These were being exported with a wrapper that treated them as method
calls, which causes them to fail.  They are just functions, are
documented as such, and should never be subclassed, so this patch
just exports them directly as functions without the wrapper.

14 years agoavoid multiple FETCHes
David Mitchell [Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:28:41 +0000]
avoid multiple FETCHes

The fix 2d961f6deff7 for RT #5475 included a mechanism for the early
calling of get magic on something like

    $tied[0];

so that even though the element is used in void context, we still call
FETCH. Some people seem to rely on this.

However, the call to mg_get() didn't distinguish between a tiedelem
member retrieved from a tied array/hash, and a tiedscalar element
retrieved from a plain array/hash. In the latter case, the S_GSKIP
protection mechanism doesn't apply and a simple $foo = $h{tiedelem}
generated two calls to FETCH.

Fix this by only calling mg_get() on the element if it came from a *tied*
array/hash.

A side-effect of this fix is that the following no longer calls FETCH:

    my @plain_array;
    tie $plain_array[0], ....; # element 0 is now a tied scalar
    $plain_array[0]; # void context:  no longer calls FETCH.

This required one test in op/tie.t to be fixed up, but in general I think
this is a reasonable compromise.

14 years agoPATCH [perl #72624] charnames::viacode(0) returns undef
Karl Williamson [Fri, 16 Apr 2010 04:12:32 +0000]
PATCH [perl #72624] charnames::viacode(0) returns undef

The viacode() function contained the code from the _getcode() function from
Unicode::UCD, unchanged.  However, the rest of viacode() requires that
the result be specially formatted to do a string match with leading
zeros inserted to bring the length up to 4 if less than that.  The
original function only needs to get the number right, as a numerical
comparison is done, so it doesn't do this.  This showed up with calling
viacode with 0, but the bug also affected any input that looked like a
hex number, or a U+ number, such as 'BEE' or 'U+EF'.  These need to be
massaged into '0BEE' and '00EF' for the pattern match later in the
routine to succeed.

The patch also adds a test case to Unicode::UCD to verify that it really
does work ok on 0.

There is a small possibility of a memory leak in toke.c when there is a

better error message besides.

14 years agoadd Perl_magic_methcall
David Mitchell [Sat, 24 Apr 2010 23:56:32 +0000]
add Perl_magic_methcall

Add a new function that wraps the setup needed to call a magic method like
FETCH (the existing S_magic_methcall function has been renamed
S_magic_methcall1).

There is one functional change, done mainly to allow for a single clean
wrapper function, and that is that the method calls are no longer wrapped
with SAVETMPS/FREETMPS. Previously only about half of them had this, so
some relied on the caller to free, some didn't. At least we're consistent
now. Doing it this way is necessary because otherwise magic_methcall()
can't return an SV (eg for POP) because it'll be a temp and get freed by
FREETMPS before it gets returned. So you'd have to copy everything, which
would slow things down.

Steffen Mueller [Wed, 21 Apr 2010 10:18:49 +0000]
Update Locale::Codes to 3.12

We're skipping inclusion of some files such as the unused Build.PL,
INSTALL, etc. cpan/Locale-Codes/internal/* should probably also not be
included in perl core.

Chris Williams [Wed, 21 Apr 2010 08:47:27 +0000]
Make the Module::CoreList function API consistent

  Some functions could only be called with class method type syntax.
  Other functions could only be called with normal sub syntax.

  This makes the API consistent, functions can be called with
  either syntax.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason [Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:50:42 +0000]
Only all-upper case "special" POD sections

"GETTING ACCESS TO THE REPOSITORY" is a bit too loud compared to
"Getting access to the repository". The POD standard itself doesn't
have anything to say about this, but most of our long =head1 sections
in pod/*.pod don't use all-caps.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason [Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:36:51 +0000]
Commit messages should start with a ~50 char summary

The first sentence is stolen from Git's own
Documentation/SubmittingPatches. We have a lot of commit messages that
overflow `git log --pretty=oneline', but it wouldn't hurt if we change
that sooner rather than later.

14 years agoDon't tell the reader to `git checkout origin/*'
Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason [Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:04:30 +0000]
Don't tell the reader to `git checkout origin/*'

This results in a branchless checkout (detached HEAD). Making changes
like this is a valid way to use Git, but IMO not something we should
be recommending.

Branches are cheap and it's harder to lose your commits if they're on
a named branch than on a detached HEAD.

[rt.cpan.org #56740] Format Perl versions >= 5.6.0 as X.Y.Z

Decimal style Perl version numbers are increasingly awkward.  5.01 or
5.010000 is hard to equate with 5.10.0.  It would be easier to read if
Module::CoreList formatted version numbers from 5.6 onward as dotted
versions to match how they are presented elsewhere.
