Burya opened his arms toward the soldier. `Yes it is true! With help from our allies of the Festival, the iron hand of the reactionary junta is about to be overthrown for all time! The new economy is being born; the marginal cost of production has been abolished, and from now on, if any item is produced once, it can be replicated infinitely. From each according to his imagination, to each according to his needs! Join us or better still, bring your fellow soldiers and workers to join us!' There was a sharp bang from the roof of the Corn Exchange, right at the climax of his impromptu speech; heads turned in alarm. Something had broken inside the spork factory and a stream of rainbow-hued plastic implements fountained toward the sky and clattered to the cobblestones on every side, like a harbinger of the postindustrial society to come.

'make test' showed a segfault in ext/XS-APItest/t/clone-with-stack.t. It seems to be caused by accessing already freed memory, it segfaults because I have MALLOC_PERTUBE_ set, thus glibc fills freed memory with some value. Digging deeper, it seems like perl_clone() does not fix the cx's blk_oldcop element when doing context cloning, thus blk_oldcop still points to the old interp and the POPBLOCK done in leavesub will copy the data from the old interp to PL_curcop. After fixing this, it still crashed because interp_dup-&gt;Iop was zero after the runops_standard() call (which is probably correct as the end of the BEGIN block was reached). So I also added an if statement that checks the pointer. So, is the attached patch correct or is that a bad way to fix this problem? Cheers, Michael. </pre> Michael Schroeder 2012-05-25T15:13:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl5.porters/109407 <pre>I hate the way classes/objects work. In particular, I think stashes of globs of other stuff is paradigm that fails, and I don't think I stand alone in that. We all know how much effort it is to work with them, even when abstractions are available that make them less inconvenient. It makes me wonder why we're sticking to it so badly? Perl has always had a very minimalistic definition definition of what an object is. To quote perltoot: There is nothing, absolutely nothing, about this that requires stashes (or for that matter, there's nothing that requires packages/classes either). What if we simply added a vtable to all objects when blessing? At its minimal, this vtable would only need to support two methods: fetchmethod and ref, though more may be prudent (meta would be an obvious one, clone and destroy may be useful too). I think this would allow us to add new paradigms in a sensible and extensible way, without breaking too many other things.

The first time the function is called, it constructs and caches a hash which contains a sub-hash for every code point that has an "interesting" casefold (there are only somewhat over a thousand such code points). I have found it useful in writing .t tests to have access to the entire data structure, so I've written a minimal function to return that, and have tentatively called it all_casefolds(). My question is: "Would this be a function that others would conceivably want to use, and hence should be documented"? If so, is there a better name? </pre> Karl Williamson 2012-05-24T18:42:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl5.porters/109332 <pre>Smoke logs available at http://m-l.org/~perl/smoke/perl/ Note: VirtualBox clock issues have been apparently fixed by host reboot/upgrade.

He has also made public the patches he applied to achieve this at http://svn.ali.as/cpan/trunk/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/share/perl-5.16-x86-64int/diffs_for_info_only/ Based on those patches, I created (in the win32 folder of the 5.16.0 source) a config.gc_64int that differed from config.gc as per the attached config.gc.diff, and a config_H.gc_64int that differed from config_H.gc as per the attached config_H.gc.diff: I also patched the win32/makefile.mk as per the attached makefile.mk.diff. I can then build either a -Duse64bitint or a -Uuse64bitint version of 32-bit perl for Windows (depending, of course, upon how I edit the new makefile). Is there any interest in having this capability built into the perl source for 5.18 ?

This goes especially for features that take longer to develop and include multiple commits. If everyone grows accustomed to working with branches, it should be easier to happily survive "code freeze"* and to keep temporarily-on-hold features working by regular rebasing. If we're particularly industrious this year, perhaps we can get a pu branch distinct from blead, which currently acts like pu, but without the freedom to flush it and start over. * After all, code freeze doesn't mean nobody can write any code. It means nobody should putting new code into blead. That's all. </pre> Ricardo Signes 2012-05-21T15:18:47 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl5.porters
