* [differences between cumulative patch application and perl5.004_01]perl-5.004_01Tim Bunce1997-06-111-1/+37
| | | | | | | | | [editor's note: The changes between this and 5.004 were processed from the m1t2 release, which was a bad idea as it was the _01 release which had the final corrected attributions. The differences between the various m*t* releases do that; I considered it most valuable just to look at the _NN releases. Many patches have been separated out and/or applied from the p5p archives nonetheless.]

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 ...

Subject: Defined scoping for C<my> in control structures From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net> Files: op.c perly.c perly.c.diff perly.h perly.y proto.h toke.c Finally defines semantics of "my" in control expressions, like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits its scope to the loop. Subject: Fix ++/-- after int conversion (e.g. 'printf "%d"') From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net> Files: pp.c pp_hot.c sv.c This patch makes Perl correctly ignore SvIVX() if either NOK or POK is true, since SvIVX() may be a truncated or overflowed version of the real value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [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

[editor's note: this commit combines approximate 4 months of furious releases of Andy Dougherty and Larry Wall - see pod/perlhist.pod for details. Andy notes that; Alas neither my "Irwin AccuTrack" nor my DC 600A quarter-inch cartridge backup tapes from that era seem to be readable anymore. I guess 13 years exceeds the shelf life for that backup technology :-(. ]
