  18. Fix 5.22 for empty hash keys, share_hek("") (272, GH#249)
  19. Fixed refcounts for shared hek's, fixing the notorious unshare_hek assertions
  20. since 5.10 (GH #251, #255). See 1.06: "Had to disable -O1 -fcog (pv_copy_on_grow)
  21. on 5.10 and higher until I find out how to fool S_unshare_hek_or_pvn. This fixes
  22. all C -O1 and -O2 tests. Warn about this."
  23. Fix Inf/NaN support for C (GH#287)
  24. Fix handling of READONLY hashes in 5.22, i.e. use feature (GH#250)

  35. * C: Protect against empty SV ptr in SV magic (\0) with $` with 5.20 (#370)
  36. Save new pmop (?{}) code_list with 5.18 (#372)
  37. Unset PL_use_safe_putenv as in perlmain, which initializes PL_origalen properly,
  38. which fixes setting long a $0 string (#194)
  39. Force Moose when only Class::MOP is loaded to give the needed path hint to XSLoader,
  40. when "Assuming xs loaded $stashname".
  41. * t/test.pl: print @cmd with TEST_VERBOSE
  42. 1.51 2014-08-04 rurban
  43. * C: boot_EV (analog to Coro) SvREADONLY_off its XS symbols (#368)
  44. 1.50 2014-07-23 rurban
  45. * C: fix DBI, special case DBI_MAGIC, call DBI->_install_method to
  46. re-initialize compile-time internal ima pointers (#359)
  47. Skip saving %IO::Handle for *STDOUT, which bloated 5.18 (#361)
  48. Fix XS boot of Class::MOP without Moose, and generalize it to other
  49. xs-loaded modules, which just call bootstrap Module. (#350, #364)
  50. Earlier xs_init for Encode similar to attributes (hack, fixes #32 regression)
  51. Use the system malloc for data being system free'd: cop_warnings,
  52. PMOP->op_pv, sv_debug_file, needed for certain DEBUGGING options.
  53. Fixes Attribute::Handler free errors (#362)
  54. Strip binary BM chunk from comppad names < 5.8.8 (#363)
  55. Save some CvXSUBANY values, esp. relocate any_ptr if possible:
  56. POSIX::is*, DBI, List::MoreUtils::*_iterator.
  57. The any_i32 values are already set in the boot section of the XS.
  58. Fixed initialization of foreign Encodings (#365),
  59. fixed initialization of old Encode versions < 2.58 also (#305)
  60. * CC (1.16): Strip binary BM chunk from comppad names (CC names) < 5.8.8 (#363)
  61. * perlcc (2.20): Strip wrong version-less -I<site_perl> (#366)
  62. * Makefile.PL: Install into archlib on 5.8 and 5.6 (#358)
  63. 1.49 2014-07-12 rurban
  64. * C: Changed IO::Socket::SSL warning to recommend >= 1.995.
  65. 1.996 even has some perlcc specific usage documentation (#317)
  66. Fix PerlIO::scalar XS bootstrap forced by __DATA__ (#360)
  67. We sometimes missed it
  68. 1.48 2014-07-11 rurban
  69. Fixed C walker and 5.18-5.20 Bytecode.
  70. This is the major version which cPanel will use for 5.14.4. With the next
  71. versions we'll start working on -m and buildcc, to split packages into shared libs.
  72. And use B::CC and/or rperl compiled modules selectively.
  73. * C: Make revised -fwalkall the default. Fixes missing dumped method-only packages (#348)
  74. Always save all user-loaded packages. Skip only compiler-loaded packages if
  75. not used by user code. The compiler loads and dumps now additionally only the
  76. heavy parts for utf8 and bytes, and utf8 for m///i, and AnyDBM for dbmopen,
  77. PerlIO::Scalar for __DATA__ handles, and Coro::State::_jit if required, but
  78. nothing else.
  79. Fix for missing RTLD_NOLOAD on BSD, needed for run-time remap of compile-time
  80. XS symbols via dlsym (#351)
  81. Special-case XS loading of Moose.xs from Class::MOP (#350)
  82. Better fix for mult. match once by checking OP_MATCH with ONCE flags in C.xs also (#274)

  84. Add op_lastsib bit for 5.21.2
  85. Changed IO::Socket::SSL warning as our patch was rejected upstream.
  86. Need to maintain now a fork cPanel::IO::Socket::SSL to be able to use compiled
  87. IO::Socket::SSL servers. (#317)
  88. * Stackobj (1.12): Harmonize RV checks (fixes cc 105 -O1 and -O2)
  89. * Bytecode (1.16): Replace each %hash with foreach keys in walksymtable also (#307)
  90. Do not store main_cv->START, empty optree since 5.18
  91. Add op_lastsib for 5.21.2, but sort still broken with PERL_OP_PARENT
  92. * Assembler (1.12): error if a PUT method misses an argument
  93. * perlcc (2.19): -B produces again -H bytecode, runnable without -MByteLoader.
  94. Fix default output name from a.outexe to a.exe on a windows-based OS.
  95. * Makefile.PL: fix installation of cc_runtime.h for B::CC
  96. 1.47 2014-06-11 rurban

  99. * C: detect new Encode >2.58 compile-time usage (#305, RT #94221)
  100. Fix mro maybe::next:: detection (#326)
  101. Fix %INC cleanup logic. Delete packages from %INC only if they were really not saved,
  102. and add packages to %INC which were saved and not just marked for saving. (#340)
  103. Fix lot of skip package logic and consistency parts. Much less packages are now saved
  104. in general which leads to smaller and faster code.
  105. Avoid compile-time compiler internal reloads and redefinitions.
  106. Special-case %warning::Bits on -O3 to not SEGV when changing warnings on run-time loads
  107. on compile-time saved -fconst-string warnings.
  108. Add experimental -fwalkall to add all wanted packages recursively with maxdepth 3.
  109. No tests yet.
  110. Add time and version on top of C source code. Also for CC.
  111. Fix lexical subs for threaded perls (#130, #341)
  112. Add special fixes for Coro: reload Coro jit and SvREADONLY_off some of its XS symbols (#293)
  113. Fix "Eval-group not allowed at runtime" errors since 5.18 (#135),
  114. by settting HINT_RE_EVAL for re-eval groups when compiling the QR
  115. Fix for readonly magic hashes, usually found since 5.20 (#273)
  116. Fix Can't locate object method "bootstrap_inherit" via package "DynaLoader" (#125)
  117. again, as the improved walker now strips DynaLoader from simple one-liners like
  118. 'use Clone' and the DynaLoader detection was too late. Do it now earlier.
  119. * ByteLoader (0.11): fixed filter -H problem with 5.18 (#339)
  120. Disabling the PerlIO_binmode(PL_RSFP, IoTYPE_RDONLY, O_BINARY, 0); hack for [perl #86186]
  121. "Changing filters to be textmode, not binary" fixed the Bytecode problems since 5.18

  123. New --check option
  124. * t/asmdata.t: signicant enhancements
  125. * t/CORE: add mro and re core tests, only mro/isarev.t is unstable, and several re-eval
  126. tests using variables are skipped and unsupported.
  127. 1.46 2014-05-14 rurban
  128. Added global destruction, improved -O4 and CC, fixed mro, @-, $/ $\, Net::DNS, ...
  129. Added mro and re core testsuite.
  130. * C: reset PL_stack_sp on init (was one too far). no effects on code.
  131. Implement global destruction via sv_clean_objs and my_curse on -O3, resp.
  132. prepend static svs PL_sv_arenaroot for sv_clean_objs with a fake sv_list[0].
  133. (#197, #208, #254, #280)
  134. Call DESTROY methods for all our global static SVs (i.e. "global destruction"),
  135. fixes #197, #280, #282
  136. Increment GV->FORM refcounts as they cannot be destructed, analog to CV
  137. Call PL_exitlist functions with -O3
  138. Make the lexical cop_warnings pointer dynamic, because on cv_undef (scope exit,
  139. assign, exit, die, ...) CvROOT and all its kids are freed, ignoring op_latefreed.
  140. The content of the warning is still a static string - and leaks on perl, but
  141. we don't care.
  142. -fwarn-sv is now always set, just not with MSVC on Windows. The warnings are then
  143. directly set, not in a tight loop afterwards, because the value is needed for
  144. the dynamic init.
  145. Fixed lexical warnings on 5.8 (pWARN_STD .. pWARN_NONE)
  146. Improve -O4 by keeping all CvSTART cops
  147. Keep internal packages if used in the source code, e.g. mro (#300)
  148. Fix the order of PerlIO_cleanup, after global destruction (#302, #303)
  149. Since 5.18 padlists are now all dynamic, due to undef issues in non-local exits (#304)
  150. Add -fno-dyn-padlist to -O4 to keep static padlists on 5.18.
  151. Dynamic padlists are needed to prevent from cv_undef crashes on static padlists
  152. when cleaning up the stack on non-local exits, like die or exit or subs on the
  153. compile stack as with Attribute::Handler (#169, #304). Previously only END block
  154. function padlists were dynamic (#298).
  155. Add run-time remap of compile-time XS symbols via dlsym (#305, RT #94069)
  156. Net::DNS includes Encode::XS ascii_encoding, but also init the 3 other encoding ptrs.
  157. Add a fast path for d_dlopen + i_dlfcn systems (i.e. Windows goes the slow init2 route)
  158. Detect new Encode-2.58 which stores encodings better to handle proper
  159. compile-time usage (#305, RT #94221)
  160. Add special SV associations for $/, $@ and $\ (#306, #256)
  161. Save @ISA for all included packages, esp. DynaLoader dependencies (#308)
  162. Replace each %hash with foreach sort keys (#307)
  163. Set ${^GLOBAL_PHASE} with -O3 for END and DESTRUCT (#197, #208)
  164. Do not store invalid GvCV symbols, only cv or &sv_list entries (#313)
  165. Support GvFORM pseudo CVs (B::FM objects) on 5.10 (#149)
  166. Support local $/ = "somestring" (only used empty values before) (#314),
  167. A regression from 1.43
  168. Support local $\ = "somestring" (#318), also a regression from 1.43
  169. Fix special 5.6. associations for $, $\ as they are no SVs there (#306)
  170. Fix wrong caching of internal LEXWARN symbols (#322)
  171. Warn on bad IO::Socket::SSL versions 1.956-1.983 which would SEGV if used as server (#317)
  172. Support __DATA__ blocks in packages without printing wrong warnings (#310)
  173. Support ->(maybe|next)::(method|can) mro method calls (#324, #301)
  174. Support mro c3 (#316)
  175. Support @- @LAST_MATCH_START, the array of the last submatches (#281, #220, #295)
  176. Workaround a 5.18 de-optimization which disabled ++PL_sv_objcount on bless
  177. by adding it if a DESTROY method exists. This will fail since 5.18 if DESTROY
  178. is added at run-time. (#208, #197)
  179. Add new init0 section to initialize -fppaddr ops before init, not afterwards. (#330)
  180. Needed to call utf8::SWASHINIT at init with CALLREGCOMP and /i
  181. Avoid duplicate PL_utf8_tofold ToCf swash initialization with 5.18 (#330)
  182. * CC (1.15): Skip saving non-existing methods analog to B::C 1.43_06 (CC test 50)
  183. Fix failing CopFILE_free and CopSTASH_free in END blocks with threads (#296, CC test 48)
  184. Handle duplicate function names, like multiple END blocks or anon functions (#297)
  185. Replace each %hash with foreach sort keys (#307)
  186. * Bytecode (1.15): Replace each %hash with foreach keys (#307)
  187. * Bblock (1.04): Do not pollute B::CC (find_leaders) with B::Concise
  188. 1.45 2014-02-11 rurban
  189. * t/issue281.t: fix wrong test ($[ vs $])
  190. 1.44 2014-02-10 rurban
  191. added adjusted CORE testsuite for 5.14. passes for 5.14.4-nt, not for 5.18.2-nt
  192. (cPanel code_monkeys)
  193. still missing in general are:
  194. - global destruction (use lexicals!),
  195. - attribute handlers,
  196. - compile-time perlio layers
  197. * C: Fix -O3 with ~ and ~~ formatstrings (#277)
  198. Fix SvLEN and PV ptr for empty shared hash keys (#272)
  199. Use the natural @dl_modules boot order, just put attributes to the front (#259)
  200. Store cop_hints to support lexical numeric hints pragmas,
  201. esp. use bytes and use open attributes
  202. (fixes #81 #152 #174 #176 #180 #185 #224 #235 #238 #241 #245 #253 #255 #256 #277)

  206. prototypes declarations and cvrefs (#251, #159, #235, #246, #270, #271, #275, #279)
  207. Fix PVMG PV overwriting the RV, overload sub (#273)
  208. * CC (1.14): Skip saving non-existing methods analog to B::C 1.43_06 (CC test 50)
  209. * perlcc (2.17): Accept -A for -DALLOW_PERL_OPTIONS
  210. * t/testc.sh: Accept -A for -DALLOW_PERL_OPTIONS
  211. 1.43 2014-01-15 rurban
  212. new 5.16, and partial 5.18, 5.20 and windows support.
  213. Many more fixes and testcases.
  214. Bytecode is still broken on 5.18, esp non-threaded. 5.20 looks pretty good though.

  223. loaded later.
  224. Add $dlmodule::VERSION as 2nd arg to boot_$dlmodule resp. $dlmodule::bootstrap
  225. to get rid of the pesky Invalid version format error in xs_version_bootcheck
  226. if the $VERSION had already version magic attached. (no testcase, hard to repro)
  227. perl 5.16.0 shipped a slightly broken B without cop_stashlen. As workaround
  228. we do not support utf8 stashes nor null bytes in stashes on 5.16.0 threaded.
  229. Fixed Null COP storage for 5.16 and 5.17
  230. Fix amagic_generation which was removed with 5.17
  231. Fix ALLOW_PERL_OPTIONS: add -e behind all processed options, not before

  233. e.g. %warning::Bits
  234. Added support for new PADLIST type since 5.17.4 (with xpadl_id) and 5.17.6 (without)
  235. $^X returns now the real executable name, not just perl or perl.exe
  236. Adjust COW string lengths to hold the COW_REFCNT byte at the end
  237. Fix unicode string CUR and LEN (#142, #162)
  238. Fix unicode hashkeys (HEK) mostly (#200), but not yet testc.sh 2001 (compile-time
  239. stored utf8 heks)

  247. Fixed NUL-byte handling in strings by using B::SV->PV instead of PVX (#237)
  248. Storing now bareword filehandles (#148,#149)
  249. Do not create GvGP at all. This also removes the need for newGP() (Windows/AIX)
  250. use Config does not include B anymore, Internals::V now in __ANON__ package
  251. Fixed handling of empty - not successfully autoloaded - CVs (#235, #159, ...)
  252. by storing the SV and XPVCV but ignoring it and defer to run-time get_cv()

  256. Restore more missing globals: ${^UNICODE} ${^UTF8LOCALE} $; $\ $, $/ $" $|
  257. $^A $^L $: $^H $^R $% $- $= if set in a BEGIN block or via cmdline (#256,#231)
  258. Restore even deprecated vars $] $# $* (#171)
  259. Fix HvAUX memory corruption, accessing HvAUX beyond HE fields, esp. with threaded perls.
  260. Initialize now HvAUX backref and mro_meta fields.
  261. Do not boot internal core XS packages twice, refer to internal XS functions dynamically

  271. Enforce -ffold on an ucfirst op or $INC{'unicore/To/Title.pl'} (#242)
  272. Mark empty but overloaded packages (#172). This is merely workaround for reduced testcases.
  273. Set PadnamelistMAXNAMED(comppad_name) needed since 5.19.3 for eval string (#268)
  274. Add new option -fno-delete-pkg to control if to ignore compiler-only dependent packages,

  281. improved --version
  282. added --perlopts to handle -DALLOW_PERL_OPTIONS
  283. * perlcc (2.16): changed output name rules:
  284. Without given output file name we use the name of the input file (in the subdir)
  285. or with -e a.out resp. a.exe and a randomized intermediate C filename.
  286. If the input file is an absolute path on non-windows systems use the basename.
  287. * CC (1.13): Use the B::C integer and double precision logic (ivx, nvx).
  288. Fixed double precision to 16 digits. The nbody shootout is now 2x faster than perl.

  306. Set PadnamelistMAXNAMED(comppad_name) needed since 5.19.3 for eval string (#268)
  307. * ByteLoader (0.10): set sv_refcnt to 1 in newsv to skip most defaults
  308. * Assembler (1.11): allow "newpadlx 0"
  309. * Disassembler (1.12): use B::Concise op_flags and private_flags
  310. * Stash (1.03): fix compilation for 5.8.8 and below: gv_fetchsv missing
  311. * t/perldoc.t: perlcc fails with 5.8 because Cwd disturbs the
  312. fragile method package finder for File::Spec. Use cc_harness.
  313. 1.42 2012-02-01 rurban
  314. stable up to 5.14
  315. * C: Improved finding methods in parent classes (Warning: method not found),
  316. Save @ISA of those child classes.
  317. Re-implement and simplify my_share_hek, now in terms of share_hek.
  318. PL_strtab hack gone. This fixed the shared_hek destruction
  319. problems.
  320. Turn off CvDYNFILE needed since 5.15.4, use static CvFILE. (DateTime)
  321. * perlcc: perlcc -stash does not hang anymore, renabled t/e_perlcc.t -stash section
  322. * Stash (1.02): '-xs' does not load B anymore.
  323. Now in seperate directory Stash
  324. * Stash/Stash.xs: new with CvIsXSUB() to get rid of B, polluting the stashes.
  325. * Stash/Makefile.PL: new
  326. * Bytecode (1.13): support shared hek (42,43)
  327. * ByteLoader (0.09), ByteLoader/bytecode.h, bytecode.pl: support shared hek (42,43),
  328. added xpvshared
  329. * t/issue95.t: added, isa methods not found
  330. 1.41 2012-01-30 rurban
  331. * t/modules.t: Fixed syntax error
  332. 1.40 2012-01-30 rurban
  333. static PerlIO Layers (e.g. __DATA__)
  334. * C: fixed deferred %INC, %INC is now stored and cleaned up at the end.
  335. Improved __DATA__ handle as PerlIO layer, PerlIO::scalar now
  336. loaded static (test 15).
  337. Defer eval section after dl_init (e.g. for PerlIO::scalar) (test 15)
  338. Check for XSLoader now at the very end (test 27)
  339. Fixed MUTABLE_CV for 5.10.0
  340. Improved 5.8 method lifting for not-found methods a bit (5.8. perldoc.t)
  341. * Bytecode: fixed test 22
  342. Cannot locate object method "fileno" via package "IO::File"
  343. * Makefile.PL: readonly $lib fix for MSWin32
  344. * t/testc.sh: silence ulimit -m warnings + errors
  345. 1.39 2012-01-25 rurban
  346. * C: improved eval AUTOLOAD, avoid some POSIX and Storable .al compile-time
  347. side-effects such as creating files and dirs. First try loading
  348. .al files, only then eval the dangerous AUTOLOAD.
  349. * Makefile.PL: typo in -fav-init2 independent_comalloc detection.
  350. Added LICENSE key, META and the files were not enough to please pause.
  351. 1.38 2012-01-24 rurban
  352. * t/issue93.t: fixed syntax error
  353. 1.37 2012-01-24 rurban
  354. Enabled copy-on-grow strings >= 5.10.
  355. Save %main:: stashes w/o -fno-stash. Switched to git, added github mirror
  356. Fixed hashes and share_hek, when mixed compiled and load-time for >5.8.
  357. Stability: This release is the first which passes almost all tests and
  358. is used in production with --staticxs -O3, but copy-on-grow hek's and
  359. further logical improvements (deferred %INC cleanup) fail so far, so it's
  360. still considered unstable.
  361. * C: save stashes optionally with -fstash, but only values which are also
  362. stashes to avoid a second walker besides savecv, and thus do not
  363. walk into unneeded territory; B::STASHGV (46, issue 79)
  364. New -fno-stash with -O2 to omit stashes which are rarely needed.
  365. Fixed vulnerability to oCERT-2011-003 style DOS attacks. Do not
  366. pre-compute hashes for hv_store(), use fresh random hash seed.
  367. But shared_hek() has a limited API which does not allow this.
  368. UNIVERSAL methods were not correctly stored, which led to method not
  369. found at run-time errors.
  370. New debug option -Dr "runtime" to add debug output to the .c code (as in CC)
  371. New option -Upackage to skip package, mark_skip()
  372. Re-implemented sharepvn via share_hek() and SvLEN=0 (issue 71),
  373. Special FAKE+READONLY handling: LEN = 0 if pv_copy_on_grow or shared_hek.
  374. Fixed !SvIsCOW_shared_hash + FAKE+READONLY conflict (test 13, issue 82).
  375. Shared COW hashkeys which are optimized to static const strings
  376. may not be marked as IsCOW (remove SVf_FAKE).
  377. Re-implemented CORE share_hek with hash=0
  378. Otherwise shared HEK's (post-5.10) come up with duplicate entries
  379. for the same keys; one compile-time created and one run-time created with
  380. a different random hash seed. E.g. observed by such warnings
  381. "Prototype mismatch: sub bytes::length (_) vs (_)"
  382. Added Internals::hv_clear_placeholders XS name exception, similar
  383. to version:: (issue 83)
  384. Store CV prototypes, issue 81 and issue 84 for empty () vs NULL prototypes.
  385. Fixed 5.15.2 hang at hfree_next_entry (issue 78)
  386. Defer writing of READONLY hash keys since 5.15 (issue 88)
  387. Enable -fcog copy-on-grow with static strings for >= 5.10
  388. Improved Errno vs. *main::! and Tie::Hash::NamedCapture vs
  389. *main::+ / - logic (issue 90)
  390. Updated version XS methods, default to noop for (...
  391. Strip version object overload from XS packages (issue 91), XS needs plain PVs
  392. Do not initialize CONSTSUB XS methods twice, boot does it for us
  393. Pass proper cv to XS boot_$name, fixes boot of
  394. Tie::Hash::NamedCapture (issue 86)
  395. Fixed share_hek strings with -O1 (test 13)
  396. Fixed bootstrapping the XS/core part of attributes,
  397. thereby fixed threads tests 41-43.
  398. Fixed most 5.8.[45] problems by ignoring aelemfast SPECIAL pads.
  399. Fixed magic -> PTR when SV (>5.6)
  400. Moved -fsave-sig-hash from -O3 to -O0. You need -fno-save-sig-hash
  401. to disable it.
  402. Removed -fno-stash from -O2, -fno-stash is now the default. You
  403. need -fstash to add stashes. It caused not understood problems.
  404. Fixed saving %SIG signals and more -2 SV magic (issue 92)
  405. Adjusted IO logic, was erronously skipped (issue 59)
  406. inc_cleanup: save only those %INC keys which are stored.
  407. Save ext/mro only if the ext mro methods were loaded, and
  408. utf8_heavy.pl similarly.
  409. Force loading of -u arguments to avoid runtime loading.
  410. Call boot_core_PerlIO, mro, UNIVERSAL and xsutils.
  411. Warn on unsavable IO objects from BEGIN blocks.
  412. Fixed >&STD... handles (issue 93),
  413. i.e. Test::Builder, Test::NoWarnings and parts of the core testing.
  414. See http://blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2012/01/what-to-avoid-in-begin-blocks.html
  415. Add B::COP::stashflags workaround, >5.15.4 threaded.
  416. Add fix for lost PL_regex_pad, 5.15 threaded.
  417. * CC (1.12): allow overriding of -f<opt> B::C flags.
  418. Skip internal packages with mark_skip (fixes cc_o2 tests).
  419. Move -ftype-attr from -O2 to -O1.
  420. Always define int, double and string package versions, parallel to types.
  421. * Bytecode (1.12): detect Tie::Hash::NamedCapture (issue 90) -
  422. works only partially.
  423. Fixed >&STD... handles (issue 93)
  424. Support -d debugging without -MOd
  425. * Stackobj (1.00_03): add UL or L to overlong integers. doubles
  426. not yet
  427. * perlcc (2.13): added options -O[1-4], -u, -U, --Wc, --Wl, --version,
  428. Keep cfile if output is empty.
  429. Change -o output C file directory and name with -S or -c:
  430. Before in current directory, now in -o directory.
  431. Before with input name, now with -o name.
  432. Add -rpath for all --staticxs libs if supported.
  433. Changed verbosity levels and output wording.
  434. * bytecode.pl: added xio_ifp
  435. * bytecode.h: added BSET_xio_ifp
  436. * META.yml: remove from MANIFEST and repo, let make dist
  437. autogenerate it.
  438. * t/test.pl, t/TESTS: changed test 46 (Exporter:: and other stashes in
  439. %main:: stash) to cover issue 79.
  440. use Exporter; print q(ok) if %main::Exporter::
  441. * t/test.pl: use general comments with optional TODO. Before only TODO
  442. * t/perldoc.t: fixed for 5.8 with manually adding -uFile::Spec -uIO::Handle
  443. * t/issue59.t, t/issue81.t, t/issue90.t, t/issue93.t: added
  444. 1.36 2011-10-19 rurban
  445. lexical warnings and more 5.15 fixes

  447. since 8e01d9a6 5.8.9/5.9.4 (issue 76)
  448. Added section free, use it for lexical cop_warnings (const STRLEN*)
  449. (TODO: static PV, HEK + COPs)
  450. Workaround for utf8::SWASHNEW adjusted to 5.15
  451. PAD* sv flags changed in 5.15.3
  452. XSLoader API changed (HEK in caller i.e.): had to add a

  455. Set SvLEN=0 for static PVs to skip sv_clear (problem with 13)
  456. Handle overlarge negative 64bit ints, double not yet.
  457. Move -fwarn-sv from -O2 to -O1
  458. Move -fsave-data from -O3 to -O2
  459. Compile *main::DATA IO handle automatically (__DATA__), just package __DATA__
  460. handles need -fsave-data (15)
  461. Die with 5.8.4/5.8.5 threaded with split->pushre on invalid
  462. pmreplroot. This is a core B::walkoptree bug and can not be
  463. easily fixed.
  464. Tests 15 and 103 do not hang anymore, 15 and 29 pass mostly
  465. * C.xs: added -Dts support to runloop to check internal compiler
  466. problems
  467. * t/issue76.t: added

  474. -O1 now includes also -fav-init2 and -fppaddr, which are all
  475. stable. -O2 string handling (-fro-inc) still unstable.
  476. added B::REGEXP::save for \$qr (Encode::Alias), issue 71. Still
  477. not fully fixed. Encode::Alias unusable.
  478. fixed empty HV assertions since 5.15, new HV default keys = 7
  479. (3,4,36), but still unsolved 5.15 problem with endless loop in
  480. Perl_hfree_next_entry hv.c:1716 (3,4,36)
  481. workaround 5.15.2 inability to walk with from %INC deleted
  482. stashes, also workaround adding already deleted DynaLoader.
  483. CORE patch [perl #100138] for new 5.15.2-5.15.3 DynaLoader XS_INTERNAL
  484. problem required (16,29,44,45). Fixed with 5.15.4
  485. 0001-Export-DynaLoader-symbols-from-libperl-again.patch
  486. use proper PL_envgv for *main::ENV which is inited in perl_parse
  487. (fixes e.g. CGI apps using run-time values, not compile-time)
  488. * CC (1.11): allow debugging without -MOd=CC
  489. Try to jump from last to unknown label, put labels also onto cxstack.
  490. Fixed cc_last.t test 4, jump out of anonsub, but not across C
  491. functions yet (this is disallowed in C, need to split).
  492. * C.xs: added B::REGEXP::EXTFLAGS (missing from B).
  493. * perlcc (2.12): omit also inc_version_list dirs from perlcc as
  494. leaving them in could lead to unexpected crashes
  495. * t/cc_last.t: Fixed test 2. This works compiled and uncompiled,
  496. but the returned errcode is not compared. Skip if so.
  497. * t/TESTS: add all 5 possible method/sub calls to test 35 =>01234.
  498. See http://blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2011/06/how-perl-calls-subs-and-methods.html

  1083. -O1 and -O2 tests. Warn about this.
  1084. Fix wrong RV init on *5.10* for test 29 also, as with 5.11.
  1085. Simplify __DATA__ handling. Warn when -O3 or -fsava-data is missing.

  1182. Skip a 0x prefix for byteorder in the header. Perl 5.6 had this.
  1183. * Assembler.pm (0.07_06): 5.6 byteorder fix: until 5.6 the
  1184. $Config{byteorder} was falsely dependent on ivsize, we need longsize.
  1185. Add 0x to byteorder in header again, as with 5.6.
  1186. * t/testc.sh: do not run old leftovers. some 5.6 optimizations

  1462. Nicholas Clark <nwc10+p5p4@colon.colondot.net> 2007-05-07 14:53:05
  1463. Given that @optype and @specialsv_name are hard coded tables, it seems

  1824. @2378 More C.pm tweaks
  1825. Save globs even if we have saved cv itself before - may be imported.
  1826. While we don't save "bootstrap" CV we need to provide a stub,
  1827. so that if we require it later we don't fall through and attempt
  1828. to DynaLoad module again.
  1829. Attempt to save %INC so that "require" does not reload things
  1830. we have compiled-in (does not work right yet - seems to be due
  1831. to PL_incgv being created in perl_parse() current scheme setting
  1832. GvHV() is "better" than saving the glob, but still does not
  1833. work as I expect).
  1834. Nick Ing-Simmons <nik@tiuk.ti.com> 1998-11-27 22:10:27
  1835. @2332 Handle INIT list in C.pm
  1836. 1. Provide init_av() from B.xs
  1837. 2. Export it in B.pm
  1838. 3. Use it in C.pm
  1839. Also disable some pruning in savecv() which seems to undo
  1840. my previous patch.
  1841. Experimental feature - save pathnames of .so files in easily
  1842. grep-able form for use in wrapper to feed to linker.

  1922. Change FREAD/FGETC to BGET_FREAD/BGET_FGETC to avoid clash with
  1923. preprocessor symbol on Digital UNIX.
  1924. Gurusamy Sarathy <gsar@cpan.org> 1998-02-26 03:56:19
  1925. @589 [win32] various cleanups so that B can be built as "just another extension"
  1926. - export symbols needed for building B
  1927. - bset_obj_store() is needed by byterun(), so define it there instead
  1928. of at B.xs, and export it
  1929. - freadpv() is only used in B.xs, so move it there
  1930. - byte*.h are now included by perl.h
  1931. - regenerate embed*.h
  1932. Gurusamy Sarathy <gsar@cpan.org> 1998-02-22 02:40:56
  1933. @568 [win32] get compiler building under win32 (needed Makefile.PL
  1934. hacks that could be applicable to other platforms)
  1935. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-25 17:44:34
  1936. @585 More compiler tweaks.
  1937. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 18:23:47
  1938. @565 Remove compiler files from their old lib/B locations. The compiler
  1939. now builds by default (without the byteperl executable so far) and
  1940. seems to work at least minimally.
  1941. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 18:05:33
  1942. @564 Move lib/B/... and lib/[BO].pm over to where they should be,
  1943. under ext/B.
  1944. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 17:54:58
  1945. @563 Start getting compiler to work when built with the core.
  1946. [Still won't work as of this change.]
  1947. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 16:42:13
  1948. * Merge perlext/Compiler/... into mainline. Some files move to
  1949. ext/B/..., some to lib/B/..., O.pm and B.pm go in lib and some
  1950. move to the base perl directory (e.g. headers). Will need some
  1951. cleaning up before it builds properly, I would guess.
  1952. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 16:39:38
  1953. * [compiler] Win32 changes from Sarathy, tweaked slightly by me.
  1954. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-17 17:50:50
  1955. * Assorted changes to the compiler
  1956. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1997-12-17 10:59:40
  1957. * Fix typo in compiler B/C.pm.
  1958. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1997-12-10 18:33:53
  1959. Alpha5
  1960. * Start overhauling compiler. It was working at least minimally
  1961. right up until the final tweak of B.xs to add threadsv_names
  1962. at which point building it provokes a seg fault in perl while
  1963. doing the xsubpp :-(.
  1964. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1997-09-03 12:31:48
  1965. * Make compiler build/work with devel 5.005
  1966. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1997-07-05 11:58:05
  1967. * Change %lx to %x in B::CV::save to prevent some CV
  1968. fields becoming 0 in the init section. Add missing
  1969. write_back in B::Stackobj::Padsv::load_double to fix
  1970. test 22 of op/my.t.
  1971. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1997-07-05 11:58:05
  1972. * B::CC::pp_padsv must cope with vivify_ref (5.004)
  1973. as well as provide_ref (5.003)
  1974. Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1997-05-03 14:47:06
  1975. Alpha 4
  1976. * initial check in of compiler
  1977. from version Alpha a3 to a4
