15 years agoUse of freed comppad array during clear_yystack()
Marcus Holland-Moritz [Wed, 8 Apr 2009 07:49:19 +0000]
Use of freed comppad array during clear_yystack()

Message-ID: <20081026231720.34258457@r2d2>

Patch description from the original email :

I tried to make tests pass on a perl built with -DPERL_POISON,
as some tests were dying with segfaults. They all originated
from the same source: clear_yystack() after a compile error. [...]
As far as I can see, after croaking the newly
created CV is destroyed and its pad is undef'd. [...]

This will SvREFCNT_dec PL_comppad and set PL_comppad to NULL.
However, later, in clear_yystack(), when the ops are freed, the
old PL_comppad is restored by PAD_RESTORE_LOCAL, as a reference
is still in ps->comppad. But now the pad AV is already dead.

Normally (i.e. without PERL_POISON), the dead AV will have
AvARRAY(av) set to NULL by av_undef(). So PAD_RESTORE_LOCAL will
actually set PL_curpad to NULL, and thus pad_free() will not
attempt to do anything.

But with PERL_POISON, the storage for AvARRAY(av) (i.e. sv_u)
will be reused for chaining the free SV heads in the arena
(as opposed to SvANY(sv) in case of !PERL_POISON). This means
that PAD_RESTORE_LOCAL will find AvARRAY(av) non-NULL and will
set PL_curpad to that value, finally causing the segfault in
pad_free().

While I think I understand what's going on, I don't have the
slightest clue how to properly fix this. Given that it's not
a problem only under PERL_POISON, but always (as dead SV heads
are being used), I think it should ultimately be fixed.

The only thing I can offer right now is a patch to make it
work with PERL_POISON as good (or as bad) as without by
making PAD_RESTORE_LOCAL explicitly check if the pad passed
in is already dead and refusing to use it if it is.

15 years agoh2xs incorrectly treats enum values like macros
Niko Tyni [Sun, 19 Oct 2008 20:25:10 +0000]
h2xs incorrectly treats enum values like macros

Patch and description by Rainer Weikusat, forwarded from
http://bugs.debian.org/502297 :

 The h2xs program scans C headers for 'constants' either defined
 as preprocessor macros or via enum and builds a sorted list of names
 containing the macros and enum values found in this way. This list
 is then passed to ExtUtils::Constant::WriteConstants, which generates
 the corresponding const-c.inc and const-xs.inc files when perl Makefile.PL
 is executed. By default, ie when just processing a constant name, this
 function assumes that the name refers to a preprocessor macro and
 the generated C-code in const-c.inc contains conditional compilation
 directives to either return the macro value or Perl_constant_NOTDEF,
 depending on the defined'ness of the macro. This causes constants
 defined as enumeration values to never be available to module users,
 because they are not visible to the preprocessor.

 Instead of passing just a name to the WriteConstants-routine, a
 hashref (members documented in ExtUtils::Constant::Base(3perl))
 can be used to specify more details regarding what code
 should be generated for a particular constant. For an enumeration
 value, a hashref constructed as

     { name => <name of the constant>, macro => 1 }

 could be used to get rid of the inappropriate preprocessor
 directives.

15 years agoMake h2ph look in "include-fixed", needed by at least gcc 4.3
Niko Tyni [Sun, 5 Apr 2009 19:29:38 +0000]
Make h2ph look in "include-fixed", needed by at least gcc 4.3

As seen in <http://bugs.debian.org/522673>, since 4.2.0 or so
gcc's search path has a new "include-fixed" directory,
which currently contains <syslimits.h> and a few other headers.

Converting <syslimits.h> therefore fails unless h2ph knows about the new
directory too.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-02/msg02038.html for some
background to the gcc change.
