[PATCH] [5.12] Allow build on aix 4.2 (sigaction and IPv6)
Based on a patch by AUGUSTE-ETIENNE José <jose.auguste-etienne@cgss-guyane.fr>
The attached patches are necessary to work around aix 4.2 lack of support for IPv6,
and limited support for POSIX sigaction()
The hints/aix_4.sh patch solves the following build failure:
"Socket.xs", line 468.16: 1506-007 (S) "struct in6_addr" is undefined.
The ext/POSIX/t/sigaction.t patch solves the failing test reported a looong time ago:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2006-01/msg01124.html
After testing a simple C program using POSIX sigaction() with SA_SIGINFO,
I found that it worked on aix 4.3 but failed on aix 4.2.
I think it's safe to skip the SA_SIGINFO test on the aix 4.2 platform.
perl 5.12.0 builds fine on the following platforms / C compiler :
aix 4.2.1 / vac 5.0.2.7 (with attached patches)
aix 4.3.2 / gcc 2.95.3
aix 4.3.3 / vac 4.4.0.3
aix 4.3.3 / vac 5.0.28
aix 5.2 / GNUpro gcc 2.9.aix51.020209
The atatched patches should be applied to blead and maint.

Set the legacy process name with prctl() on assignment to $0 on Linux
Ever since perl 4.000 we've only set the POSIX process name via
argv[0]. Unfortunately on Linux the POSIX name isn't used by utilities
like top(1), ps(1) and killall(1).
Now when we set C<$0 = "hello"> both C<qx[ps h $$]> (POSIX) and
C<qx[ps hc $$]> (legacy) will say "hello", instead of the latter being
"perl" as was previously the case.
See also the March 9 2010 thread "Why doesn't assignment to $0 on
Linux also call prctl()?" on perl5-porters.

Nicholas Clark [Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:37:53 +0000]
Move PERL_ASYNC_CHECK() from the runloop to control flow OPs.
For the typical code this gives a 5% speedup, and removes the cost of "safe
signals". Tight looping code will show less gains, but should never be slower.
Subtle bugs might remain - there might be constructions that enter the runloop
(where signals used to be dispatched) but don't contain any PERL_ASYNC_CHECK()
calls themselves.

David Mitchell [Thu, 15 Apr 2010 09:20:50 +0000]
use cBOOL for bool casts
bool b = (bool)some_int
doesn't necessarily do what you think. In some builds, bool is defined as
char, and that cast's behaviour is thus undefined. So this line in mg.c:
const bool was_temp = (bool)SvTEMP(sv);
was actually setting was_temp to false even when the SVs_TEMP flag was set.
Fix this by replacing all the (bool) casts with a new cBOOL() cast macro
that (hopefully) does the right thing.

PATCH: [perl #72998] regex looping
If a character folds to multiple ones in case-insensitive matching,
it should not match just one of those, or the regular expression can
loop. For example, \N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF} folds to 'ff', and so
"\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /f+/i
should match. Prior to this patch, this function returned that there is
a match, but left the matching string pointer at the beginning of the
"\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" because it doesn't make sense to match
just half a character, and at this level it doesn't know about the '+'.
This leaves things in an inconsistent state, with the reporting of a
match, but the input pointer unchanged, the result of which is a loop.
I don't know how to fix this so that it correctly matches, and there are
semantic issues with doing so. For example, if
"\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /ff/i
matches, then one would think that so should
"\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /(f)(f)/i
But $1 and $2 don't really make sense here, since they both refer to the
half of the same character.
So this patch just returns failure if only a partial character is
matched. That leaves things consistent, and solves the problem of
looping, so that Perl doesn't hang on such a construct, but leaves the
ultimate solution for another day.

The message ‘Variable "%s" is not imported’ cannot be suppressed, even
with -X (local $SIG{__WARN__}=sub{} is what I have to use):

---Global symbol "$foo" requires explicit package name at (eval 1) line 2.
--- at -e line 1.

RT 8857: premature free in local of tied element
[The original bug report concerned local($_) remained tied, but while
looking at it, Nicholas found some related code that popped up premature
free errors. This commit fixes the freeing issue rather than the issue of
the original bug report ]
Background:
local $a[0]
does, approximately:
svp = av_fetch(av);
SAVE(av,*svp);
sv = newSV();
*svp = sv;
This used to leak when av was tied, as the new sv only got embedded in
*svp, which for tied arrays is a temporary placeholder rather than
somewhere within AvARRAY. This leak was fixed in 2002 by adding the
following:
if (SvTIED_mg(sv, PERL_MAGIC_tiedelem))
sv_2mortal(sv);
which worked, except for the following:
sub f { local $_[0] }
f($_) for ($tied[0]);
Here, @_ is a real array not a tied one, yet its first element is a
PERL_MAGIC_tiedelem which trigged the test above. So the sv got
mortalised *and* stored in the array, so got freed twice. The fix is
to test the *array/hash* for tied-ness rather than the element.

Something like the following ended up corrupted:

The croak on error popped back the context stack etc to the EVAL pushed by

outer perl_run, losing all the mg_get() related parts of the C stack.

Explicitly set the location of cpanp-run-perl when under PERL_CORE
CPANPLUS::Config checks 3 specific scenarios first
when looking for cpanp-run-perl: parallel to cpanp,
parallel to CPANPLUS.pm, or installed into a custom
prefix like /tmp/foo. Only *THEN* does it check the
the path.
If the perl core is extracted to a directory that has
cpanp-run-perl installed the same amount of 'uplevels'
as the /tmp/foo prefix, we'll pull in the wrong script
by accident.
Since we set the path to cpanp-run-perl explicitily
at the top of this script, it's best to update the config
ourselves with a path lookup, rather than rely on its
heuristics. Thanks to David Wheeler, Josh Jore and Vincent
