| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Fix overlapping memcpy test. Add check for ld. Use $cc instead, if on an ELF system. With -d, don't reuse config.sh unless $myuname matches. Warn more explicitly about changing compilers before reloading old config.sh. Detect Linux ELF format in nm scan. Better detection of d_castneg. (ISC 4.1 was passing the test, but couldn't cast in an argument list.) Suggest -fpic for dynamic loading if you're using GNU CC under any name. No longer test for byacc, fmod, or drem, since they are not used. Makefile.SH Use $ld, not ld (only matters for SVR4) Silence some byacc-related harmless error messages. README Suggest using -Dcc=gcc (or whatever). Warn about reusing old config.sh. (The warning was already there in 5.001; I've just expanded it a little.) Warn against using GNU as and GNU ld on SunOS & Solaris. config.H config_h.SH Updated to match Configure. doio.c Add socket includes. ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.xs Fix typo: s/SETFL/F_SETFL/; handy.h Check _G_HAVE_BOOL, not just if it's defined. hints/dynix.sh hints/hpux_9.sh hints/linux.sh hints/netbsd.sh hints/titanos.sh Updated. ELF on linux should probably work. installperl Install pod2html, pod2latex, and pod2man. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Updated to 4.091. (4.09 + a small writedoc() patch.) myconfig Now includes 'ld' command. perl.c Revised an #elif clause since Pyramid's cpp doesn't understand #elif. perl.h Fix U_L, I_V, and I_32 cast macros to ensure that the cast_ulong(), cast_iv(), and cast_i32() functions (if used) are passed a double. In particular, the FIXSTATUS macros were handing int's to U_L(). Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD testing (See util.c). proto.h Remove my_fmod() prototype. (See util.c) sv.h Fix GV/CV typo. util.c Simplified cast_i32() and cast_iv() to mimic what *actually* happens on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.3. (Previously, they did some complicated fmod() calculation. I've since discovered that's not what happens on the SPARC.) With this change, fmod() is no longer necessary. Hence my_fmod is removed. This also means the HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM tests are no longer needed in Configure, so they are gone too. vms/config.vms Remove unnecessary HAS_FMOD and HAS_DREM defines. x2p/Makefile.SH Silence byacc-related things.
* perl5.001 patch.1b: [byacc deps fix, set*id fixes, x2p/walk.c emit_split()Andy Dougherty1995-03-311-34/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fix] This is my patch patch.1b for perl5.001. [Actually, that's a lie. This is just a reposting of two of my patches (removing some byacc dependencies and fixing some set*id stuff) + one version of the x2p/walk.c emit_split() patch. I've just usurped the letter 'b' to fit in my patch sequence. You probably have already applied these as well, but again here they are all packaged up nice and neatly for storage on ftp sites.] Here's one possible solution to the byacc problem. Short summary: make will think your perly.[ch] are out of date because perly.c.diff has changed. They aren't really out of date, but the ordering of the timestamps in the distribution fools make. I had put some traps in perly.fixer to check to make sure that everything got run only if you ran the same version of byacc (1.8) as Larry, but the traps aren't good enough: There's a Cygnus version of byacc out there that also calls itself 1.8 (with a +Cygnus xxx note attached). I don't think I'll ever be able to reliably detect all mutant byacc's, so the safest course of action seems to be to never run byacc. (Yes, the perly.fixer check could be a _lot_ smarter. Volunteers?) This simple-minded fix just puts in a perly.c: perly.y - touch perly.c perly.h: perly.y - touch perly.h to bring perly.[ch] up to date, if needed. The '-' are in case your source is read-only. It also does the same trick in x2p/Makefile.SH. WARNING! Danger! Larry, if you do this, it means you have to explicitly call make run_byacc whenever you change perly.y, perly.c.diff, or cd x2p; make run_byacc if you change x2p/a2p.y. However, it might be worth it. I leave it up to you.

* perl5.000 patch.0e: fix various non-broken things in the x2p/ directoryAndy Dougherty1995-01-181-7/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes various non-broken things in the x2p/ directory. Mostly, I've supplied function prototypes to satisfy particularly picky compilers. I've also updated Makefile.SH to know that the byacc-generated a2p.c is now included with the distribution so that we no longer need to go looking for yacc/bison/byacc and deal with various library issues or command line options to support those various compiler compilers. I've included a2p.c generated by byacc-1.9. Larry, feel free to use your own from byacc-1.8 instead.

* perl 4.0 patch 11: (combined patch)Larry Wall1991-11-051-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Subject: added eval {} Subject: eval 'stuff' now optimized to eval {stuff} This set of patches doesn't have many enhancements but this is one of them. The eval operator has two distinct semantic functions. First, it runs the parser on some random string and executes it. Second, it traps exceptions and returns them in $@. There are times when you'd like to get the second function without the first. In order to do that, you can now eval a block of code, which is parsed like ordinary code at compile time, but which traps any run-time errors and returns them in the $@ variable. For instance, to trap divide by zero errors: eval { $answer = $foo / $bar; }; warn $@ if $@; Since single-quoted strings don't ever change, they are optimized to the eval {} form the first time they are encountered at run-time. This doesn't happen too often, though some of you have written things like eval '&try_this;'. However, the righthand side of s///e is evaluated as a single-quoted string, so this construct should run somewhat faster now. Subject: added sort {} LIST Another enhancement that some of you have been hankering for. You can now inline the sort subroutine as a block where the subroutine name used to go: @articles = sort {$a <=> $b;} readdir(DIR); Subject: added some support for 64-bit integers For Convexen and Crayen, which have 64-bit integers, there's now pack, unpack and sprintf support for 64-bit integers. Subject: sprintf() now supports any length of s field You can now use formats like %2048s and %-8192.8192s. Perl will totally bypass your system's sprintf() function on these. No, you still probably can't say %2048d. No, I'm not going to change that any time soon. Subject: substr() and vec() weren't allowed in an lvalue list Subject: extra comma at end of list is now allowed in more places (Hi, Felix!) Subject: underscore is now allowed within literal octal and hex numbers Various syntactic relaxations. You can now get away with (substr($foo,0,3), substr($bar,0,3)) = ('abc', 'def'); (1,2,3,)[$x]; $addr = 0x1a20_ff0b; Subject: safe malloc code now integrated into Perl's malloc when possible To save a bunch of subroutine calls. If you use your system's malloc it still has to use wrappers. Subject: added support for dbz By saying "make dbzperl" you can make a copy of Perl that can access C news's dbz files. You still have to follow the dbz rules, though, if you're going to try to write a dbz file. Subject: there are now subroutines for calling back from C into Perl Subject: usub/curses.mus now supports SysV curses More C linkage support. I still haven't got Perl embeddable, but we're getting there. That's too big an enhancement for this update, in which I've been trying to stick to bug fixes, with some success. Subject: prepared for ctype implementations that don't define isascii() A larger percentage of this update consists of code to do consistent ctype processing whether or not <ctype.h> is 8-bit clean. Subject: /$foo/o optimizer could access deallocated data Subject: certain optimizations of //g in array context returned too many values Subject: regexp with no parens in array context returned wacky $`, $& and $' Subject: $' not set right on some //g Subject: grep of a split lost its values Subject: # fields could write outside allocated memory Subject: length($x) was sometimes wrong for numeric $x Recently added or modified stuff that you kind of expect to be a bit flaky still. Well, I do... Subject: passing non-existend array elements to subrouting caused core dump Subject: "foo" x -1 dumped core Subject: truncate on a closed filehandle could dump Subject: a last statement outside any block caused occasional core dumps Subject: missing arguments caused core dump in -D8 code Subject: cacheout.pl could dump core from invalid comparison operator Subject: *foo = undef coredumped Subject: warn '-' x 10000 dumped core Subject: index("little", "longer string") could visit faraway places A bunch of natty little bugs that you wouldn't generally run into unless you're trying to be coy. Subject: hex() didn't understand leading 0x It wasn't documented that it should work, but oct() understands 0x, so why not hex()? I dunno... Subject: "foo\0" eq "foo" was sometimes optimized to true Subject: eval confused by string containing null Yet more holdovers from the time before Perl was 8-bit clean. Subject: foreach on null list could spring memory leak Subject: local(*FILEHANDLE) had a memory leak Kind of slow leaks, as leaks go. Still... Subject: minimum match length calculation in regexp is now cumulative More substitutions can be done in place now because Perl knows that patterns like in s/foo\s+bar/1234567/ have to match a certain number of characters total. It used to be on that particular pattern that it only knew that it had to match at least 3 characters. Now it know it has to match at least 7. Subject: multiple reallocations now avoided in 1 .. 100000 You still don't want to say 1 .. 1000000, but at least it will refrain from allocating intermediate sized blocks while it's constructing the value, and won't do the extra copies implied by realloc. Subject: indirect subroutine calls through magic vars (e.g. &$1) didn't work Subject: defined(&$foo) and undef(&$foo) didn't work Subject: certain perl errors should set EBADF so that $! looks better Subject: stats of _ forgot whether prior stat was actually lstat Subject: -T returned true on NFS directory Subject: sysread() in socket was substituting recv() Subject: formats didn't fill their fields as well as they could Subject: ^ fields chopped hyphens on line break Subject: -P didn't allow use of #elif or #undef Subject: $0 was being truncated at times Subject: forked exec on non-existent program now issues a warning Various things you'd expect to work the way you expect, but didn't when you did, or I did, or something... Subject: perl mistook some streams for sockets because they return mode 0 too Subject: reopening STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR failed on some machines Problems opening files portably. So what's new? Subject: cppstdin now installed outside of source directory Subject: installperl now overrides installer's umask People who used cppstdin for the cpp filter or who had their umask set to 700 will now be happier. (And Configure will now prefer /lib/cpp over cppstdin like it used to. If this gives your machine heartburn because /lib/cpp doesn't set the symbols it should, write a hints file to poke them into ccflags.) Subject: initial .* in pattern had dependency on value of $* An initial .* was optimized to have a ^ on the front to avoid retrying when we know it won't match. Unfortunately this implicit ^ was paying attention to $*, which it shouldn't have been. Subject: certain patterns made use of garbage pointers from uncleared memory Many of you saw this as a failure in t/op/pat.t. Subject: perl now issues warning if $SIG{'ALARM'} is referenced Since the book mentions "SIGALARM", I thought we needed this. Subject: solitary subroutine references no longer trigger typo warnings You can now use -w (more) profitably on programs that require other files. I figured if you mistype a subroutine name you'll get a fatal error anyway, unlike a variable, which just defaults to being undefined. Subject: $foo .= <BAR> could overrun malloced memory Good old-fashioned bug. Subject: \$ didn't always make it through double-quoter to regexp routines Subject: \x and \c were subject to double interpretation in regexps Subject: nested list operators could miscount parens Subject: sort eval "whatever" didn't work Syntactic misfeatures of various sorts. Subject: find2perl produced incorrect code for -group Subject: find2perl could be confused by names containing whitespace Subject: in a2p, split on whitespace produced extra null field Translator stuff. Subject: new complete.pl from Wayne Thompson Subject: assert.pl and exceptions.pl from Tom Christiansen Subject: added Tom's c2ph stuff Subject: getcwd.pl from Brandon S. Allbery Subject: fastcwd.pl from John Basik Subject: chat2.pl from Randal L. Schwartz New contributed stuff. Thanks! (Not that a lot of the other stuff isn't contributed too...) Subject: debugger got confused over nested subroutine definitions Subject: once-thru blocks didn't display right in the debugger Subject: perldb.pl modified to run within emacs in perldb-mode Debugger stuff. The first two were caused by not saving line numbers at exactly the right moment. Subject: documented meaning of scalar(%foo) I also updated the Errata section of the man page. Subject: various portability fixes Subject: random cleanup Subject: saberized perl Type casts, saber warning message suppression, hints files and various metaconfig fiddlehoods.

* perl 4.0.00: (no release announcement available)perl-4.0.00Larry Wall1991-03-211-38/+5

* perl 3.0 patch #42 (combined patch)Larry Wall1991-01-111-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of these patches are pretty self-explanatory. Much of this is random cleanup in preparation for version 4.0, so I won't talk about it here. A couple of things should be noted, however. First, there's a new -0 option that allows you to specify (in octal) the initial value of $/, the record separator. It's primarily intended for use with versions of find that support -print0 to delimit filenames with nulls, but it's more general than that: null ^A default CR paragraph mode file slurp mode This feature is so new that it didn't even make it into the book. The other major item is that different patchlevels of perl can now coexist in your bin directory. The names "perl" and "taintperl" are just links to "perl3.044" and "tperl3.044". This has several benefits. The perl3.044 invokes the corresponding tperl3.044 rather than taintperl, so it always runs the correct version. Second, you can "freeze" a script by putting a #! line referring to a version that it is known to work with. Third, you can put a new version out there to try out before making it the default perl. Lastly, it sells more disk drives. :-) Barring catastrophe, this will likely be the last patch before version 4.0 comes out.

* perl 3.0 patch #29 (combined patch)Larry Wall1990-10-151-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This set of patches pretty much brings you up to the functionality that version 4.0 will have. The Perl Book documents version 4.0. Perhaps these should be called release notes... :-) Enhancements: Many of the changes relate to making the debugger work better. It now runs your scripts at nearly full speed because it no longer calls a subroutine on every statement. The debugger now doesn't get confused about packages, evals and other filenames. More variables (though still not all) are available within the debugger. Related to this is the fact that every statement now knows which package and filename it was compiled in, so package semantics are now much more straightforward. Every variable also knows which package it was compiled in. So many places that used to print out just the variable name now prefix the variable name with the package name. Notably, if you print *foo it now gives *package'foo. Along with these, there is now a "caller" function which returns the context of the current subroutine call. See the man page for more details. Chip Salzenberg sent the patches for System V IPC (msg, sem and shm) so I dropped them in. There was no way to wait for a specific pid, which was silly, since Perl was already keeping track of the information. So I added the waitpid() call, which uses Unix's wait4() or waitpid() if available, and otherwise emulates them (at least as far as letting you wait for a particular pid--it doesn't emulate non-blocking wait). For use in sorting routines, there are now two new operators, cmp and <=>. These do string and numeric comparison, returning -1, 0 or 1 when the first argument is less than, equal to or greater than the second argument. Occasionally one finds that one wants to evaluate an operator in a scalar context, even though it's part of a LIST. For this purpose, there is now a scalar() operator. For instance, the approved fix for the novice error of using <> in assigning to a local is now: local($var) = scalar(<STDIN>); Perl's ordinary I/O is done using standard I/O routines. Every now and then this gets in your way. You may now access the system calls read() and write() via the Perl functions sysread() and syswrite(). They should not be intermixed with ordinary I/O calls unless you know what you're doing. Along with this, both the sysread() and read() functions allow you an optional 4th argument giving an offset into the string you're reading into, so for instance you can easily finish up partial reads. As a bit of syntactic sugar, you can now use the file tests -M, -A and -C to determine the age of a file in (possibly fractional) days as of the time the script started running. This makes it much easier to write midnight cleanup scripts with precision. The index() and rindex() functions now have an optional 3rd argument which tells it where to start looking, so you can now iterate through a string using these functions. The substr() function's 3rd argument is now optional, and if omitted, the function returns everything to the end of the string. The tr/// translation function now understands c, d and s options, just like the tr program. (Well, almost just like. The d option only deletes characters that aren't in the replacement string.) The c complementes the character class to match and the s option squishes out multiple occurrences of any replacement class characters. The reverse function, used in a scalar context, now reverses its scalar argument as a string. Dale Worley posted a patch to add @###.## type fields to formats. I said, "Neat!" and dropped it in, lock, stock and sinker. Kai Uwe Rommel sent a bunch of MSDOS and OS/2 updates, which I (mostly) incorporated. I can't vouch for them, but they look okay. Any data stored after the __END__ marker can be accesses now via the DATA filehandle, which is automatically opened onto the script at that point. (Well, actually, it's just kept open, since it was already open to read the script.) The taintperl program now checks for world writable PATH components, and complains if any are found (if PATH is used). Bug fixes: It used to be that you could get core dumps by such means as @$foo=(); @foo[42]; (1,2,3)[42]; $#foo = 50; foreach $elem (@foo) { $elem = 1; } This is no longer so. (For those who are up on Perl internals, the stack policy no longer allows Nullstr--all undefined values must be passed as &str_undef.) If you say something like local($foo,$bar); or local($initialized,$foo,$bar) = ('one value'); $foo and $bar are now initialized to the undefined value, rather than the defined null string. Array assignment to special arrays is now better supported. For instance, @ENV = () clears the environment, and %foo = () will now clear any dbm file bound to %foo. On the subject of dbm files, the highly visible bugs at patchlevel 28 have been fixed. You can now open dbm files readonly, and you don't have to do a dummy assignment to make the cache allocate itself. The modulus operator wasn't working right on negative values because of a misplaced cast. For instance, -5 % 5 was returning the value 5, which is clearly wrong. Certain operations coredumped if you didn't supply a value: close; eof; Previously, if the subroutine supplied for a sort operation didn't exist, it failed quietly. Now it produces a fatal error. The bitwise complement operator ~ didn't work on vec() strings longer than one byte because of failure to increment a loop variable. The oct and hex functions returned a negative result if the highest bit was set. They now return an unsigned result, which seems a little less confusing. Likewise, the token 0x80000000 also produces an unsigned value now. Some machines didn't like to see 0x87654321 in an #ifdef because they think of the symbols as signed. The tests have been changed to just look at the lower 4 nybbles of the value, which is sufficient to determine endianness, at least as far as the #ifdefs are concerned. The unshift operator did not return the documented value, which was the number of elements in the new array. Instead it returned the last unshifted argument, more or less by accident. -w sometimes printed spurious warnings about ARGV and ENV when referencing the arrays indirectly through shift or exec. This was because the typo test was misplaced before the code that exempts special variables from the typo test. If you said 'require "./foo.pl"', it would look in someplace like /usr/local/lib/perl/./foo.pl instead of the current directory. This works more like people expect now. The require error messages also referred to wrong file, if they worked at all. The h2ph program didn't translate includes right--it should have changed .h to .ph. Patterns with multiple short literal strings sometimes failed. This was a problem with the code that looks for a maximal literal string to feed to the Boyer-Moore searching routine. The code was gluing together literal strings that weren't continuous. The $* variable controls multi-line pattern matching. When it's 0, patterns are supposed to match as if the string contained a single line. Unfortunately, /^pat/ occasionally matched in middle of string under certain conditions. Recently the regular expression routines were upgraded to do {n,m} more efficiently. In doing this, however, I manufactured a couple of bugs: /.{n,m}$/ could match with fewer than n characters remaining on the line, and patterns like /\d{9}/ could match more than 9 characters. The undefined value has an actual physical location in Perl, and pointers to it are passed around. By certain circuitous routes it was possible to clobber the undefined value so that it was no longer undefined--kind of like making /dev/null into a real file. Hopefully this can't happen any more. op.stat could fail if /bin/0 existed, because of a while (<*>) {... This has been changed to a while (defined($_ = <*>)) {... The length of a search pattern was limited by the length of tokenbuf internally. This restriction has been removed. The null character gave the tokener indigestion when used as a delimiter for m// or s///. There was a bunch of other cleanupish things that are too trivial to mention here.
* perl 3.0 patch #28 (combined patch)Larry Wall1990-08-131-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
