14 years agoAvoid creating @EXPORT_FAIL in every package using Exporter.
Nicholas Clark [Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:21:24 +0000]
Avoid creating @EXPORT_FAIL in every package using Exporter.

Previously, if package INKLE_KLINK is an Exporter, then the Exporter code's
symbolic lookup of \@{"INKLE_KLINK::EXPORT_FAIL"} would cause both that array
and the enclosing typeglob to be instantiated. Now the typeglob and array are
only created if present. (Strictly, if there's something in INKLE_KLINK's
symbol table for EXPORT_FAIL. But likely that will only ever be the array.)

This saves about 200 bytes per package that uses Exporter but does not need an
@EXPORT_FAIL.

14 years agoIn Perl_safesys{c,m,re}alloc(), defer dTHX for non-DEBUGING builds.
Nicholas Clark [Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:26:14 +0000]
In Perl_safesys{c,m,re}alloc(), defer dTHX for non-DEBUGING builds.

Under ithreads, dTHX expands to pthread_getspecific() [or something similarly
expensive], which the compiler can't optimise away. However, its return value
isn't needed unless the allocation fails. So defer the call, hence avoiding
it entirely on a successful allocation.

DEBUGING builds require the value of dTHX for debugging purposes, so we can't
postpone it for them. Unthreaded builds were never affected as they don't use
thread local storage for the interpreter context.

14 years agouc(): Handle Greek YPOGEGRAMMENI
Karl Williamson [Wed, 2 Jun 2010 21:07:29 +0000]
uc(): Handle Greek YPOGEGRAMMENI

Unicode contains two context-sensitive case-changing rules.  This patch
enables one of them, dealing with the Greek YPOGEGRAMMENI.  The code had
been #ifdef'd out, so the changes here are more than what the diff
shows.  The reason it was #ifdef'd out was because more research was
needed to verify that it was correct, which I have now done, and think
it is.

The issue is we may just be uppercasing a portion of the context, so
don't have complete knowledge of what should be done.  This patch causes
us to move the ypogegrammeni to as far right as it should go, or to the
end of the context we know about, whichever comes first.  That's the
best we can do.  If it really should be moved further to the right,
there's no way we can do it, because the user has not called uc()
with the full information needed.  So, in all cases, this is better than
just leaving it where it was in the input.  Also, the applicable context
is limited to a logical character, that matched by /\X/, so if the user
is calling uc() on a subset of a logical character, it really is their
mistake.

that $# was removed and pointing the user to perldata.pod for the
explanation of $#ary usage.

        * bugfix: treat modules correctly that are deprecated in perl 5.12.

        * bugfix: RT #57482 and #57788 revealed that configure_requires
        implicitly assumed build_requires instead of normal requires. (Reported
        by Andrew Whatson and Father Chrysostomos respectively)

        * testfix: solaris should run the tests without expect because (some?)
        solaris have a broken expect

        * testfix: run tests with cache_metadata off to prevent spill over

Nicholas Clark [Sat, 12 Jun 2010 20:29:03 +0000]
For tied file handle calls, use PUSH* when we know that the stack has space.

Previously the code was using XPUSH* in many cases, often to push back values
recently popped off the stack.

Nicholas Clark [Sat, 12 Jun 2010 18:51:19 +0000]
Remove unecessary EXTEND()s from pp_sys.c

If we've just POP*ed something from the stack, it will already have space.
If we conditionally POP* something from the stack, avoid the EXTEND() in that
path. Also, use PUSH() rather than XPUSH() where we know that the stack is large
enough. Changes to pp_close, pp_binmode, pp_enterwrite, pp_readlink and pp_alarm.

Fix edge case in pp_eof where the stack extent was not checked.

Analogous to pp_getc and pp_tell in ac3697cd90b00fae, pp_eof has a conditional
POP from the stack, but an unconditional PUSH to the stack, but no check that
the stack had space for the PUSH. This bug has been present since perl 5.000.

Fix edge cases in pp_getc and pp_tell where the stack extent was not checked.

Both conditionally POP a GV from the stack, but always PUSH a return value to
it. For the case where they did not POP the GV, they made no check that the

This patch fixes several long-standing typos and naming confusions in
Policy_sh.SH, standardizing on the variable names used in config.sh.
This will change the behavior of Policy.sh if you happen to have been
accidentally relying on the Policy.sh incorrect behavior.  I'd appreciate
feedback from anyone using Policy.sh to be sure nothing is broken by
this change.  Thanks to Stoned Elipot for pointing this out.

perlbug: always allow change of sender address

The code that guessed a default sender address would under some
circumstances not display this guess to the user with the option to change
it. Specifically, if $Config{cf_me} eq {login id of the user running
perlbug}.

In my case, cf_email got set at build time (Configure default) of
'davem@pigeon.(none)', which was then silently used. Not good!

14 years agoPATCH: Bump Locale-Codes from 3.12 to 3.13
Sullivan Beck [Mon, 7 Jun 2010 20:58:34 +0000]
PATCH: Bump Locale-Codes from 3.12 to 3.13

  Attached is a patch to upgrade the Locale-Codes distribution (containing
  the core modules Locale::Country, Locale::Language, and
  Locale::Currency) to the most recent version.

  ====
  Background:

  The core modules Locale::Country, Locale::Language, and Locale::Currency
  (all part of the Locale-Codes distribution) should be updated on a
  regular basis. They contain "codes" from various internet standards
  which change over time.

  I plan on releasing new versions twice a year to keep the codes
  up-to-date. At this point, I'm not planning on any significant code
  changes (other than bug fixes), so the only significant changes
  between releases should be to update the codes.
