15 years agoadd CLONEf_KEEP_PTR_TABLE to win fork emulation.
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

fails on the new cygwin-1.7 with
     5 [main] perl 3500 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp

It didn't fail before, so I assume it's a cygwin regression, but it

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.

15 years agoAdd security contact information to perlsec
David Golden [Sat, 25 Jul 2009 22:56:58 +0000]
Add security contact information to perlsec

This patch inserts a short paragraph with security contact
information near the top of the "Perl Security" documentation
page.  This would seem a likely place someone would look for
such information (rather than INSTALL or perldelta where it
lives today).  I've put it at the top, not the bottom
to make it easier to find.
