1 Revision history for Perl extension Devel::Size.
3 0.79_50 2015-02-28 nicholas
5 * wrong test for magicalness [CPAN #88180]
6 * reading tied scalar shrinks it [CPAN #88182]
8 0.79 2013-05-12 nicholas
11 0.78_52 2013-05-10 nicholas
12 * Fix the bug in the previous fix. Oops :-)
14 0.78_51 2013-05-10 nicholas
15 * v5.17.1 and later handle CopSTASH differently under ithreads
17 0.78_50 2013-05-10 nicholas
18 * Alternative test for CvOUTSIDE, and one for CvPADLIST
19 * v5.17 changes the type of PADLIST [CPAN #83904]
20 * stubbed subs no longer have CvOUTSIDE set [CPAN #77913]
21 * Fix for v5.17.2's OP slab allocator [CPAN #83903]
22 * Spelling fix to docs from gregor herrmann [CPAN #78766]
24 0.78 2012-07-26 nicholas
27 0.77_51 2012-07-17 nicholas
28 * Fix for MSVC builds from bulk 88 [CPAN #77589]
30 0.77_50 2012-02-10 nicholas
31 * t/globs.t was failing on 5.15.6 and later due to side effects of a change
32 to strict.pm [CPAN #73998]
33 * skip tests in t/magic.t that use formline on 5.8.1 and 5.8.2, as those
34 versions have a buggy formline that can trigger an assertion failure.
36 0.77 2011-05-16 nicholas
39 0.76_50 2011-05-12 nicholas
40 * Split out HEK size calculation into hek_size(). Add the shared HE overhead.
41 * Handle shared hash key scalars correctly.
42 * GvNAME() is shared from 5.10 onwards.
43 * Count HvNAME(), the HV "aux" struct, the mro_meta struct, and ENAMEs.
45 0.76 2011-05-11 nicholas
46 * Just fix the version number in the line below.
48 0.75_52 2011-05-09 nicholas
49 * Use a table for SV body sizes. These incorporate the space saving post 5.8.x
50 * Correctly handle SvOOK scalars. 5.12 and later don't use SvIVX().
51 * Magic vtables aren't freed when magic is freed, so don't count them.
52 (They are static structures. Anything that assumes otherwise is buggy.)
53 * Reinstate 5.6.x "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
54 * Reinstate 5.005_xx "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
56 0.75_51 2011-05-05 nicholas
57 * Only use a static array of vtables on gcc.
59 0.75_50 2011-05-04 nicholas
60 * The core's magic vtables are global constants, so aren't part of the size.
61 * Follow mg_obj and mg_ptr.
63 0.75 2011-05-04 nicholas
66 0.74_53 2011-05-01 nicholas
67 * Fix typo error in bit-vector tracking mechanism. On 64 bit platforms which
68 allocate on 8 byte alignment (rather than 16), a low pointer bit could get
69 lost, resulting in new pointers being considered already "seen".
70 "Found" by BinGOs' smoker, fixed on spectre.mongueurs.net. Thanks.
72 0.74_52 2011-04-23 nicholas
73 * Fix potential SEGVs for OP_AELEMFAST on a lexical (eg $foo[3])
74 * Fix likely SEGVs for PVOPs (missing break)
75 * Fix potential SEGVs for PVBMs on 5.10 and later
76 * Move hash and array traversal from total_size() to sv_size()
77 - this allows total_size() and size() to be XS ALIASes.
79 0.74_51 2011-04-22 nicholas
80 * Don't count PL_sv_{undef,no,yes} in the size returned
81 * total_size() was double-counting entries in typeglobs
82 * sv_size() was double-counting the PVGV size if GvEGV() looped back
83 * fix classic off-by-one error - the answer is strlen() + 1, not just strlen()
85 0.74_50 2011-04-19 nicholas
86 * Ensure that size() doesn't add the referent's size for non SVt_RV references
88 0.74 2011-04-19 nicholas
89 * Correct the Makefile.PL - LICENSE was added to ExtUtils::MakeMaker in 6.31
91 0.73_51 2011-04-17 nicholas
92 * Refactor the C code to accumulate the size inside the tracking structure
93 - this means that the C *_size() functions now return void
94 - The XS functions size() and total_size() now return UV, not IV
96 0.73_50 2011-04-17 nicholas
97 * Avoid using assert() on ithreaded 5.8.8 and earlier, as it needs my_perl
98 * Fix the test added in 0.73, as it tripped over a combination of bugs
100 0.73 2011-04-16 nicholas
101 * Revert a bad assertion introduced in 0.72_50, which was logically wrong.
102 - and a test to demonstrate one case that would trigger it
104 0.72_52 2011-04-15 nicholas
105 * Add a test for the non-exceptional warnings.
107 0.72_51 2011-04-15 nicholas
108 * Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to improve performance under multiplicity
110 0.72_50 2011-04-14 nicholas
111 * Exception handling is totally MSVC specific, so only use it there
112 - this means that we don't need to use a C++ compiler anywhere
113 * Rework bit-vector tracking mechanism to use a 256-way tree. This avoids
114 making assumptions about 64-bit platforms' memory layouts, and eliminates
115 the fatal error introduced in 0.72 when the assumption was violated.
116 * Convert to XSLoader
117 * Resolve CPAN #49437 (Devel::Size adds magic in Perl 5.10)
118 * Resolve CPAN #58484 and #58485 (related to CVs that are XSUBs)
120 0.72 2008-10-14 BrowserUk 70 tests
121 * Added bit-vector pointer tracking mechanism.
122 - new fatal error (64-bit platforms only)
123 * Added exception handling
124 - 4 new warnings (disabled by default)
125 * Updated POD to reflect above
126 * Added basic.t test 13
127 * replaced Module::Install with hand crafted EU::MM Makefile.pl
128 (With many thanks to Sisyphus)
129 because we couldn't work out how to add C++ options to allow
132 0.71 2008-08-24 Tels 69 tests
133 * adapt patch from Reini Urban to fix failing RV under 5.10 and 5.11. AV
134 and HV were pushed directly onto the pending_array, and not the RV,
135 which caused #33530. So he rewrote the logic to deref the RV inside
136 the array traversal. Applied this with one small omission, which
138 * Fixed 5.11 RV/IV logic. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
139 * Removed one duplicate total_size arrayref test. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
140 * changed //printf to dbg_printf() (Thanx Reini again!)
142 0.70 2008-08-23 Tels 69 tests
143 * fix SEGFAULTS under v5.10 (Thanx Reini Urban!)
144 * fix compilation under blead (Thanx Reini Urban!)
145 * require Perl 5.006 (to stop CPANTESTERS sending bogus reports
146 about failed compiling on ancient Perls)
147 * update the bundles Module::Install to v0.77
149 0.69 2007-08-11 Tels 69 tests
150 * fix compilation under Perl v5.9.5 and v5.10 (Thanx Steve Peters!)
151 * clarify the license by specifying Perl v5.8.8's license
152 * small doc fixes, add a README file
154 0.68 2007-06-12 Tels 69 tests
155 * remove a bit of duplicate code in op_size, the second instance
157 * fix the failing tests by rewriting the test logic to be sane
158 * the count of array slots was off by one
160 0.67 2007-03-15 Tels 20 tests
161 * rip out Build.PL since it doesn't actually work
162 * fix bug #1653: All SVPV subtype may contain an RV instead of a PV
163 (Thanx a lot Jan, and sorry for the truly horrible long delay!)
164 * fix bug #24846: Does not correctly recurse into references in PVNV
166 * add t/recurse.t that tests the two bugfixes in combination
168 0.66 2007-03-02 Tels 15 tests
169 * fix the failing test (the code was right, but the test wrong)
171 0.65 2007-02-24 Tels 15 tests
172 * fix the test failings under 64 bit (bugs #21037, #18596, #21404)
173 * fix wrong size for strings (bug #17586)
174 * reverse Changelog (bug #16636)
175 * Size.xs: remove unused variable "count"
176 * Size.xs: fix warnings about missing ()
177 * Size.xs: fix size of array refs when AvALLOC == 0
179 + maintained by me, signed with my key
180 + bundle Module::Install and use it
182 + rewrite tests to use Test::More; add more tests

189 0.63 Thu Jun 30 14:29:43 2005
190 - Turns out that OP_TRANS is a basic op, not a loop op. This

208 0.58 Fri Jul 18 11:42:32 2003
209 - Fix for problems triggered by perl 5.8.0 and up, more tests, and
210 removal of an "our" for better backwards compatibility. (Courtesy
211 of Marcus Holland-Moritz <mhx-perl@gmx.net>)
213 0.57 Thu Mar 20 13:21:14 2003

219 0.55 Sat Feb 22 17:21:00 2003
220 - Fixed a bad size calculation (we were overestimating by one byte)
221 - Updated the docs to show some of the places that there might be 'dark'
222 memory that Devel::Size can't see.
223 - Added in tests from Ken Williams
225 0.54 Sat Oct 12 14:11:00 2002
