Nicholas Clark [Mon, 18 May 2009 12:08:36 +0000]
In Perl_ptr_table_new(), fight back against the cult of Newxz().

(There's no need to zero-allocate memory for a structure when you're about to
explicitly allocate every member.)

Nicholas Clark [Mon, 18 May 2009 11:50:06 +0000]
Tidy the implementation of Perl_mg_dup().

As all the structure elements are directly assigned to, use Newx() rather than
Newxz(). Replace the explicit assignments with a direct structure copy. When
reading values from the parent, read from those copied to the new structure,
rather than the identical value in the old structure, to recduce CPU cache
pressure.

Nicholas Clark [Mon, 18 May 2009 10:57:38 +0000]

the address of the structure, with a special case for the first time round.

WIN32 preprocessor symbols is usually tested with #ifdef, not #if

Doesn't really make a difference as WIN32 is defined as '1' when

Changes the error message to "Unrecognized character %s; marked by <--

15 years agodo/require don't treat '.\foo' or '..\foo' as "absolute paths" on Windows.
Christoph Lamprecht [Mon, 11 May 2009 21:00:11 +0000]
do/require don't treat '.\foo' or '..\foo' as "absolute paths" on Windows.

Both 'do' and 'require' treat paths *explicitly* relative to the
current directory (starting with './' or '../') as a special form of
absolute path.  That means they can be loaded directly and don't need
to be resolved via @INC, so they don't rely on '.' being in @INC
(unless running in taint mode). This behavior is "documented" in the P5P
thread "Coderefs in @INC" from 2002.

The code is missing special treatment of backslashes on Windows
so that '.\\' and '..\\' are handled in the same manner.

This change fixes

    http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=63492

(Note that the references to taint mode in the bug report are only
relevant as far as taint mode removes '.' from @INC).

This change also fixes the following Scalar-List-Utils bug report:

    http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=25430

The Scalar::Util test failure in t/p_tainted.t only manifests itself
under Test::Harness 3, and only outside the Perl core:

* Test::Harness 2 (erroneously) puts '-I.' on the commandline in taint
  mode and runs something like this:

      `perl -I. t/p_tainted.t`

  so '.\t\tainted.t' can be found via '.' in @INC.

* Core Perl runs something like this from the t/ directory:

      `..\perl.exe -I../lib ../ext/List-Util/t/p_tainted.t`

  so '.\..\ext\List-Util\t\tained.t' can be found via '../lib' in @INC.

15 years agoselect() generates "Invalid parameter" messages on Windows Vista.
Jan Dubois [Mon, 11 May 2009 22:21:27 +0000]
select() generates "Invalid parameter" messages on Windows Vista.

The messages are generated by OutputDebugString() so are only visible
inside a debugger, or other debugger viewer applications.

The messages are generated by the _get_osfhandle() calls with invalid
file ids.  This change makes sure it is only called when the corresponding
bit in the select() arguments has been set.

Related bug reports:

    http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=82995
    http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11896
    http://getpopfile.org/ticket/45

Even with this patch there are still residual "Invalid parameter" messages
in the debug output while building Perl itself.  They are generated by
miniperl in the win32_fclose() function, again calling _get_osfhandle()
with an invalid handle.  The same messages can be observed when Perl
is built *without* USE_PERLIO (just like miniperl).

- in when(), a range 1..42 will be expanded, and not treated as a
  boolean flip-flop operator
- It will not distribute properly with array smart-matching, as

15 years agoperltie.pod docpatch

perltie.pod docpatch

Some years ago I submitted a docpatch for perltie to mention DBM::Deep
alongside MLDBM.  This updates that patch.

The change is merely to remove the word "experimental" now that DBM::Deep
is over five years old and is stable.

15 years agoExport two more PerlIO symbols.
Steve Hay [Wed, 6 May 2009 09:25:00 +0000]
Export two more PerlIO symbols.

Ben Morrow noticed that:

PerlIO_push is exported, but PerlIO_find_layer is not, so getting a
PerlIO_funcs* to pass to it is difficult.

Several exported functions (PerlIO_parse_layers, PerlIO_layer_fetch,
PerlIO_list_free, ...) take a PerlIO_list_t* argument, but
PerlIO_list_alloc is not exported, so these are effectively useless.

Document that FileCache uses symbolic references

As noted by Marc Haber in <http://bugs.debian.org/318579>,
using FileCache.pm as per the SYNOPSIS doesn't work under
'use strict'. This is a bit unexpected nowadays, so mention
it in the documentation.

Paul Fenwick [Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:44:01 +0000]
Make File::Copy always return 0 (not "") on failure.

On Unix systems, the subroutines in File::Copy always return 0
on failure.

On Windows, move() and mv() return 0, but copy() and cp() return "".

This commit makes File::Copy consistently return 0 on failure.

15 years agoDocument that XS_VERSION_BOOTCHECK may break if $VERSION is a long enough NV
Niko Tyni [Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:02:01 +0000]
Document that XS_VERSION_BOOTCHECK may break if $VERSION is a long enough NV

As seen in <http://bugs.debian.org/482139>, using a long floating point
number as $VERSION can make XS_VERSION_BOOTCHECK fail because of a loss
of precision in the stringification:

RRDs object version 1.2999070803 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.29990708 at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/DynaLoader.pm line 219.

The mismatch happens in Perl_upg_version(), which converts a double value
(NV) to a string with nine decimals but leaves a string value intact.

Using a string as $VERSION works fine:

-$VERSION=1.299907080300;
+$VERSION="1.299907080300";

so recommend this in the VERSIONCHECK entry of perlxs.pod.
