BUG in hints/hpux.sh

Tom, I was not able to run the Configure script on my new HP D-server running HP-UX 10.01.
The problem was a single line in the hints/hpux.sh file:

xxcontext=`grep $(printf %#x $(getconf CPU_VERSION)) /usr/include/sys/unistd.h`

I commented this line out and inserted the following to get a clean execution under the
Bourne shell:

DECCPU=`getconf CPU_VERSION`
HEXCPU=`printf %#x ${DECCPU}`
xxcontext=`grep $HEXCPU /usr/include/sys/unistd.h`

I am very happy to have Perl 5.003 on my new development box.

Subject: QNX Port

Greetings,

  QNX is now compiling 5.003_08 successfully and passing all
  tests except for two which have been identified as library
  errors and are in the process of being fixed by the vendor.

  I'd like to submit a few small patches which makes this
  work. The patches are accompanied by text describing their
  motivation.

  If I am moving too fast, please tell me slow down. If you have
  suggestions for other/better approaches, please let me know.

  I will follow up with a hints file and a (possibly more
  controversial) Configure change.

    -Norton Allen

Under QNX, I need to include <sys/wait.h> in util.c to prototype
waitpid(). This appears straightforward to me, but if it causes
trouble, it could be made OS-dependent.

This patch is against perl5.003_08

Here is a patch that accomplishes this. It replaces the rsignal
construction in mg.c with a generalized set of functions: rsignal,
rsignalsave, rsignalrestore, and rsignalstate.

Note that global.sym is patched to accomodate the new globally accessible
functions. They probably will be of use to XSUBs too.

This was diffed from a slightly messy 5.003_08, but should apply
acceptably over any 5.003_* series.

Looks OK under VMS.  Appended is a patch to the test, which works around
the fact that file size as returned by -s isn't updated until a file is

    Since _09 is going to be alpha anyway, I reiterate my question:
     Is there any reason to not include my hash/array performance
     patches in _09?

    Btw, here is the next performance patch. It makes PADTMP values
    stealable too. I do not do by setting TEMP flags on them, since it
    would be a very distributed patch, and it would break some places
    which check for TEMP for some other reasons (yes, I checked ;-).

    This patch decreases *twice* the memory usage of
     perl -e '$a = "a" x 1e6; 1'

    Enjoy,

28 years agomemory corruption / security bug in sysread,syswrite + patch
Jarkko Hietaniemi [Mon, 25 Nov 1996 19:46:31 +0000]
memory corruption / security bug in sysread,syswrite + patch

Using a negative offset in sysread() gives interesting results.
I get either

assertion botched: OV_MAGIC(op, bucket) == MAGIC
zsh: 22828 abort      perl xp1 < /etc/passwd

if the offset is 'mild' or

panic: realloc at xp2 line 1.

if the offset is 'wild'.

Using a negative offset in syswrite() opens up interesting vistas,
like, say, your stack :-)

A patch follows. 'Reasonably' small negative values are accepted,
they count from the end of the data. One possible point of debate:
should that be +1? That is, if the offset is negative, should that
mean 1) at the point 2) after the point? For sysread(), "after" might
sometimes be a better choice?

PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version

This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.

This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

Test suite for the untaint method of class IO::Handle.

File mode under OS/2 is not what you expect. However, this has
nothing to do with databases, _and_ there is a test
for this in stat.t (which dutifully fails). There is
no point to consider this behaviour as a bug in
database code.
So OS/2 is special-cased in these tests.

This broke between 5.001n and 5.002.  There was a long winded thread
about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:

Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
code breaks!  Here's a patch against 5.00306.
