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.

14 years agouse cBOOL for bool casts
David Mitchell [Thu, 15 Apr 2010 09:20:50 +0000]
use cBOOL for bool casts

bool b = (bool)some_int

doesn't necessarily do what you think. In some builds, bool is defined as
char, and that cast's behaviour is thus undefined. So this line in mg.c:

    const bool was_temp = (bool)SvTEMP(sv);

was actually setting was_temp to false even when the SVs_TEMP flag was set.
Fix this by replacing all the (bool) casts with a new cBOOL() cast macro
that (hopefully) does the right thing.

14 years agoPATCH: [perl #72998] regex looping
Karl Williamson [Wed, 14 Apr 2010 03:25:36 +0000]
PATCH: [perl #72998] regex looping

If a character folds to multiple ones in case-insensitive matching,
it should not match just one of those, or the regular expression can
loop.  For example, \N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF} folds to 'ff', and so
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /f+/i
should match.  Prior to this patch, this function returned that there is
a match, but left the matching string  pointer at the beginning of the
"\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" because it doesn't make sense to match
just half a character, and at this level it doesn't know about the '+'.
This leaves things in an inconsistent state, with the reporting of a
match, but the input pointer unchanged, the result of which is a loop.

I don't know how to fix this so that it correctly matches, and there are
semantic issues with doing so.  For example, if
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /ff/i
matches, then one would think that so should
    "\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /(f)(f)/i
But $1 and $2 don't really make sense here, since they both refer to the
half of the same character.

So this patch just returns failure if only a partial character is
matched.  That leaves things consistent, and solves the problem of
looping, so that Perl doesn't hang on such a construct, but leaves the
ultimate solution for another day.

RT 8857: premature free in local of tied element

[The original bug report concerned local($_) remained tied, but while
looking at it, Nicholas found some related code that popped up premature
free errors. This commit fixes the freeing issue rather than the issue of
the original bug report ]

Background:

    local $a[0]

does, approximately:

    svp = av_fetch(av);
    SAVE(av,*svp);
    sv = newSV();
    *svp = sv;

This used to leak when av was tied, as the new sv only got embedded in
*svp, which for tied arrays is a temporary placeholder rather than
somewhere within AvARRAY. This leak was fixed in 2002 by adding the
following:

    if (SvTIED_mg(sv, PERL_MAGIC_tiedelem))
sv_2mortal(sv);

which worked, except for the following:

    sub f { local $_[0] }
    f($_) for ($tied[0]);

Here, @_ is a real array not a tied one, yet its first element is a
PERL_MAGIC_tiedelem which trigged the test above. So the sv got
mortalised *and* stored in the array, so got freed twice. The fix is
to test the *array/hash* for tied-ness rather than the element.

14 years agofix RT 23810: eval and tied methods
David Mitchell [Thu, 8 Apr 2010 12:16:56 +0000]
fix RT 23810: eval and tied methods

Something like the following ended up corrupted:
    sub FETCH { eval 'BEGIN{syntax err}' }
The croak on error popped back the context stack etc to the EVAL pushed by
entereval, but the corresponding JUMPENV_PUSH(3) unwound all the way to the
outer perl_run, losing all the mg_get() related parts of the C stack.

It turns out that the run-time parts of pp_entereval were protected with
a new JUMPENV level, but the compile-time parts weren't. Add this.

Jos Boumans [Tue, 6 Apr 2010 21:19:08 +0000]
Explicitly set the location of cpanp-run-perl when under PERL_CORE

    CPANPLUS::Config checks 3 specific scenarios first
    when looking for cpanp-run-perl: parallel to cpanp,
    parallel to CPANPLUS.pm, or installed into a custom
    prefix like /tmp/foo. Only *THEN* does it check the
    the path.
    If the perl core is extracted to a directory that has
    cpanp-run-perl installed the same amount of 'uplevels'
    as the /tmp/foo prefix, we'll pull in the wrong script
    by accident.
    Since we set the path to cpanp-run-perl explicitily
    at the top of this script, it's best to update the config
    ourselves with a path lookup, rather than rely on its
    heuristics. Thanks to David Wheeler, Josh Jore and Vincent
    Pit for helping to track this down.

Remove perl4-library deprecation warnings

After the recent, long discussion about this topic and demonstrated
cases where the deprecation warnings may actually *break* things, we

14 years agoPL_defoutgv isn't always a GV.
David Mitchell [Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:03:50 +0000]
PL_defoutgv isn't always a GV.

Nasty code like the following results in PL_defoutgv not pointing
to a valid GV:

    my $x = *STDERR; select($x); $x = 1;

This causes all sorts of SEGVs when PL_defoutgv is subsequently accessed,
because most code assumes that it has a valid gv_gp pointer.  It also
turns out that PL_defoutgv is under-tested; for example, temporarily
hacking pp_close to make an arg-less close() croak didn't cause any
minitest failures.

Add a new test file that does some basic testing of a bad PL_defoutgv,
and fix all the obvious badness in accessing it.

This also fixes #20727, which although ostensibly a tie bug, was due to
PL_defoutgv pointing to a tiedelem scalar, and fun like that described
above happening.
