Fix for #71506: work around possible gcc bug
When memcpy() is used on a long double pointer with gcc 4.4 in some
cases it seems to treat it as a long double assignment, copying only
the first 12 bytes. Use unions so the types we're copying into the
pack output or from the unpack input are unsigned char[], to avoid the
apparent bug.

Fix a NULL pointer dereference when looking for a DESTROY method
The empty DESTROY method optimization introduced by commit
fbb3ee5af3d would crash the interpreter if a DESTROY method
was declared but not actually defined.
This is seen in the real world with AutoLoader / AutoSplit,
where the crash defeats autoloading a DESTROY method.

Fix for #71254: SEGV in Data::Dumper
This was caused by change 27323/
f7877b281b4, which changes the way
globs are stored in SVs. This patch teaches Perl_magic_setmglob (which
resets the match position after an assignment) about globs. What was
happening was that the globness was turned off (with the type still as
PVGV), which essentially turned the variable into a strange empty
string. Data::Dumper, seeing a PVGV, assumes the string form is at
least 1 char (which should always be the case), and ends up reading
past the end of the string if it is blank.

I have also a fix for the GDBM problem.
Now GDBM is only disabled if the "problem" headers are installed,
e.g. if the gdbm rpm < 1.8.3-5 is installed.

0097b436152452e403cc71b4f1a1cfd30ec0ba1a had introduced a test failure
on VMS because it only set the POK flag in the non-VMS code path,

[perl #72098] File::Copy stripping 06000 perms on cp for root
The problem is with the use of cp when perms & 06000.
There is logic that checks to see if the target file is owned by the
user ($>) running the copy and/or if $> is a member of the group that
owns the target file. If this is not the case, then the 06000 bits are
masked out before the chmod is called after the copy.
This is mostly good logic except when root is executing this, in which
case root should get to do whatever it wants to do.
Looking closer at the code to test for group membership, I think it can
be more easily and more cheaply be written using $). I've added this
change to the patch.
This will also fix the problem where someone has a group membership
based on /etc/passwd and is not mentioned in /etc/group.

Omnibus strict and lax version parsing
Authors: John Peacock, David Golden and Zefram
The goal of this mega-patch is to enforce strict rules for version
numbers provided to 'package NAME VERSION' while formalizing the prior,
lax rules used for version object creation. Parsing for use() is
unchanged.
version.pm adds two globals, $STRICT and $LAX, containing regular
expressions that define the rules. There are two additional functions
-- version::is_strict and version::is_lax -- that test an argument
against these rules.
However, parsing of strings that might contain version numbers is done
in core via the Perl_scan_version function, which may be called during
compilation or may be called later when version objects are created by
Perl_new_version or Perl_upg_version.
A new helper function, Perl_prescan_version, has been added to validate
a string under either strict or lax rules. This is used in toke.c for
'package NAME VERSION' in strict mode and by Perl_scan_version in lax
mode. It matches the behavior of the verison.pm regular expressions,
but does not use them directly.
A new test file, comp/packagev.t, validates strict and lax behaviors of
'package NAME VERSION' and 'version->new(VERSION)' respectively and
verifies their behavior against the $STRICT and $LAX regular
expressions, as well. Validating these two implementation should help
ensure they each work as intended.
Other files and tests have been modified as necessary to support these
changes.
There is remaining work to be done in a few areas:
* documenting all changes in behavior and new functions
* determining proper treatment of "," as decimal separators in
various locales
* updating diagnostics for new error messages
* porting changes back to the version.pm distribution on CPAN,
including pure-Perl versions

Tom Christiansen's perlfunc cleansing, part 2
From "PATCH: perlfunc cleanup, part 2" (28574.
1263366404@chthon)
Quite a lot here, I know.
I probably spent the most time on pack(), as you'll see, but there are
plenty of rephrasings of awkward wordings plus the occasional orthographic
fix scattered throughout. I've added a few more examples here and there,
and certain simple things like perl vs Perl have been set to canonical form.
I've eyeballed the diffs for my own typos, and I've looked at the whole
thing after running it both through nroff (not so pretty, but better) and
also through troff (*much* better).
I didn't try to make sure all code inserts were indented the same number of
spaces, not because it doesn't need being done, but because I didn't want
to blow this patch up that much more than it already is. You can see the
ragged left in the code inserts if you troff->ps->pdf view it. Oh, well.
Hope this helps,

$glob is essentially an anonymous typeglob (no NAME, EGV or GvSTASH).

valid IO slot; Stringifying to "" seems to be the right thing, and not

fix for [perl #41138] $_ leaks under threads
It's possible for an interpreter to get cloned with an SV copied that ends
up only linked from @_. For example, local $x causes a link to the
original $x SV to be added to the save stack, but when cloning a thread
the save stack isn't copied. If the old $x was also in someone's @_,
then it gets copied, but because @_'s elements aren't normally reference
counted, old $x ends up with a refcount of zero, and you get a "leaked"
warning when the thread exits.
The workaround is to reify any reify-able AVs in the cloned interpreter
during cloning.

be done. It's not a political edit, just a copy-edit.

Add new prototype warning test file to MANIFEST

Perldelta presentation nits
Matt S Trout [Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:59:45 +0000]
Move prototype parsing related warnings from the 'syntax' top level warnings category to a new 'illegalproto' subcategory.
Two warnings can be emitted when parsing a prototype -
Illegal character in prototype for %s : %s
Prototype after '%c' for %s : %s
The first one is emitted when any invalid character is found, the latter
when further prototype-type stuff is found after a slurpy entry (i.e. valid
character but in such a place as to be a no-op, and therefore likely a bug).
These warnings are distinct from those emitted when a sub is overwritten by
one with a different prototype, and when calls are made to subroutines with
prototypes - those are in the pre-existing sub-category 'prototype'.
Since modules such as signatures.pm and Web::Simple only need to disable
the warnings during parsing, I chose to add a new category containing only
these. Moving these warnings into the 'prototype' sub-category would have
forced authors to disable more warnings than they intended, and the entire
raison d'etre of this patch is to allow the specific warnings involved to
be disabled.
In order to maintain compatibility with existing code, the new location
needed to be a sub-category of 'syntax' - this means that
no warnings 'syntax';
will continue to work as expected - even in cases like Web::Simple where all
subcategories extant prior to this patch are re-enabled (this is another
reason why a move into the 'protoype' category would not achieve the desired
goal).
The category name 'illegalproto' was chosen because the most common warning
to encounter is the "Illegal character" one, and therefore 'illegalproto'
while minorly inaccurate by ignoring the (relatively recent and unknown)
second warning is an easy name to spot on an initial skim of perllexwarn
and will behave as expected by also disabling the case of an unusual prototype
that happens to look like a normal one.
This patch updates pod/perllexwarn.pod, perldiag.pod and perl5113delta.pod
to document the new category, toke.c and warnings.pl to create and implement
the new category, and a new test t/op/protowarn.t that verifies the new
behaviour in a number of cases. It also includes the files generated by
regen.pl that are found in the repo - notably warnings.h and lib/warnings.pm.

So as a minimum, when cloning an interpreter, skip cloning @DB::args.

reset sv_serial for each new interpreter
to a value of 0 + 1000000*interpreter_number
where interpreter_number is currently just a dirty hash of my_perl

in perl_clone() move common code outside ifdef/else blocks
e diff looks confusing, but basically it changes:
#ifdef PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS
...
COMMON_BLOCK
#else
...
COMMON_BLOCK
#end
into
#ifdef PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS
...
#else
...
#end
COMMON_BLOCK

Avoid race conditions with files in /tmp, by explicitly checking dev & inode.
(Concerns raised by and the form of the solution suggested by Bram.)
Nicholas Clark [Thu, 7 Jan 2010 15:17:15 +0000]
Correct errors in the use of multiple targets, which could break parallel make.
Where a single script (or program) generates multiple files, the Makefile rule
was written with those multiple files as targets on the same line. This would
be correct if that syntax meant "these $n things are built by these commands".
However it doesn't - it means "to build any of these targets, run these
commands", and hence to run them once for each of the targets. This can result
in race conditions with parallel makes, with files being trampled on and
strange failure modes.
Hence the correct style is to give one of the targets on the rule, and rules
that make all the other targets that are generated depend on that target.

Unlink PerlIO's tempfiles for the case of no -T, but bogus $ENV{TMPDIR}
When -T is enabled, or when $ENV{TMPDIR} is bogus, perlio.c used a pathname
matching </tmp/PerlIO_??????>. However, it was only correctly unlinking the
file for the case of -T enabled.

[perl #71870] Use of uninitialized value in bitwise and B::Deparse
It's better to just silence it in Deparse rather than stopping
B::PMOP::reflags from returning undef because of a non-constant regexp.
That way, we keep the possibility to test for this situation, and it stays
in line with B::PMOP::pregcomp.
Also bump $B::Deparse::VERSION.

Document that interpolating a '(??{ code })' construct in a regular
expression also requires "use re 'eval'", just as '(?{ code })' does.

Fix a couple of typos and standardize on using 'regexp' instead of
using a 'regex'/'regexp' mash.

Increase default pipe buffer size on VMS to 8192 on 64-bit systems.
As Charles Lane's piping code reaches its 10-year anniversary, it's
time to bump up the default to something slightly more appropriate
for modern systems. In addition to other benefits, this fixes test
failures when a test script outputs a large amount of text on one
line (e.g., t/re/reg_posixcc.t).
