1 Revision history for Perl extension Devel::Size.
3 0.72_51 2111-04-15 nicholas
4 * Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to improve performance under multiplicity
6 0.72_50 2011-04-14 nicholas
7 * Exception handling is totally MSVC specific, so only use it there
8 - this means that we don't need to use a C++ compiler anywhere
9 * Rework bit-vector tracking mechanism to use a 256-way tree. This avoids
10 making assumptions about 64-bit platforms' memory layouts, and eliminates
11 the fatal error introduced in 0.72 when the assumption was violated.
13 * Resolve CPAN #49437 (Devel::Size adds magic in Perl 5.10)
14 * Resolve CPAN #58484 and #58485 (related to CVs that are XSUBs)
16 0.72 2008-10-14 BrowserUk 70 tests
17 * Added bit-vector pointer tracking mechanism.
18 - new fatal error (64-bit platforms only)
19 * Added exception handling
20 - 4 new warnings (disabled by default)
21 * Updated POD to reflect above
22 * Added basic.t test 13
23 * replaced Module::Install with hand crafted EU::MM Makefile.pl
24 (With many thanks to Sisyphus)
25 because we couldn't work out how to add C++ options to allow
28 0.71 2008-08-24 Tels 69 tests
29 * adapt patch from Reini Urban to fix failing RV under 5.10 and 5.11. AV
30 and HV were pushed directly onto the pending_array, and not the RV,
31 which caused #33530. So he rewrote the logic to deref the RV inside
32 the array traversal. Applied this with one small omission, which
34 * Fixed 5.11 RV/IV logic. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
35 * Removed one duplicate total_size arrayref test. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
36 * changed //printf to dbg_printf() (Thanx Reini again!)
38 0.70 2008-08-23 Tels 69 tests
39 * fix SEGFAULTS under v5.10 (Thanx Reini Urban!)
40 * fix compilation under blead (Thanx Reini Urban!)
41 * require Perl 5.006 (to stop CPANTESTERS sending bogus reports
42 about failed compiling on ancient Perls)
43 * update the bundles Module::Install to v0.77
45 0.69 2007-08-11 Tels 69 tests
46 * fix compilation under Perl v5.9.5 and v5.10 (Thanx Steve Peters!)
47 * clarify the license by specifying Perl v5.8.8's license
48 * small doc fixes, add a README file
50 0.68 2007-06-12 Tels 69 tests
51 * remove a bit of duplicate code in op_size, the second instance
53 * fix the failing tests by rewriting the test logic to be sane
54 * the count of array slots was off by one
56 0.67 2007-03-15 Tels 20 tests
57 * rip out Build.PL since it doesn't actually work
58 * fix bug #1653: All SVPV subtype may contain an RV instead of a PV
59 (Thanx a lot Jan, and sorry for the truly horrible long delay!)
60 * fix bug #24846: Does not correctly recurse into references in PVNV
62 * add t/recurse.t that tests the two bugfixes in combination
64 0.66 2007-03-02 Tels 15 tests
65 * fix the failing test (the code was right, but the test wrong)
67 0.65 2007-02-24 Tels 15 tests
68 * fix the test failings under 64 bit (bugs #21037, #18596, #21404)
69 * fix wrong size for strings (bug #17586)
70 * reverse Changelog (bug #16636)
71 * Size.xs: remove unused variable "count"
72 * Size.xs: fix warnings about missing ()
73 * Size.xs: fix size of array refs when AvALLOC == 0
75 + maintained by me, signed with my key
76 + bundle Module::Install and use it
78 + rewrite tests to use Test::More; add more tests
