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".

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 ;-).

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.

* Integerize mg.c; eliminate warning on C< local($)) >Chip Salzenberg1996-08-231-37/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ok, here's a tested patch for the debugger problem. I was missing the fact that DB::dbline magic is actually uppercase (which means hv_store_ent() etc., will pass SV keys to the vtbl_dbline handlers). Replace the oft-repeated mg_ptr incantation with the simple MgPVKEY macro. Rename MgPVKEY to MgPV (to match with HePV elsewhere). Add additional parens around the "mg". (lines near 584) Part of VMS changes. I don't know what this did. This patch converts magic variables ($!, $^E, etc.) to use integers (C<sv_setiv>) instead of floats. It also eliminates a warning from C< local($)) >, via a hack similar to $!.
* FAKE typeglobs seriously busted (with patch)Perl 5 Porters1996-09-011-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Handling of fake typeglobs (scalars that are really globs in disguise) is seriously busted since 5.002 (it wasn't so in 5.001n). The problem is that mg_get() on a glob calls gv_efullname() which might coerce its first arg to a string. Sub-critical patch to conceivably fix some %SIG problems. (Shared hash key weren't being properly detected by some of the sig magic, but as shared hash keys wouldn't normally be used in %SIG it's unlikely this is a significant problem.) This patch changes neither behavior nor performance. However, it does reduce code size and improve maintainability by combining some common code in gv_fullname() and gv_efullname().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [editor's note: no patch file was found for this release, so no fine-grained changes] I can't find the password for our ftp server, so I had to drop it into ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/incoming/perl5.002b3.tar.gz, which is a drop directory you can't ls. The current plan is that Andy is gonna whack on this a little more, and then release a gamma in a few days when he's happy with it. So don't get carried away. This is now *late* beta. In other words, have less than the appropriate amount of fun. :-) Larry

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you're adventurous, have a look at ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/outgoing/perl5.0/perl5.002beta1.tar.gz Many thanks to Andy for doing the integration. Obviously, if you consult the bugs database, you'll note there are still plenty of buglets that need fixing, and several enhancements that I've intended to put in still haven't made it in (Hi, Tim and Ilya). But I think it'll be pretty stable. And you can start to fiddle around with prototypes (which are, of course, still totally undocumented). Packrats, don't worry too much about readvertising this widely. Nowadays we're on a T1 here, so our bandwidth is okay. Have the appropriate amount of jollity. Larry

This is a consolidation patch. It contains many of the most commonly applied or agreed-to patches that have been circulating since patch.1m. It also changes the 'unofficial patchlevel' in perl.c. There are some problems (see items marked with '***'). I will attempt to address those in a patch.1o in a few days. This patch contains the following packages: My Jumbo Configure patch vs. 1m, with subsequent patches 1, 2, and 3. Mainly, this provides easier use of local libraries, documents the installation process in a new INSTALL file, moves important questions towards the beginning, and improves detection of signal names (mostly for Linux). xsubpp-1.922.

* perl5.000 patch.0g: [various portability fixes, and use latest metaconfig ↵Andy Dougherty1995-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for Configure] This patch incorporates various portability fixes and uses the latest metaconfig to generate Configure (and config_h.SH). It would take a long time to summarize all that I've changed. I haven't included many code changes because I'm trying *not* to duplicate bug fixes Larry may already have applied. Here's an older description I prepared that's still mostly accurate: I've also included a few portability fixes in the main source, but these are certainly not a complete set of everything that's been reported. Don't be put off by the size of the patch. Mostly, it's just rearrangement of the parts in Configure and some cosmetic changes. Since gcc often supports long long, I had started to add quad support to Configure. Since SunOS 4.1.3 defines a conflicting "quad" structure, I changed the name from 'quad' to Quad_t, consistent with other Configure "types." I also changed "QUAD" to "HAS_QUAD". However, it turns out it's pretty hard to actually *use* Quad_t. Neither system I have access to can sprintf() a "long long", nor can they carry one around in an IV, unless I make IV "long long", which I didn't want to force generally. Thus I wonder whether any but a precious few could actually use Quad_t, and dropped the tests from Configure. I left in the s/quad/Quad_t/ and s/QUAD/HAS_QUAD/ stuff in case someone else wants to pick it up, and also because I was too lazy to take it back out :-). Some highlights: Configure Several new options. Use Configure -h to learn more. Also, read the directions Configure prints. :-) Spaces now allowed in -D command line options. New -O option that overrides config.sh. You can start interactively and then change that to accepting all the defaults by specifying &-d at any Configure prompt. This is useful if you have to re-run Configure to only change a few settings. Signal type set correctly for the cast{i32,neg} tests. archname detection improved a bit guard against ksh users who have set -u Oldconfig.U cleaned up and regularized a bit more. Guard against hint files using (and over-writing) $tmp. Command line options now are processed after metaconfig INIT lines. Thus things like Configure -Uuseposix should work now. Various miscellaneous clean-ups. better use/detection of tr. i_db.U now checks for hash and prefix type (I think!) I can't test it here. i_?db*.U now all check for an associated function before deciding to include or not the header. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Sorted & updated. Makefile.SH Some shells/makes bombed out on test -d lib/auto || mkdir lib/auto Use makedir instead. README Some additional notes that people won't read :-). cflags.SH Now calls $startsh. Weird things were happening on Intergraph, and this might be related. config.H Updated. config_h.SH Regenerated. deb.c Varargs dependencies on STANDARD_C replaced by I_STDARG. doop.c quad stuff. ext/DB_File/DB_File.xs Use the new DB_Hash_t and DB_Prefix_t symbols. ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/sdbm.h Fix #defines to be more robust. mg.c Replace VOIDSIG by metaconfig's Signal_t. opcode.h opcode.pl semop only takes 2 arguments, not 3. perl.c Better guard on getenv() prototype. A hint file can use this, if necessary. Me, I think some compilers are just too picky. perl.h The (very) beginnings of some Quad support. See above. Remove the very troublesome sprintf() prototype. Since we don't _use_ the return value anyway (since it's not portable) this should be o.k. The problem was that some systems CAN_PROTOTYPE but include char *sprintf(); in <stdio.h>. That's incompatible with the version we used to have in perl.h. Most people have a prototype for sprintf() in <stdio.h>. Those that don't probably can get by without it anyway. Protect the timesbuf by the specific HAS_TIMES test. Some older gcc-2.something/Solaris 2.something installations apparently don't have times. pp.c More quad stuff. pp_ctl.c s/STANDARD_C/I_STDARG/ for varargs stuff. pp_sys.c use Signal_t. proto.h Update to match new metaconfig names. util.c s/STANDARD_C/I_STDARG/ for varargs stuff. comment out <unistd.h>. A pause prototype was causing problems on some systems. vms/config.vms Changed to use Signal_t.
