Add new prototype warning test file to MANIFEST

Matt S Trout [Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:59:45 +0000]
Move prototype parsing related warnings from the 'syntax' top level warnings category to a new 'illegalproto' subcategory.
Two warnings can be emitted when parsing a prototype -
Illegal character in prototype for %s : %s
Prototype after '%c' for %s : %s
The first one is emitted when any invalid character is found, the latter
when further prototype-type stuff is found after a slurpy entry (i.e. valid
character but in such a place as to be a no-op, and therefore likely a bug).
These warnings are distinct from those emitted when a sub is overwritten by
one with a different prototype, and when calls are made to subroutines with
prototypes - those are in the pre-existing sub-category 'prototype'.
Since modules such as signatures.pm and Web::Simple only need to disable
the warnings during parsing, I chose to add a new category containing only
these. Moving these warnings into the 'prototype' sub-category would have
forced authors to disable more warnings than they intended, and the entire
raison d'etre of this patch is to allow the specific warnings involved to
be disabled.
In order to maintain compatibility with existing code, the new location
needed to be a sub-category of 'syntax' - this means that
no warnings 'syntax';
will continue to work as expected - even in cases like Web::Simple where all
subcategories extant prior to this patch are re-enabled (this is another
reason why a move into the 'protoype' category would not achieve the desired
goal).
The category name 'illegalproto' was chosen because the most common warning
to encounter is the "Illegal character" one, and therefore 'illegalproto'
while minorly inaccurate by ignoring the (relatively recent and unknown)
second warning is an easy name to spot on an initial skim of perllexwarn
and will behave as expected by also disabling the case of an unusual prototype
that happens to look like a normal one.
This patch updates pod/perllexwarn.pod, perldiag.pod and perl5113delta.pod
to document the new category, toke.c and warnings.pl to create and implement
the new category, and a new test t/op/protowarn.t that verifies the new
behaviour in a number of cases. It also includes the files generated by
regen.pl that are found in the repo - notably warnings.h and lib/warnings.pm.

fix for [perl #66108] Leaked scalars
@DB::args is a hack: it gets set with non-refcounted aliases of the
caller's @_ elements.
Once the sub that ran caller() has exited, @DB::args will contain garbage:
elements will be SVs that have been freed, re-assigned etc.
So as a minimum, when cloning an interpreter, skip cloning @DB::args.

Avoid race conditions with files in /tmp, by explicitly checking dev & inode.

Nicholas Clark [Thu, 7 Jan 2010 15:17:15 +0000]
Correct errors in the use of multiple targets, which could break parallel make.
Where a single script (or program) generates multiple files, the Makefile rule
was written with those multiple files as targets on the same line. This would
be correct if that syntax meant "these $n things are built by these commands".
However it doesn't - it means "to build any of these targets, run these
commands", and hence to run them once for each of the targets. This can result
in race conditions with parallel makes, with files being trampled on and
strange failure modes.
Hence the correct style is to give one of the targets on the rule, and rules
that make all the other targets that are generated depend on that target.

Correct \p{print} to not match LINE SEPARATOR nor PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR
The Unicode Standard defines (as a recommendation) that Print be based on
graphical characters and blank characters (minus controls). Perl's has been
based on space rather than blank. The only practical effect this has is that
Perl erroneously matches the LINE SEPARATOR and PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR, which
clearly are not printable characters.

The italic is probably meant for "filehandle", which is a stand-in
for a concrete filehandle. The italic should not apply to the
syntax for the line input operator.
The fix turned it inside out and brought back the ugly interior
sequences:

[perl #70748] threads panic in del_backref
This was caused by change 34210/41fae7a, which simply reveals a bug that
already existed.
A sub returned from a thread brings a lot of baggage with it, including
some globs. There is this comment near the top of Perl_sv_dup in the
if(param->flags & CLONEf_JOIN_IN) block that reads:
/** don't clone stashes if they already exist **/
Then later on, under case SVt_PVGV:
/* Don't call sv_add_backref here as it's going to be
created as part of the magic cloning of the symbol
table. */
So what’s happening is that there is a glob with no back-reference in its
stash, which glob is sometimes freed after the stash, so it induces the
panic.

Enhancements:
- Added 'Build installdeps' action to install needed dependencies via
a user-configurable command line program. (Defaults to 'cpan'.)
- Command line options may be set via the PERL_MB_OPT environment
variable (similar to PERL_MM_OPT in ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
- Generates MYMETA.yml during Build.PL (new standard protocol for
communicating configuration results between toolchain components)
- Reduced amount of console output under normal operation (use --verbose
to see all output)
- Added experimental inc/ bundling; see Module::Build::Bundling for
details.
New or changed properties:
- Added 'share_dir' property to provide File::ShareDir support;
File::ShareDir automatically added to 'requires' if 'share_dir' is set
- Added 'needs_compiler' property. Defaults to true if XS or c_source
exist. If true, ExtUtils::CBuilder is also added to build_requires.
- 'C_support' is no longer an optional feature. Modern ExtUtils::CBuilder
and ExtUtils::ParseXS added to the 'requires' list. This ensures that
upgrading Module::Build will upgrade these critical modules.
- Clarified that 'apache' in the license attribute indicates the Apache
License 2.0 and added 'apache_1_1' for the older version of the license
(RT#50614)
Deprecations:
- Module::Build::Compat 'passthrough' style has been deprecated. Using
'passthrough' will issue warnings on Makefile.PL generation. See
Module::Build::Compat documentation for rationale.
Internals:
- Replaced use of YAML.pm with YAML::Tiny; Module::Build::YAML is now
based on YAML::Tiny as well
- A new get_metadata() method has been added as a simpler wrapper around
the old, kludgy prepare_metadata() API.
- Replaced guts of new_from_context(). Build.PL is now executed in a
separate process before resume() is called. (This is generally only of
interest to Module::Build or toolchain developers) (RT#49350)
- Add support for 'package NAME VERSION' syntax added in Perl 5.11.1
Notable bug fixes:
- The "test" action now dies when using the 'use_tap_harness'
option and tests fail, matching the behavior under Test::Harness.
(RT#49080) [initial patch from David Wheeler; revised by David Golden]
- Updated PPM generation to PPM v4 (RT#49600) [Olivier Mengue]
- When module_name is not supplied, no packlist was being written; fixed
by guessing module_name from dist_version_from or the directory name
(just like ExtUtils::Manifest does without NAME) [David Golden]
- Failure to detect a compiler will now warn during Build.PL and be a
fatal error when trying to compile during Build. (RT#48918) [David
Golden]
- Auto-detection of abstract and author fixed for mixed-case POD headers
(RT#51117) [David Wheeler]
- resume() was not restoring additions to @INC added in Build.PL
(RT#50145) [David Golden]
- When tarball paths are less than 100 characters, disables 'prefix'
mode of Archive::Tar for maximum compatibility (RT#50571) [David Golden]
- Merging 'requires' and 'build_requires' in Module::Build::Compat could
lead to duplicate PREREQ_PM entries; now the highest version is used
for PREREQ_PM. (RT#50948) [David Golden]
- Module::Build::Compat will now die with an error if advanced,
non-numeric prerequisites are given, as these are not supported by
ExtUtils::MakeMaker in PREREQ_PM [David Golden]
