* Speeding up XSUB calls up to 66%Ilya Zakharevich1999-08-291-1/+4
| | | | | | | | To: perl5-porters@perl.org (Mailing list Perl5) Message-Id: <199908270733.DAA16927@monk.mps.ohio-state.edu> Addendum: it's "only" 33% speedup. p4raw-id: //depot/cfgperl@4044
* Batch of small 64-bit/long double/large file support tweaks:Jarkko Hietaniemi1999-08-161-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - scan for LDBL_DIG - from DBL_DIG and LDBL_DIG select NV_DIG - introduce IVSIZE, UVSIZE, NVSIZE - introduce IV_DIG - remove stdio64 - AIX uses `oslevel` when others use `uname -r` - already AIX 4.2 goes 64-bit - in HP-UX require the 64-bit libc, just the directory isn't enough - group ids are not NVs - #undef USE_LONG_DOUBLE if long double is no better than double - introduce NV_WITHIN_*() and IV_FITS_IN_IV - mention large file support in perldelta - introduce quad TOPpin' and POPpin' - the svcat... buffer was tiny for printing quads in %b - fix the multiplication test in 64bit.t - try to make VMS to comply with all this removal and "introducal" of symbols p4raw-id: //depot/cfgperl@3995

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | with -Duse64bits (using long long). Tested in Solaris 2.6 sparc RH Linux 6.0 x86 (and Digital IX 4.0D, to get a true 64-bit opinion). Now e.g. 'print unpack "q", pack "q", 12345678901' should work on such 32-bit platforms. Still a lot of printf()s behind -D which wrongly assume that %ld/%lx and (long) are a good combination. Introducing a slew of new macros intended to be used in printf() format strings: e. g. PERL_PRId64 is the string to be used when printing an IV, printf("%" PERL_PRId64 "\n", iv). The PRI... naming follows the C9X naming of <inttypes.h> macros. p4raw-id: //depot/cfgperl@3861

* Fixed two long-standing locale bugs.Jarkko Hietaniemi1999-06-171-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both problems were related to numeric locale which controls the radix character aka the decimal separator. (1) printf (and sprintf) were resetting the numeric locale to C. (2) Using locale-numerically formatted floating point numbers (e.g. "1,23") together with -w caused warnings about "isn't numeric". The operations were working fine, though, because atof() was using the local locale. Both problems reported by Stefan Vogtner. Introduced a wrapper for atof() that attempts to convert the string both ways. This helps Perl to understand numbers like this "4.56" even when using a local locale makes atof() understand only numbers like this "7,89". Remaining related problems, both of which existed before this patch and continue to exist after this patch: (a) The behaviour of print() is _not_ as documented by perllocale. Instead of always using the C locale, print() does use the local locale, just like the *printf() do. This may be fixable now that switching to-and-fro between locales has been made more consistent, but fixing print() would change existing behaviour. perllocale is not changed by this patch. (b) If a number has been stringified (say, via "$number") under a local locale, the cached string value persists even under "no locale". This may or may not be a problem: operations work fine because the original number is still there, but that the string form keeps its locale-ish outlook may be somewhat confusing. p4raw-id: //depot/cfgperl@3542

Unfortunately the <sys/time.h> include file is included in the TCP/IP runtime while libsocket.a is in the development system. This means that pp.c decides to use "gettimeofday" because <sys/time.h> is present but I can't link the perl that gets compiled. So, here's a patch to base the use of "gettimeofday" on "HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY" instead of "I_SYS_TIME". I also took the liberty of removing the special case for plan9 (I assume plan9 has <sys/time.h> but no gettimeofday.

Since _09 is going to be alpha anyway, I reiterate my question: Is there any reason to not include my hash/array performance patches in _09? Btw, here is the next performance patch. It makes PADTMP values stealable too. I do not do by setting TEMP flags on them, since it would be a very distributed patch, and it would break some places which check for TEMP for some other reasons (yes, I checked ;-).

Nearly all of the changes are VMS-specific, and comprise miscellaneous bugfixes accumulated since 5.003_07, rather than any particular problem with 5.003_08. I'm posting them here since some of the patches change core files, and I'd like to insure that I haven't accidentally created problems for anyone else. With these and a couple of of the small patches already send to p5p, 5.003_08 builds clean and passes all tests under VMS.
