14 years agoPATCH: [perl #72998] regex looping
Karl Williamson [Wed, 14 Apr 2010 03:25:36 +0000]
PATCH: [perl #72998] regex looping

If a character folds to multiple ones in case-insensitive matching,
it should not match just one of those, or the regular expression can
loop.  For example, \N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF} folds to 'ff', and so
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /f+/i
should match.  Prior to this patch, this function returned that there is
a match, but left the matching string  pointer at the beginning of the
"\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" because it doesn't make sense to match
just half a character, and at this level it doesn't know about the '+'.
This leaves things in an inconsistent state, with the reporting of a
match, but the input pointer unchanged, the result of which is a loop.

I don't know how to fix this so that it correctly matches, and there are
semantic issues with doing so.  For example, if
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /ff/i
matches, then one would think that so should
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /(f)(f)/i
But $1 and $2 don't really make sense here, since they both refer to the
half of the same character.

So this patch just returns failure if only a partial character is
matched.  That leaves things consistent, and solves the problem of
looping, so that Perl doesn't hang on such a construct, but leaves the
ultimate solution for another day.

RT 8857: premature free in local of tied element

[The original bug report concerned local($_) remained tied, but while
looking at it, Nicholas found some related code that popped up premature
free errors. This commit fixes the freeing issue rather than the issue of
the original bug report ]

Background:

    local $a[0]

does, approximately:

    svp = av_fetch(av);
    SAVE(av,*svp);
    sv = newSV();
    *svp = sv;

This used to leak when av was tied, as the new sv only got embedded in
*svp, which for tied arrays is a temporary placeholder rather than
somewhere within AvARRAY. This leak was fixed in 2002 by adding the
following:

    if (SvTIED_mg(sv, PERL_MAGIC_tiedelem))
sv_2mortal(sv);

which worked, except for the following:

    sub f { local $_[0] }
    f($_) for ($tied[0]);

Here, @_ is a real array not a tied one, yet its first element is a
PERL_MAGIC_tiedelem which trigged the test above. So the sv got
mortalised *and* stored in the array, so got freed twice. The fix is
to test the *array/hash* for tied-ness rather than the element.

Vincent Pit [Wed, 31 Mar 2010 12:33:32 +0000]
Don't initialize end in pp_reverse when begin is NULL

This change is a complement to 572558b47236782e60e41bd235c96eae7cbca3db.

Arithmetic on null pointers isn't defined by the C standard, so it may crash even before entering the loop.

14 years agoPL_defoutgv isn't always a GV.
David Mitchell [Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:03:50 +0000]
PL_defoutgv isn't always a GV.

Nasty code like the following results in PL_defoutgv not pointing
to a valid GV:

    my $x = *STDERR; select($x); $x = 1;

This causes all sorts of SEGVs when PL_defoutgv is subsequently accessed,
because most code assumes that it has a valid gv_gp pointer.  It also
turns out that PL_defoutgv is under-tested; for example, temporarily
hacking pp_close to make an arg-less close() croak didn't cause any
minitest failures.

Add a new test file that does some basic testing of a bad PL_defoutgv,
and fix all the obvious badness in accessing it.

This also fixes #20727, which although ostensibly a tie bug, was due to
PL_defoutgv pointing to a tiedelem scalar, and fun like that described
above happening.

The regex documentation included changes that were put temporarily into
