* C backtrace tweaks.Jarkko Hietaniemi2014-06-111-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | Rename the environment variable that triggers the backtrace before warns and croaks as PERL_USE_C_BACKTRACE_ON_ERROR (and correspondingly, the define as USE_C_BACKTRACE_ON_ERROR). Pod cleanups and updates, and move the needed #includes from perl.h to util.c since that's the only place where they are needed.
* Add C backtrace API.Jarkko Hietaniemi2014-06-071-0/+72
| | | | | | | | Useful for at least debugging. Supported in Linux and OS X (possibly to some extent in *BSD). See perlhacktips for details.
* perlapi: Refactor placements, headings of some functionsKarl Williamson2014-06-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not very user friendly to list functions as "Functions found in file FOO". Better is to group them by purpose, as many were already. I went through and placed the ones that weren't already so grouped into groups. Patches welcome if you have a better classification. I changed the headings of some so that the important disctinction was the first word so that they are placed in the file more appropriately. And a couple of ones that I had created myself, I came up with a name that I think is better than the original
* Add a USING_MSVC6 macro to identify Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0Steve Hay2013-09-191-3/+1
| | | | | | | This simplifies some of the logic necessary for coping with its various problems. Suggested by Nicholas Clark.
* Update the comment in util.h related to HAS_QUAD and U64TYPE.Nicholas Clark2013-09-181-1/+3

* Fix the VC6 build on Windows following commit 3be8f09452Steve Hay2013-09-131-2/+5
| | | | | | The VC6 compiler has slightly flaky support for __int64 and chokes on util.c when using the 64-bit implementation of drand48, so switch it to the 32-bit version instead.
* [perl #115928] a consistent (public) rand() implementationTony Cook2013-09-131-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Yves's random branch work. This version makes the new random number visible to external modules, for example, List::Util's XS shuffle() implementation. I've also added a 64-bit implementation when HAS_QUAD is true, this should be significantly faster, even on 32-bit CPUs. This is intended to produce exactly the same sequence as the original implementation. The original version of this commit retained the "freebsd" name from Yves's original work for the function and data structure names. I've removed "freebsd" from most function names so the name isn't an issue if we choose to replace the implementation,
* Change core calls of isALNUM() to isWORDCHAR()Karl Williamson2012-12-311-1/+1
| | | | The latter is more clearly named to indicate it includes the underscore.
* Remove the EPOC port.Nicholas Clark2012-11-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | EPOC was a family of operating systems developed by Psion for mobile devices. It was the predecessor of Symbian. The port was last updated in April 2002.
* update the editor hints for spaces, not tabsRicardo Signes2012-05-291-2/+2
| | | | | This updates the editor hints in our files for Emacs and vim to request that tabs be inserted as spaces.
* Change name of ibcmp to foldEQKarl Williamson2010-06-051-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed on p5p, ibcmp has different semantics from other cmp functions in that it is a binary instead of ternary function. It is less confusing then to have a name that implies true/false. There are three functions affected: ibcmp, ibcmp_locale and ibcmp_utf8. ibcmp is actually equivalent to foldNE, but for the same reason that things like 'unless' and 'until' are cautioned against, I changed the functions to foldEQ, so that the existing names, like ibcmp_utf8 are defined as macros as being the complement of foldEQ. This patch also changes the one file where turning ibcmp into a macro causes problems. It changes it to use the new name. It also documents for the first time ibcmp, ibcmp_locale and their new names.
* Remove all #ifdef MACOS_TRADITIONAL code in core and non-dual-life XS code.Nicholas Clark2009-04-271-5/+1
| | | | | | | | (MacOS support was removed from MakeMaker in 6.22, and merged to blead on 15th December 2004 with 5dca256ec738057dc331fb644a93eca44ad5fa14. After this point MacOS wouldn't even have been able to build the perl binary, because it would not have been able to build DynaLoader. If anyone wishes to resurrect MacOS, start by reversing this commit and the relevant part of that commit.)

Now Configure appends the user's path to its own. Some machines need <netinet/in.h> included in order to define certain macros for packing or unpacking network order data. On Suns, the shared library is used by default. If it doesn't contain something contained in /lib/libc.a, then Configure was getting things wrong (such as gethostent()). Now Configure uses the shared library if it's there in preference to libc.a. When gcc was selected as the compiler, the cc flags defaulted to -fpcc_struct_return. Unfortunately, the underlines should be hyphens. Configure figures out if BSD shadow passwords are installed and the getpw* routines now return slightly different data in the affected fields. Some of the prompts in Configure with regard to gid and uid types were unclear as to their intended use. They are now a little clearer. Sometimes you could change a .h file and taintperl and suidperl didn't get remade correctly because of missing dependencies in the Makefile. The README file was misleading about the fact that you have to say "make test" before you can "cd t; TEST" The reverse operator was busted in two different ways. Should work better now. There are now regression tests for it. Some of the optimizations that perl does are disabled after period of time if perl decides they aren't doing any good. One of these caused a string to be freed that was later referenced via another pointer, causing core dumps. The free turned out to be unnecessary, so it was removed. The unless modifier was broken when run under the debugger, due to the invert() routine in perl.y inverting the logic on the DB subroutine call instead of the command the unless was modifying. Configure vfork test was backwards. It now works like other defines. The numeric switch optimization was broken, and caused code to be bypassed. This has been fixed. A split in a subroutine that has no target splits into @_. Unfortunately, this wrongly freed any referenced arguments passed in through @_, causing confusing behavior later in the program. File globbing (<foo.*>) left one orphaned string each time it called the shell to do the glob. RCS expanded an unintended $Header in lib/perldb.pl. This has been fixed simply by replacing the $ with a . Some forward declarations of static functions were missing from malloc.c. There's a strut in malloc for mips machines to extend the overhead union to the size of a double. This was also enabled for sparc machines. DEC risc machines are reported to have a buggy memcmp. I've put some conditional code into perl.h which I think will undef MEMCMP appropriately. In perl.man.4, I documented the desirability of using parens even where they aren't strictly necessary. I've grandfathered "format stdout" to be the same as "format STDOUT". Unary operators can be called with no argument. The corresponding function call form using empty parens () didn't work right, though it did for certain functions in 2.0. It now works in 3.0. The string ordering tests were wrong for pairs of strings in which one string was a prefix of the other. This affected lt, le, gt, ge, and the sort operator when used with no subroutine. $/ didn't work with the stupid code used when STDSTDIO was undefined. The stupid code has been replaced with smarter code that can do it right. Special thanks to Piet van Oostrum for the code. Goulds work better if the union in STR is at an 8 byte boundary. The fields were rearranged somewhat to provide this. "sort keys %a" should now work right (though parens are still desirable for readability). bcopy() needed a forward declaration on some machines. In x2p/Makefile.SH, added dependency on ../config.sh so that it gets linked down from above if it got removed for some reason.
* perl 3.0: (no announcement message available)perl-3.000Larry Wall1989-10-181-9/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* perl 2.0 (no announcement message available)perl-2.0Larry Wall1988-06-051-21/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the enhancements from Perl1 included: * New regexp routines derived from Henry Spencer's. o Support for /(foo|bar)/. o Support for /(foo)*/ and /(foo)+/. o \s for whitespace, \S for non-, \d for digit, \D nondigit * Local variables in blocks, subroutines and evals. * Recursive subroutine calls are now supported. * Array values may now be interpolated into lists: unlink 'foo', 'bar', @trashcan, 'tmp'; * File globbing. * Use of <> in array contexts returns the whole file or glob list. * New iterator for normal arrays, foreach, that allows both read and write. * Ability to open pipe to a forked off script for secure pipes in setuid scripts. * File inclusion via do 'foo.pl'; * More file tests, including -t to see if, for instance, stdin is a terminal. File tests now behave in a more correct manner. You can do file tests on filehandles as well as filenames. The special filetests -T and -B test a file to see if it's text or binary. * An eof can now be used on each file of the <> input for such purposes as resetting the line numbers or appending to each file of an inplace edit. * Assignments can now function as lvalues, so you can say things like ($HOST = $host) =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/; ($obj = $src) =~ s/\.c$/.o/; * You can now do certain file operations with a variable which holds the name of a filehandle, e.g. open(++$incl,$includefilename); $foo = <$incl>; * Warnings are now available (with -w) on use of uninitialized variables and on identifiers that are mentioned only once, and on reference to various undefined things. * There is now a wait operator. * There is now a sort operator. * The manual is now not lying when it says that perl is generally faster than sed. I hope.
* a "replacement" for awk and sedperl-1.0Larry Wall1987-12-181-0/+36
[ Perl is kind of designed to make awk and sed semi-obsolete. This posting will include the first 10 patches after the main source. The following description is lifted from Larry's manpage. --r$ ] Perl is a interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some of the best features of C, sed, awk, and sh, so people familiar with those languages should have little difficulty with it. (Language historians will also note some vestiges of csh, Pascal, and even BASIC-PLUS.) Expression syntax corresponds quite closely to C expression syntax. If you have a problem that would ordinarily use sed or awk or sh, but it exceeds their capabilities or must run a little faster, and you don't want to write the silly thing in C, then perl may be for you. There are also translators to turn your sed and awk scripts into perl scripts.
