A few .t's are delivered here which use the new conversion functions in

does simplify those tests.

14 years agoAdd functions to test.pl for easier EBCDIC testing
Karl Williamson [Mon, 24 May 2010 16:50:13 +0000]
Add functions to test.pl for easier EBCDIC testing

This patch adds functions native_to_latin1($) and latin1_to_native($) to
test.pl.  Use of these in test scripts allows for less special case code
(or deciding to blow it off and just skip EBCDIC platforms).  If a
string is all ASCII, one has always been able to just use it and not
worry about EBCDIC.  But non-ASCII, latin1 characters have been a
different matter.  This allows one to wrap those characters in a
function call and get automatic EBCDIC compatibility.

The functions do not handle UTF-8/UTF-EBCDIC conversions.  This is more
complicated, and I was worried that that part was not appropriate for
test.pl which should use the bare minimum of Perl functionality.  These
functions use tr///, beyond what other parts of test.pl use.

David Mitchell [Tue, 25 May 2010 10:38:35 +0000]
add OPpDEREFed flag to avoid double mg_get()

    The previous commit made various ops such as rv2av unconditionally do
    an SvGETMAGIC(). Under some circumstances this could cause a double
    mg_get() (and hence double FETCH etc). In particular, when the
    proceeding op was something like aelem with OPpDEREF, the aelem would
    call vivify_ref(), which would call magic. So in peep(), mark
    OP_RV2[SAH]V ops with the new OPpDEREFed flag if the preceding op was
    OPpDEREF. Then use this flag to avoid a second dose of magic.

    Note that RV2GV probably needs this flag too, but there weren't any
    spare private flag bits left for that op (I think).

14 years agoReplace wrong tr/// table in perlebcdic.pod
Karl Williamson [Tue, 18 May 2010 14:43:31 +0000]
Replace wrong tr/// table in perlebcdic.pod

perlebcdic.pod contains a helpful table to use in tr/// to convert
between EBCDIC and Latin1/ASCII.  Unfortunately, the table is the
inverse of the one it describes, as I discovered in following the
directions on how it was extracted.

The actual code that uses the table uses it in the inverse way, so it
actually works correctly, but if you follow the instructions to get the
tables corresponding to the other recognized code pages, you will get
the inverse of the ones you wanted, and things won't work out.

This patch changes the table to its inverse, and changes the sample code
to correspond, as this is easier for the person trying to follow the
instructions since deriving the old table is somewhat more complicated.

I also changed the table to hex from octal, as that is more the norm
these days, and I changed to recipes in the pod to print out leading
zeros to make all the values the same length, as the table that they can
generate has them.

Nicholas Clark [Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:12:03 +0000]
When deleting CLONE_PARAMS, push any unreferenced SVs onto the temps stack.

Effectively this leaves the cloned-into interpreter in a consistent state.
In the cloned-from interpreter, the SV targets of non-reference owning pointers
*are* referenced and managed by other pointers. SvREFCNT() == 0 SVs in the
cloned-into interpreter result from the non-reference owning pointers being
found and followed, but the reference owning and managing pointers not being
part of the subsection of interpreter state cloned over. Hence, this change
creates reference owning pointers to this SVs on the temps stack, which ensures
that they are correctly cleaned up, and don't "leak" until interpreter
destruction. (Which might be some time away, in a persistent process.)

have a 0 reference count at the end of cloning, assign a reference to each to
the temps stack. As the temps stack is cleared at thread exit, SVs book keeping

14 years agofollowup to magic/overload fix

followup to magic/overload fix

6f1401dc2acd2a2b85df22b0a74e5f7e6e0a33aa was over-enthusiastic
on removing redundant code in the comparison ops. This code was only used
on 64-bit #ifdef branches which is why I failed to spot it earlier.
So restore that code!

14 years agomake overload respect get magic
David Mitchell [Fri, 21 May 2010 13:18:21 +0000]
make overload respect get magic

In most places, ops checked their args for overload *before* doing
mg_get(). This meant that, among other issues, tied vars that
returned overloaded objects wouldn't trigger calling the
overloaded method.  (Actually, for tied and arrays and hashes, it
still often would since mg_get gets called beforehand in rvalue
context).

This patch does the following:

Makes sure get magic is called first.

Moves most of the overload code formerly included by macros at the
start of each pp function into the separate helper functions
Perl_try_amagic_bin, Perl_try_amagic_un, S_try_amagic_ftest,
with 3 new wrapper macros:
tryAMAGICbin_MG, tryAMAGICun_MG, tryAMAGICftest_MG.
This made the code 3800 bytes smaller.

Makes sure that FETCH is not called multiple times. Much of this
bit was helped by some earlier work from Father Chrysostomos.

Added new functions and macros sv_inc_nomg(), sv_dec_nomg(),
dPOPnv_nomg, dPOPXiirl_ul_nomg, dPOPTOPnnrl_nomg, dPOPTOPiirl_ul_nomg
dPOPTOPiirl_nomg, SvIV_please_nomg, SvNV_nomg (again, some of
these were based on Father Chrysostomos's work).

Fixed the list version of the repeat operator (x): it now only
calls overloaded methods for the scalar version:
    (1,2,$overloaded) x 10
no longer erroneously calls
    x_method($overloaded,10))

The only thing I haven't checked/fixed yet is overloading the
iterator operator, <>.

OPs relating to the package name and version were subject to double

Remove redundant hv_exists() calls from ithread_create()'s spec parser.

hv_fetch(..., 0) won't create the element if it doesn't exist, returning a NULL
pointer, so hv_exists() and hv_fetch() is doing two hash lookups where one would
suffice.

On this machine, reduces the object code by 3K, about 7%. Everyone's a winner.

In sv.c, _all_ {new,del}_X* macros can be *_body_allocated.

Previously those where bodies_by_type[sv_type].offset was zero were using
{new,del}_body_typed. However, the optimiser can spot this, and generates the
same object code. This allows simplification of the C code, and more
flexibility to rearrange the structures without generating bugs.
