3 0.79_50 2015-02-28 nicholas
5 0.79 2013-05-12 nicholas
8 0.78_52 2013-05-10 nicholas
9 * Fix the bug in the previous fix. Oops :-)
11 0.78_51 2013-05-10 nicholas
12 * v5.17.1 and later handle CopSTASH differently under ithreads
14 0.78_50 2013-05-10 nicholas
15 * Alternative test for CvOUTSIDE, and one for CvPADLIST
16 * v5.17 changes the type of PADLIST [CPAN #83904]
17 * stubbed subs no longer have CvOUTSIDE set [CPAN #77913]
18 * Fix for v5.17.2's OP slab allocator [CPAN #83903]
19 * Spelling fix to docs from gregor herrmann [CPAN #78766]
21 0.78 2012-07-26 nicholas
24 0.77_51 2012-07-17 nicholas
25 * Fix for MSVC builds from bulk 88 [CPAN #77589]
27 0.77_50 2012-02-10 nicholas
28 * t/globs.t was failing on 5.15.6 and later due to side effects of a change
29 to strict.pm [CPAN #73998]
30 * skip tests in t/magic.t that use formline on 5.8.1 and 5.8.2, as those
31 versions have a buggy formline that can trigger an assertion failure.
33 0.77 2011-05-16 nicholas
36 0.76_50 2011-05-12 nicholas
37 * Split out HEK size calculation into hek_size(). Add the shared HE overhead.
38 * Handle shared hash key scalars correctly.
39 * GvNAME() is shared from 5.10 onwards.
40 * Count HvNAME(), the HV "aux" struct, the mro_meta struct, and ENAMEs.
42 0.76 2011-05-11 nicholas
43 * Just fix the version number in the line below.
45 0.75_52 2011-05-09 nicholas
46 * Use a table for SV body sizes. These incorporate the space saving post 5.8.x
47 * Correctly handle SvOOK scalars. 5.12 and later don't use SvIVX().
48 * Magic vtables aren't freed when magic is freed, so don't count them.
49 (They are static structures. Anything that assumes otherwise is buggy.)
50 * Reinstate 5.6.x "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
51 * Reinstate 5.005_xx "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
53 0.75_51 2011-05-05 nicholas
54 * Only use a static array of vtables on gcc.
56 0.75_50 2011-05-04 nicholas
57 * The core's magic vtables are global constants, so aren't part of the size.
58 * Follow mg_obj and mg_ptr.
60 0.75 2011-05-04 nicholas
63 0.74_53 2011-05-01 nicholas
64 * Fix typo error in bit-vector tracking mechanism. On 64 bit platforms which
65 allocate on 8 byte alignment (rather than 16), a low pointer bit could get
66 lost, resulting in new pointers being considered already "seen".
67 "Found" by BinGOs' smoker, fixed on spectre.mongueurs.net. Thanks.
69 0.74_52 2011-04-23 nicholas
70 * Fix potential SEGVs for OP_AELEMFAST on a lexical (eg $foo[3])
71 * Fix likely SEGVs for PVOPs (missing break)
72 * Fix potential SEGVs for PVBMs on 5.10 and later
73 * Move hash and array traversal from total_size() to sv_size()
74 - this allows total_size() and size() to be XS ALIASes.
76 0.74_51 2011-04-22 nicholas
77 * Don't count PL_sv_{undef,no,yes} in the size returned
78 * total_size() was double-counting entries in typeglobs
79 * sv_size() was double-counting the PVGV size if GvEGV() looped back
80 * fix classic off-by-one error - the answer is strlen() + 1, not just strlen()
82 0.74_50 2011-04-19 nicholas
83 * Ensure that size() doesn't add the referent's size for non SVt_RV references
85 0.74 2011-04-19 nicholas
86 * Correct the Makefile.PL - LICENSE was added to ExtUtils::MakeMaker in 6.31
88 0.73_51 2011-04-17 nicholas
89 * Refactor the C code to accumulate the size inside the tracking structure
90 - this means that the C *_size() functions now return void
91 - The XS functions size() and total_size() now return UV, not IV
93 0.73_50 2011-04-17 nicholas
94 * Avoid using assert() on ithreaded 5.8.8 and earlier, as it needs my_perl
95 * Fix the test added in 0.73, as it tripped over a combination of bugs
97 0.73 2011-04-16 nicholas
98 * Revert a bad assertion introduced in 0.72_50, which was logically wrong.
99 - and a test to demonstrate one case that would trigger it
101 0.72_52 2011-04-15 nicholas
102 * Add a test for the non-exceptional warnings.
104 0.72_51 2011-04-15 nicholas
105 * Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to improve performance under multiplicity
107 0.72_50 2011-04-14 nicholas
108 * Exception handling is totally MSVC specific, so only use it there
109 - this means that we don't need to use a C++ compiler anywhere
110 * Rework bit-vector tracking mechanism to use a 256-way tree. This avoids
111 making assumptions about 64-bit platforms' memory layouts, and eliminates
112 the fatal error introduced in 0.72 when the assumption was violated.
113 * Convert to XSLoader
114 * Resolve CPAN #49437 (Devel::Size adds magic in Perl 5.10)
115 * Resolve CPAN #58484 and #58485 (related to CVs that are XSUBs)
117 0.72 2008-10-14 BrowserUk 70 tests
118 * Added bit-vector pointer tracking mechanism.
119 - new fatal error (64-bit platforms only)
120 * Added exception handling
121 - 4 new warnings (disabled by default)
122 * Updated POD to reflect above
123 * Added basic.t test 13
124 * replaced Module::Install with hand crafted EU::MM Makefile.pl
125 (With many thanks to Sisyphus)
126 because we couldn't work out how to add C++ options to allow
129 0.71 2008-08-24 Tels 69 tests
130 * adapt patch from Reini Urban to fix failing RV under 5.10 and 5.11. AV
131 and HV were pushed directly onto the pending_array, and not the RV,
132 which caused #33530. So he rewrote the logic to deref the RV inside
133 the array traversal. Applied this with one small omission, which
135 * Fixed 5.11 RV/IV logic. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
136 * Removed one duplicate total_size arrayref test. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
137 * changed //printf to dbg_printf() (Thanx Reini again!)
139 0.70 2008-08-23 Tels 69 tests
140 * fix SEGFAULTS under v5.10 (Thanx Reini Urban!)
141 * fix compilation under blead (Thanx Reini Urban!)
142 * require Perl 5.006 (to stop CPANTESTERS sending bogus reports
143 about failed compiling on ancient Perls)
144 * update the bundles Module::Install to v0.77
146 0.69 2007-08-11 Tels 69 tests
147 * fix compilation under Perl v5.9.5 and v5.10 (Thanx Steve Peters!)
148 * clarify the license by specifying Perl v5.8.8's license
149 * small doc fixes, add a README file
151 0.68 2007-06-12 Tels 69 tests
152 * remove a bit of duplicate code in op_size, the second instance
154 * fix the failing tests by rewriting the test logic to be sane
155 * the count of array slots was off by one
157 0.67 2007-03-15 Tels 20 tests
158 * rip out Build.PL since it doesn't actually work
159 * fix bug #1653: All SVPV subtype may contain an RV instead of a PV
160 (Thanx a lot Jan, and sorry for the truly horrible long delay!)
161 * fix bug #24846: Does not correctly recurse into references in PVNV
163 * add t/recurse.t that tests the two bugfixes in combination
165 0.66 2007-03-02 Tels 15 tests
166 * fix the failing test (the code was right, but the test wrong)
168 0.65 2007-02-24 Tels 15 tests
169 * fix the test failings under 64 bit (bugs #21037, #18596, #21404)
170 * fix wrong size for strings (bug #17586)
171 * reverse Changelog (bug #16636)
172 * Size.xs: remove unused variable "count"
173 * Size.xs: fix warnings about missing ()
174 * Size.xs: fix size of array refs when AvALLOC == 0
176 + maintained by me, signed with my key
177 + bundle Module::Install and use it
179 + rewrite tests to use Test::More; add more tests

208 of Marcus Holland-Moritz <mhx-perl@gmx.net>)

220 - Added in tests from Ken Williams
