14 years agoFixes and new functions for Module::CoreList
Chris Williams [Thu, 22 Apr 2010 21:37:09 +0000]
Fixes and new functions for Module::CoreList

  Fixed functions will edge-case involving querying for Module::CoreList
    itself. Pointed out by Ilmari.

  Added removed_from() and removed_from_by_date() functions
    for querying which release a module was removed from core.

  Amended corelist utility to use new removed from functions when
    stating when a module entered core ( and when it left it ).

  Added tests to the testsuite to cover the edge-cases and new funcs.

Jan Dubois [Thu, 22 Apr 2010 20:46:46 +0000]
time() resolution is full seconds

So any fudging in the timing needs to be at least 1 second to have any
effect. Upped the total $sleep value to 4 (on Windows) to make sure at
least 3 seconds have passed.  Amends commit 0ebb4f0.

This is not backwards-compatible, as some error messages can change,

Todd Rinaldo [Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:31:16 +0000]
FreeBSD 7+ no longer contains /usr/bin/objformat, so the following
(harmless) following error message is printed when hints are run:

The reason for this is outlined in this email from Feb 2007
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2007-February/038523.html

This patch just skips the objformat check for versions 7+ and
assumes ELF.  (The end result is unchanged, but the error

This "proper fix" replaces the 5.12.0 compatible fix in commit 634b482,

follow up fix for fd69380d5d5b95ef16e2521cf4251b34ee0ce151

The original fix for tied elements losing magic had a bug that was masked
by a bool casting issue. Once the casting was fixed, the bug surfaced:
elements of @+ lost their values when returned from a sub. By removing the
TEMP flag from the regdatum PVLV, we force it to be copied when returned.

Dispatch signals in infinite loops such as 1 while 1;

With the move of PERL_ASYNC_CHECK() out from the runloop to control ops,
infinite loops became truely infinite, as their optree has no control ops.
Hence add a PERL_ASYNC_CHECK() to pp_unstack to ensure signals will be
dispatched.

H.Merijn Brand [Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:47:15 +0000]
[PATCH] [5.12] Allow build on aix 4.2 (sigaction and IPv6)

Based on a patch by AUGUSTE-ETIENNE José <jose.auguste-etienne@cgss-guyane.fr>

The attached patches are necessary to work around aix 4.2 lack of support for IPv6,
and limited support for POSIX sigaction()

The hints/aix_4.sh patch solves the following build failure:

"Socket.xs", line 468.16: 1506-007 (S) "struct in6_addr" is undefined.

The ext/POSIX/t/sigaction.t patch solves the failing test reported a looong time ago:

http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2006-01/msg01124.html

After testing a simple C program using POSIX sigaction() with SA_SIGINFO,
I found that it worked on aix 4.3 but failed on aix 4.2.

I think it's safe to skip the SA_SIGINFO test on the aix 4.2 platform.

perl 5.12.0 builds fine on the following platforms / C compiler :

aix 4.2.1 / vac 5.0.2.7 (with attached patches)
aix 4.3.2 / gcc 2.95.3
aix 4.3.3 / vac 4.4.0.3
aix 4.3.3 / vac 5.0.28
aix 5.2 / GNUpro gcc 2.9.aix51.020209

The atatched patches should be applied to blead and maint.

14 years agoSet the legacy process name with prctl() on assignment to $0 on Linux
Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason [Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:12:04 +0000]
Set the legacy process name with prctl() on assignment to $0 on Linux

Ever since perl 4.000 we've only set the POSIX process name via
argv[0]. Unfortunately on Linux the POSIX name isn't used by utilities
like top(1), ps(1) and killall(1).

Now when we set C<$0 = "hello"> both C<qx[ps h $$]> (POSIX) and
C<qx[ps hc $$]> (legacy) will say "hello", instead of the latter being
"perl" as was previously the case.

See also the March 9 2010 thread "Why doesn't assignment to $0 on
Linux also call prctl()?" on perl5-porters.
