Add 5.10.1-RC1 release to perlhist
Nicholas Clark [Sun, 9 Aug 2009 09:44:28 +0000]
Run the main tests "slowest first" by ordering the rules correctly.
(It seems that the current TAP::Harness implementation sequences based on the
parallel/serial rules, not the order of the list of test names presented to it.)

Perl_newIO() can become a mathom by making newIO() a wrapper around newSV_type()

Merge gv_AVadd(), gv_HVadd() and gv_SVadd() into gv_add_by_type().

David Mitchell [Wed, 5 Aug 2009 13:20:29 +0000]
add CLONEf_KEEP_PTR_TABLE to win fork emulation.
This keeps the ptr-table table around after the thread has been created.
This has been on for user threads for a while now, but not for
Windows forks. Turns out that Variable::Magic relies on the table still
being there, so crashes under windows forks. This increases memory usage
per fork, but stops things crashing. Sigh.

WIFEXITED() cygwin regression
t/run/exit.t:58: eval { POSIX::WIFEXITED() };
fails on the new cygwin-1.7 with
5 [main] perl 3500 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp
before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x
C0000005, errno 11
...
until I kill perl, because you must use an argument for WIFEXITED.
It didn't fail before, so I assume it's a cygwin regression, but it
must be fixed in the perl testsuite,
since an empty argument cries for trouble.
Use 0 or 1 as argument, ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} preferred.

bump-perl-version false positives
In the runup to 5.10.1, Dave created bump-perl-version to automate
the tedious process of incrementing the Perl version number. Trying
it out on blead, I found that there are a few files it matches
which either mention a version of Perl and then say "replace 5.x.y with
your version of Perl" or which are describing changes in a particular
version of perl. The attached patch skips those files.
At this point, we're down to 18 files which need to be changed to bump
the version at release time.
