If -you wish to correspond about any of them, please include the bug number. - -There were a few that can be construed as enhancements: - NETaa13059: now warns of use of \1 where $1 is necessary. - NETaa13512: added $SIG{__WARN__} and $SIG{__DIE__} hooks - NETaa13520: added closures - NETaa13530: scalar keys now resets hash iterator - NETaa13641: added Tim's fancy new import whizbangers - NETaa13710: cryptswitch needed to be more "useable" - NETaa13716: Carp now allows multiple packages to be skipped out of - NETaa13716: now counts imported routines as "defined" for redef warnings - (and, of course, much of the stuff from the perl5-porters) - -NETaa12974: README incorrectly said it was a pre-release. -Files patched: README - -NETaa13033: goto pushed a bogus scope on the context stack. -From: Steve Vinoski -Files patched: pp_ctl.c - The goto operator pushed an extra bogus scope onto the context stack. (This - often didn't matter, since many things pop extra unrecognized scopes off.) - -NETaa13034: tried to get valid pointer from undef. -From: Castor Fu -Also: Achille Hui, the Day Dreamer -Also: Eric Arnold -Files patched: pp_sys.c - Now treats undef specially, and calls SvPV_force on any non-numeric scalar - value to get a real pointer to somewhere. - -NETaa13035: included package info with filehandles. -From: Jack Shirazi - BIU -Files patched: pp_hot.c pp_sys.c - Now passes a glob to filehandle methods to keep the package info intact. - -NETaa13048: didn't give strict vars message on every occurrence. -From: Doug Campbell -Files patched: gv.c - It now complains about every occurrence. (The bug resulted from an - ill-conceived attempt to suppress a duplicate error message in a - suboptimal fashion.) - -NETaa13052: test for numeric sort sub return value fooled by taint magic. -From: Peter Jaspers-Fayer -Files patched: pp_ctl.c sv.h - The test to see if the sort sub return value was numeric looked at the - public flags rather than the private flags of the SV, so taint magic - hid that info from the sort. - -NETaa13053: forced a2p to use byacc -From: Andy Dougherty -Files patched: MANIFEST x2p/Makefile.SH x2p/a2p.c - a2p.c is now pre-byacced and shipped with the kit. - -NETaa13055: misnamed constant in previous patch. -From: Conrad Augustin -Files patched: op.c op.h toke.c - The tokener translates $[ to a constant, but with a special marking in case - the constant gets assigned to or localized. Unfortunately, the marking - was done with a combination of OPf_SPECIAL and OPf_MOD that was easily - spoofed. There is now a private OPpCONST_ARYLEN flag for this purpose. - -NETaa13055: use of OPf_SPECIAL for $[ lvaluehood was too fragile. -Files patched: op.c op.h toke.c - (same) - -NETaa13056: convert needs to throw away any number info on its list. -From: Jack Shirazi - BIU -Files patched: op.c - The listiness of the argument list leaked out to the subroutine call because - of how prepend_elem and append_elem reuse an existing list. The convert() - routine just needs to discard any listiness it finds on its argument. - -NETaa13058: AUTOLOAD shouldn't assume size of @_ is meaningful. -From: Florent Guillaume -Files patched: ext/DB_File/DB_File.pm ext/Fcntl/Fcntl.pm ext/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.pm ext/Socket/Socket.pm h2xs.SH - I just deleted the optimization, which is silly anyway since the eventual - subroutine definition is cached. - -NETaa13059: now warns of use of \1 where $1 is necessary. -From: Gustaf Neumann -Files patched: toke.c - Now says - - Can't use \1 to mean $1 in expression at foo line 2 - - along with an explanation in perldiag. - -NETaa13060: no longer warns on attempt to read <> operator's transition state. -From: Chaim Frenkel -Files patched: pp_hot.c - No longer warns on <> operator's transitional state. - -NETaa13140: warning said $ when @ would be more appropriate. -From: David J. MacKenzie -Files patched: op.c pod/perldiag.pod - Now says - - (Did you mean $ or @ instead of %?) - - and added more explanation to perldiag. - -NETaa13149: was reading freed memory to make incorrect error message. -Files patched: pp_ctl.c - It was reading freed memory to make an error message that would be - incorrect in any event because it had the inner filename rather than - the outer. - -NETaa13149: confess was sometimes less informative than croak -From: Jack Shirazi -Files patched: lib/Carp.pm - (same) - -NETaa13150: stderr needs to be STDERR in package -From: Jack Shirazi -Files patched: lib/File/CheckTree.pm - Also fixed pl2pm to translate the filehandles to uppercase. - -NETaa13150: uppercases stdin, stdout and stderr -Files patched: pl2pm - (same) - -NETaa13154: array assignment didn't notice package magic. -From: Brian Reichert -Files patched: pp_hot.c - The list assignment operator looked for only set magic, but set magic is - only on the elements of a magical hash, not on the hash as a whole. I made - the operator look for any magic at all on the target array or hash. - -NETaa13155: &DB::DB left trash on the stack. -From: Thomas Koenig -Files patched: lib/perl5db.pl pp_ctl.c - The call by pp_dbstate() to &DB::DB left trash on the stack. It now - calls DB in list context, and DB returns (). - -NETaa13156: lexical variables didn't show up in debugger evals. -From: Joergen Haegg -Files patched: op.c - The code that searched back up the context stack for the lexical scope - outside the eval only partially took into consideration that there - might be extra debugger subroutine frames that shouldn't be used, and - ended up comparing the wrong statement sequence number to the range of - valid sequence numbers for the scope of the lexical variable. (There - was also a bug fixed in passing that caused the scope of lexical to go - clear to the end of the subroutine even if it was within an inner block.) - -NETaa13157: any request for autoloaded DESTROY should create a null one. -From: Tom Christiansen -Files patched: lib/AutoLoader.pm - If DESTROY.al is not located, it now creates sub DESTROY {} automatically. - -NETaa13158: now preserves $@ around destructors while leaving eval. -From: Tim Bunce -Files patched: pp_ctl.c - Applied supplied patch, except the whole second hunk can be replaced with - - sv_insert(errsv, 0, 0, message, strlen(message)); - -NETaa13160: clarified behavior of split without arguments -From: Harry Edmon -Files patched: pod/perlfunc.pod - Clarified the behavior of split without arguments. - -NETaa13162: eval {} lost list/scalar context -From: Dov Grobgeld -Files patched: op.c - LEAVETRY didn't propagate number to ENTERTRY. - -NETaa13163: clarified documentation of foreach using my variable -From: Tom Christiansen -Files patched: pod/perlsyn.pod - Explained that foreach using a lexical is still localized. - -NETaa13164: the dot detector for the end of formats was over-rambunctious. -From: John Stoffel -Files patched: toke.c - The dot detector for the end of formats was over-rambunctious. It would - pick up any dot that didn't have a space in front of it. - -NETaa13165: do {} while 1 never linked outer block into next chain. -From: Gisle Aas -Files patched: op.c - When the conditional of do {} while 1; was optimized away, it confused the - postfix order construction so that the block that ordinarily sits around the - whole loop was never executed. So when the loop tried to unstack between - iterations, it got the wrong context, and blew away the lexical variables - of the outer scope. Fixed it by introducing a NULL opcode that will be - optimized away later. - -NETaa13167: coercion was looking at public bits rather than private bits. -From: Randal L. Schwartz -Also: Thomas Riechmann -Also: Shane Castle -Files patched: sv.c - There were some bad ifdefs around the various varieties of set*id(). In - addition, tainting was interacting badly with assignment to $> because - sv_2iv() was examining SvPOK rather than SvPOKp, and so couldn't coerce - a string uid to an integer one. - -NETaa13167: had some ifdefs wrong on set*id. -Files patched: mg.c pp_hot.c - (same) - -NETaa13168: relaxed test for comparison of new and old fds -From: Casper H.S. Dik -Files patched: t/lib/posix.t - I relaxed the comparison to just check that the new fd is greater. - -NETaa13169: autoincrement can corrupt scalar value state. -From: Gisle Aas -Also: Tom Christiansen -Files patched: sv.c - It assumed a PV didn't need to be upgraded to become an NV. - -NETaa13169: previous patch could leak a string pointer. -Files patched: sv.c - (same) - -NETaa13170: symbols missing from global.sym -From: Tim Bunce -Files patched: global.sym - Applied suggested patch. - -NETaa13171: \\ in <<'END' shouldn't reduce to \. -From: Randal L. Schwartz -Files patched: toke.c - <<'END' needed to bypass ordinary single-quote processing. - -NETaa13172: 'use integer' turned off magical autoincrement. -From: Erich Rickheit KSC -Files patched: pp.c pp_hot.c - The integer versions of the increment and decrement operators were trying too - hard to be efficient. - -NETaa13172: deleted duplicate increment and decrement code -Files patched: opcode.h opcode.pl pp.c - (same) - -NETaa13173: install should make shared libraries executable. -From: Brian Grossman -Also: Dave Nadler -Also: Eero Pajarre -Files patched: installperl - Now gives permission 555 to any file ending with extension specified by $dlext. - -NETaa13176: ck_rvconst didn't free the const it used up. -From: Nick Duffek -Files patched: op.c - I checked in many random memory leaks under this bug number, since it - was an eval that brought many of them out. - -NETaa13176: didn't delete XRV for temp ref of destructor. -Files patched: sv.c - (same) - -NETaa13176: didn't delete op_pmshort in matching operators. -Files patched: op.c - (same) - -NETaa13176: eval leaked the name of the eval. -Files patched: scope.c - (same) - -NETaa13176: gp_free didn't free the format. -Files patched: gv.c - (same) - -NETaa13176: minor leaks in loop exits and constant subscript optimization. -Files patched: op.c - (same) - -NETaa13176: plugged some duplicate struct allocation memory leaks. -Files patched: perl.c - (same) - -NETaa13176: sv_clear of an FM didn't clear anything. -Files patched: sv.c - (same) - -NETaa13176: tr/// didn't mortalize its return value. -Files patched: pp.c - (same) - -NETaa13177: SCOPE optimization hid line number info -From: David J. MacKenzie -Also: Hallvard B Furuseth -Files patched: op.c - Every pass on the syntax tree has to keep track of the current statement. - Unfortunately, the single-statement block was optimized into a single - statement between the time the variable was parsed and the time the - void code scan was done, so that pass didn't see the OP_NEXTSTATE - operator, because it has been optimized to an OP_NULL. - - Fortunately, null operands remember what they were, so it was pretty easy - to make it set the correct line number anyway. - -NETaa13178: some linux doesn't handle nm well -From: Alan Modra -Files patched: hints/linux.sh - Applied supplied patch. - -NETaa13180: localized slice now pre-extends array -From: Larry Schuler -Files patched: pp.c - A localized slice now pre-extends its array to avoid reallocation during - the scope of the local. - -NETaa13181: m//g didn't keep track of whether previous match matched null. -From: "philippe.verdret" -Files patched: mg.h pp_hot.c - A pattern isn't allowed to match a null string in the same place twice in - a row. m//g wasn't keeping track of whether the previous match matched - the null string. - -NETaa13182: now includes whitespace as a regexp metacharacter. -From: Larry Wall -Files patched: toke.c - scan_const() now counts " \t\n\r\f\v" as metacharacters when scanning a pattern. - -NETaa13183: sv_setsv shouldn't try to clone an object. -From: Peter Gordon -Files patched: sv.c - The sv_mortalcopy() done by the return in STORE called sv_setsv(), - which cloned the object. sv_setsv() shouldn't be in the business of - cloning objects. - -NETaa13184: bogus warning on quoted signal handler name removed. -From: Dan Carson -Files patched: toke.c - Now doesn't complain unless the first non-whitespace character after the = - is an alphabetic character. - -NETaa13186: now croaks on chop($') -From: Casper H.S. Dik -Files patched: doop.c - Now croaks on chop($') and such. - -NETaa13187: "${foo::bar}" now counts as mere delimitation, not as a bareword. -From: Jay Rogers -Files patched: toke.c - "${foo::bar}" now counts as mere delimitation, not as a bareword inside a - reference block. - -NETaa13188: for backward compatibility, looks for "perl -" before "perl". -From: Russell Mosemann -Files patched: toke.c - Now allows non-whitespace characters on the #! line between the "perl" - and the "-". - -NETaa13188: now allows non-whitespace after #!...perl before switches. -Files patched: toke.c - (same) - -NETaa13189: derivative files need to be removed before recreation -From: Simon Leinen -Also: Dick Middleton -Also: David J. MacKenzie -Files patched: embed_h.sh x2p/Makefile.SH - Fixed various little nits as suggested in several messages. - -NETaa13190: certain assignments can spoof pod directive recognizer -From: Ilya Zakharevich -Files patched: toke.c - The lexer now only recognizes pod directives where a statement is expected. - -NETaa13194: now returns undef when there is no curpm. -From: lusol@Dillon.CC.Lehigh.EDU -Files patched: mg.c - Since there was no regexp prior to the "use", it was returning whatever the - last successful match was within the "use", because there was no current - regexp, so it treated it as a normal variable. It now returns undef. - -NETaa13195: semop had one S too many. -From: Joachim Huober -Files patched: opcode.pl - The entry in opcode.pl had one too many S's. - -NETaa13196: always assumes it's a Perl script if -c is used. -From: Dan Carson -Files patched: toke.c - It now will assume it's a Perl script if the -c switch is used. - -NETaa13197: changed implicit -> message to be more understandable. -From: Bruce Barnett -Files patched: op.c pod/perldiag.pod - I changed the error message to be more understandable. It now says - - Can't use subscript on sort... - - -NETaa13201: added OPpCONST_ENTERED flag to properly enter filehandle symbols. -From: E. Jay Berkenbilt -Also: Tom Christiansen -Files patched: op.c op.h toke.c - The grammatical reduction of a print statement didn't properly count - the filehandle as a symbol reference because it couldn't distinguish - between a symbol entered earlier in the program and a symbol entered - for the first time down in the lexer. - -NETaa13203: README shouldn't mention uperl.o any more. -From: Anno Siegel -Files patched: README - -NETaa13204: .= shouldn't warn on uninitialized target. -From: Pete Peterson -Files patched: pp_hot.c - No longer warns on uninitialized target of .= operator. - -NETaa13206: handy macros in XSUB.h -From: Tim Bunce -Files patched: XSUB.h - Added suggested macros. - -NETaa13228: commonality checker didn't treat lexicals as variables. -From: mcook@cognex.com -Files patched: op.c opcode.pl - The list assignment operator tries to avoid unnecessary copies by doing the - assignment directly if there are no common variables on either side of the - equals. Unfortunately, the code that decided that only recognized references - to dynamic variables, not lexical variables. - -NETaa13229: fixed sign stuff for complement, integer coercion. -From: Larry Wall -Files patched: perl.h pp.c sv.c - Fixed ~0 and integer coercions. - -NETaa13230: no longer tries to reuse scratchpad temps if tainting in effect. -From: Luca Fini -Files patched: op.c - I haven't reproduced it, but I believe the problem is the reuse of scratchpad - temporaries between statements. I've made it not try to reuse them if - tainting is in effect. - -NETaa13231: *foo = *bar now prevents typo warnings on "foo" -From: Robin Barker -Files patched: sv.c - Aliasing of the form *foo = *bar is now protected from the typo warnings. - Previously only the *foo = \$bar form was. - -NETaa13235: require BAREWORD now introduces package name immediately. -From: Larry Wall -Files patched: toke.c - require BAREWORD now introduces package name immediately. This lets the - method intuit code work right even though the require hasn't actually run - yet. - -NETaa13289: didn't calculate correctly using arybase. -From: Jared Rhine -Files patched: pp.c pp_hot.c - The runtime code didn't use curcop->cop_arybase correctly. - -NETaa13301: store now throws exception on error -From: Barry Friedman -Files patched: ext/GDBM_File/GDBM_File.xs ext/NDBM_File/NDBM_File.xs ext/ODBM_File/ODBM_File.xs ext/SDBM_File/SDBM_File.xs - Changed warn to croak in ext/*DBM_File/*.xs. - -NETaa13302: ctime now takes Time_t rather than Time_t*. -From: Rodger Anderson -Files patched: ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs - Now declares a Time_t and takes the address of that in CODE. - -NETaa13302: shorter way to do this patch -Files patched: ext/POSIX/POSIX.xs - (same) - -NETaa13304: could feed too large $@ back into croak, whereupon it croaked. -From: Larry Wall -Files patched: perl.c - callist() could feed $@ back into croak with more than a bare %s. (croak() - handles long strings with a bare %s okay.) - -NETaa13305: compiler misoptimized RHS to outside of s/a/print/e -From: Brian S. Cashman <bsc@umich.edu> -Files patched: op.c - The syntax tree was being misconstructed because the compiler felt that - the RHS was invariant, so it did it outside the s///. - -NETaa13314: assigning mortal to lexical leaks -From: Larry Wall -Files patched: sv.c - In stealing strings, sv_setsv was checking SvPOK to see if it should free - the destination string. It should have been checking SvPVX. - -NETaa13316: wait4pid now recalled when errno == EINTR -From: Robert J. Pankratz -Files patched: pp_sys.c util.c - system() and the close() of a piped open now recall wait4pid if it returned - prematurely with errno == EINTR. - -NETaa13329: needed to localize taint magic -From: Brian Katzung -Files patched: sv.c doio.c mg.c pp_hot.c pp_sys.c scope.c taint.c - Taint magic is now localized better, though I had to resort to a kludge - to allow a value to be both tainted and untainted simultaneously during - the assignment of - - local $foo = $_[0]; - - when $_[0] is a reference to the variable $foo already. - -NETaa13341: clarified interaction of AnyDBM_File::ISA and "use" -From: Ian Phillipps -Files patched: pod/modpods/AnyDBMFile.pod - The doc was misleading. - -NETaa13342: grep and map with block would enter block but never leave it. -From: Ian Phillipps -Files patched: op.c - The compiler use some sort-checking code to handle the arguments of - grep and map. Unfortunately, this wiped out the block exit opcode while - leaving the block entry opcode. This doesn't matter to sort, but did - matter to grep and map. It now leave the block entry intact. - - The reason it worked without the my is because the block entry and exit - were optimized away to an OP_SCOPE, which it doesn't matter if it's there - or not. - -NETaa13343: goto needed to longjmp when in a signal handler. -From: Robert Partington -Files patched: pp_ctl.c - goto needed to longjmp() when in a signal handler to get back into the - right run() context. - - -NETaa13344: strict vars shouldn't apply to globs or filehandles. -From: Andrew Wilcox -Files patched: gv.c - Filehandles and globs will be excepted from "strict vars", so that you can - do the standard Perl 4 trick of - - use strict; - sub foo { - local(*IN); - open(IN,"file"); - } - - -NETaa13345: assert.pl didn't use package DB -From: Hans Mulder -Files patched: lib/assert.pl - Now it does. - -NETaa13348: av_undef didn't free scalar representing $#foo. -From: David Filo -Files patched: av.c - av_undef didn't free scalar representing $#foo. - -NETaa13349: sort sub accumulated save stack entries -From: David Filo -Files patched: pp_ctl.c - COMMON only gets set if assigning to @_, which is reasonable. Most of the - problem was a memory leak. - -NETaa13351: didn't treat indirect filehandles as references. -From: Andy Dougherty -Files patched: op.c - Now produces - - Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at ./foo line 3. - - -NETaa13352: OP_SCOPE allocated as UNOP rather than LISTOP. -From: Andy Dougherty -Files patched: op.c - -NETaa13353: scope() didn't release filegv on OP_SCOPE optimization. -From: Larry Wall -Files patched: op.c - When scope() nulled out a NEXTSTATE, it didn't release its filegv reference. - -NETaa13355: hv_delete now avoids useless mortalcopy -From: Larry Wall -Files patched: hv.c op.c pp.c pp_ctl.c proto.h scope.c util.c - hv_delete now avoids useless mortalcopy. - - -NETaa13359: comma operator section missing its heading -From: Larry Wall -Files patched: pod/perlop.pod - -NETaa13359: random typo -Files patched: pod/perldiag.pod - -NETaa13360: code to handle partial vec values was bogus. -From: Conrad Augustin -Files patched: pp.c - The code that Mark J. added a long time ago to handle values that were partially - off the end of the string was incorrect. - -NETaa13361: made it not interpolate inside regexp comments -From: Martin Jost -Files patched: toke.c - To avoid surprising people, it no longer interpolates inside regexp - comments. - -NETaa13362: ${q[1]} should be interpreted like it used to -From: Hans Mulder -Files patched: toke.c - Now resolves ${keyword[1]} to $keyword[1] and warns if -w. Likewise for {}. - -NETaa13363: meaning of repeated search chars undocumented in tr/// -From: Stephen P. Potter -Files patched: pod/perlop.pod - Documented that repeated characters use the first translation given. - -NETaa13365: if closedir fails, don't try it again. -From: Frank Crawford -Files patched: pp_sys.c - Now does not attempt to closedir a second time. - -NETaa13366: can't do block scope optimization on $1 et al when tainting. -From: Andrew Vignaux -Files patched: toke.c - The tainting mechanism assumes that every statement starts out - untainted. Unfortunately, the scope removal optimization for very - short blocks removed the statementhood of statements that were - attempting to read $1 as an untainted value, with the effect that $1 - appeared to be tainted anyway. The optimization is now disabled when - tainting and the block contains $1 (or equivalent). - -NETaa13366: fixed this a better way in toke.c. -Files patched: op.c - (same) - -NETaa13366: need to disable scope optimization when tainting. -Files patched: op.c - (same) - -NETaa13367: Did a SvCUR_set without nulling out final char. -From: "Rob Henderson" <robh@cs.indiana.edu> -Files patched: doop.c pp.c pp_sys.c - When do_vop set the length on its result string it neglected to null-terminate - it. - -NETaa13368: bigrat::norm sometimes chucked sign -From: Greg Kuperberg -Files patched: lib/bigrat.pl - The normalization routine was assuming that the gcd of two numbers was - never negative, and based on that assumption managed to move the sign - to the denominator, where it was deleted on the assumption that the - denominator is always positive. - -NETaa13368: botched previous patch -Files patched: lib/bigrat.pl - (same) - -NETaa13369: # is now a comment character, and \# should be left for regcomp. -From: Simon Parsons -Files patched: toke.c - It was not skipping the comment when it skipped the white space, and constructed - an opcode that tried to match a null string. Unfortunately, the previous - star tried to use the first character of the null string to optimize where - to recurse, so it never matched. - -NETaa13369: comment after regexp quantifier induced non-match. -Files patched: regcomp.c - (same) - -NETaa13370: some code assumed SvCUR was of type int. -From: Spider Boardman -Files patched: pp_sys.c - Did something similar to the proposed patch. I also fixed the problem that - it assumed the type of SvCUR was int.

Thus, - - my $y = 3; - my $y = $y; - print $y; - - should print 3.
