+ regcomp: Disallow multi-char folds in lookbehind
+
+ The addition of the ANYOFV regnode to treat multi-char folds in a bracketed
+ character class has exposed a bug, in which those classes have long been
able
+ to be varying length (due to the multi-char fold), but the compiler wasn't
+ aware of it. Now it is, and hence won't allow those which have multi-char
+ folds to be part of a lookbehind pattern, which requires a constant length.
+
+ This patch disallows multi-char folds in a lookbehind bracketed character
+ class.

+
+ regex: Separate nodes for Unicode semantics \s \w
+
+ This patch converts the \s, \w and complements Unicode semantics to
+ instead of using the flags field of their nodes to instead use separate
+ nodes. This gains some efficiency, especially useful in tight loops and
+ backtracking of regexec.c, and prepares the way for easily adding other
+ semantic variations, such as /a.
+
+ It refactors the CCC_TRY... macros. I tried to break this piece up into
+ smaller chunks, but found it much easier to get to this in one step.
+ Further patches will do some more refactoring of these.
+
+ As part of the CCC_TRY macro refactoring, the lines that include the
+ test if (! nextchr) are changed to just look for the end-of-string by
+ position instead of it being NUL. In locales, it could be (however
+ unlikely), that NUL is a real alphabetic, digit, or space character.

+ CH] Change usage of regex/op common to common names
+
+ This patch changes the core functions to use the common names for the
+ fields that are shared between op.c and regcomp.c, just for consistency
+ of using one name throughout the core for the same thing.
+
+ A grep of cpan shows that both names are used in various modules; so
+ both names must be retained.

+
+ Use multi-bit field for regex character set
+
+ The /d, /l, and /u regex modifiers are mutually exclusive. This patch
+ changes the field that stores the character set to use more than one bit
+ with an enum determining which one. This data structure more
+ closely follows the semantics of their being mutually exclusive, and
+ conserves bits as well, and is better expandable.
+
+ A small API is added to set and query the bit field.
+
+ This patch is not .xs source backwards compatible. A handful of cpan

+
+ Fix \xa0 matching both [\s] [\S], et.al.
+
+ This bug stemmed from Latin1 characters not matching any (non-complemented)
+ character class in /d semantics when the target string is no utf8; but
having
+ unicode semantics when it isn't. The solution here is to add a special
flag.
+
+ There were several tests that relied on the broken behavior, specifically
they
+ tested that \xff isn't a printable word character even in utf8. I changed
the
+ deparse test to instead use a non-printable code point, and I changed the
ones
+ in re_tests to be TODOs, and will change them back using /a when that is
+ shortly added.
+
+
+SECURITY
+
+ restrict \p{IsUserDefined} to In\w+ and In\w+
+
+ In L<perlunicode/"User-Defined Character Properties">, it says you can
+ create custom properties by defining subroutines whose names begin with
+ "In" or "Is". However, perl doesn't actually enforce that naming
+ restriction, so \p{foo::bar} will call foo::Bar() if it exists.
+
+ This commit finally enforces this convention. Note that this broke a
+ number of existing tests for properties, since they didn't always use an
+ Is/In prefix.
+
+TESTING
+
+ test that perl.pod, pod.lst, MANIFEST and the file system are consistent

+
+ regex: Use ANYOFV
+
+ This patch restructures the regex ANYOF code to generate ANYOFV nodes
instead
+ when there is a possibility that it could match more than one character.
Note
+ that this doesn't affect the optimizer, as it essentially ignores things
that
+ fit into this category. (But it means that the optimizer will no longer
reject
+ these when it shouldn't have.)
+
+ The handling of the LATIN SHARP s is modified to correspond with this new
node
+ type.
+
+ The initial handling of ANYOFV is placed in regexec.c. More analysis will
come
+ on that. But there was significant change to the part that handles
matching
+ multi-char strings. This has long been buggy, with it previously
comparing a
+ folded-version on one side with a non-folded version on the other.
+
+ This patch fixes about 60% of the problems that my undelivered test suite
gives
+ for multi-char folds. But there are still 17K test failures left, so I'm
still
+ not delivering that. The TODOs that this fixes will be cleaned up in a
later commit

+
+ ithread_create() was relying on the stack not moving. Fix this.
+
+ 4cf5eae5e58faebb changed S_ithread_create() to avoid creating an AV, by
+ passing the thread creation arguments as pointers to a block of memory
+ holding SVs. Unfortunately, this inadvertently introduced a subtle bug,
+ because the block of memory is on the Perl stack, which can move as a side
+ effect of being reallocated to extend it. Hence pass in the offset on the
+ stack instead, read the current value of the relevant interpreter's stack
+ at the point of access, and copy all the SVs away before making any further
+ calls which might cause reallocation.

+
+ Previously, if all of gethost{byaddr,byname,ent} were unimplemented on a
+ platform, they would all return 'Unsupported socket function "gethostent"
+ called', with the analogous results for getnet{byaddr,byname,ent},
+ getproto{byname,bynumber,ent} and getserv{byname,byport,ent}. This bug was
+ introduced by change af51a00e97d5c559 - prior to this, all 12 functions
would
+ report their own name when unimplemented.

+
+ utf8.c(): Default to allow problematic code points
+
+ Surrogates, non-character code points, and code points that aren't in
Unicode
+ are now allowed by default, instead of having to specify a flag to allow
them.
+ (Most code did specify those flags anyway.)
+
+ This affects uvuni_to_utf8_flags(), utf8n_to_uvuni() and various routines
that
+ are specialized interfaces to them.
+
+ Now there is a new set of flags to disallow those code points. Further,
all 66
+ of the non-character code points are known about and handled consistently,
+ instead of just U+FFFF.
+
+ Code that requires these code points to be forbidden will have to change
to use
+ the new flags. I have looked at all the (few) instances in CPAN where
these
+ routines are used, and the only one I found that appears to have need to do
+ this, Encode, has already been patched to accommodate this change. Of
course,
+ I may have overlooked some subtleties.

+ Add Perl::OSType as a dual-life core module
+
+ This commit adds Perl::OSType 1.002 as a dual-life module. It maps Perl
+ operating system names (e.g. 'dragonfly' or 'MSWin32') to more generic
+ types with standardized names (e.g. "Unix" or "Windows"). It has been
+ refactored out of Module::Build and ExtUtils::CBuilder and consolidates
+ such mappings into a single location for easier maintenance.

+ [perl #81032] Overhaul Porting/epigraphs.pod
+
+ This patch makes multiple changes to Porting/epigraphs.pod and
+ pod/perlhist.pod.
+
+ For those that don't know, Porting/epigraphs.pod is a new document that
+ collects the quotes (chosen by Pumpkins) in perl release announcements.
+
+ The changes are the following.
+
+ 1. Add a link pointing to each release announcement in the mailing
+ list archives. These are from ysth's list, the source from which
+ Porting/epigraphs.pod was originally compiled, but they weren't in
+ Porting/epigraphs.pod so far.
+ 2. Reorder Porting/epigraphs.pod chronologically, because I believe
+ that makes more sense -- pod/perlhist.pod is still sorted by version
numbers.
+ 3. Incidentally, some missing releases are added to pod/perlhist.pod too.
+ 4. Fix a mistake where Porting/epigraphs.pod gives the wrong version
number.
+ 5. Add some epigraphs that appear in ysth's list but not in
+ Porting/epigraphs.pod.
+ 6. I did some research in perl history before the part that ysth's list
+ covers, and added older perl announcements I found. This work is not
+ complete: I stopped somewhere in 2000.

+ [perl #36347] Object destruction incomplete
+
+ do_clean_objs only looks for objects referenced by RVs, so blessed
+ array references and lexical variables (and probably other SVs, too)
+ are not DESTROYed.
+
+ This commit adds a new visit() call to sv_clean_objs, which curses
+ (DESTROYs and un-blesses, leaving the reference count as it is) any
+ objects that are still left after do_clean_named_io_objs. The new
+ do_curse routine (a pointer to which is passeds to visit()) follows
+ do_clean_named_io_objsâ example and explicitly skips the STDOUT and
+ STDERR handles, in case destructors need to use them.
+
+ The cursing code, which is now called from two places, is moved out of
+ sv_clear and put in its own routine. The check that the reference
+ count is zero does not apply when called from sv_clean_objs, so the
+ new S_curse routine takes a boolean argument that determines whether
+ that check should take place.

+ make <expr> always overload if expr is overloaded
+
+ Due to the way that '<> as glob' was parsed differently from

+ This was contrary to the docs for overload, and meant that <> couldn't

+
+ Better handling of magic methods freeing the SV
+
+ This is a fix for RT #81230 (and more). Currently, mg_get() works around
+ the case where the called magic (e.g. FETCH) frees the magic SV. It does
+ this by unconditionally pushing the SV on the tmps stack before invoking
+ the method.
+
+ There are two issues with this. Firstly, it may artificially extend the
+ life of the SV. This was the root of the problem with #81230. There, the
+ DB_File code, under -T, created a tainted tied object. Accessing the
+ object (within FETCH as it happens), caused mg_get() to be invoked on the
+ object (due to the taint magic), and thus extend the life of the object.
+ This then caused c<untie %h if $h{k}> to give the warning
+ untie attempted while 1 inner references still exist.
+ This only became noticeable after efaf36747029c85b4d8825318cb4d485a0bb350e,
+ which stopped wrapping magic method calls in SAVETMPS/FREETMPS.
+
+ The second issue issue that this protection only applies to mg_get();
+ functions like mg_set() can still segfault if the SV is deleted.
+
+ This commit fixes both problems as follows:
+
+ First, the protection mechanism is moved out of mg_get() and into
+ save_magic() / restore_magic(), so that it protects more things.
+ Secondly, the protection is now:
+
+ * in save_magic(), SvREFCNT_inc() the SV, thus protecting it from being
+ freed during FETCH (or whatever)
+
+ * in restore_magic(), SvREFCNT_dec() the SV, undoing the protection
+ without extending the life of the SV, *except* if the refcount is
+ 1 (ie FETCH tried to free it), then push it on the mortals stack
+ to extend it life a bit so our callers wont choke on it.

precedent
