* magic_setisa enhanced to update %FIELDS automatically when @ISAMalcolm Beattie1997-11-182-53/+0
| | | | | | is assigned to. Added tests to t/op/array.t. magic_setisa now warns about including non-existent packages in @ISA when -w is on. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@264
* Rewrite thread return code to distinguish between ordinary returnMalcolm Beattie1997-11-131-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | and die() and make join propagate the die. Add tiny method eval which just does "return eval { shift->join; }". Add Thread::Specific class for access to thread specific user data along with specific.t. Rename Class to classname throughout Thread.xs for consistency. Fix pp_specific to pp_threadsv in global.sym. Add support to pp_entersub in pp_hot.c to lock stash for static locked methods. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@248

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This rather trivial patch fixes a feature broken in 5.004_02's xsubpp. Namely, #line directives are interfering with the ability to put #ifdef around entire XSubs.

| | * Document that File::Find doesn't follow symlinksGreg Ward1997-09-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Subject: following symlinks with File::Find The behaviour of File::Find with respect to symbolic links is inconsistent between Perl 5.002/5.003 and 5.004_02. Since 5.004_02's behaviour (don't follow symlinks) is more consistent with `find' itself, this is probably more of a documentation bug -- i.e., the File::Find man page should mention that 1) it doesn't follow symlinks, and 2) previous versions did, so watch out! p5p-msgid: 199708191853.OAA07111@bottom.bic.mni.mcgill.ca

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patches do not fix actual grave errors but they do: - make the code more robust (more discontinuities catched) (e.g. atan(-i), atanh(-1)) - make the results agree on signs and/or conjugate forms with the results MATLAB gives: the results were already correct thanks to the periodicity of trig funcs but now they are also consistent. (e.g. acos(x) did have an unnecessary discontinuity at x = 0) - for some pure real arguments short-circuit the calculation to avoid rounding errors (which make epsilons appear where clear zeros should reign) Tested on NetBSD 1.2G i686, Linux 2.0.25 i686, Digital UNIX 4.0 EV56. p5p-msgid: 199708081842.VAA31214@alpha.hut.fi

This tests fine on my Linux. I hope >I'm not introducing a memory leak or other ailment... That doesn't look quite right to me. When provided a literal, you should point at the actual literal (which normally has a global lifetime), rather than making a mortal copy of it and pointing at that. The mortal copy will be destroyed at the next statement boundary, and you'll be left with a dangling pointer when you unpack(). You're doing the very thing the XXX comment above was intended to highlight. I do agree that literals should be pack('p')-able.

Virden) writes: > use FileHandle; > STDERR->open("/tmp/errorsfile","w"); This patch tries to fix the problem by auto-blessing handles as 'FileHandle' if the FileHandle package has been loaded and IO::Handle otherwise. The snag is that STDOUT, STDIN, STDERR are initialized before 'use FileHandle' executes, so they are all initially blessed as IO::Handles. We compensate by reblessing them in FileHandle.pm: This makes Larry's example as well as the following code work: use FileHandle; open(F, "/dev/null") or die; F->seek(0, 1) or die; p5p-msgid: hyb80drrz.fsf@bergen.sn.no

This behavior is both contrary to the way the real find command works and contrary to the way find() and finddepth() treat symbolic links that occur lower down in the directory hierarchy (which aren't followed). Example: $ cd $HOME $ mkdir findbug; cd findbug $ ln -s /usr usr $ find usr -print usr $ find2perl usr -print | perl usr usr/lost+found usr/tmp usr/tmp/.zma25637cbbb ... 2) If the wanted() function sets $prune = 1 for a toplevel directory, the find() function ignores it. It honors $prune for all lower level directories, but not the toplevel ones. This, too, is contrary to the way the real find command works. Example: $ find /usr -print -prune /usr $ find2perl /usr -print -prune | perl /usr /usr/lost+found /usr/tmp /usr/bin /usr/man /usr/etc /usr/lib /usr/netdemo /usr/include /usr/adm ... 3) If finddepth() is passed a toplevel path that is not a directory, it fails to set $name before calling the wanted() function. This, too, is contrary to the way the real find command works. Example: $ cd $HOME $ find /dev/null -depth -print /dev/null $ find2perl /dev/null -depth -print | perl $ The following patch corrects all three defects: p5p-msgid: 199707040045.RAA24459@mailgate2.boeing.com

I've attached a patch > that fixes all but one. I believe it's possible to avoid any subprocesses or shell invocations by using a tied filehandle. Getting the output filename right will require restructuring xsubpp's command line interface and changing MakeMaker, whence my ".c" hack. Given that the previous xsubpp didn't insert any self-pointing line directives, I figure it's a gain, though by no means perfect. The tie idea may improve portability at the expense of length and complexity. It's worked in my test cases (unlike my last patch, in which C<splice(@BootCode, 1)> should be C<@BootCode> as you noticed). However, I feel I'm on thin ice when using TIEHANDLE, and this code can certainly be smoothed out a bit. p5p-msgid: 199707010221.CAA01234@remote133

In 5.003, Syslog called Sys::Hostname to get the name of the host, and happily used that as the logging host. Now, Syslog calls Sys::Hostname to get the name of the host, strips off all the domain info, and uses that as the host: sub connect { unless ($host) { require Sys::Hostname; my($host_uniq) = Sys::Hostname::hostname(); ($host) = $host_uniq =~ /([\w\-]+)/; } ....etc.....
