1 Revision history for Perl extension Devel::Size.
3 0.73_50 2011-04-17 nicholas
4 * Avoid using assert() on ithreaded 5.8.8 and earlier, as it needs my_perl
5 * Fix the test added in 0.73, as it tripped over a combination of bugs
7 0.73 2011-04-16 nicholas
8 * Revert a bad assertion introduced in 0.72_50, which was logically wrong.
9 - and a test to demonstrate one case that would trigger it
11 0.72_52 2011-04-15 nicholas
12 * Add a test for the non-exceptional warnings.
14 0.72_51 2011-04-15 nicholas
15 * Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to improve performance under multiplicity
17 0.72_50 2011-04-14 nicholas
18 * Exception handling is totally MSVC specific, so only use it there
19 - this means that we don't need to use a C++ compiler anywhere
20 * Rework bit-vector tracking mechanism to use a 256-way tree. This avoids
21 making assumptions about 64-bit platforms' memory layouts, and eliminates
22 the fatal error introduced in 0.72 when the assumption was violated.
24 * Resolve CPAN #49437 (Devel::Size adds magic in Perl 5.10)
25 * Resolve CPAN #58484 and #58485 (related to CVs that are XSUBs)
27 0.72 2008-10-14 BrowserUk 70 tests
28 * Added bit-vector pointer tracking mechanism.
29 - new fatal error (64-bit platforms only)
30 * Added exception handling
31 - 4 new warnings (disabled by default)
32 * Updated POD to reflect above
33 * Added basic.t test 13
34 * replaced Module::Install with hand crafted EU::MM Makefile.pl
35 (With many thanks to Sisyphus)
36 because we couldn't work out how to add C++ options to allow
39 0.71 2008-08-24 Tels 69 tests
40 * adapt patch from Reini Urban to fix failing RV under 5.10 and 5.11. AV
41 and HV were pushed directly onto the pending_array, and not the RV,
42 which caused #33530. So he rewrote the logic to deref the RV inside
43 the array traversal. Applied this with one small omission, which
45 * Fixed 5.11 RV/IV logic. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
46 * Removed one duplicate total_size arrayref test. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
47 * changed //printf to dbg_printf() (Thanx Reini again!)
49 0.70 2008-08-23 Tels 69 tests
50 * fix SEGFAULTS under v5.10 (Thanx Reini Urban!)
51 * fix compilation under blead (Thanx Reini Urban!)
52 * require Perl 5.006 (to stop CPANTESTERS sending bogus reports
53 about failed compiling on ancient Perls)
54 * update the bundles Module::Install to v0.77
56 0.69 2007-08-11 Tels 69 tests
57 * fix compilation under Perl v5.9.5 and v5.10 (Thanx Steve Peters!)
58 * clarify the license by specifying Perl v5.8.8's license
59 * small doc fixes, add a README file
61 0.68 2007-06-12 Tels 69 tests
62 * remove a bit of duplicate code in op_size, the second instance
64 * fix the failing tests by rewriting the test logic to be sane
65 * the count of array slots was off by one
67 0.67 2007-03-15 Tels 20 tests
68 * rip out Build.PL since it doesn't actually work
69 * fix bug #1653: All SVPV subtype may contain an RV instead of a PV
70 (Thanx a lot Jan, and sorry for the truly horrible long delay!)
71 * fix bug #24846: Does not correctly recurse into references in PVNV
73 * add t/recurse.t that tests the two bugfixes in combination
75 0.66 2007-03-02 Tels 15 tests
76 * fix the failing test (the code was right, but the test wrong)
78 0.65 2007-02-24 Tels 15 tests
79 * fix the test failings under 64 bit (bugs #21037, #18596, #21404)
80 * fix wrong size for strings (bug #17586)
81 * reverse Changelog (bug #16636)
82 * Size.xs: remove unused variable "count"
83 * Size.xs: fix warnings about missing ()
84 * Size.xs: fix size of array refs when AvALLOC == 0
86 + maintained by me, signed with my key
87 + bundle Module::Install and use it
89 + rewrite tests to use Test::More; add more tests
