* 5.002 beta 1Larry Wall1995-11-211-40/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Patches from Larry: eval "1" memory leak patch (as modified by GSAR to apply to 5.001m). NETaa14551 Infinite loop in formats, NETaa13729 scope.c patch (fixed problems on AIX and others) NETaa14138 "substr() & s///" (pp_hot.c) Patches from ftp.perl.com: ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/closure-bug.patch, version of 20 Sep 1995 Includes fix for NETaa14347 (32k limit in regex), and other fixes. ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/debugger.patch, version of 27 Aug 1995 ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/glob-undef.patch, version of 4 Sep 1995 NETaa14421 $_ doesn't undef ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/op-segfault.patch, version of 21 Aug 1995 ftp://ftp.perl.com/pub/perl/src/patches/warn-ref-hash-key.patch, version of 5 Jun 1995 Tim Bunce's Jumbo DynaLoader patch for Perl5.001m, which is NETaa14636 Jumbo DynaLoader patch for Perl5.001m, and Additional patch for NETaa14636 Jumbo DynaLoader patch for Perl5.001m version of 09 Oct 1995. ***This needs some additional parentheses.*** MakeMaker-5.00.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then apply with patch -p1 -N < thispatch. Highlights of this patch include: 1. Fixes for $sitelib, $d_stdio_ptr_lval, and $d_stdio_cnt_lval when config.sh is re-used. 2. Move embed.h, keywords.h, and opcode.h dependencies to a special regen_headers target that is ordinarily not used. This is now analogous to the run_byacc target. As a cosmetic side-effect, I transliterated embed_h.sh into embed.pl so that it can run on non-unix systems as well. 3. Tests for gdbm_{sync,exists,setopt} in GDBM_File (needed for Slackware 2.1). For good measure, I've also thrown in the following patches I pulled off the list, mostly unmodified from the originals. 1. Larry's "unofficial official" fix for the subroutine array context problem. 2. Tim's __DATA__ patch. (I kept forgetting about this one.) 3. Malcom's USE_OP_MASK patch to pave the way for his Safe extension. 4. Spider's suggested renaming of regexec to pregexec and regcomp to pregcomp to avoid conflicts with POSIX symbols on Digital Unix. (I only added a brief explanatory comment to the relevant .c files.) 5. Spider's installperl patch to avoid installing *.orig and and the .exists files. (I changed this a little to include patch's ~ suffix, which is used on systems with short file names (in some versions of patch)). 6. Raphael's "safe_unlink" patch to installperl, in case a copy of perl is currently runniung. 7. xsubpp 1.9. 8. Tim's lib.pm module (with patched corrected spelling of 2nd :-). 9. Tim's Exporter module version patches. 10. Tim's MakeMaker patches for make test when LINKTYPE=static. 11. Randal's pod2html patches. 12. Spider's "picky compiler" patches for x2p/util.[ch] 13. Paul's updated source filtering patches. Patch and enjoy. I hope nothing breaks :-). Andy Dougherty doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu Dept. of Physics Lafayette College, Easton PA 18042

After you apply this patch, I would recommend: rm config.sh sh Configure [whatever options you use] make depend make make test Here are the highlights: All pod documentation now installed, along with corresponding man pages, if possible (Configure allows you to change this). cppstdin no longer points back to the build directory. This necessitated two changes to the test suite: comp/cpp.t is now a front end that punts if cppstdin is not yet available (the old perl4 trick doesn't work for perl5). The op/misc.t test ./perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' has been dropped since I couldn't think of an elegant way to bypass it for systems that need the cppstdin wrapper. Grand autoload patch included (minus the installperl, lib/, and ext/ changes). The lib/ changes are in patch.1g, and the ext/ changes are in patch.1h. Better detection and use of stdio variants, especially on SVR4. Sarathy's consolidated patches (for ties) included. New filter stuff included. Three patches from Larry (gv.c, toke.c, pp_ctl.c) Patch and enjoy, Andy Dougherty doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu Dept. of Physics Lafayette College Easton, PA 18042 Here's the file-by-file breakdown of what's included: Changes.Conf Document changes in the Configure & build process. Configure Upgrade to metaconfig PL55. Add /opt hierarchy to paths searched for programs. Tye McQueen's updated std stdio testing. Prompting for installation info for perl module pages. Add possible SITELIB to include site-specific include directories. By default this is disabled, but it seemed a neat idea now that the standard perl library is getting so big. Check that the compiler chosen exists and actually supports the options the user specified. Correctly sort multiple shared library version numbers. Use a compile & link test for gconvert(), dlopen(), and dlerror(). Do not include build directory name in cppstdin wrapper. MANIFEST Updated. Makefile.SH Reorganized a bit to support separate install.perl and install.man targets to use the new installman script and to accomodate those who don't want to install the man pages. Organize cleanup of .SH files a little better. No longer automatically make the pod/*.man files. This is done by installman only if requested. Include additional error messages and info for regenerating the automatically maintained header files. Add 'minitest' target. README Updated. README.vms Fix perl5-porters subscription info. config_H Updated. config_h.SH Updated. configpm Embedded pod. configure GNU configure-like front end to metaconfig's Configure. Only supports a few options. doio.c Updated to use new std stdio testing. embed.h Add new symbols for filtering. global.sym see embed.h. gv.c C<sub method;> patch from lwall. hints/README.hints Updated. hints/aux.sh Updated. hints/cxux.sh Updated. hints/epix.sh New file. hints/freebsd.sh Updated. hints/irix_4.sh Updated. hints/irix_5.sh Updated. hints/irix_6.sh Updated. hints/linux.sh Updated. hints/powerunix.sh Updated. installman New file to install pod/*.pod and lib/*.p(m|od) man pages. installperl Move installation of man pages over to installman script. Install pod/*.pod files in $privlib/pod/. Preserve timestamps on .a files. makedepend.SH Now includes . and .. in PATH to explicitly find cppstdin wrapper. opcode.h opcode.pl shmwrite fix. perl.c Changed unofficial patchlevel message. Included optional SITELIB directory. perl.h #include <memory.h> cryptswitch gone/filters added. EUNICE replaced by UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS. Only matters for VMS. perldoc.SH New file. pod/perl.pod Describe where modpods are. pp_ctl.c sort bug fix from lwall. pp_hot.c csh glob bug fix from tchrist. Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey pp_sys.c Emulate flock with lockf, if possible. Use new std stdio unit. proto.h Filters stuff. prototype for unlnk() is only needed #if UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS sv.c Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey Sarathy's consolidated patch for nested ties. Use new std stdio unit. t/comp/cpp.aux New file. This only gets called if cppstdin is avaiable. t/comp/cpp.t Calls cpp.aux test only if cppstdin is available. t/op/misc.t Drop perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' test. it couldn't work on systems without the cppstdin wrapper installed, and is usually misleading when it fails anyway. toke.c filter stuff. fix for NETaa13798 from lwall. unixish.h undef UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS since it's irrelevant for unix. util.c s/EUNICE/UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS/ for the unlnk() function. vms/config.vms VMS updates from Charles Bailey. std stdio updates to match changes in perl sources. add UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS constant, but leave it #undef. vms/ext/MM_VMS.pm vms/ext/VMS/stdio/stdio.xs vms/perlvms.pod vms/vms.c VMS updates from Charles Bailey. x2p/Makefile.SH Updated to match man page Configure questions.

* perl5.001 patch.1dAndy Dougherty1995-04-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is my patch patch.1d for perl5.001. A complete description is given below, but here are the basic changes. 1. Linux: more tweaks so dynamic loading works under ELF or (maybe) under dld. There are so many different dld versions and so many different tool sets, it's hard to be more specific. 2. perl -e '$v=1e19+0' no longer dumps core on Intel x86 processors. 3. pod stuff: a. Wrapped pod2* translators in a 'SH' wrapper so that they have the proper path to perl at the top. b. Fixed pod/ Makefile to call the pod2html translator correctly. (Why do pod2man and pod2html work differently?) c. Include latest (Feb 2, 1995) version of pod2html, fresh from ftp.metronet.com. 4. MakeMaker 4.093. 5. GIMME and installperl patches from Tim Bunce. 6. Miscellaneous hint file updates. Configure Allow ' ' to mean 'none' in a few more places. This provides a way for hint files to set something to an empty value and to ensure that the empty value will be maintained when config.sh is reused. Fix silly ld typo that prevented hint file from actually setting $ld. MANIFEST Now has pod/pod2*.SH. Makefile.SH Remove old libperl.a instead of blindly adding to it. Failure to do this causes a problem if you originally used perl's malloc but later changed your mind. The old malloc.o would still be in libperl.a ext/DynaLoader/dl_dlopen.xs Use strerror(errno) instead of dlerror for NetBSD. handy.h Clarify & rework HAS_BOOL comments and code. No functionality is changed, but I hope this is easier to follow. hints/freebsd.sh hints/isc.sh hints/linux.sh hints/netbsd.sh hints/next_3_0.sh hints/next_3_2.sh hints/sco_3.sh Miscellaneous updates. See the individual comments in the patches. installperl Run ranlib on installed .a libraries. unlink() old versions of files before installing new ones, in case the old ones are are write-protected. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Updated to 4.092 by Andreas Koenig. This features better selection of shared library versions and shorter command lines for static linking of new extensions. It is also more robust against broken csh on Linux. (There's still a glob in the library selection loop, however.) I further updated it to 4.093 because I didn't like the distclean target :-). It's just a sloppy quick fix, but that's all I have time for now. I've also worked on the library version selection stuff and the $(CC) command stuff a little more. lib/TieHash.pm Overdue removal of ambiguous ${pack} construction. perl.h New U_V macro to cast to the UV type (usually unsigned long). pod/Makefile Updated. pod/pod2html.SH Updated. Converted to 'SH' wrapper so correct #!/path/to/perl gets used. pod/pod2latex.SH pod/pod2man.SH Converted to 'SH' wrapper so correct #!/path/to/perl gets used. pp_hot.c GIMME patch from Tim Bunce. pp_sys.c Allow use of F_FREESP fcntl() directive to truncate files. If HAS_MKDIR is not defined, the stat() call to check the result of the system "mkdir" call was failing because the filename pointer no longer pointed to the right location. sv.c Protect some (UV) casts by the new U_V() macro. util.c New cast_uv() function to support the U_V() macro, if needed. cast_iv() and cast_uv() no longer assume 32-bit longs. The various cast_() functions have also been simplified.

Fix overlapping memcpy test. Add check for ld. Use $cc instead, if on an ELF system. With -d, don't reuse config.sh unless $myuname matches. Warn more explicitly about changing compilers before reloading old config.sh. Detect Linux ELF format in nm scan. Better detection of d_castneg. (ISC 4.1 was passing the test, but couldn't cast in an argument list.) Suggest -fpic for dynamic loading if you're using GNU CC under any name. No longer test for byacc, fmod, or drem, since they are not used. Makefile.SH Use $ld, not ld (only matters for SVR4) Silence some byacc-related harmless error messages. README Suggest using -Dcc=gcc (or whatever). Warn about reusing old config.sh. (The warning was already there in 5.001; I've just expanded it a little.) Warn against using GNU as and GNU ld on SunOS & Solaris. config.H config_h.SH Updated to match Configure. doio.c Add socket includes. ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.xs Fix typo: s/SETFL/F_SETFL/; handy.h Check _G_HAVE_BOOL, not just if it's defined. hints/dynix.sh hints/hpux_9.sh hints/linux.sh hints/netbsd.sh hints/titanos.sh Updated. ELF on linux should probably work. installperl Install pod2html, pod2latex, and pod2man. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Updated to 4.091. (4.09 + a small writedoc() patch.) myconfig Now includes 'ld' command. perl.c Revised an #elif clause since Pyramid's cpp doesn't understand #elif. perl.h Fix U_L, I_V, and I_32 cast macros to ensure that the cast_ulong(), cast_iv(), and cast_i32() functions (if used) are passed a double. In particular, the FIXSTATUS macros were handing int's to U_L(). Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD testing (See util.c). proto.h Remove my_fmod() prototype. (See util.c) sv.h Fix GV/CV typo. util.c Simplified cast_i32() and cast_iv() to mimic what *actually* happens on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.3. (Previously, they did some complicated fmod() calculation. I've since discovered that's not what happens on the SPARC.) With this change, fmod() is no longer necessary. Hence my_fmod is removed. This also means the HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM tests are no longer needed in Configure, so they are gone too. vms/config.vms Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM defines. x2p/Makefile.SH Silence byacc-related things.

* perl5.000 patch.0m: [various fixes, hint file updates and documentation]Andy Dougherty1995-02-271-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is my patch patch.0m for perl5.000. 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).
* perl5.000 patch.0j: fix minor portability and build problems remaining even ↵Andy Dougherty1995-02-071-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | after patches 0a through 0i Specifically, here's what's included: Configure Regenerated with metaconfig patchlevel 50. This changed a variety of things, mostly related to selecting and changing the installation prefix. Handle csh, sed, and byacc no matter what the setting of d_portable. (This was causing glob problems in patch.0i). Set d_portable to default to 'y'. It doesn't matter anyway, but gives people a warm fuzzy feeling. Remove useless d_group and d_passwd tests. Add check for <sys/stat.h>. Improve & generalize AIX version detection. Consider /opt/man/man1 as a possible place to install man pages. Be a little more robust about OS version changes when deciding if the output of uname -a has really changed. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Added hints/mpeix.sh. README Tell users the Configure defaults are probably right. Makefile.SH Better detection of whether user has byacc. Use $(MAKE) instead of make. U/Loc_sed.U Works again with d_portable='define'. U/Myinit.U Set d_portable=define as default. U/d_byacc.U Detect whether user has byacc even if d_portable=define. U/d_csh.U Works again with d_portable='define'. U/d_group.U Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test. U/d_passwd.U Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test. U/dist.patch This file contains two minor updates to dist3 PL50 that were used to generage Configure. U/i_sysstat.U New test. See if sys/stat.h is available. config.H Updated. config_h.SH Updated to metaconfig patchlevel 50. ext/NDBM_File/Makefile.PL ext/ODBM_File/Makefile.PL Add -lucb for SVR4 systems. handy.h Protect agains g++-2.6.3, which predefines bool. g++ can be used to compile an extension, but not perl itself. Still, the extension will #include "perl.h", which eventually gets "handy.h", which #define's bool. If this happens to you, add -DHAS_BOOL to your ccflags in your extension, or else ensure that _G_config.h is #include'd before perl.h. (_G_config.h will define _G_HAVE_BOOL, if indeed your version of g++ has bool.) hints/aix.sh Updated. Handles AIX 3.2.x and 4.1. Comments included! hints/hpux_9.sh Updated. hints/irix_4.sh Updated. Includes comments for IRIX 4.0.4 hints/linux.sh Updated. Beginnings of ELF support added, but completely untested. hints/mpeix.sh New hint file. hints/solaris_2.sh Useless ccflags="$ccflags" line removed. hints/svr4.sh Updated. installperl Doesn't use Config anymore (it already reads config.sh directly. That's probably backwards, but, oh well. Install perl.exp for AIX. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Upgraded from 4.01 to 4.03. makedepend.SH Use $MAKE instead of plain make. Index: op.c Remove overlapping strcpy(). perl.h Add test for <sys/stat.h>. Delete unused VOIDSIG stuff. Delete unused typedef struct lstring Lstring; perl_exp.SH Add safexxxx calls. pp_sys.c Delete wayward break in HAS_ALARM section. proto.h Change true and false (!) in function prototypes to please g++-2.6.3, which has true and false built in. (See notes for handy.h.) Index: unixish.h Long-overdue housekeeping. HAS_GROUP and HAS_PASSWD are always defined. util.c Yet another (char*) cast for bcmp. vms/config.vms Changed comments to match unixish.h. writemain.SH Now correctly handles nested static extensions. Recent MakeMakers have moved where they get built. x2p/a2p.h More definitions that will doubtless cause trouble somewhere else. x2p/a2py.c x2p/walk.c Remove unprotected char *strchr();

Fix various bonehead errors I introduced in patches a-g. 2. Incorporate MakeMaker changes to bring it up to version 4.01 (mostly). 3. Stick in things I forgot in patches a-g (e.g. AIX). 4. Some minor additional cleanup in x2p/ for even pickier compilers. 5. More hints updates (hpux and next). 6. Include newest dl_hpux.xs. I didn't have time to 1. Fix the overlapping strcpy() in op.c 2. Restore h2xs to Larry's original design to process <>. 3. take out unnecessary "use Config" in installperl. 4. Add in vms patches. I forgot to [If I remembered what i forgot, I wouldn't have forgotten it. :] I deliberately decided *not* to 1. Touch pod/* 2. deal with overloading Specifically, here's what's included: Configure Regenerated to be sure it's up-to-date. Makefile.SH Build extension libraries right into lib/auto/whatever. Don't set CCCDLFLAGS since we don't use it anyway. Take care to avoid modifying lib/Config.pm without reason Visit DynaLoader for `make clean'. (Previously only did so for `make realclean'.) @echo "Note that make realclean does not delete config.sh" Include config.h dependency. U/i_db.U config_h.SH config.H Remove unwanted quotes around db_hashtype and db_prefixtype. configpm Allow specification of alternate name for lib/Config.pm, so the makefile mv-if-diff trick saves needless re-making. ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.pm Updated warning messages and comments. ext/DynaLoader/dl_hpux.xs Updated to version 2.1. Now uses bootstrap files. ext/util/make_ext Explicitly use #!/bin/sh to start it up. This is useful for testing make_ext. Improve & simplify Nested::Extension::Processing. More robust handling of `make clean'. hints/hpux_9.sh Support both the bundled and unbundled compilers. hints/next_3_2.sh Back to using -posix rather than POSIX_SOURCE.

* perl5.000 patch.0g: [various portability fixes, and use latest metaconfig ↵Andy Dougherty1995-01-181-17/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Compliments of David W. Sanderson. Subject: op/regexp.t failed from missing arg to bcmp() Subject: study was busted by 4.018 Subject: sort $subname was busted by changes in 4.018 Subject: default arg for shift was wrong after first subroutine definition Things that broke in 4.018. Shame on me. Subject: do {$foo ne "bar";} returned wrong value A bug of long standing. How come nobody saw this one? Or if you did, why didn't you report it before now? Or if you did, why did I ignore you? :-) Subject: some machines need -lsocket before -lnsl Subject: some earlier patches weren't propagated to alternate 286 code Subject: compile in the x2p directory couldn't find cppstdin Subject: more hints for aix, isc, hp, sco, uts Subject: installperl no longer updates unchanged library files Subject: uts wrongly defines S_ISDIR() et al Subject: too many preprocessors can't expand a macro right in #if The usual pastiche of portability kludges. Subject: deleted some unused functions from usersub.c And fixed the spelling of John Macdonald's name, and included his suggested workaround for a certain vendor's stdio bug... Subject: added readdir test Subject: made op/groups.t more reliable Subject: added test for sort $subname to op/sort.t Subject: added some hacks to op/stat.t for weird filesystem architectures Improvements (hopefully) to the regression tests.

Now Configure appends the user's path to its own. Some machines need <netinet/in.h> included in order to define certain macros for packing or unpacking network order data. On Suns, the shared library is used by default. If it doesn't contain something contained in /lib/libc.a, then Configure was getting things wrong (such as gethostent()). Now Configure uses the shared library if it's there in preference to libc.a. When gcc was selected as the compiler, the cc flags defaulted to -fpcc_struct_return. Unfortunately, the underlines should be hyphens. Configure figures out if BSD shadow passwords are installed and the getpw* routines now return slightly different data in the affected fields. Some of the prompts in Configure with regard to gid and uid types were unclear as to their intended use. They are now a little clearer. Sometimes you could change a .h file and taintperl and suidperl didn't get remade correctly because of missing dependencies in the Makefile. The README file was misleading about the fact that you have to say "make test" before you can "cd t; TEST" The reverse operator was busted in two different ways. Should work better now. There are now regression tests for it. Some of the optimizations that perl does are disabled after period of time if perl decides they aren't doing any good. One of these caused a string to be freed that was later referenced via another pointer, causing core dumps. The free turned out to be unnecessary, so it was removed. The unless modifier was broken when run under the debugger, due to the invert() routine in perl.y inverting the logic on the DB subroutine call instead of the command the unless was modifying. Configure vfork test was backwards. It now works like other defines. The numeric switch optimization was broken, and caused code to be bypassed. This has been fixed. A split in a subroutine that has no target splits into @_. Unfortunately, this wrongly freed any referenced arguments passed in through @_, causing confusing behavior later in the program. File globbing (<foo.*>) left one orphaned string each time it called the shell to do the glob. RCS expanded an unintended $Header in lib/perldb.pl. This has been fixed simply by replacing the $ with a . Some forward declarations of static functions were missing from malloc.c. There's a strut in malloc for mips machines to extend the overhead union to the size of a double. This was also enabled for sparc machines. DEC risc machines are reported to have a buggy memcmp. I've put some conditional code into perl.h which I think will undef MEMCMP appropriately. In perl.man.4, I documented the desirability of using parens even where they aren't strictly necessary. I've grandfathered "format stdout" to be the same as "format STDOUT". Unary operators can be called with no argument. The corresponding function call form using empty parens () didn't work right, though it did for certain functions in 2.0. It now works in 3.0. The string ordering tests were wrong for pairs of strings in which one string was a prefix of the other. This affected lt, le, gt, ge, and the sort operator when used with no subroutine. $/ didn't work with the stupid code used when STDSTDIO was undefined. The stupid code has been replaced with smarter code that can do it right. Special thanks to Piet van Oostrum for the code. Goulds work better if the union in STR is at an 8 byte boundary. The fields were rearranged somewhat to provide this. "sort keys %a" should now work right (though parens are still desirable for readability). bcopy() needed a forward declaration on some machines. In x2p/Makefile.SH, added dependency on ../config.sh so that it gets linked down from above if it got removed for some reason.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few of the new features: (18 Oct) * Perl can now handle binary data correctly and has functions to pack and unpack binary structures into arrays or lists. You can now do arbitrary ioctl functions. * You can now pass things to subroutines by reference. * Debugger enhancements. * An array or associative array may now appear in a local() list. * Array values may now be interpolated into strings. * Subroutine names are now distinguished by prefixing with &. You can call subroutines without using do, and without passing any argument list at all. * You can use the new -u switch to cause perl to dump core so that you can run undump and produce a binary executable image. Alternately you can use the "dump" operator after initializing any variables and such. * You can now chop lists. * Perl now uses /bin/csh to do filename globbing, if available. This means that filenames with spaces or other strangenesses work right. * New functions: mkdir and rmdir, getppid, getpgrp and setpgrp, getpriority and setpriority, chroot, ioctl and fcntl, flock, readlink, lstat, rindex, pack and unpack, read, warn, dbmopen and dbmclose, dump, reverse, defined, undef.
* perl 2.0 (no announcement message available)perl-2.0Larry Wall1988-06-051-32/+103
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the enhancements from Perl1 included: * New regexp routines derived from Henry Spencer's. o Support for /(foo|bar)/. o Support for /(foo)*/ and /(foo)+/. o \s for whitespace, \S for non-, \d for digit, \D nondigit * Local variables in blocks, subroutines and evals. * Recursive subroutine calls are now supported. * Array values may now be interpolated into lists: unlink 'foo', 'bar', @trashcan, 'tmp'; * File globbing. * Use of <> in array contexts returns the whole file or glob list. * New iterator for normal arrays, foreach, that allows both read and write. * Ability to open pipe to a forked off script for secure pipes in setuid scripts. * File inclusion via do 'foo.pl'; * More file tests, including -t to see if, for instance, stdin is a terminal. File tests now behave in a more correct manner. You can do file tests on filehandles as well as filenames. The special filetests -T and -B test a file to see if it's text or binary. * An eof can now be used on each file of the <> input for such purposes as resetting the line numbers or appending to each file of an inplace edit. * Assignments can now function as lvalues, so you can say things like ($HOST = $host) =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/; ($obj = $src) =~ s/\.c$/.o/; * You can now do certain file operations with a variable which holds the name of a filehandle, e.g. open(++$incl,$includefilename); $foo = <$incl>; * Warnings are now available (with -w) on use of uninitialized variables and on identifiers that are mentioned only once, and on reference to various undefined things. * There is now a wait operator. * There is now a sort operator. * The manual is now not lying when it says that perl is generally faster than sed. I hope.
* perl 1.0 patch 9: 3 portability problemsMarnix (ain't unix!) A. van Ammers1988-01-291-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a #define YYDEBUG; in perl.h that ought to be #define YYDEBUG 1. Interesting that it works the former way on any systems at all. Patch 2 was defective and introduced a couple of lines with missing right parens. Learn something old every day... Some awks can't handle awk '$6 != "" {print substr($6,2,100)}' </tmp/Cppsym2$$ ;; if field 6 doesn't exist. Changed conditional to NF > 5. There was also a problem that I fixed in metaconfig that involved Configure grepping .SH files out of MANIFEST when the .SH was only in the commentary. This doesn't affect perl's Configure because there aren't any comments containing .SH in the MANIFEST file. But that's the nice thing about metaconfig--you generate a new Configure script and also get the changes you don't need (yet).
* perl 1.0 patch 8: perl needed an eval operator and a symbolic debuggerLarry Wall1988-01-271-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | I didn't add an eval operator to the original perl because I hadn't thought of any good uses for it. Recently I thought of some. Along with creating the eval operator, this patch introduces a symbolic debugger for perl scripts, which makes use of eval to interpret some debugging commands. Having eval also lets me emulate awk's FOO=bar command line behavior with a line such as the one a2p now inserts at the beginning of translated scripts.

* a "replacement" for awk and sedperl-1.0Larry Wall1987-12-181-0/+196
[ Perl is kind of designed to make awk and sed semi-obsolete. This posting will include the first 10 patches after the main source. The following description is lifted from Larry's manpage. --r$ ] Perl is a interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some of the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with those languages should have little difficulty with it. (Language historians will also note some vestiges of csh, Pascal, and even BASIC-PLUS.) Expression syntax corresponds quite closely to C expression syntax. If you have a problem that would ordinarily use sed or awk or sh, but it exceeds their capabilities or must run a little faster, and you don't want to write the silly thing in C, then perl may be for you. There are also translators to turn your sed and awk scripts into perl scripts.
