| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

This is a consolidation patch. It contains many of the most commonly applied or agreed-to patches that have been circulating since patch.1m. It also changes the 'unofficial patchlevel' in perl.c. There are some problems (see items marked with '***'). I will attempt to address those in a patch.1o in a few days. This patch contains the following packages: My Jumbo Configure patch vs. 1m, with subsequent patches 1, 2, and 3. Mainly, this provides easier use of local libraries, documents the installation process in a new INSTALL file, moves important questions towards the beginning, and improves detection of signal names (mostly for Linux). xsubpp-1.922. Patches from Larry: eval "1" memory leak patch (as modified by GSAR to apply to 5.001m).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

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 Dougherty1995-03-312-46/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.0l: MakeMaker 4.085 and upgrade Configure to dist3 PL 51.Andy Dougherty1995-02-212-52/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here's what's new: Configure Generated by metaconfig PL 51. Correctly set ./mips on a MIPS system. Improved (we hope) handling of $archname. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Made .SH files out of h2xs and makeaperl so that they get the correct path-to-perl at the top. Makefile.SH Propagate $(perllib) to extensions. U/dist3_051.patches Two patches to apply on top of metaconfig PL 51. I've sent them off for inclusion in the next metaconfig update. config_h.SH config.H Regenerated. Only the order of elements has changed. ext/DB_File/Makefile.PL ext/GDBM_File/Makefile.PL ext/NDBM_File/Makefile.PL Add -L/usr/local/lib to LIBS variable. ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs Place #ifdef around FD_CLOEXEC (needed for Apollo). ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/Makefile.PL Simplified, thanks to MakeMaker enhancements. ext/util/make_ext Pass through $(perllib) argument for cflags. h2xs.SH Changed from h2xs to h2xs.SH. Now finds correct path to perl. hints/next_3_2.sh Updated for hppa. hints/solaris_2.sh Remove potentially problematic -lmalloc from $libswanted. hints/unicos.sh Look in /usr/include/rpcsvc for dbm.h. installperl Install h2xs. lib/Cwd.pm Use 'my' variable to avoid clobbering $_. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Upgraded from 4.06 to 4.085. Lots of documentation improvements. EXE_FILES to refer to an array of executable files to install. Reduce chatter during build process. Don't count a useful -L/path option as a successful search for a particular library. Cleanup handling of aix external symbols. Create/update perllocal.pod to indicate what we've done. makeaperl.SH Changed from makeaperl to makeaperl.SH. Now finds correct path to perl. x2p/util.c Delete unused setenv() and envix() functions. x2p/util.h Delete unused setenv() and envix() prototypes. vms/config.vms Define I_SYS_STAT and I_SYS_TYPES.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | problems reported even after patches 0a through 0j MakeMaker 4.06 allows you to build extensions away from the source tree with either static or dynamic loading. In a rare act of prescience, I've also fixed some un-reported bugs. Specifically, there were several places where Configure said you could specify things using ~name notation, but, in fact, you couldn't. In detail, here's what's included: Configure Check I_SYS_TYPES for x2p/a2p.h Improve and generalize $osvers detection for DEC Alpha (now will work even for osvers > 3.) No longer override hint-file setting of $archname. Don't tell users ~name is ok for Dynamic loading file. It's not. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Updated. Makefile.SH Some trailing ' ' removed from lines. New target lib/ExtUtils/Miniperl.pm built. This stashes away miniperlmain.c in the library so new static extensions can be built away from the source tree. Minor cleanup. U/Oldconfig.pat.2 This is a patch to be applied against dist-PL 50 to upgrade the DEC OSF/1 version detection. U/archlib.U Preserve previous value for $archname. Otherwise this is identical to the unit in dist-PL 50. U/dlsrc.U Users may not use ~name notation to find the dynamic loading module. (Back in early alpha days they could, but that hasn't worked since the DynaLoader module was introduced. config.H Updated. config_h.SH Updated. hints/dec_osf.sh Updated. Simplified.

This changed a variety of things, mostly related to selecting and changing the installation prefix. Handle csh, sed, and byacc no matter what the setting of d_portable. (This was causing glob problems in patch.0i). Set d_portable to default to 'y'. It doesn't matter anyway, but gives people a warm fuzzy feeling. Remove useless d_group and d_passwd tests. Add check for <sys/stat.h>. Improve & generalize AIX version detection. Consider /opt/man/man1 as a possible place to install man pages. Be a little more robust about OS version changes when deciding if the output of uname -a has really changed. MANIFEST MANIFEST.new Added hints/mpeix.sh. README Tell users the Configure defaults are probably right. Makefile.SH Better detection of whether user has byacc. Use $(MAKE) instead of make. U/Loc_sed.U Works again with d_portable='define'. U/Myinit.U Set d_portable=define as default. U/d_byacc.U Detect whether user has byacc even if d_portable=define. U/d_csh.U Works again with d_portable='define'. U/d_group.U Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test. U/d_passwd.U Empty file to avoid useless metaconfig test. U/dist.patch This file contains two minor updates to dist3 PL50 that were used to generage Configure. U/i_sysstat.U New test. See if sys/stat.h is available. config.H Updated. config_h.SH Updated to metaconfig patchlevel 50. ext/NDBM_File/Makefile.PL ext/ODBM_File/Makefile.PL Add -lucb for SVR4 systems. handy.h Protect agains g++-2.6.3, which predefines bool. g++ can be used to compile an extension, but not perl itself. Still, the extension will #include "perl.h", which eventually gets "handy.h", which #define's bool. If this happens to you, add -DHAS_BOOL to your ccflags in your extension, or else ensure that _G_config.h is #include'd before perl.h. (_G_config.h will define _G_HAVE_BOOL, if indeed your version of g++ has bool.) hints/aix.sh Updated. Handles AIX 3.2.x and 4.1. Comments included! hints/hpux_9.sh Updated. hints/irix_4.sh Updated. Includes comments for IRIX 4.0.4 hints/linux.sh Updated. Beginnings of ELF support added, but completely untested. hints/mpeix.sh New hint file. hints/solaris_2.sh Useless ccflags="$ccflags" line removed. hints/svr4.sh Updated. installperl Doesn't use Config anymore (it already reads config.sh directly. That's probably backwards, but, oh well. Install perl.exp for AIX. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Upgraded from 4.01 to 4.03. makedepend.SH Use $MAKE instead of plain make. Index: op.c Remove overlapping strcpy(). perl.h Add test for <sys/stat.h>. Delete unused VOIDSIG stuff. Delete unused typedef struct lstring Lstring; perl_exp.SH Add safexxxx calls. pp_sys.c Delete wayward break in HAS_ALARM section. proto.h Change true and false (!) in function prototypes to please g++-2.6.3, which has true and false built in. (See notes for handy.h.) Index: unixish.h Long-overdue housekeeping. HAS_GROUP and HAS_PASSWD are always defined. util.c Yet another (char*) cast for bcmp. vms/config.vms Changed comments to match unixish.h. writemain.SH Now correctly handles nested static extensions. Recent MakeMakers have moved where they get built. x2p/a2p.h More definitions that will doubtless cause trouble somewhere else. x2p/a2py.c x2p/walk.c Remove unprotected char *strchr();

Fix various bonehead errors I introduced in patches a-g. 2. Incorporate MakeMaker changes to bring it up to version 4.01 (mostly). 3. Stick in things I forgot in patches a-g (e.g. AIX). 4. Some minor additional cleanup in x2p/ for even pickier compilers. 5. More hints updates (hpux and next). 6. Include newest dl_hpux.xs. I didn't have time to 1. Fix the overlapping strcpy() in op.c 2. Restore h2xs to Larry's original design to process <>. 3. take out unnecessary "use Config" in installperl. 4. Add in vms patches. I forgot to [If I remembered what i forgot, I wouldn't have forgotten it. :] I deliberately decided *not* to 1. Touch pod/* 2. deal with overloading Specifically, here's what's included: Configure Regenerated to be sure it's up-to-date. Makefile.SH Build extension libraries right into lib/auto/whatever. Don't set CCCDLFLAGS since we don't use it anyway. Take care to avoid modifying lib/Config.pm without reason Visit DynaLoader for `make clean'. (Previously only did so for `make realclean'.) @echo "Note that make realclean does not delete config.sh" Include config.h dependency. U/i_db.U config_h.SH config.H Remove unwanted quotes around db_hashtype and db_prefixtype. configpm Allow specification of alternate name for lib/Config.pm, so the makefile mv-if-diff trick saves needless re-making. ext/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.pm Updated warning messages and comments. ext/DynaLoader/dl_hpux.xs Updated to version 2.1. Now uses bootstrap files. ext/util/make_ext Explicitly use #!/bin/sh to start it up. This is useful for testing make_ext. Improve & simplify Nested::Extension::Processing. More robust handling of `make clean'. hints/hpux_9.sh Support both the bundled and unbundled compilers. hints/next_3_2.sh Back to using -posix rather than POSIX_SOURCE. And that only for ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs. installperl Special ranlib treatment for NeXT, which gets confused about timestamps in libraries, even when you just copy the library. Supply missing '$' in samepath() function. lib/AutoSplit.pm New parameters. lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm Upgraded from 3.8 to 4.01. lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp Documentation changed from man to pod. lib/Getopt/Long.pm Avoid typo warning. Drop unused $optx. lib/Text/Tabs.pm Fix package name. makedepend.SH Explicitly start with $startsh. Catch cpp that prints # <stdin> instead of line numbers. perl.h Fix bonehead mistake that ended up calling my_fmod even if not needed. perl_exp.SH also add symbols from interp.sym proto.h Delete 2 redundant prototypes (newBINOP and newUNOP). util.c Add (char *) casts to unsigned char args to bcmp. x2p/a2p.h Rearrange order of <string?.h> and bcopy & bzero stuff. Change a few function prototypes to void, to reflect actual usage. x2p/a2py.c Change a few function types to void, to reflect actual usage. x2p/handy.h Make *alloc declarations match those in x2p/util.c. x2p/util.c Make *alloc declarations match those in x2p/handy.h. x2p/walk.c Add a (Size_t) cast for comparison of 1 to the result of strlen(). Thanks to all who's work is included here. Little of it is mine.
* perl5.000 patch.0e: fix various non-broken things in the x2p/ directoryAndy Dougherty1995-01-1812-69/+2984
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

Many of the tests that used to simply force a decision now check that decision against the previous value of the variable, and offer to let you change it. The default now is to keep the old value, so that you don't lose information from your previous run. Because of this, it's now more important to know whether, in fact, config.sh was produced on this machine and on this version of the operating system. config.sh now contains a lastuname variable which contains the output of uname -a. If this matches the current output of uname -a, Configure defaults to including the old config.sh. Otherwise not. If there is no valid config.sh, then Configure looks defaults for the current architecture in the hints/ subdirectory instead. The guesswork I've done in this section of code is phenomenal, so you'll have to instruct me where I've misparsed the output of uname (a problem in portability all of its own). Subject: Configure now differentiates getgroups() type from getgid() type Subject: Configure now figures out malloc ptr type Subject: Configure now does better on sprintf() Configure was assuming that the array of values returned from getgroups was the same type as the gids returned by other system calls. Unfortunately, reality set in. Likewise for malloc() and sprintf(), which there is only one portable way to find out the return value of: try it one way or the other, and see if it blows up. Subject: C flags are now settable on a per-file basis Subject: reduced maximum branch distance in eval.c Certain compilers and/or optimizers get bozoed out by large compilation units, or by large structures within those units. Previously, you either had to change the compiler flags for all the files, or do hairy editing in Makefile.SH and remake the Makefile, necessitating a make depend. Now there is a script called cflags.SH whose duty it is to return the proper CFLAGS for any given C file. You can change the flags in just one spot now and they will be immediately reflected in the next make (or even in the current make, if one is running). Eventually I expect that any of the hints files could modify cflags.SH, but I haven't done that yet. The particular problem of long jump offsets in eval.c has been at least partially alleviated by locating some of the labels in the middle of the function instead of at the end. This still doesn't help the poor Vax when you compile with -g, since it puts a jump to the end of the function to allocate the stack frame and then jumps back to the beginning of the function to execute it. For now Vaxen will have to stick with -O or hand assemble eval.c and teval.c with a -J switch. Subject: fixed "Bad free" error Subject: fixed debugger coredump on subroutines Subject: regexec only allocated space for 9 subexpresssions These are problems that were reported on the net and had unofficial patches. Now they have official patches. Be sure to patch a copy of your files without the unofficial patches, or the patch program will get confused. Subject: you may now use "die" and "caller" in a signal handler Someone pointed out that using die to raise an exception out of a signal handler trashed the expression value stack if the exception was caught by eval. While fixing that, I also fixed the longstanding problem that signal handlers didn't have a normal call frame, which prevented the caller function from working. Subject: fixed undefined environ problem Subject: hopefully straightened out some of the Xenix mess Subject: random cleanup in cpp namespace Just keeping up with the current progress in non-standardization. Subject: fixed failed fork to return undef as documented The open function returns undef on failed implicit forks. The Book assumed that the same was true of an explicit fork. I've made the function behave like the Book says. It's a pity there's no way to have an undefined value that returns -1 in a numeric context but false in a boolean context... Subject: generalized the yaccpar fixer some Thanks to Andy Dougherty, perly.fixer now knows how to fix SVR3 2.2's yaccpar code to do dynamic parse stack allocation. He also made it easy for other people to insert their code there. Hooray! Subject: find2perl sometimes needs to stat on the 2nd leg of a -o Subject: find2perl didn't correctly handle switches with an argument of 0 In attempting to delay the lstat to the last moment, in case a filename could be rejected on the basis of its name, find2perl neglected to take into account the fact that control might pass to the 2nd half of a -o without executing all of the 1st half, in particular without executing the lstat. find2perl was wisely removing leading zeroes from numbers that would mistakenly be interpreted as octal numbers by Perl. Unfortunately, this caused it to delete the number 0 entirely. Subject: fixed dumpvar not to dump internal debugging info Subject: substr($ENV{"PATH"},0,0) = "/foo:" didn't modify environment Subject: $foo .= <BAR> could cause core dump for certain lengths of $foo Subject: perl -de "print" wouldn't stop at the first statement Random glitchy little things. Subject: I'm at NetLabs now I'm now working for NetLabs, Inc., and I hadn't changed my address everywhere.
