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
6 0.73 2011-04-16 nicholas
7 * Revert a bad assertion introduced in 0.72_50, which was logically wrong.
8 - and a test to demonstrate one case that would trigger it
10 0.72_52 2011-04-15 nicholas
11 * Add a test for the non-exceptional warnings.
13 0.72_51 2011-04-15 nicholas
14 * Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to improve performance under multiplicity
16 0.72_50 2011-04-14 nicholas
17 * Exception handling is totally MSVC specific, so only use it there
18 - this means that we don't need to use a C++ compiler anywhere
19 * Rework bit-vector tracking mechanism to use a 256-way tree. This avoids
20 making assumptions about 64-bit platforms' memory layouts, and eliminates
21 the fatal error introduced in 0.72 when the assumption was violated.
23 * Resolve CPAN #49437 (Devel::Size adds magic in Perl 5.10)
24 * Resolve CPAN #58484 and #58485 (related to CVs that are XSUBs)
26 0.72 2008-10-14 BrowserUk 70 tests
27 * Added bit-vector pointer tracking mechanism.
28 - new fatal error (64-bit platforms only)
29 * Added exception handling
30 - 4 new warnings (disabled by default)
31 * Updated POD to reflect above
32 * Added basic.t test 13
33 * replaced Module::Install with hand crafted EU::MM Makefile.pl
34 (With many thanks to Sisyphus)
35 because we couldn't work out how to add C++ options to allow
38 0.71 2008-08-24 Tels 69 tests
39 * adapt patch from Reini Urban to fix failing RV under 5.10 and 5.11. AV
40 and HV were pushed directly onto the pending_array, and not the RV,
41 which caused #33530. So he rewrote the logic to deref the RV inside
42 the array traversal. Applied this with one small omission, which
44 * Fixed 5.11 RV/IV logic. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
45 * Removed one duplicate total_size arrayref test. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
46 * changed //printf to dbg_printf() (Thanx Reini again!)
48 0.70 2008-08-23 Tels 69 tests
49 * fix SEGFAULTS under v5.10 (Thanx Reini Urban!)
50 * fix compilation under blead (Thanx Reini Urban!)
51 * require Perl 5.006 (to stop CPANTESTERS sending bogus reports
52 about failed compiling on ancient Perls)
53 * update the bundles Module::Install to v0.77
55 0.69 2007-08-11 Tels 69 tests
56 * fix compilation under Perl v5.9.5 and v5.10 (Thanx Steve Peters!)
57 * clarify the license by specifying Perl v5.8.8's license
58 * small doc fixes, add a README file
60 0.68 2007-06-12 Tels 69 tests
61 * remove a bit of duplicate code in op_size, the second instance
63 * fix the failing tests by rewriting the test logic to be sane
64 * the count of array slots was off by one
66 0.67 2007-03-15 Tels 20 tests
67 * rip out Build.PL since it doesn't actually work
68 * fix bug #1653: All SVPV subtype may contain an RV instead of a PV
69 (Thanx a lot Jan, and sorry for the truly horrible long delay!)
70 * fix bug #24846: Does not correctly recurse into references in PVNV
72 * add t/recurse.t that tests the two bugfixes in combination
74 0.66 2007-03-02 Tels 15 tests
75 * fix the failing test (the code was right, but the test wrong)
77 0.65 2007-02-24 Tels 15 tests
78 * fix the test failings under 64 bit (bugs #21037, #18596, #21404)
79 * fix wrong size for strings (bug #17586)
80 * reverse Changelog (bug #16636)
81 * Size.xs: remove unused variable "count"
82 * Size.xs: fix warnings about missing ()
83 * Size.xs: fix size of array refs when AvALLOC == 0
85 + maintained by me, signed with my key
86 + bundle Module::Install and use it
88 + rewrite tests to use Test::More; add more tests
