14 years agofix for [perl #72604] @DB::args and win32 fork
David Mitchell [Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:13:33 +0000]
fix for [perl #72604] @DB::args and win32 fork

A previous fix for [perl #66108] (7fa38291524c327a3cb23bfe94979e1537743cac)
stopped cloning PL_dbargs, on the grounds that it was usually filled with
garbage (it contains an un-refcounted copy of @_'s elements; once the
function has returned, these may have been freed or reassigned). However,
the fix instead recreated PL_dbargs as a new empty AV that *wasn't* then
associated with the DB::args glob; so modifications to PL_dbargs weren't
seen via @DB::args.

The fix is to simply set it to null when cloning; pp_caller() will
recreate it again if necessary when it is needed.

Add some symbols from version::vxs to the default share

It appears that the core version.pm works with Safe, but that the

only the XS version of version.pm, not the pure perl alternative.

14 years agoUpdate Porting/release_managers_guide.pod and Porting/makerel
Steve Hay [Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:30:34 +0000]
Update Porting/release_managers_guide.pod and Porting/makerel

In the course of releasing perl-5.11.5 I found a few things that are not
quite correct or no longer relevant:

- Add comments on the problems with doing this on Win32
- There are no longer Roman numerals in README.vms (since eb505c2afb6b5ac2aaba7935878ae6494d44732a)
- Note that Module::CoreList's Changes and META.yml files need updating too
- Fix Porting/makerel's null device redirection

One bigger problem remains to be resolved: when run in a normal cmd.exe
shell on Win32, the Porting/makerel script currently generates tarballs
containing world-writable files and directories, which the PAUSE indexer
then rejects as a possible security risk.

Nicholas Clark [Sun, 21 Feb 2010 14:46:27 +0000]
Since change 9c901649534a1360, vendorlib_stem isn't always added to @INC.

Update lib/Config.t to reflect this.

vendorlib_stem used always to be added if defined. Since that change it is only
added if inc_version_list is also defined, which makes "vendor" behaviour
consistent with "site", where sitelib_stem had always only ever been added to
@INC if inc_version_list is defined.

Don't recurse forever if both new() and TIESCALAR() are missing.

This should fix issue #72878. Before calling $pkg -> new in TIESCALAR,
we check whether $pkg -> new is actually the new defined in the Tie::Scalar
package; if true, croak instead of calling it.

14 years agoPATCH: deprecation warnings for unreasonable charnames
Karl Williamson [Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:53:36 +0000]
PATCH: deprecation warnings for unreasonable charnames

Prior to now just about anything has been legal for a character name in
\N{...}.  This means that legal code was broken by having \N{3,4} for
example mean [^\n]{3,4}.  Such code doesn't come from standard
charnames, but from legal custom translators.

This patch deprecates "unreasonable" names.  handy.h is changed by the
addition of macros that taken together define the names we deem
reasonable,  namely alpha beginning with alphanumerics and some
punctuations as continuations.

toke.c is changed to parse each name and to raise a warning if any
problematic characters are found.

Some tests and diagnostic documentation are also included.

14 years agoImprove handling of qq(\N{...}); and /x
Karl Williamson [Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:42:16 +0000]
Improve handling of qq(\N{...}); and /x

It is possible to bypass the lexer's parsing of \N.  This patch causes
the regex compiler to deal with that better.  The compiler no longer
assumes that the lexer parsed the \N.  It generates an error message if
the \N isn't in a form it is expecting, and invalid hexadecimal digits
are now fatal errors, with the position of the error more clearly
marked.

The diagnostic pod has been updated to reflect the new error messages,
with some slight clarifications to the previous ones as well.
