26 years agoupdated to Text::Wrap 98.112801 from CPAN; one published change
David Muir Sharnoff [Sat, 28 Nov 1998 04:34:17 +0000]
updated to Text::Wrap 98.112801 from CPAN; one published change
has happened without the authors knowledge or consent; the subversive
version (which is in 5.00502) breaks one of the tests in the
authors testsuite; attempts are being made to find a fix that
avoids breaking code already running with the 5.005_02 version

Gurusamy Sarathy [Sun, 29 Nov 1998 16:08:03 +0000]
another threads reliability fix: serialize writes to thr->threadsv
avoid most uses of PL_na (which is much more inefficient than a
simple local); update docs to suit; PL_na now being thr->Tna may
be a minor compatibility issue for extensions--will require dTHR

26 years agovarious fixes for race conditions under threads: mutex locks based
Gurusamy Sarathy [Sun, 29 Nov 1998 12:40:28 +0000]
various fixes for race conditions under threads: mutex locks based
on PL_threadnum were seriously flawed, since it means more than one
thread could enter the critical region; PL_na was global instead of
thread-local; child thread could finish and free thr structures
before Thread->new() got around to creating the Thread object;
cv_clone() needed locking, as it mucks with PL_comppad and other
global data; new_struct_thread() needed to lock template-thread's
mutex while copying its data

  Save globs even if we have saved cv itself before - may be imported.

  While we don't save "bootstrap" CV we need to provide a stub,
  so that if we require it later we don't fall through and attempt
  to DynaLoad module again.

  Attempt to save %INC so that "require" does not reload things
  we have compiled-in (does not work right yet - seems to be due
  to PL_incgv being created in perl_parse() current scheme setting
  GvHV() is "better" than saving the glob, but still does not
  work as I expect).

Jarkko Hietaniemi [Sun, 22 Nov 1998 18:21:07 +0000]
MSG_PROXY for GNU/Hurd (previously we believed that
all GNU libc platforms have MSG_PROXY.  Untrue).
In fact this ended up as a major MSG_* and SCM_*
update.  The MSG_XXX known to be enums in some
versions of the glibc are now probed for and respective
HAS_MSG_XXX are defined.  While I was at it I noticed
SCM_RIGHTS being similarly an enum.  This reminded me of
an ancient discussion in perl5-porters:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/9612/msg01017.html
The BSD socket interface has a nifty feature for passing
file descriptors and credentials--via sockets.  It may be
too late to add this functionality to the CORE but
at least Configure now probes for the functions,
structs, and includes, defining the appropriate
HAS_YYY and I_ZZZ, and the Socket extension exports
the constants, in case somebody wants to write an
extension for this interface.
