Omnibus strict and lax version parsing
Authors: John Peacock, David Golden and Zefram
The goal of this mega-patch is to enforce strict rules for version
numbers provided to 'package NAME VERSION' while formalizing the prior,
lax rules used for version object creation. Parsing for use() is
unchanged.
version.pm adds two globals, $STRICT and $LAX, containing regular
expressions that define the rules. There are two additional functions
-- version::is_strict and version::is_lax -- that test an argument
against these rules.
However, parsing of strings that might contain version numbers is done
in core via the Perl_scan_version function, which may be called during
compilation or may be called later when version objects are created by
Perl_new_version or Perl_upg_version.
A new helper function, Perl_prescan_version, has been added to validate
a string under either strict or lax rules. This is used in toke.c for
'package NAME VERSION' in strict mode and by Perl_scan_version in lax
mode. It matches the behavior of the verison.pm regular expressions,
but does not use them directly.
A new test file, comp/packagev.t, validates strict and lax behaviors of
'package NAME VERSION' and 'version->new(VERSION)' respectively and
verifies their behavior against the $STRICT and $LAX regular
expressions, as well. Validating these two implementation should help
ensure they each work as intended.
Other files and tests have been modified as necessary to support these
changes.
There is remaining work to be done in a few areas:
* documenting all changes in behavior and new functions
* determining proper treatment of "," as decimal separators in
various locales
* updating diagnostics for new error messages
* porting changes back to the version.pm distribution on CPAN,
including pure-Perl versions

* Em dash cleanup in pod/
I looked at all the instances of spaces around -- and in most cases
converted the sentences to use more appropriate punctuation. In
general, the -- in the perl docs seem to be there only to make
really complicated and really long sentences.
I didn't look at the closed em-dashes. They probably have the same
sentence-complexity problem.
I left some open em-dashes in place. Those are the ones used in
lists.

Tom Christiansen's perlfunc cleansing, part 2
From "PATCH: perlfunc cleanup, part 2" (28574.
1263366404@chthon)
Quite a lot here, I know.
I probably spent the most time on pack(), as you'll see, but there are
plenty of rephrasings of awkward wordings plus the occasional orthographic
fix scattered throughout. I've added a few more examples here and there,
and certain simple things like perl vs Perl have been set to canonical form.
I've eyeballed the diffs for my own typos, and I've looked at the whole
thing after running it both through nroff (not so pretty, but better) and
also through troff (*much* better).
I didn't try to make sure all code inserts were indented the same number of
spaces, not because it doesn't need being done, but because I didn't want
to blow this patch up that much more than it already is. You can see the
ragged left in the code inserts if you troff->ps->pdf view it. Oh, well.
Hope this helps,

fix for [perl #65582] anon globs segfaulting
The following code has had differing behaviours:

my $glob = *$io_ref;
defined($glob) "$glob"
-------------- -------
5.8.8 false "" with uninit warning
5.10.0 true (coredump)
this commit true ""
$glob is essentially an anonymous typeglob (no NAME, EGV or GvSTASH).
It shouldn't register as undefined since it's clearly a valid GV with a
valid IO slot; Stringifying to "" seems to be the right thing, and not
warning seems right too, since its not undef.

fix for [perl #41138] $_ leaks under threads
It's possible for an interpreter to get cloned with an SV copied that ends
up only linked from @_. For example, local $x causes a link to the
original $x SV to be added to the save stack, but when cloning a thread
the save stack isn't copied. If the old $x was also in someone's @_,
then it gets copied, but because @_'s elements aren't normally reference
counted, old $x ends up with a refcount of zero, and you get a "leaked"
warning when the thread exits.
The workaround is to reify any reify-able AVs in the cloned interpreter
during cloning.
Also fixes [perl #70602], [perl #70974]

So I started tidying up the C<delete> and C<each> documentation,

some typo corrections, but most of this is just smoothing out
infelicitous wording. I did add one brief example to C<glob>.
I've made no warnings about delete and slices with negative
indices; I'm hoping that may be fixed, as David has suggested
be done. It's not a political edit, just a copy-edit.
This is obviously only the first portion of the file, but the
tweaks were getting extensive enough I thought I'd better send
in a checkpoint. I'll finish it up over the next several days.

Matt S Trout [Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:59:45 +0000]
Move prototype parsing related warnings from the 'syntax' top level warnings category to a new 'illegalproto' subcategory.
Two warnings can be emitted when parsing a prototype -
Illegal character in prototype for %s : %s
Prototype after '%c' for %s : %s
The first one is emitted when any invalid character is found, the latter
when further prototype-type stuff is found after a slurpy entry (i.e. valid
character but in such a place as to be a no-op, and therefore likely a bug).
These warnings are distinct from those emitted when a sub is overwritten by
one with a different prototype, and when calls are made to subroutines with
prototypes - those are in the pre-existing sub-category 'prototype'.
Since modules such as signatures.pm and Web::Simple only need to disable
the warnings during parsing, I chose to add a new category containing only
these. Moving these warnings into the 'prototype' sub-category would have
forced authors to disable more warnings than they intended, and the entire
raison d'etre of this patch is to allow the specific warnings involved to
be disabled.
In order to maintain compatibility with existing code, the new location
needed to be a sub-category of 'syntax' - this means that
no warnings 'syntax';
will continue to work as expected - even in cases like Web::Simple where all
subcategories extant prior to this patch are re-enabled (this is another
reason why a move into the 'protoype' category would not achieve the desired
goal).
The category name 'illegalproto' was chosen because the most common warning
to encounter is the "Illegal character" one, and therefore 'illegalproto'
while minorly inaccurate by ignoring the (relatively recent and unknown)
second warning is an easy name to spot on an initial skim of perllexwarn
and will behave as expected by also disabling the case of an unusual prototype
that happens to look like a normal one.
This patch updates pod/perllexwarn.pod, perldiag.pod and perl5113delta.pod
to document the new category, toke.c and warnings.pl to create and implement
the new category, and a new test t/op/protowarn.t that verifies the new
behaviour in a number of cases. It also includes the files generated by
regen.pl that are found in the repo - notably warnings.h and lib/warnings.pm.

@DB::args is a hack: it gets set with non-refcounted aliases of the

Once the sub that ran caller() has exited, @DB::args will contain garbage:
elements will be SVs that have been freed, re-assigned etc.

Nicholas Clark [Thu, 7 Jan 2010 15:17:15 +0000]
Correct errors in the use of multiple targets, which could break parallel make.
Where a single script (or program) generates multiple files, the Makefile rule
was written with those multiple files as targets on the same line. This would
be correct if that syntax meant "these $n things are built by these commands".
However it doesn't - it means "to build any of these targets, run these
commands", and hence to run them once for each of the targets. This can result
in race conditions with parallel makes, with files being trampled on and
strange failure modes.
Hence the correct style is to give one of the targets on the rule, and rules
that make all the other targets that are generated depend on that target.

Correct \p{print} to not match LINE SEPARATOR nor PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR
The Unicode Standard defines (as a recommendation) that Print be based on
graphical characters and blank characters (minus controls). Perl's has been
based on space rather than blank. The only practical effect this has is that
Perl erroneously matches the LINE SEPARATOR and PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR, which
clearly are not printable characters.

* fix a perlop fix from debian: bugs.debian.org/514814
The original said
C<< <I<filehandle>> >>
The italic is probably meant for "filehandle", which is a stand-in
for a concrete filehandle. The italic should not apply to the
syntax for the line input operator.
The fix turned it inside out and brought back the ugly interior
sequences:
I< C< E<lt>filehandleE<gt> > >
It's much better without worrying about the italic face.

[perl #70748] threads panic in del_backref
This was caused by change 34210/41fae7a, which simply reveals a bug that
already existed.
A sub returned from a thread brings a lot of baggage with it, including
some globs. There is this comment near the top of Perl_sv_dup in the
if(param->flags & CLONEf_JOIN_IN) block that reads:
/** don't clone stashes if they already exist **/
Then later on, under case SVt_PVGV:
/* Don't call sv_add_backref here as it's going to be
created as part of the magic cloning of the symbol
table. */
So what’s happening is that there is a glob with no back-reference in its
stash, which glob is sometimes freed after the stash, so it induces the
panic.

expand-macro.pl was printing the header include to STDOUT by mistake.
This stopped it expanding macros in header files not directly or indirectly
included via perl.h or EXTERN.h
The bug was introduced with change
4784c5e80ccedd3734ce162e02ed1c7e25e60c01.

hotfix CPAN.pm to force only ftp URLs
CPAN::FTP has problems with curl and other command line
programs. Having mirror autoconfig prefer http URLs was
triggering these bugs for any bootstrap installation without
LWP.
This hotfix forces only ftp URLs from autoconfig which
hides the problem for now until CPAN::FTP can be fixed
upstream.
