1 Revision history for Perl extension Devel::Size.
3 0.79_51 2015-02-28 nicholas
4 * as of 5.20.0, s/// is no longer a reliable test for OOK [CPAN #95493]
6 0.79_50 2015-02-28 nicholas
8 * wrong test for magicalness [CPAN #88180]
9 * reading tied scalar shrinks it [CPAN #88182]
11 0.79 2013-05-12 nicholas
14 0.78_52 2013-05-10 nicholas
15 * Fix the bug in the previous fix. Oops :-)
17 0.78_51 2013-05-10 nicholas
18 * v5.17.1 and later handle CopSTASH differently under ithreads
20 0.78_50 2013-05-10 nicholas
21 * Alternative test for CvOUTSIDE, and one for CvPADLIST
22 * v5.17 changes the type of PADLIST [CPAN #83904]
23 * stubbed subs no longer have CvOUTSIDE set [CPAN #77913]
24 * Fix for v5.17.2's OP slab allocator [CPAN #83903]
25 * Spelling fix to docs from gregor herrmann [CPAN #78766]
27 0.78 2012-07-26 nicholas
30 0.77_51 2012-07-17 nicholas
31 * Fix for MSVC builds from bulk 88 [CPAN #77589]
33 0.77_50 2012-02-10 nicholas
34 * t/globs.t was failing on 5.15.6 and later due to side effects of a change
35 to strict.pm [CPAN #73998]
36 * skip tests in t/magic.t that use formline on 5.8.1 and 5.8.2, as those
37 versions have a buggy formline that can trigger an assertion failure.
39 0.77 2011-05-16 nicholas
42 0.76_50 2011-05-12 nicholas
43 * Split out HEK size calculation into hek_size(). Add the shared HE overhead.
44 * Handle shared hash key scalars correctly.
45 * GvNAME() is shared from 5.10 onwards.
46 * Count HvNAME(), the HV "aux" struct, the mro_meta struct, and ENAMEs.
48 0.76 2011-05-11 nicholas
49 * Just fix the version number in the line below.
51 0.75_52 2011-05-09 nicholas
52 * Use a table for SV body sizes. These incorporate the space saving post 5.8.x
53 * Correctly handle SvOOK scalars. 5.12 and later don't use SvIVX().
54 * Magic vtables aren't freed when magic is freed, so don't count them.
55 (They are static structures. Anything that assumes otherwise is buggy.)
56 * Reinstate 5.6.x "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
57 * Reinstate 5.005_xx "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
59 0.75_51 2011-05-05 nicholas
60 * Only use a static array of vtables on gcc.
62 0.75_50 2011-05-04 nicholas
63 * The core's magic vtables are global constants, so aren't part of the size.
64 * Follow mg_obj and mg_ptr.
66 0.75 2011-05-04 nicholas
69 0.74_53 2011-05-01 nicholas
70 * Fix typo error in bit-vector tracking mechanism. On 64 bit platforms which
71 allocate on 8 byte alignment (rather than 16), a low pointer bit could get
72 lost, resulting in new pointers being considered already "seen".
73 "Found" by BinGOs' smoker, fixed on spectre.mongueurs.net. Thanks.
75 0.74_52 2011-04-23 nicholas
76 * Fix potential SEGVs for OP_AELEMFAST on a lexical (eg $foo[3])
77 * Fix likely SEGVs for PVOPs (missing break)
78 * Fix potential SEGVs for PVBMs on 5.10 and later
79 * Move hash and array traversal from total_size() to sv_size()
80 - this allows total_size() and size() to be XS ALIASes.
82 0.74_51 2011-04-22 nicholas
83 * Don't count PL_sv_{undef,no,yes} in the size returned
84 * total_size() was double-counting entries in typeglobs
85 * sv_size() was double-counting the PVGV size if GvEGV() looped back
86 * fix classic off-by-one error - the answer is strlen() + 1, not just strlen()
88 0.74_50 2011-04-19 nicholas
89 * Ensure that size() doesn't add the referent's size for non SVt_RV references
91 0.74 2011-04-19 nicholas
92 * Correct the Makefile.PL - LICENSE was added to ExtUtils::MakeMaker in 6.31
94 0.73_51 2011-04-17 nicholas
95 * Refactor the C code to accumulate the size inside the tracking structure
96 - this means that the C *_size() functions now return void
97 - The XS functions size() and total_size() now return UV, not IV
99 0.73_50 2011-04-17 nicholas
100 * Avoid using assert() on ithreaded 5.8.8 and earlier, as it needs my_perl
101 * Fix the test added in 0.73, as it tripped over a combination of bugs
103 0.73 2011-04-16 nicholas
104 * Revert a bad assertion introduced in 0.72_50, which was logically wrong.
105 - and a test to demonstrate one case that would trigger it
107 0.72_52 2011-04-15 nicholas
108 * Add a test for the non-exceptional warnings.
110 0.72_51 2011-04-15 nicholas
111 * Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to improve performance under multiplicity
113 0.72_50 2011-04-14 nicholas
114 * Exception handling is totally MSVC specific, so only use it there
115 - this means that we don't need to use a C++ compiler anywhere
116 * Rework bit-vector tracking mechanism to use a 256-way tree. This avoids
117 making assumptions about 64-bit platforms' memory layouts, and eliminates
118 the fatal error introduced in 0.72 when the assumption was violated.
119 * Convert to XSLoader
120 * Resolve CPAN #49437 (Devel::Size adds magic in Perl 5.10)
121 * Resolve CPAN #58484 and #58485 (related to CVs that are XSUBs)
123 0.72 2008-10-14 BrowserUk 70 tests
124 * Added bit-vector pointer tracking mechanism.
125 - new fatal error (64-bit platforms only)
126 * Added exception handling
127 - 4 new warnings (disabled by default)
128 * Updated POD to reflect above
129 * Added basic.t test 13
130 * replaced Module::Install with hand crafted EU::MM Makefile.pl
131 (With many thanks to Sisyphus)
132 because we couldn't work out how to add C++ options to allow
135 0.71 2008-08-24 Tels 69 tests
136 * adapt patch from Reini Urban to fix failing RV under 5.10 and 5.11. AV
137 and HV were pushed directly onto the pending_array, and not the RV,
138 which caused #33530. So he rewrote the logic to deref the RV inside
139 the array traversal. Applied this with one small omission, which
141 * Fixed 5.11 RV/IV logic. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
142 * Removed one duplicate total_size arrayref test. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
143 * changed //printf to dbg_printf() (Thanx Reini again!)
145 0.70 2008-08-23 Tels 69 tests
146 * fix SEGFAULTS under v5.10 (Thanx Reini Urban!)
147 * fix compilation under blead (Thanx Reini Urban!)
148 * require Perl 5.006 (to stop CPANTESTERS sending bogus reports
149 about failed compiling on ancient Perls)
150 * update the bundles Module::Install to v0.77
152 0.69 2007-08-11 Tels 69 tests
153 * fix compilation under Perl v5.9.5 and v5.10 (Thanx Steve Peters!)
154 * clarify the license by specifying Perl v5.8.8's license
155 * small doc fixes, add a README file
157 0.68 2007-06-12 Tels 69 tests
158 * remove a bit of duplicate code in op_size, the second instance
160 * fix the failing tests by rewriting the test logic to be sane
161 * the count of array slots was off by one
163 0.67 2007-03-15 Tels 20 tests
164 * rip out Build.PL since it doesn't actually work
165 * fix bug #1653: All SVPV subtype may contain an RV instead of a PV
166 (Thanx a lot Jan, and sorry for the truly horrible long delay!)
167 * fix bug #24846: Does not correctly recurse into references in PVNV
169 * add t/recurse.t that tests the two bugfixes in combination
171 0.66 2007-03-02 Tels 15 tests
172 * fix the failing test (the code was right, but the test wrong)
174 0.65 2007-02-24 Tels 15 tests
175 * fix the test failings under 64 bit (bugs #21037, #18596, #21404)
176 * fix wrong size for strings (bug #17586)
177 * reverse Changelog (bug #16636)
178 * Size.xs: remove unused variable "count"
179 * Size.xs: fix warnings about missing ()
180 * Size.xs: fix size of array refs when AvALLOC == 0
182 + maintained by me, signed with my key
183 + bundle Module::Install and use it
185 + rewrite tests to use Test::More; add more tests

226 - Added in tests from Ken Williams
