| | | | | | | | | | | | things, but does not address the "this version" != 5.14 and the perlio issues. I believe that these at least should be addressed as soon as possible (I don't know whether that means 5.14; probably not). It has to either say the particular version that applies. We can't keep releasing things that say this version: they are not trustable. --tom (cherry picked from commit f4750dabedb3961d2aa3fec0bc3a92de1ebc06b6)

* Store the compiled format in mg_ptr instead of after SvCUR() - fixes RT #89218Nicholas Clark2011-05-301-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formats are compiled down to a sequence of U32 opcodes in doparseform(). Previously the block of opcodes was stored in the buffer of SvPVX() after the raw string by extending the buffer, and calculating the first U32 aligned address after SvCUR(). A flag bit on the scalar was set to signal this hackery, tested with SvCOMPILED() The flag bit used happened to be the same as one of the two used by to signal Boyer-Moore compiled scalars. The assumption was that no scalar can be used for both. Unfortunately, this isn't quite true. Given that the scalar is alway upgraded to PVMG to add PERL_MAGIC_fm magic, to clear the cached compiled version, there's no extra memory cost in using mg_ptr in the MAGIC struct to point directly to the block of U32 opcodes. The test for "is there a compiled version" can switch to mg_find(..., PERL_MAGIC_fm) returning a pointer, and the use of a flag bit abolished. Retain SvCOMPILED() and SvCOMPILED_{on,off}() as compatibility for XS code on CPAN - the first is always 0, the other two now no-ops.

* "fix bug; also prefix ?? matches with m due to 5.14 deprecation"Tom Christiansen2011-05-081-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I also fixed a bug in the original. I'm always getting C<eof> vs C<eof()> swapped in my brain, which is what had happened here. The old code didn't do what it said it did because it contrary to the comments didn't reset at each eof -- because it used the C<eof()> form which is all of ARGV rather than bare C<eof> for the last file read, and thus each per-file component of ARGV. I am concerned about the two paragraphs previous to that, because they use eof() and I am not perfectly clear that they should. But I left them as is. Jesse asked for "a lot of eyes", so if folks could please look at this patch and see whether it looks ok, I'd appreciate it. I did test it under blead, both with and without the prefixed m on the m?? matches, which is how I discovered it was buggy with the C<eof()> not C<eof>. --tom

| | | | | | | | | | | • Remove C<...> around get-magic and set-magic. Those are prose descriptions of what is known internally as mg_get, SvGETMAGIC, SVs_GMG, etc. • Re-instate the message that 804b5feed removed, but in the form in which it appears in perldiag. • Remove the thing about version class methods. It’s a bug fix, not a problem (whether known or unknown :-), and not a significant one. • Spelling mistake

I'd have been happier getting this patch in earlier in the cycle. We'd hoped to replace the RNG, but that didn't happen in time, so this doc update is the "better, still not good" fallback.
