* Bareword sub lookupsZefram2009-11-081-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attached is a patch that changes how the tokeniser looks up subroutines, when they're referenced by a bareword, for prototype and const-sub purposes. Formerly, it has looked up bareword subs directly in the package, which is contrary to the way the generated op tree looks up the sub, via an rv2cv op. The patch makes the tokeniser generate the rv2cv op earlier, and dig around in that. The motivation for this is to allow modules to hook the rv2cv op creation, to affect the name->subroutine lookup process. Currently, such hooking affects op execution as intended, but everything goes wrong with a bareword ref where the tokeniser looks at some unrelated CV, or a blank space, in the package. With the patch in place, an rv2cv hook correctly affects the tokeniser and therefore the prototype-based aspects of parsing. The patch also changes ck_subr (which applies the argument context and checking parts of prototype behaviour) to handle subs referenced by an RV const op inside the rv2cv, where formerly it would only handle a gv op inside the rv2cv. This is to support the most likely kind of modified rv2cv op. The attached patch is the resulting revised version of the bareword sub patch. It incorporates the original patch (allowing rv2cv op hookers to control prototype processing), the GV-downgrading addition, and a mention in perldelta.

* Deprecate use of := to mean an empty attribute list in my $pi := 4;Nicholas Clark2009-11-041-3/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | An accident of Perl's parser meant that my $pi := 4; was parsed as an empty attribute list. Empty attribute lists are ignored, hence the above is equivalent to my $pi = 4; However, the fact that it is currently valid syntax means that := cannot be used as new token, without silently changing the meaning of existing code. Hence it is now deprecated, so that it can subsequently be removed, allowing the possibility of := to be used as a new token with new semantics.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | As a minor C function, I feel that at most it should be in "changed internals". However, as it was not part of the public API, and searches showed that nothing was using it, likely nothing is going to break if it goes. And if any naughty code does break: a: It will be at link time b: It will be easy to find the cause from git log I also feel that it's worth removing it, as existing perldeltas are the most obvious guide for new volunteers in terms of "write something like this". So having bad examples isn't going to help educate future authors.
