1 Revision history for Perl extension Devel::Size.
3 0.79_52 2015-02-28 nicholas
5 * handle the new METHOP. [CPAN #101071]
7 0.79_51 2015-02-28 nicholas
8 * as of 5.20.0, s/// is no longer a reliable test for OOK [CPAN #95493]
10 0.79_50 2015-02-28 nicholas
12 * wrong test for magicalness [CPAN #88180]
13 * reading tied scalar shrinks it [CPAN #88182]
15 0.79 2013-05-12 nicholas
18 0.78_52 2013-05-10 nicholas
19 * Fix the bug in the previous fix. Oops :-)
21 0.78_51 2013-05-10 nicholas
22 * v5.17.1 and later handle CopSTASH differently under ithreads
24 0.78_50 2013-05-10 nicholas
25 * Alternative test for CvOUTSIDE, and one for CvPADLIST
26 * v5.17 changes the type of PADLIST [CPAN #83904]
27 * stubbed subs no longer have CvOUTSIDE set [CPAN #77913]
28 * Fix for v5.17.2's OP slab allocator [CPAN #83903]
29 * Spelling fix to docs from gregor herrmann [CPAN #78766]
31 0.78 2012-07-26 nicholas
34 0.77_51 2012-07-17 nicholas
35 * Fix for MSVC builds from bulk 88 [CPAN #77589]
37 0.77_50 2012-02-10 nicholas
38 * t/globs.t was failing on 5.15.6 and later due to side effects of a change
39 to strict.pm [CPAN #73998]
40 * skip tests in t/magic.t that use formline on 5.8.1 and 5.8.2, as those
41 versions have a buggy formline that can trigger an assertion failure.
43 0.77 2011-05-16 nicholas
46 0.76_50 2011-05-12 nicholas
47 * Split out HEK size calculation into hek_size(). Add the shared HE overhead.
48 * Handle shared hash key scalars correctly.
49 * GvNAME() is shared from 5.10 onwards.
50 * Count HvNAME(), the HV "aux" struct, the mro_meta struct, and ENAMEs.
52 0.76 2011-05-11 nicholas
53 * Just fix the version number in the line below.
55 0.75_52 2011-05-09 nicholas
56 * Use a table for SV body sizes. These incorporate the space saving post 5.8.x
57 * Correctly handle SvOOK scalars. 5.12 and later don't use SvIVX().
58 * Magic vtables aren't freed when magic is freed, so don't count them.
59 (They are static structures. Anything that assumes otherwise is buggy.)
60 * Reinstate 5.6.x "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
61 * Reinstate 5.005_xx "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
63 0.75_51 2011-05-05 nicholas
64 * Only use a static array of vtables on gcc.
66 0.75_50 2011-05-04 nicholas
67 * The core's magic vtables are global constants, so aren't part of the size.
68 * Follow mg_obj and mg_ptr.
70 0.75 2011-05-04 nicholas
73 0.74_53 2011-05-01 nicholas
74 * Fix typo error in bit-vector tracking mechanism. On 64 bit platforms which
75 allocate on 8 byte alignment (rather than 16), a low pointer bit could get
76 lost, resulting in new pointers being considered already "seen".
77 "Found" by BinGOs' smoker, fixed on spectre.mongueurs.net. Thanks.
79 0.74_52 2011-04-23 nicholas
80 * Fix potential SEGVs for OP_AELEMFAST on a lexical (eg $foo[3])
81 * Fix likely SEGVs for PVOPs (missing break)
82 * Fix potential SEGVs for PVBMs on 5.10 and later
83 * Move hash and array traversal from total_size() to sv_size()
84 - this allows total_size() and size() to be XS ALIASes.
86 0.74_51 2011-04-22 nicholas
87 * Don't count PL_sv_{undef,no,yes} in the size returned
88 * total_size() was double-counting entries in typeglobs
89 * sv_size() was double-counting the PVGV size if GvEGV() looped back
90 * fix classic off-by-one error - the answer is strlen() + 1, not just strlen()
92 0.74_50 2011-04-19 nicholas
93 * Ensure that size() doesn't add the referent's size for non SVt_RV references
95 0.74 2011-04-19 nicholas
96 * Correct the Makefile.PL - LICENSE was added to ExtUtils::MakeMaker in 6.31
98 0.73_51 2011-04-17 nicholas
99 * Refactor the C code to accumulate the size inside the tracking structure
100 - this means that the C *_size() functions now return void
101 - The XS functions size() and total_size() now return UV, not IV
103 0.73_50 2011-04-17 nicholas
104 * Avoid using assert() on ithreaded 5.8.8 and earlier, as it needs my_perl
105 * Fix the test added in 0.73, as it tripped over a combination of bugs
107 0.73 2011-04-16 nicholas
108 * Revert a bad assertion introduced in 0.72_50, which was logically wrong.
109 - and a test to demonstrate one case that would trigger it
111 0.72_52 2011-04-15 nicholas
112 * Add a test for the non-exceptional warnings.
114 0.72_51 2011-04-15 nicholas
115 * Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to improve performance under multiplicity
117 0.72_50 2011-04-14 nicholas
118 * Exception handling is totally MSVC specific, so only use it there
119 - this means that we don't need to use a C++ compiler anywhere
120 * Rework bit-vector tracking mechanism to use a 256-way tree. This avoids
121 making assumptions about 64-bit platforms' memory layouts, and eliminates
122 the fatal error introduced in 0.72 when the assumption was violated.
123 * Convert to XSLoader
124 * Resolve CPAN #49437 (Devel::Size adds magic in Perl 5.10)
125 * Resolve CPAN #58484 and #58485 (related to CVs that are XSUBs)
127 0.72 2008-10-14 BrowserUk 70 tests
128 * Added bit-vector pointer tracking mechanism.
129 - new fatal error (64-bit platforms only)
130 * Added exception handling
131 - 4 new warnings (disabled by default)
132 * Updated POD to reflect above
133 * Added basic.t test 13
134 * replaced Module::Install with hand crafted EU::MM Makefile.pl
135 (With many thanks to Sisyphus)
136 because we couldn't work out how to add C++ options to allow
139 0.71 2008-08-24 Tels 69 tests
140 * adapt patch from Reini Urban to fix failing RV under 5.10 and 5.11. AV
141 and HV were pushed directly onto the pending_array, and not the RV,
142 which caused #33530. So he rewrote the logic to deref the RV inside
143 the array traversal. Applied this with one small omission, which
145 * Fixed 5.11 RV/IV logic. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
146 * Removed one duplicate total_size arrayref test. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
147 * changed //printf to dbg_printf() (Thanx Reini again!)
149 0.70 2008-08-23 Tels 69 tests
150 * fix SEGFAULTS under v5.10 (Thanx Reini Urban!)
151 * fix compilation under blead (Thanx Reini Urban!)
152 * require Perl 5.006 (to stop CPANTESTERS sending bogus reports
153 about failed compiling on ancient Perls)
154 * update the bundles Module::Install to v0.77
156 0.69 2007-08-11 Tels 69 tests
157 * fix compilation under Perl v5.9.5 and v5.10 (Thanx Steve Peters!)
158 * clarify the license by specifying Perl v5.8.8's license
159 * small doc fixes, add a README file
161 0.68 2007-06-12 Tels 69 tests
162 * remove a bit of duplicate code in op_size, the second instance
164 * fix the failing tests by rewriting the test logic to be sane
165 * the count of array slots was off by one
167 0.67 2007-03-15 Tels 20 tests
168 * rip out Build.PL since it doesn't actually work
169 * fix bug #1653: All SVPV subtype may contain an RV instead of a PV
170 (Thanx a lot Jan, and sorry for the truly horrible long delay!)
171 * fix bug #24846: Does not correctly recurse into references in PVNV
173 * add t/recurse.t that tests the two bugfixes in combination
175 0.66 2007-03-02 Tels 15 tests
176 * fix the failing test (the code was right, but the test wrong)
178 0.65 2007-02-24 Tels 15 tests
179 * fix the test failings under 64 bit (bugs #21037, #18596, #21404)
180 * fix wrong size for strings (bug #17586)
181 * reverse Changelog (bug #16636)
182 * Size.xs: remove unused variable "count"
183 * Size.xs: fix warnings about missing ()
184 * Size.xs: fix size of array refs when AvALLOC == 0
186 + maintained by me, signed with my key
187 + bundle Module::Install and use it
189 + rewrite tests to use Test::More; add more tests

196 0.63 Thu Jun 30 14:29:43 2005
197 - Turns out that OP_TRANS is a basic op, not a loop op. This

218 of Marcus Holland-Moritz <mhx-perl@gmx.net>)

228 - Updated the docs to show some of the places that there might be 'dark'
229 memory that Devel::Size can't see.
230 - Added in tests from Ken Williams
