15 years agoTweak the GV downgrading of f7461760 to avoid free or nearly freed GVs.
Nicholas Clark [Sun, 8 Nov 2009 22:04:10 +0000]
Tweak the GV downgrading of f7461760 to avoid free or nearly freed GVs.

It's possible during global destruction that the GV is freed before the
optree. Whilst the SvREFCNT_inc is happy to bump from 0 to 1 on a freed SV,
the corresponding SvREFCNT_dec from 1 to 0 will trigger an assertion
failure, because the entry to sv_clear checks that the scalar is not already
freed.  A check of for !SvIS_FREED(gv) turns out to be invalid, because
during global destruction the reference count can be forced down to zero
(with SVf_BREAK set).  In which case raising to 1 and then dropping to 0
triggers cleanup before it should happen.  I *think* that this might
actually be a general, systematic, weakness of the whole idea of SVf_BREAK,
in that code *is* allowed to raise and lower references during global
destruction, so any *valid* code that happens to do this during global
destruction might well trigger premature cleanup.

15 years agoBareword sub lookups
Zefram [Sun, 8 Nov 2009 14:03:45 +0000]
Bareword sub lookups

Attached is a patch that changes how the tokeniser looks up subroutines,
when they're referenced by a bareword, for prototype and const-sub
purposes.  Formerly, it has looked up bareword subs directly in the
package, which is contrary to the way the generated op tree looks up
the sub, via an rv2cv op.  The patch makes the tokeniser generate the
rv2cv op earlier, and dig around in that.

The motivation for this is to allow modules to hook the rv2cv op
creation, to affect the name->subroutine lookup process.  Currently,
such hooking affects op execution as intended, but everything goes wrong
with a bareword ref where the tokeniser looks at some unrelated CV,
or a blank space, in the package.  With the patch in place, an rv2cv
hook correctly affects the tokeniser and therefore the prototype-based
aspects of parsing.

The patch also changes ck_subr (which applies the argument context and
checking parts of prototype behaviour) to handle subs referenced by an
RV const op inside the rv2cv, where formerly it would only handle a gv
op inside the rv2cv.  This is to support the most likely kind of
modified rv2cv op.

The attached patch is the resulting revised version of the bareword
sub patch.  It incorporates the original patch (allowing rv2cv op
hookers to control prototype processing), the GV-downgrading addition,
and a mention in perldelta.

Gerard Goossen [Wed, 4 Nov 2009 11:36:30 +0000]

Rationale: This makes the behaviour of my_exit consistent, so it no
longer depends on whether a subroutine was called using call_sv or as a
normal using an entersub op. Previously, the exit code was sometimes
converted to an exception.

Deprecate use of := to mean an empty attribute list in my $pi := 4;

An accident of Perl's parser meant that my $pi := 4; was parsed as an empty
attribute list. Empty attribute lists are ignored, hence the above is
equivalent to my $pi = 4; However, the fact that it is currently valid syntax
means that := cannot be used as new token, without silently changing the
meaning of existing code.

Hence it is now deprecated, so that it can subsequently be removed, allowing
the possibility of := to be used as a new token with new semantics.

15 years ago[perl #69875] Slow down split in scalar context :-)
Father Chrysostomos [Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:15:08 +0000]
[perl #69875] Slow down split in scalar context :-)

The patch to speed up split in scalar context broke Font::GlyphNames,
because it stops scalar(@array = split) from working. The attached
patch fixes this, and ineluctably slows it down slightly.

(Patch amended by replacing the 2nd GIMME_V macro call by the gimme
variable)

15 years agodisable non-unicode case insensitive trie matching
Yves Orton [Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:37:08 +0000]
disable non-unicode case insensitive trie matching

Also revert 8902bb05b18c9858efa90229ca1ee42b17277554 as it merely
masked one symptom of the deeper problems.

Also fixes RT #69973, which was a segfault which was exposed by
8902bb05, see the ticket for further details.

http://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=69973

At the code of this is the problem that in unicode matching a bunch
of code points have case folding rules beyond just A-Z/a-z. Since
the case folding rules are decided at runtime by the string, we cant
use the same TRIE tables for both unicode/non-unicode matching.

Until this is reconciled or some other solution is found case insensitive
matching only gets the TRIE optimisation when the pattern is uniocde.
