| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Subject: [PATCH]: reduced malloc patch Since this problems arise again and again on the list, here is the reduced malloc patch. It corrects the following problems: a) several off-by-one in av_make(); b) Growing TMP on conversion number=>string; c) Uncompatibility of -DDEBUGGING_MSTATS and system malloc; (The first two problems are fixed by malloc_jumbo_2 as well, but the 2 chunks for "c" - in perl.c - were forgotten in that patch).

| * infinite recursion in malloc() with some compile flagsHans Mulder1997-08-071-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apologies if you see this twice, but I'm afraid my first attempt fell into a black hole. Neither Achim's archive nor the NNTP gateway seem to have recieved it. If one tries to compile perl with all of -DPACK_MALLOC -DHIDEMYMALLOC -DUSE_PERL_SBRK -DPERL_SBRK_VIA_MALLOC then it's almost certain that miniperl will overflow the C stack on its first attempt to call malloc(). This happens because with -DPACK_MALLOC Perl_malloc() expects sbrk() to return 2K-aligned blocks and Perl_sbrk() provides the same sort of alignments as the system malloc(), i.e. 8 bytes or so. When Perl_malloc() notices the block returned by sbrk() isn't properly aligned, it tries to croak("panic: Off-page sbrk"). Croak() calls mess(); mess() calls mess_alloc(); mess_alloc() calls Perl_malloc(); Perl_malloc() again calls croak() and so on until the C stack overflows. I see two problems here; 1. With -DPACK_MALLOC, Perl_sbrk() should return 2K-aligned blocks. 2. croak() should not recurse infinitely. The patch below deals with #1. I'll think some more about #2. p5p-msgid: 199706240050.CAA10550@xs2.xs4all.nl

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. Am I right?). p5p-msgid: <01BBE77A.F6F37F80@malvinas.AtlanTech.COM> Subject: Make $startperl a relative path if people want portable scrip From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net> Files: Configure Subject: Homogenize use of "eval exec" hack From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net> Files: Porting/Glossary eg/README eg/nih eg/sysvipc/ipcmsg eg/sysvipc/ipcsem eg/sysvipc/ipcshm lib/diagnostics.pm makeaperl.SH pod/checkpods.PL pod/perlrun.pod pod/pod2html.PL pod/pod2latex.PL pod/pod2man.PL pod/pod2text.PL utils/c2ph.PL utils/h2ph.PL utils/h2xs.PL utils/perlbug.PL utils/perldoc.PL utils/pl2pm.PL x2p/a2py.c x2p/find2perl.PL x2p/s2p.PL Subject: LynxOS support Date: Thu, 12 Dec 1996 09:25:00 PST From: Greg Seibert <seibert@Lynx.COM> Files: Configure MANIFEST hints/lynxos.sh t/op/stat.t Msg-ID: <m0vYEsY-0000IZC@kzinti.lynx.com> (applied based on p5p patch as commit 6693373533b15e559fd8f0f1877e5e6ec15483cc) Subject: Re: db-recno.t failures with _11 on Freebsd 2.1-stable Date: 11 Dec 1996 18:58:56 -0500 From: Roderick Schertler <roderick@gate.net> Files: INSTALL hints/freebsd.sh Msg-ID: <pzohg0r5tr.fsf@eeyore.ibcinc.com> (applied based on p5p patch as commit 10e40321ee752c58e3407b204c74c8049894cb51) Subject: VMS patches to 5.003_11 Date: Mon, 09 Dec 1996 23:16:10 -0500 (EST) From: Charles Bailey <bailey@HMIVAX.HUMGEN.UPENN.EDU> Files: MANIFEST regexec.c t/lib/filehand.t util.c vms/* private-msgid: <01ICTR32LCZG001A1D@hmivax.humgen.upenn.edu> TESTING Subject: recurse recurse recurse ...

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.

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).
