OTHER CORE CHANGES
Subject: Bug in debugger with import manipulations
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 1996 05:37:48 -0500 (EST)
From: Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>
Files: pp_hot.c
Finally I traced why MakeMaker runs wrongly under debugger: debugger
function calling sequence was assuming that
GvCV(CvGV(cv)) == cv
for non-anonymous subs (ne END). MakeMaker managed to break it by
*A::B = \&C::D;
eval 'sub C::D {new one}';
After this CvGV(\&A::B) is *C::D, but &{*C::D} is the "new one".
Patch follows (note that in this case we do not sacrifice having a
subroutine name in debugger output ;-).
Enjoy,

Subject: Import and dynamic methods
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 1996 01:45:37 -0500 (EST)
From: Ilya Zakharevich <ilya@math.ohio-state.edu>
Files: gv.c hv.c sv.c
Here is the patch which corrects bad things which happens when you
import subroutines and otherwise manipulate the symbol tree.
I put forward the only chunk which may be controversal, since it may
have a minor performance penalty. It is independent of the others, so
it can be freely deleted.
The manipulations which correctly propagate to method calls:
a) Pruning globs: delete $B::{method}
b) Undefing subroutines: undef &B::method;
c) Importing: *B::method = \&mymethod;

I sent this patch before as a part of
pos $str =
$str = /failing/g
patch. Now I separate it in the case it was tainted by environment:
Synopsis:
$a = <FH>;
does not work as expected if $a is magic (say, tied).

This patch was (mostly) posted already.
It fixes the bug:
pos $str
is reset to undef if
$str =~ /failing/g
fails.
Additionally, if fixes the hidded bit (=MGf_MINMATCH) surviving
setting
pos $str = ...
