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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [editor's note: no patch file was found for this release, so no fine-grained changes] I can't find the password for our ftp server, so I had to drop it into ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/incoming/perl5.002b3.tar.gz, which is a drop directory you can't ls. The current plan is that Andy is gonna whack on this a little more, and then release a gamma in a few days when he's happy with it. So don't get carried away. This is now *late* beta. In other words, have less than the appropriate amount of fun. :-) Larry

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you're adventurous, have a look at ftp://ftp.sems.com/pub/outgoing/perl5.0/perl5.002beta1.tar.gz Many thanks to Andy for doing the integration. 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

After you apply this patch, I would recommend: rm config.sh sh Configure [whatever options you use] make depend make make test Here are the highlights: All pod documentation now installed, along with corresponding man pages, if possible (Configure allows you to change this). cppstdin no longer points back to the build directory. This necessitated two changes to the test suite: comp/cpp.t is now a front end that punts if cppstdin is not yet available (the old perl4 trick doesn't work for perl5). The op/misc.t test ./perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' has been dropped since I couldn't think of an elegant way to bypass it for systems that need the cppstdin wrapper. Grand autoload patch included (minus the installperl, lib/, and ext/ changes). The lib/ changes are in patch.1g, and the ext/ changes are in patch.1h. Better detection and use of stdio variants, especially on SVR4. Sarathy's consolidated patches (for ties) included. New filter stuff included. Three patches from Larry (gv.c, toke.c, pp_ctl.c) Patch and enjoy, Andy Dougherty doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu Dept. of Physics Lafayette College Easton, PA 18042 Here's the file-by-file breakdown of what's included: Changes.Conf Document changes in the Configure & build process. Configure Upgrade to metaconfig PL55. Add /opt hierarchy to paths searched for programs. Tye McQueen's updated std stdio testing. Prompting for installation info for perl module pages. Add possible SITELIB to include site-specific include directories. By default this is disabled, but it seemed a neat idea now that the standard perl library is getting so big. Check that the compiler chosen exists and actually supports the options the user specified. Correctly sort multiple shared library version numbers. Use a compile & link test for gconvert(), dlopen(), and dlerror(). Do not include build directory name in cppstdin wrapper. MANIFEST Updated. Makefile.SH Reorganized a bit to support separate install.perl and install.man targets to use the new installman script and to accomodate those who don't want to install the man pages. Organize cleanup of .SH files a little better. No longer automatically make the pod/*.man files. This is done by installman only if requested. Include additional error messages and info for regenerating the automatically maintained header files. Add 'minitest' target. README Updated. README.vms Fix perl5-porters subscription info. config_H Updated. config_h.SH Updated. configpm Embedded pod. configure GNU configure-like front end to metaconfig's Configure. Only supports a few options. doio.c Updated to use new std stdio testing. embed.h Add new symbols for filtering. global.sym see embed.h. gv.c C<sub method;> patch from lwall. hints/README.hints Updated. hints/aux.sh Updated. hints/cxux.sh Updated. hints/epix.sh New file. hints/freebsd.sh Updated. hints/irix_4.sh Updated. hints/irix_5.sh Updated. hints/irix_6.sh Updated. hints/linux.sh Updated. hints/powerunix.sh Updated. installman New file to install pod/*.pod and lib/*.p(m|od) man pages. installperl Move installation of man pages over to installman script. Install pod/*.pod files in $privlib/pod/. Preserve timestamps on .a files. makedepend.SH Now includes . and .. in PATH to explicitly find cppstdin wrapper. opcode.h opcode.pl shmwrite fix. perl.c Changed unofficial patchlevel message. Included optional SITELIB directory. perl.h #include <memory.h> cryptswitch gone/filters added. EUNICE replaced by UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS. Only matters for VMS. perldoc.SH New file. pod/perl.pod Describe where modpods are. pp_ctl.c sort bug fix from lwall. pp_hot.c csh glob bug fix from tchrist. Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey pp_sys.c Emulate flock with lockf, if possible. Use new std stdio unit. proto.h Filters stuff. prototype for unlnk() is only needed #if UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS sv.c Sarathy's consolidated "tie" patch for NETaa13753 N 2 trey Sarathy's consolidated patch for nested ties. Use new std stdio unit. t/comp/cpp.aux New file. This only gets called if cppstdin is avaiable. t/comp/cpp.t Calls cpp.aux test only if cppstdin is available. t/op/misc.t Drop perl -P -e 'use POSIX;' test. it couldn't work on systems without the cppstdin wrapper installed, and is usually misleading when it fails anyway. toke.c filter stuff. fix for NETaa13798 from lwall. unixish.h undef UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS since it's irrelevant for unix. util.c s/EUNICE/UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS/ for the unlnk() function. vms/config.vms VMS updates from Charles Bailey. std stdio updates to match changes in perl sources. add UNLINK_ALL_VERSIONS constant, but leave it #undef. vms/ext/MM_VMS.pm vms/ext/VMS/stdio/stdio.xs vms/perlvms.pod vms/vms.c VMS updates from Charles Bailey. x2p/Makefile.SH Updated to match man page Configure questions. Slight clean-up on .SH targets. x2p/str.c Use new std stdio unit.

[editor's note: this commit combines approximate 4 months of furious releases of Andy Dougherty and Larry Wall - see pod/perlhist.pod for details. Andy notes that; Alas neither my "Irwin AccuTrack" nor my DC 600A quarter-inch cartridge backup tapes from that era seem to be readable anymore. I guess 13 years exceeds the shelf life for that backup technology :-(. ]
