[perl #70171] 5.10.0 -> 5.10.1 Regression in fafafbaf70 (Big slowdown in 5.10 @_ parameter passing)

In this case my %x = %$x assigns a hash to itself. This causes the
hv_clear in pp_aassign to wipe away the hash before it can be copied.
The ‘panic: attempt to copy freed scalar’ error is triggered by this
line, which copies the value:
    sv_setsv(tmpstr,*relem);        /* value */

The solution is to make sure the OPpASSIGN_COMMON flag is on in such
cases, so that pp_aassign copies everything before doing the assignment.

Father Chrysostomos [Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:19:35 +0000]
[perl #70764] $' fails to initialized for pre-compiled regular expression matches

The match vars are associated with the regexp that last matched
successfully. In the case of $str =~ $qr or /$qr/, since the $qr could
be used in multiple scopes that need their own sets of match vars, the
$qr is cloned by Perl_reg_temp_copy as of change 30677/28d8d7f. This
happens in pp_regcomp before pp_match has stringified the LHS, hence the
bug. In short, /$gror/ is not equivalent to
($which = !$which) ? /$gror/ : /$gror/, which is weird.

Attached is a patch, which admittedly is a hack, but fixes this
particular side effect of what is probably a bad design, by stringifying
the LHS in pp_regcomp, and having pp_match skip get-magic in such cases.
A real fix far exceeds my capabalities, and would also be very intrusive
according to

Nicholas Clark [Wed, 2 Dec 2009 16:01:10 +0000]
Ensure that pp_qr returns a new regexp SV each time. Resolves RT #69852.

Instead of returning a(nother) reference to the (pre-compiled) regexp in the
optree, use reg_temp_copy() to create a copy of it, and return a reference to
that. This resolves issues about Regexp::DESTROY not being called in a timely
fashion (the original bug tracked by RT #69852), as well as bugs related to
blessing regexps, and of assigning to regexps, as described in correspondence
added to the ticket.

It transpires that we also need to undo the SvPVX() sharing when ithreads
cloning a Regexp SV, because mother_re is set to NULL, instead of a cloned
copy of the mother_re. This change might fix bugs with regexps and threads in
certain other situations, but as yet neither tests nor bug reports have
indicated any problems, so it might not actually be an edge case that it's
possible to reach.

to:

Karl Williamson [Sat, 28 Nov 2009 19:04:34 +0000]
mktables performance improvement

The attached patch got the easiest performance improvements to mktables.
Hopefully this is good enough for now.

This involved:

1) Nicholas' patch
2) I stored complete_name instead of recomputing it each time.
3) Used $_[xxx] instead of shift in very heavily used subroutines
4) removed trace accidentally left in.

I also changed the misspelled subroutine name discovered by Craig Berry.
I searched for any other misspellings and didn't find any.

Also removed trailing white space that keeps creeping back in, and now
this doesn't generate pod entries if not outputting a pod file, and
clarified warning message if no mktables.lst is present.

I couldn't figure out a way to conditionally use 'no overloading', as
it is called at compile time.  So I just commented out the old stuff
that will work for 5.8, with a note about using that if you want to
use 5.8

It's fixed by the attached patch.  Since the bug is an inconsistency
in the SV data structure, it can't be sensibly tested from Perl code,
so I'm at a loss for writing a test script.  Hopefully that panic with
-Dmad is sufficient.

Mostly fixed by the attached patch.  The fault is a logic error on my
part, probably from the early phase of developing the lexer API patch,
when I didn't properly understand the various buffer pointer variables.

In my tests with -Dmad, I'm still getting a test failure ("panic: input
overflow") from t/op/incfilter.t.  The underlying problem is the filter
layer mishandling things when a filter function gives it a multiline
string, so it generates an invalid SV state (strlen(SvPVX(PL_linestr))
> SvCUR(PL_linestr)).  This faulty state also occurs without -Dmad,
and so doesn't appear to be Mad-related, it just doesn't in practice
cause the test panic without -Dmad.  I'm investigating this bug now.

Tim Bunce wrote:
>The primary issue is the off-by-one error in the array indexing.

There's a bit more to it than that.  The indexing was off-by-one for
*some* places that process a new line, but correct for others, so the
saved source as a whole was mangled rather than simply offset.  Also,
there were some redundant calls to update_debugger_info(), so some lines
got saved twice, in some cases off-by-one for one saving and not for
the other.  The saved source is, therefore, hopelessly broken in 5.11.2.

Attached patch fixes the source saving.  Includes a new test, which works
through all reachable places that source lines get saved.  This should
close RT #70804.
