Jim Cromie [Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:12:45 +0000]
simplify PERL_MEM_LOG

This combines multiple environment variable reads into 1,
where it looks for values like "2mst"
-2 leading digits are atoi()d to get FD
-m memory logging please
-s sv logging also
-t timestamp those please.

Combining these reduces overhead such that it seemed
worthwhile to drop all the ifdefs.  TBD whether this works
in the environment that drove the original tradeoffs.

If it isnt enough, Id be tempted by a global static ptr,
and on 1st use, is read, seen 0, a lock is taken, and getenvar
run to populate it, unlocked, proceed.  This would remove

give it to them.  Users providing their own implementation can
obtain current behavior by adding -DPERL_MEM_LOG_NOIMPL.
Frankly, the average user probably wants _ENV by default too.

Add gcc predefined macros to $Config{cppsymbols} on GNU/kFreeBSD.

This is needed at least by h2ph, otherwise the generated .ph files
choke on missing __LONG_MAX__ and similar definitions.

Craig A. Berry [Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:08:28 +0000]
Remove CPANPLUS's SQLite tests from the core.

They will never be run here in the absence of DBD::SQLite, and the
absurdly long names can cause trouble for venerable but now exotic
volume formats such as ODS-2 or FAT.

Handle the rare but legal angle bracket in unixify.

We have been getting:

$ perl -e "print VMS::Filespec::unixify('foo:<bar>');"
/foo/<bar/

but should be (and now are) getting:

$ perl -e "print VMS::Filespec::unixify('foo:<bar>');"
/foo/bar/

Rafael Garcia-Suarez [Tue, 16 Jun 2009 06:27:23 +0000]
Implement new regex escape \N

\N, like in Perl 6, is equivalent to . but not influenced by /s.
It matches any character except \n. Note that followed by { and
a non-number, \N is still a named character.

15 years agoThe attached patch to perlio.c fixes the problem of errno getting set.
Jarkko Hietaniemi [Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:53:22 +0000]
The attached patch to perlio.c fixes the problem of errno getting set.

While I am firmly in the school of "do not look at $! except immediately
after a failure", I also agree that spuriously setting it is messy.  But
there is just no way of knowing where your errno might have been.

The problem was that PerlIO_fast_gets() (and other nearby similar
capability-checking PerlIO routines) set the errno (and it was being
called a lot, from sv_gets()).  I think setting the errno here was
a mistake: checking for "can has FOO" should not set external state,
such as the errno.  The patch removes that errno trashing from all those
routines.
