Description:
Well, I didn't quite fix 100 things--only 94. There are still
some other things to do, so don't think if I didn't fix your
favorite bug that your bug report is in the bit bucket. (It
may be, but don't think it. :-)
There are very few enhancements here. One is the new pipe()
function. There was just no way to emulate this using the
current operations, unless you happened to have socketpair()
on your system. Not even syscall() was useful in this respect.
Configure now determines whether volatile is supported, since
some compilers implement volatile but don't define __STDC__.
Some compilers can put structure members and global variables
into registers, so more variables had to be declared volatile
to avoid clobbering during longjmp().
Some systems have wanted routines stashed away in libBSD.a and
libPW.a. Configure can now find them.
A number of Configure tests create a file called "try" and then
execute it. Unfortunately, if there was a "try" elsewhere in PATH
it got that one instead. All references are now to "./try".
On Ultrix machines running the Mips cpu, some header files define
things differently for assembly language than for the C language.
To differentiate these, cc passes a -DLANGUAGE_C to the C preprocessor.
Unfortunately, Configure, makedepend and perl want to use the
preprocessor independently of cc. Configure now defaults to
adding -DLANGUAGE_C on machines containing that symbol in signal.h.
In Configure, some libraries were getting into the list more than
once, causing extra extraction overhead. The names are now
uniquified.
Someone has invented yet another output format for nm. Sigh.
Why do people assume that only people read the output of programs?
Due to commentary between a declaration and its semicolon, some
standard versions of stdio weren't being considered standard, and the
type of char used by stdio was being misidentified.
People trying to use bison instead of yacc ran into two problems.
One, lack of alloca(), is solved on some machines by finding libPW.a.
The other is that you have to supply a -y switch to bison to get
it to emulate yacc naming conventions. Configure now prompts
correctly for bison -y.
The make clean had a rm -f $suidperl where it just wanted
a rm -f suidperl
In the README, documented more weirdities on various machines,
including a pointer to the JMPCLOBBER symbol.
In the construct
OUTER: foreach (1,2,3) {
INNER: foreach (4,5) {
...
next OUTER;
}
}
the inner loop was not getting reset to the first element. This
was one of those bugs that arise because longjmp() doesn't
execute exit handlers as it unwinds the stack.
Perl reallocs many things as they grow, including the stack (its
stack, not the C program's stack). This means that routines
have to be careful to retreive the new stack when they call
subroutines that can do such a realloc. In cmd.c there was
such code but it was hidden inside an #ifdef JMPCLOBBER that
it should have been outside of, so you could get bad return
values of JMPCLOBBER wasn't defined. If you defined JMPCLOBBER
to work around this problem, you should consider undefining
it if your compiler guarantees that register variables get the value
they had either at setjmp() or longjmp() time. Perl runs
slightly faster without JMPCLOBBER defined.
The longjmp()s that perl does return known values, but as a
paranoid programming measure, it now checks that the values
are one of the expected ones.
If you say something like
while (s/ /_/) {}
the substitution almost always succeeds (on normal text). There
is an optimization that quickly discovers and bypasses operations
that are going to fail, but does nothing to help generally successful
ones such as the one above. So there's a heuristic that disables
the optimization if it isn't buying us anything. Unfortunately,
in the above case, it's in the conditional of a while loop,
which is duplicated by another optimization to be a
last unless s/ /_/;
at the end of the loop, to avoid unnecessary subroutine calls.
Because the conditional was duplicated (not the expression itself,
just the structure pointing to it), the heuristic mentioned above
tried to disable the first optimization twice, resulting in the
label stack getting corrupted.
Some subroutines which mix both return mechanisms like this:
sub foo {
local($foo);
return $foo if $whatever;
$foo;
}
This clobbered the return value of $foo when the end of the scope
of the local($foo) was reached. This was because such a routine
turns into something like this internally:
sub foo {
_SUB_: {
local($foo);
if ($whatever) {
$foo; last _SUB_;
}
$foo;
}
}
Because the outer _SUB_ block was manufactured by non-standard
means, it wasn't getting marked as an expression that could
return a value, ie a terminal expression. So the return value
wasn't getting properly saved off to the side before the local()
exited.
The internal label on subroutine blocks used to be SUB, but I
changed it to _SUB_ to avoid possible confusion. Evals now have
labels too, so they are labelled with _EVAL_. The reason evals
now have a label is that nested evals need separate longjmp
environments, or fatal errors end up getting a longjmp() botch.
So eval now uses the same label stack as loops and subroutines.
The eval routine used to always return undef on failure. In an
array context, however, this makes a non-null array, which when
assigned is TRUE, which is counter-intuitive. It now returns
a null array upon failure in an array context.
When a foreach operator works on a non-array, the compiler translates
foreach (1,2,3) {
into something like
@_GEN_0 = (1,2,3); foreach (@_GEN_0) {
Unfortunately, the line number was not correctly propagated to both
command structures, so huge line numbers could appear in error
messages and while debugging.
The x operator was stupidly written, just calling the internal
routine str_scat() multiple times, and not preextending the
string to the known new length. It now preextends the string
and calls a special routine to replicate the string quickly.
On long strings like '\0' x 1024, the operator is more than
10 times faster.
The split operator is supposed to split into @_ if called in
a scalar context. Unfortunately, it was also splitting into @_
in an array context that wasn't a real array, such as assignment
to a list:
($foo,$bar) = split;
This has now been fixed.
The split and substitute operators have a check to make sure
that it isn't looping endlessly. Unfortunate, they had a hardwired
limit of 10000 iterations. There are applications conceivable
where you could work on longer values than that, so they
now calculate a reasonable limit based on the length of the arguments.
Pack and unpack called atoi all the time on the template fields.
Since there are usually at most one or two digits of number,
this wasted a lot of time on machines with slow subroutine calls.
It now picks up the number itself.
There were several places that casts could blow up. In particular,
it appears that a sun3 can't cast a negative float to an unsigned
integer. Appropriate measure have been taken--hopefully this
won't blow someone else up.
A local($.) didn't work right because the actual value of the
current line number is derived from the last input filehandle.
This has been fixed by causing the last input filehandle to
be restored after the scope of a local($.) to what it was when
the local was executed.
Assignment is supposed to return the final value of the left
hand side. In the case of array assignment (in an array context),
it was actually returning the right hand side. This showed up in
things that referred to the actual elements of an array value,
such as grep(s/foo/bar/, @abc = @xyz), which modified @xyz rather
than @abc.
The syscall() function was returning a garbage value (the index of
the top of the stack, actually) rather than value of system call.
There was some discussion about how to open files with arbitrary
characters in the filename. In particular, the open function strips
trailing spaces. There was no way to suppress this. Now you can
put an explicit null at the end of the string
open(FOO,"$filename\0")
and this will hide any spaces on the end of the filename. The Unix
open() function will of course treat the null as the trailing delimiter.
As a hangover from when Perl was not useful on binary files, there
was a check to make sure that the file being opened was a normal
file or character special file or socket. Now that Perl can
handle binary data, this is useless, and has been removed.
Some versions of utime.h have microseconds specified as acusec and
modusec. Perl was referring to these in order to zero out the
fields. But not everyone has these. Perl now just bzero's out
the structure and refers only to fields that everyone has.
You used to have to say
($foo) = unpack("L",$bar);
Now you can say
$foo = unpack("L",$bar);
and it will just unpack the first thing specified by the template;
The subscripts for slices were ignoring the value of $[. (This
never made any difference for people who leave $[ set to 0.)
It seems reasonable that grep in a scalar context should return the
number of items matched so that it can be used in, say, a conditional.
Formerly it returned an undef.
Another problem with grep was that if you said something like
grep(/$1/, @foo)
then each iteration of grep was executing in the context of the
previous iteration's regexp, so $1 might be wiped out after the
first iteration. All iterations of grep now operate in the regexp
context of the grep operator itself.
The eg/README file now explicity states that the examples in
the eg directory are to be considered in the Public Domain, and
thus do not have the same restrictions as the Perl source.
In a previous patch the shift operator was made to shift @_ inside
of subroutines. This made some of the getopt code wrong.
The sample rename command (and the new relink command) can either
take a list of filenames from stdin, or if stdin is a terminal,
default to a * in the current directory.
A sample travesty program is now included. If you want to know what
it does, feed it about 10 Usenet articles, or the perl manual, and
see what it prints out.
If a return operator was embedded in an expression that supplied
a scalar context, but the subroutine containing the return was
called in an array context, an array was not returned correctly.
Now it is.
The !~ operator used to ignore the negation in an array context and
do the same thing as =~. It now always returns scalar even in
array context, so if you say
($foo) = ($bar !~ /(pat)/)
$foo will get a value of either 1 or ''.
Opens on pipes were defined to return the child's pid in the parent,
and FALSE in the child. Unfortunately, what the child actually
got was an undef, making it indistinguishable from a failure to
open the pipe successfully. The child now gets a 0, and undef
means a failure to fork a child.
Formerly, @array in a scalar context returned the last value of
the array, by analogy to the comma operator. This makes for
counter-intuitive results when you say
if (@array)
if 0 or '' is a legal array value. @array now returns the length
of the array (not the subscript of the last element, which is @#array).
To get the last element of the array you must either pop(@array) or
refer to $array[$#array].
The chdir operator with no argument was supposed to change directory
to your home directory, but it core dumped instead.
The wait operator was ignoring SIGINT and SIGQUIT, by analogy to
the system and pipe operations. But wait is a lower level operation,
and it gives you more freedom if those signals aren't automatically
ignored. If you want them ignored, you now have to explicitly
ignore them by setting the proper %SIG entry.
Different versions of /bin/mkdir and /bin/rmdir return different
messages upon failure. Perl now knows about more of them.
-l FILEHANDLE now disallowed
The use of the -l file test makes no sense on a filehandle, since
you can't open symbolic links. So -l FILEHANDLE now is a fatal
error. This also means you can't say -l _, which is also a
useless operation.
The heavy wizardry involved in saying $#foo -= 2 didn't work quite
right.
In formats, you can say ... in a ^ field to have ... output when
there is more for that field that is getting truncated. The
next field was getting shifted over by three characters, however.
The perl library routines abbrev.pl, complete.pl, getopt.pl and
getopts.pl were assuming $[ == 0. The Getopt routine wasn't
returning an error on unrecognized switches. The look.pl routine
had never been tested, and didn't work at all. Now it does.
There were several difficulties in termcap.pl. Togoto was documented
backwards for $rows and $cols. The Tgetent routine could loop
endlessly if there was a tc entry. And it didn't interpret the ^x
form of specifying control characters right because of base
treachery (031 instead of 31). There were also problems with
using @_ as a temporary array.
In perl.h, the unused VREG symbol was deleted because it conflicted
with somebody's header files.
If perl detects a #! line that specifies some other interpreter
than perl, it will now start up that interpreter for you. This
let's you specify a SHELL of perl to some programs.
The $/ variable specifies the input record separator. It was
possible to set it to a non-text character and read in an entire
text file as one input, but it wasn't possible to do that
for a binary file. Now you can undef $/, and there will be
no record separator, so you are guaranteed to get the entire
file with one <>.
The example in the manual of an open() inside a ?: had the
branches of the ?: backwards. I documented the fact that
grep can modify arrays in place (with caveats about modifying
literal values). I also put in how to deal with filenames
that might have arbitrary characters, and mentioned about the
problem of unflushed buffers on opens that cause forks.
It's now documented how to force top of page before the next write.
Formerly, $0 was guaranteed to contain the name of the perl script
only till the first regular expression was executed. It now
keeps that value permanently. $0 can no longer be used as a synonym
for $&.
The regular expression evaluator didn't handle character classes
with the 8th bit set. None of /[\200-\377]/, \d, \w or \s worked
right--the character class because signed characters were not
interpreted right, and the builtins because the isdigit(), isalpha()
and isspace() macros are only defined if isascii() is true.
Patterns of the form /\bfoo/i didn't work right because the \b
wants to compare the preceding character with the next one
to look for word boundaries, and the i modifier forced a move
of the string to a place where it couldn't do that without
examining malloc garbage.
The type glob syntax *foo produces the symbol table entry for
all the various foo variables. Perl has to do certain bookkeeping
when moving such values around. The symbol table entry was not
adequately differentiated from normal data to prevent occasion
confusion, however.
On MICROPORTs, the CRIPPLED_CC option made the stab_array()
and stab_hash() macros into function calls, but neglected to
supply the function definitions.
The string length allocated to turn a number into a string
internally turned out to be too short on a Sun 4.
Several constructs were not recognized properly inside double-quoted
strings:
"@foo_bar" underline in name
"$foo{}" required @foo to be defined rather than %foo
"$foo[$[]" threw off bracket matcher
"${1}" not identified with $1
The base.term test gives misleading results if /dev/null happens
not to be a character special file. So it now checks for that.
The op.stat could exceed the shell's maximum argument length
when evaluating </usr/bin/*>. It now chdirs to /usr/bin and does <*>.
return grandfathered to never be function call
The construct
return (1,2,3);
did not do what was expected, since return was swallowing the
parens in order to consider itself a function. The solution,
since return never wants any trailing expression such as
return (1,2,3) + 2;
is to simply make return an exception to the paren-makes-a-function
rule, and treat it the way it always was, so that it doesn't
strip the parens.
If perldb.pl doesn't exist, there was no reasonable error message
given when you invoke perl -d. It now does a do-or-die internally.
null hereis core dumped
The hereis construct dumped core on a null string:
print <<'FOO';
FOO
Certain pattern matches weren't working on patterns with embedded
nulls because the fbminstr() routine, when it decided it couldn't
do a fancy search, degenerated to using instr(), rather than
ninstr(), which is better about embedded nulls.
The s2p sed-to-perl translator didn't translate \< and \> to \b.
Now it does.
The a2p awk-to-perl translator didn't put a $ on ExitValue when
translating the awk exit construct. It also didn't allow
logical expressions inside normal expressions:
i = ($1 == 2 || $2 ~ /bar/)
a2p.h had definition of a bzero() macro inside an ifdef of BCOPY.
The two don't always go together, and since Configure is already
looking for both separately...
Fix: From rn, say "| patch -p -N -d DIR", where DIR is your perl source
directory. Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch -p -N <thisarticle".
If you don't have the patch program, apply the following by hand,

> Priority: HIGH
> Subject: libBSD.a and libPW.a are now supported
I'm not sure what libBSD.a is supposed to contain, but I think it's
a big mistake to include libPW.a by default...
libPW.a (I seem to recall) is a set of routines for continued
support of code that used PWB Unix libraries way back in the
stone age (how old does it make me? ;-) and/or "accidentally"
matched the names and functionality of more recent BSD functionality.
Eg: alloca(), rename() etc. As far as I can tell, libPW functions are
not specifically documented in *any* current SV documentation and are
not supported by many system vendors (in fact, some of the more grungy ones
often don't work on different platforms - like alloca). rename() for
example, isn't documented in SVID (vol 1..3) nor the appropriate
Programmer's Reference for our system (SVR3).
Gawd only knows what some of the other routines in libPW.a do...
I built PL12 on 386/ix, and had the fatal() clash as mentioned elsewhere.
I then editted Makefile (to shorten rebuild time) and the link complained
about "rename()" not found. So, I rebuilt from scratch after omitting
-lPW (at the Configure prompt), and all worked fine. (well... haven't
tested it yet - later ;-)
Thus, in my case, the only function found in libPW.a that was of use
to Perl was rename(). Our kernel doesn't support a "rename" system call,
and rename would have to do link()/unlink()/link() anyways (which Perl
already supports if RENAME undef'd). So, at least in my case, looking
in libPW.a was really a waste of time.
Are there any other functions that perl's using from other people's libPW.a?

: Are there any other functions that perl's using from other people's libPW.a?
Pretty much the only function that people might want from -lPW is
alloca(), and then only if they bison and don't otherwise have alloca().
I'll remove it from the default.
