.h. If this is set, then use this approach in S_set_caret_X() to canonicalise $^X as an absolute path. This approach works on OS X, and possible on other platforms that use dyld.
