Cache the signal number or -1 in mg_private, to reduce calls to Perl_whichsig().
It doesn't matter that 0 isn't cacheable, as the logic in Perl_magic_setsig()
is such that we already can't "set" $SIG{ZERO}. Without this we make thousands
of failing calls to Perl_whichsig() from Perl_magic_getsig() for "__WARN__".

Perl_mg_clear() did not cope with the called magic deleting itself - fix this.

Should all routines that iterate over the magic chain be hardened against this?

Refactor Perl_magic_setsig() to remove duplication in the function exit logic.

15 years agoMerge the bulk of Perl_magic_clearsig() into Perl_magic_setsig().
Nicholas Clark [Wed, 20 May 2009 19:52:58 +0000]
Merge the bulk of Perl_magic_clearsig() into Perl_magic_setsig().

The comment at the top of Perl_magic_clearsig() said:
    XXX Some of this code was copied from Perl_magic_setsig. A little
    refactoring might be in order.
and it was not wrong.

Perl_magic_clearsig() is almost equivalent to Perl_magic_setsig() with the new
signal handler as "DEFAULT". Externally, the sv parameter to Perl_magic_setsig()
was Not NULL, so use a NULL sv to signal that the code is being called as
Perl_magic_clearsig(), for the places where the behaviour of the two diverges.

Perl_magic_clearsig() needs to remove magic, else delete $SIG{INT} returns undef

Nicholas Clark [Wed, 20 May 2009 09:32:25 +0000]
Remove binary compatibility scaffolding for the change to PL_bitcount.

15 years agoReplace run-time on-demand initialisation of PL_bitcount with a constant table.
Nicholas Clark [Wed, 20 May 2009 06:30:48 +0000]
Replace run-time on-demand initialisation of PL_bitcount with a constant table.
(The table is 256 bytes; the run-time initialisation code is larger than this!)
Adapt generate_uudmap.c to generate the initalisation block for PL_bitcount,
writing the code to bitcount.h, using the same approach as uudmap.h.

To preserve binary compatibility:
for MULTIPLICITY:
  keep Ibitcount in the interpreter structure, but remove all the macros that
  access it. PL_bitcount is a new symbol in the object file, which won't clash
  with anything as that name wasn't used before.
otherwise:
  keep PL_bitcount as a char *, but initialise it at compile time to a new
  constant array PL_bitcount array. Remove the code that attempts to Safefree()
  it at interpreter destruction time.
