Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason [Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:09:24 +0000]
Add =encoding utf8 to all core non-ASCII POD files + test script

    perl Porting/checkpodencoding.pl

To check if the core contains any naughty POD that uses non-ASCII
without declaring an encoding.

With this patch all the POD in core (except POD tests we're ignoring)
has a correct =encoding directive. The script also flags problems in
lib/* and cpan/* which aren't being fixed as part of this commit.

The code in PerlIO-scalar that implements the open $fh, '>' \$buffer

PerlIOScalar_read() function, rather than rely on the default behaviour
(which implements it in terms of PerlIOScalar_get_ptr() etc), since that
approach had a tendency to call FETCH multiple times

14 years agotries: don't allocate memory at runtime
David Mitchell [Mon, 3 May 2010 12:57:58 +0000]
tries: don't allocate memory at runtime

This is an indirect fix for
    [perl #74484] Regex causing exponential runtime+mem usage

The trie runtime code was doing more SAVETMPS than FREETMPS and was thus
growing a large tmps stack on heavy backtracking. Rather than fixing this
directly, I rewrote part of the trie code so that it no longer needs to
allocate memory in S_regmatch (it still does in find_byclass()).

The basic issue is that multiple branches in the trie may trigger an
accept state; for example:

    "abcd" =~ /xyz/abcd.*X|ab.*Y|/

here, words (branches) 2 and 3 are accept states. The original approach
was, at run time, to create a list of accepted word numbers and the
character positions of the end of each of those words. Then run the rest
of the pattern for each word in the list in turn (in word index order).
This requires memory for the list to be allocated and freed.

The new approach involves creating extra info at compile time; in
particular, for each word, a pointer to the previous accepted word (if
any) in the state tree. For example for the above pattern, part of the
state tree may be

      q    b    c    d
    1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5
            (#3)       (#2)

(e.g. at state 1, if the next char is 'a', we transition to state 2).
Here, state 3 is an accept state with word #3, and 5 is an accept state
with word #2. So we build a table indexed by word number, which has
wordinfo[2] = 3, wordinfo[3] = 0, thus building the word chain 2->3->0.

At run time we run the trie to completion, and remember the word
associated with the longest accept state (word #2 above). Then by following
back the chain of .prev fields, we can produce a list of all accepting
words. We then iteratively find the smallest-numbered (ie LH-most) word in
the chain, and run with it. On failure and backtrack, we find the
next-smallest and so on.

Since we are no longer recording the end-position of each word in the
string, we have to recalculate this for each backtrack. We initially
record the end-position of the shortest accepting word, and given that we
know the length of each word, we can calculate the new position each time
as an offset from that first word. Depending on unicode and folding, that
calculation can be cheap or expensive.

This algorithm is optimised for the typical case where there are a small
number (<= 2) accepting states.

This patch creates a new compile-time array, trie->wordinfo[], indexed by
word number, which contains relevant info about each word. This also
supersedes the old trie->newword[] array, whose function of recording
"overspills" of multiple words per accept state, is now handled as part of
the wordinfo[].prev chain.

Better fix for RT #2140 (list assignment with duplicated temporaries)

4c8f17b905f2 (change 7867) took the approach of a special case in sv_setsv()
when PL_op indicated that the current OP was OP_AASSIGN. The problem is in one
part of pp_aassign, where it was using sv_mortalcopy() on values that were
correctly marked as temporaries, but also still needed later. Hence a more
targetted solution is to avoid that call, and to instead use API calls that
will not steal temporaries.

Vincent Pit [Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:53:28 +0000]
Save the popped cx->blk_eval.old_namesv before calling LEAVE

It's fine to still refer to cx members between POPEVAL and LEAVE, but there
are a few places where the namesv is read after LEAVE happens. This is bad
because LEAVE can call arbitrary code ; in particular, it can call a destructor
that does call_sv(cv, G_EVAL), in which case the old eval context cx gets
overwritten by the new one and cx->blk_eval.old_namesv points to garbage.

Fix Module::Build::Platform::cygwin runtime error

This addresses runtime errors in Module::Build::Platform::cygwin
as reported by Jesse Vincent.  The changes are backported from
the Module::Build repository and the version number has been
slightly incremented to indicate a change from the version on CPAN.

This hopefully addresses test errors in t/actions/installdeps.t, but
the error seems specific to building perl on cygwin and has not been
reported when Module::Build was tested on cygwin by CPAN Testers.

14 years agoGlobs that are in symbol table can be un-globbed
Lubomir Rintel (GoodData) [Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:19:23 +0000]
Globs that are in symbol table can be un-globbed

If a symbol table entry is undefined when a glob is assigned into it, it
gets a FAKE flag which makes it possible to be downgraded when non-glob
is subsequently assigned into it. It doesn't really matter, until we
decide to localize it -- it wouldn't be possible to restore its GP upon
context return if it changed type, therefore we must not do that.

This patch turns off FAKE flag when localizing a GV and restores it when
the context is left. A test case is included.

Deal with "\c{", and its kin

make regen is needed

This patch forbids non-ascii following the "\c".  It also terminates for
"\c{" with a message to contact p5p if there is need for continuing its
current definition.  And if the character following the "\c" causes the
result to not be a control character, a warning is issued.  This is
currently 'deprecated', which by default is turned on.  This can easily
be changed later.

This patch is the initial patch.  It does not do any fancy showing the
context where the problematic construct occurs.  This can be added
later.

It gathers the 3 occurrences of evaluating \c and puts them in one
common routine.
