* Re: Bug in Regular Expressions when using colon as delimiterM.J.T. Guy1997-08-071-0/+3

This illustrates at least three bugs: i) The message is truncated because of the "NUL in argument to die" problem which I reported some time ago (and provided a kludge for in Carp.pm). ii) In any case, it would have produced an incorrect error message. iii) This error and many (most? all?) other parsing errors in regular expressions cause compilation to be terminated. The attached patch fixes (i) and (ii) but not (iii). It also extends the regexp tests to test the error messages generated rather than just note that an error has occurred. Additional points which I'll leave to someone else: a) (iii) needs fixing. b) I note that many regexp error messages are incorrect, as they quote the regexp as /(?/ rather than as (e.g.) m:(?: or s:(?::. c) My understanding of Chip's rework of sprintf was that it now provided a mechanism for including strings with embedded NULs. Could this be used to provide a complete fix for (i) rather than kludging each case as it turns up? d) I strongly suspect that the regexp tests a\ and 'a\'i are not doing what the author intended. I've left them so they say "ok" regardless. (Hint: \' is recognised in a '' string.) p5p-msgid: E0wtbhv-0005Mm-00@ursa.cus.cam.ac.uk

Since _09 is going to be alpha anyway, I reiterate my question: Is there any reason to not include my hash/array performance patches in _09? Btw, here is the next performance patch. It makes PADTMP values stealable too. I do not do by setting TEMP flags on them, since it would be a very distributed patch, and it would break some places which check for TEMP for some other reasons (yes, I checked ;-). This patch decreases *twice* the memory usage of perl -e '$a = "a" x 1e6; 1' Enjoy, p5p-msgid: <199611260308.WAA02677@monk.mps.ohio-state.edu> Subject: Hash key sharing improvements from Ilya.

Nearly all of the changes are VMS-specific, and comprise miscellaneous bugfixes accumulated since 5.003_07, rather than any particular problem with 5.003_08. I'm posting them here since some of the patches change core files, and I'd like to insure that I haven't accidentally created problems for anyone else. With these and a couple of of the small patches already send to p5p, 5.003_08 builds clean and passes all tests under VMS. Thanks, Chip, for all the work. p5p-msgid: <1996Nov22.181631.1603238@hmivax.humgen.upenn.edu>

Obviously, if you consult the bugs database, you'll note there are still plenty of buglets that need fixing, and several enhancements that I've intended to put in still haven't made it in (Hi, Tim and Ilya). But I think it'll be pretty stable. And you can start to fiddle around with prototypes (which are, of course, still totally undocumented). Packrats, don't worry too much about readvertising this widely. Nowadays we're on a T1 here, so our bandwidth is okay. Have the appropriate amount of jollity. Larry

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To apply, change to your perl directory, run the command above, then apply with patch -p1 -N < thispatch. Highlights of this patch include: 1. Fixes for $sitelib, $d_stdio_ptr_lval, and $d_stdio_cnt_lval when config.sh is re-used. 2. Move embed.h, keywords.h, and opcode.h dependencies to a special regen_headers target that is ordinarily not used. This is now analogous to the run_byacc target. As a cosmetic side-effect, I transliterated embed_h.sh into embed.pl so that it can run on non-unix systems as well. 3. Tests for gdbm_{sync,exists,setopt} in GDBM_File (needed for Slackware 2.1). For good measure, I've also thrown in the following patches I pulled off the list, mostly unmodified from the originals. 1. Larry's "unofficial official" fix for the subroutine array context problem. 2. Tim's __DATA__ patch. (I kept forgetting about this one.) 3. Malcom's USE_OP_MASK patch to pave the way for his Safe extension. 4. Spider's suggested renaming of regexec to pregexec and regcomp to pregcomp to avoid conflicts with POSIX symbols on Digital Unix. (I only added a brief explanatory comment to the relevant .c files.) 5. Spider's installperl patch to avoid installing *.orig and and the .exists files. (I changed this a little to include patch's ~ suffix, which is used on systems with short file names (in some versions of patch)). 6. Raphael's "safe_unlink" patch to installperl, in case a copy of perl is currently runniung. 7. xsubpp 1.9. 8. Tim's lib.pm module (with patched corrected spelling of 2nd :-). 9. Tim's Exporter module version patches. 10. Tim's MakeMaker patches for make test when LINKTYPE=static. 11. Randal's pod2html patches. 12. Spider's "picky compiler" patches for x2p/util.[ch] 13. Paul's updated source filtering patches. Patch and enjoy. I hope nothing breaks :-). Andy Dougherty doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu Dept. of Physics Lafayette College, Easton PA 18042

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I tried to take the strlen of an integer on systems without wait4() or waitpid(). For some reason this didn't work too well... In hash.c there was a call to dbm_nextkey() which needed to be ifdefed on old dbm systems. A pattern such as /foo.*bar$/ was wrongly optimized to do tail matching on "foo". This was a longstanding bug that was unmasked by patch 36. Some systems have some SYS V IPC but not all of it. Configure now figures this out. Patch 36 put the user's PATH in front of Configures, but to make it work right I needed to change all calls of loc to ./loc in Configure. $cryptlib needed to be mentioned in the Makefile. Apollo 10.3 and Sun 3.5 have some compilation problems, so I mentioned them in README. Cray has weird restrictions on setjmp locations--you can't say if (result = setjmp(...)) Random typos and cleanup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Certain systems, notable Ultrix, set the close-on-exec flag by default on dup'ed file descriptors. This is anti-social when you're creating a new STDOUT. The flag is now forced off for STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. Some yaccs report 29 shift/reduce conflicts and 59 reduce/reduce conflicts, while other yaccs and bison report 27 and 61. The Makefile now says to expect either thing. I'm not sure if there's a bug lurking there somewhere. The defined(@array) and defined(%array) ended up defining the arrays they were trying to determine the status of. Oops. Using the status of NSIG to determine whether <signal.h> had been included didn't work right on Xenix. A fix seems to be beyond Configure at the moment, so we've got some OS dependent #ifdefs in there. There were some syntax errors in the new code to determine whether it is safe to emulate rename() with unlink/link/unlink. Obviously heavily tested code... :-) Patch 27 introduced the possibility of using identifiers as unquoted strings, but the code to warn against the use of totally lowercase identifiers looped infinitely. I documented that you can't interpolate $) or $| in pattern. It was actually implied under s///, but it should have been more explicit. Patterns with {m} rather than {m,n} didn't work right. Tests io.fs and op.stat had difficulties under AFS. They now ignore the tests in question if they think they're running under /afs. The shift/reduce expectation message was off for a2p's Makefile.

* perl 3.0: (no announcement message available)perl-3.000Larry Wall1989-10-181-0/+1233
A few of the new features: (18 Oct) * Perl can now handle binary data correctly and has functions to pack and unpack binary structures into arrays or lists. You can now do arbitrary ioctl functions. * You can now pass things to subroutines by reference. * Debugger enhancements. * An array or associative array may now appear in a local() list. * Array values may now be interpolated into strings. * Subroutine names are now distinguished by prefixing with &. You can call subroutines without using do, and without passing any argument list at all. * You can use the new -u switch to cause perl to dump core so that you can run undump and produce a binary executable image. Alternately you can use the "dump" operator after initializing any variables and such. * You can now chop lists. * Perl now uses /bin/csh to do filename globbing, if available. This means that filenames with spaces or other strangenesses work right. * New functions: mkdir and rmdir, getppid, getpgrp and setpgrp, getpriority and setpriority, chroot, ioctl and fcntl, flock, readlink, lstat, rindex, pack and unpack, read, warn, dbmopen and dbmclose, dump, reverse, defined, undef.
