* [perl #96126] Allocate CvFILE more simplyFather Chrysostomos2011-08-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | See the thread starting at: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2011/07/msg175161.html Instead of assuming that only Perl subs have mallocked CvFILEs and only under threads, resulting in various hackery to borrow parts of the SvPVX buffer where that assumption proves wrong, we can simply add another flag (DYNFILE) to indicate whether CvFILE is mallocked, instead of trying to use the ISXSUB flag for two purposes. This simplifies the code greatly, eliminating bug #96126 in the pro- cess (which had to do with sv_dup not knowing about the hackery that this commit removes). I removed that comment from cv_ckproto_len about CONSTSUBs doubling up the buffer field, as it is no longer relevant. But I still left the code as it is, since it’s better to do an explicit length check.

* Make lock(&foo) syntax nominally lock the subroutineFather Chrysostomos2011-08-152-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 5.10, lock(&foo) was an error for non-lvalue subs. For lvalue subs, it passed &foo to the lockhook and return \&foo. In 5.12, lock(&foo) was still an error for non-lvalue subs. For lvalue subs, it would pass &foo to the lockhook and then either trip an assertion (-DDEBUGGING) or return &foo, resulting in inter- esting bugs. Commit f4df43b5e changed lock(&lvalue_sub) to call the sub and lock its return value. As Reini Urban pointed out in <CAHiT=DE5cVZbuCR3kb=Q5oCa18vo3jr5jZKmURHYha2PwF4pEQ@mail.gmail.com>, locking a subroutine does have its uses. Since lock(&foo) has never really worked anyway, we can still change this. So, for lvalue subs, this reverts back to the 5.10 behaviour. For non-lvalue subs, it now behaves the same way, the lvalue flag making no difference. Note that it still causes an error at run-time, if threads::shared is loaded, as its lockhook is conservative in what it accepts. But this change allows for future extensibility, unlike f4df43b5e. A note about the implementation: There are two pieces of code (at least) in op.c that convert an entersub op into an rv2cv, one in S_doref and the other in Perl_op_lvalue_flags. Originally (before f4df43b5e) it was S_doref that took care of that for OP_LOCK. But Perl_op_lvalue_flags is called first, so it would assume it was an assignment to a sub call and croak if there was no lvalue sub in the symbol table. This commit adds back the special case for OP_LOCK, but in Perl_op_lvalue_flags, not S_doref.

* perldelta for &CORE::fooFather Chrysostomos2011-08-141-1/+24

* Add inlinable &CORE::functionsFather Chrysostomos2011-08-142-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit allows this to work: BEGIN { *entangle = \&CORE::tie }; entangle $foo, $package; And the entangle call gets inlined as a tie op, the resulting op tree being indistinguishable. These subs are not yet callable via &foo syntax or through a refer- ence. That will come later, except for some functions, like sort(), which will probably never support it. Almost all overridable functions are supported. These few are not: - infix operators - not and getprotobynumber (can’t get the precedence right yet; prototype problem) - dump Subsequent commits (hopefully!) will deal with those. How this works: gv_fetchpvn_flags is extended with hooks to create subs inside the CORE package. Those subs are XSUBs (whose C function dies with an error, for now at least) with a call checker that blows away the entersub op and replaces it with whatever op the sub represents. This is slightly inefficient right now, as gv_fetchpvn_flags calls keyword(), only to have core_prototype call it again. That will be fixed in a future refactoring.

* Add __FILE__ and its minions to perlfuncFather Chrysostomos2011-08-121-1/+17

* Revert "[perl #95550] Remove prototypes from (l)stat"Father Chrysostomos2011-08-121-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out this problem is more knotty than I initially realised. stat had a prototype of (*), even though it could be called with no arguments. Since the (*) prototype does not parse its argument the same way that stat parses *its* argument, I thought that changing (*) to (;*) would be no better, since it’s still not correct. So I simply set the prototype to undef. My thinking was faulty, for two reasons: • The prototype serves to indicate the precedence, not just the types of arguments. An undefined prototype on an overridable prefix func- tion implies that it takes a list. So this causes problems for the imminent &CORE::subs feature, as there is not yet a clean mechanism for CVs to parse their arguments. • The (*) prototype character does not parse the same way as *any* built-in function with that character in its prototype. So stat is no worse than any other built-in. It doesn’t make sense to remove the prototype from stat without removing it from about 40 other built-in functions; and that’s where pedantry conflicts with usefulness. This commit restores the (*) prototype to stat and lstat. The next commit will give it a (;*) prototype, as that matches it more closely. It’s not perfect, but it’s no worse that other built-ins with a * in their prototypes.
* Simplify embedvar.h, removing a level of macro indirection for PL_* variables.Nicholas Clark2011-08-111-1/+13
| | | | | | | For the default (non-multiplicity) configuration, PERLVAR*() macros now directly expand their arguments to tokens such as C<PL_defgv>, instead of expanding to C<PL_Idefgv>. This removes over 350 lines from F<embedvar.h>, which defined macros to map from C<PL_Idefgv> to C<PL_defgv> and so forth.

* Don't use [.lib.pods] staging directory in VMS builds.Craig A. Berry2011-08-051-35/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | It's arduous to maintain all the dependency rules, and since 7eb47696de, which removed the only reference to $(pod), we don't even *run* any of those rules, i.e., the directory does not even get populated during the build. Its existence appears to be a carryover from a time before installperl copied [.pods] in the build directory to [.lib.pods] in the install directory. Reducing the size of vms/descrip_mms.template by 44% probably won't cause too many tears to be shed, either.

* Support gcc-4.x on HP-UX PA-RISC/64H.Merijn Brand2011-08-041-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Correct the socketsize. Probably due to big-endian versus little-endian, this has always worked on Intel CPUs. This is a very very old problem, and it has been the reason I never used gcc-4 on PA-RISC, because perl would not pass the test suite in 64bitall. Noticeable effects of wrong "$socksizetype" are return codes of 0 (pass) from functions like getpeername (), but invalid (or none) data in the returned structures or a return length of 0 or 256. In the latter case, the length is stored in the second part of the 64bit long and the 32bit first part is 0. This might be true on Intel-like machines too, but the tests will pass, as the significant part of the returned length is in the first 32bits and a pointer to int will still see that correct. Mind that in that case the 32bits after that might have been overridden => can of worms.
