perldoc perlop says:
a list assignment in scalar context returns the number of elements
produced by the expression on the right hand side of the assignment
Behaviour was changed as side effect of
ca65944e8ff8fff6e36ea7476ba807be16cfe2a9 where goal was to fix
return value in list context.

This patch does the following:
*) Introduces multiple new hash functions to choose from at build
time. This includes Murmur-32, SDBM, DJB2, SipHash, SuperFast, and
One-at-a-time. Currently this is handled by muning hv.h. Configure
support hopefully to follow.
*) Changes the default hash to Murmur hash which is faster than the
old default One-at-a-time.
*) Rips out the old HvREHASH mechanism and replaces it with a
per-process random hash seed.
*) Changes the old PL_hash_seed from an interpreter value to a
global variable. This means it does not have to be copied during
interpreter setup or cloning.
*) Changes the format of the PERL_HASH_SEED variable to a hex
string so that hash seeds longer than fit in an integer are possible.
*) Changes the return of Hash::Util::hash_seed() from a number to a
string. This is to accomodate hash functions which have more bits than
can be fit in an integer.
*) Adds new functions to Hash::Util to improve introspection of hashes
-) hash_value() - returns an integer hash value for a given string.
-) bucket_info() - returns basic hash bucket utilization info
-) bucket_stats() - returns more hash bucket utilization info
-) bucket_array() - which keys are in which buckets in a hash
More details on the new hash functions can be found below:

They have all be converted into Perl's ugly macro format.
I have not done any rigorous testing to make sure this conversion
is correct. They seem to function as expected however.
All of them use the random hash seed.
You can force the use of a given function by defining one of
PERL_HASH_FUNC_MURMUR
PERL_HASH_FUNC_SUPERFAST
PERL_HASH_FUNC_DJB2
PERL_HASH_FUNC_SDBM
PERL_HASH_FUNC_ONE_AT_A_TIME
Setting the environment variable PERL_HASH_SEED_DEBUG to 1 will make
perl output the current seed (changed to hex) and the hash function
it has been built with.
Setting the environment variable PERL_HASH_SEED to a hex value will
cause that value to be used at the seed. Any missing bits of the seed
will be set to 0. The bits are filled in from left to right, not
the traditional right to left so setting it to FE results in a seed
value of "FE000000" not "000000FE".
Note that we do the hash seed initialization in perl_construct().
Doing it via perl_alloc() (via init_tls) causes problems under
threaded builds as the buffers used for reentrant srand48 functions
are not allocated. See also the p5p mail "Hash improvements blocker:
portable random code that doesnt depend on a functional interpreter",

For threaded platforms, this reduces the object code size, and should slight
reduce CPU usage.

Core-only modules that have changed from v5.13.7, and dual-life modules
that have changed from v5.13.7 and didn't show up in earlier passes.

Trivial changes to fix warnings of types
* unclear precedence
* assignment as conditional
* signed/unsigned mixing
* unused parameter/variable
* value computed not used
* wrong argument type for a printf format
* variable may be used uninitialised (due to unhandled switch case)

On this platform it reduces the object code size by over 1K.
Ideally these test functions would not be in the installed code, but I can't
see an easy way to avoid this.

(it's not dual-lived so there's no need for a devel version number)
|
| |
|
|
|
|

(For core modules, or where the dual life module on CPAN has a Makefile.PL that
is not the same. AUTHOR is only used for the ppm target, which the core doesn't
need.)
