* autodoc.pl: Specify scn for single-purpose filesKarl Williamson2020-11-061-3/+0
| | | | | | | | Many of the files in perl are for one thing only, and hence their embedded documentation will be for that one thing. By creating a hash here of them, those files don't have to worry about what section that documentation goes under, and so it can be completely changed without affecting them.
* Remove redundant documentationKarl Williamson2020-09-051-0/+14
| | | | | | Now that we can get automatic links in perlapi, remove the redundant stripped-down documentation that goes there in favor of the better documentation in perlcall.
* perlcall: Add some C<>Karl Williamson2020-09-051-2/+2

* perlapi: Don't display usage for PL_errgvKarl Williamson2020-09-051-1/+1
|
* Reorganize perlapiKarl Williamson2020-09-041-0/+3
| | | | | This uses a new organization of sections that I came up with. I asked for comments on p5p, but there were none.
* Note that PL_errgv is documentedKarl Williamson2019-09-021-0/+2

* perlcall: Remove redundant dSPFather Chrysostomos2016-08-121-2/+0
| | | | | | call_argv does not use a stack pointer. This example has had the redundant dSP since perl 5.000, presumably due to copying and pasting from another example.
* Fix various pod errors.Karl Williamson2016-03-111-45/+46
| | | | Mostly these are too long verbatim lines.
* make gimme consistently U8David Mitchell2016-02-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The value of gimme stored in the context stack is U8. Make all other uses in the main core consistent with this. My primary motivation on this was that the new function cx_pushblock(), which I gave a 'U8 gimme' parameter, was generating warnings where callers were passing I32 gimme vars to it. Rather than play whack-a-mole, it seemed simpler to just uniformly use U8 everywhere. Porting/bench.pl shows a consistent reduction of about 2 instructions on the loop and sub benchmarks, so this change isn't harming performance.
* Start fixing some pod pedantic errorsKarl Williamson2015-09-031-1/+3
| | | | This fixes a bunch of them, but there are many more
* [perl #120903] fix a typoTony Cook2015-09-031-1/+1
| | | | or should that be "fix an typo"
* [perl #120903] perlcall cleanupTony Cook2015-09-021-54/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - linkify references to sections - use EXTEND(SP, n) and PUSHs() instead of XPUSHs() where applicable and update prose to match - add POPu, POPul and POPpbytex to the "complete list of POP macros" and clarify the documentation for some of the existing entries, and a note about side-effects - add API documentation for POPu and POPul - use ERRSV more efficiently - approaches to thread-safety storage of SVs. - minor updates
* Remove "register" declarationsKarl Williamson2012-11-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | This finishes the removal of register declarations started by eb578fdb5569b91c28466a4d1939e381ff6ceaf4. It neglected the ones in function parameter declarations, and didn't include things in dist, ext, and lib, which this does include

* Trim multiple blank lines above =item in pod files.Nicholas Clark2011-06-221-1/+0
| | | | | | This makes many documents more consistent in their pod formatting. Don't trim blank lines between verbatim blocks and =item, as removing them makes the (raw) pod harder to read.

* perlcall: dangling modifierFather Chrysostomos2011-01-171-1/+1
| | | | | | Whilst ‘whilst’ is nice, the sentence as it was before this change indicated that the stack was in the call_pv call (whatever that means).
* More perlcall clean-upFather Chrysostomos2011-01-171-24/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not good style to join two independent clauses with a comma, it just does not read well. Hyphenate ‘multi word’ adjective Inconsistent use of - vs. -- for a dash. Missing commas Other punctuation errors Terribly Inconsistent capitalisation in =head2’s Other grammatical errors or unclear phrases
* Some perlcall clean-upFather Chrysostomos2011-01-171-2/+2
| | | | | | Multi word adjectives should be hyphenated. A preposition should not be used like it’s a conjunction.
* G_VOID, G_SCALAR, and G_ARRAY are not separate bits anymoreNiko Tyni2010-11-061-4/+3
| | | | | | | | Commit 2f8edad0d37e91319b6ba10b3745327ea49c179 made G_ARRAY equal to G_SCALAR | G_VOID, contrary to perlcall.pod. Bring the documentation up to date and add a test to prevent a similar (although unlikely) accident in the future.
* better documentation for eval_sv() and G_KEEPERRDavid Mitchell2010-10-031-2/+6
|
* bring G_KEEPERR back to the realm of sanityZefram2010-04-231-24/+24
| | | | | | | | | Makes the G_KEEPERR logic more consistent, and in particular make it sensibly handle non-string exceptions. An exception in a destructor is now always emitted as a warning, and never copied or merged into $@ of the surrounding context. No more clobbering exceptions being handled elsewhere, and no more double reporting. This fixes the rest of [perl #74538].
* * Em dash cleanup in pod/brian d foy2010-01-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I looked at all the instances of spaces around -- and in most cases converted the sentences to use more appropriate punctuation. In general, the -- in the perl docs seem to be there only to make really complicated and really long sentences. I didn't look at the closed em-dashes. They probably have the same sentence-complexity problem. I left some open em-dashes in place. Those are the ones used in lists.
