Make -l always treat non-bareword arguments as file names
Here is some suspicious code in Perl_my_lstat_flags:
if (SvROK(sv) && isGV_with_GP(SvRV(sv)) && ckWARN(WARN_IO)) {
Perl_warner(aTHX_ packWARN(WARN_IO), "Use of -l on filehandle %s",
GvENAME((const GV *)SvRV(sv)));
return (PL_laststatval = -1);
}
The behaviour differs depending on whether warnings are enabled.
That -1 turns into undef in pp_ftlink. So we get an undef return
value with warnings on, but a file test on a file name otherwise.
In 5.6.2, -l $foo always treated $foo as a file name.
In 5.8+, if it is a reference (ignoring magic) and the reference
points to a typeglob (ignoring magic) and io warnings are on, it warns
and returns undef.
So the only time that undef return is reached is when a warning has
been emitted, so it’s code that will likely be corrected before it
goes into production. Hence I think it unlikely that anyone could be
relying on the behaviour of -l \*foo (under warnings).
So this commit restores the 5.6 behaviour for that case.

Make stacked -l work
Perl 5.10.0 introduced stacked filetest operators,
-x -r $foo
being equivalent to
-r $foo && -x _
That does not work with -l. It was these suspicious lines in
Perl_my_lstat_flags that drew my attention to it:
> else if (PL_laststype != OP_LSTAT
> && (PL_op->op_private & OPpFT_STACKED) && ckWARN(WARN_IO))
> Perl_croak(aTHX_ no_prev_lstat);
That croak only happens when warnings are on. Warnings are just
supposed to be warnings, unless the ‘user’ explicitly requests
fatal warnings.
$ perl -le 'print "foo", -l -e "miniperl"'
foo
$ perl -lwe 'print "foo", -l -e "miniperl"'
The stat preceding -l _ wasn't an lstat at -e line 1.
That it doesn’t die in the first example is a bug.
In fact, it’s using the return value of -e as a file name:
$ ln -s miniperl 1
$ ./miniperl -le 'print -l -e "miniperl"'
1
And, with warnings on, if the preceding stat *was* an lstat, it
falls back to the pre-stacked behaviour, just as it does when warn-
ings are off.
It’s meant to be equivalent to -e "miniperl" && -l _ (which is why the
error message above says ‘The stat preceding -l _’).

Make IO::Handle::getline(s) respect the open pragma
See <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=66474>. Also, this
came up in <https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=92728>.
The <> operator, when reading from the magic ARGV handle, automatic-
ally opens the next file. Layers set by the lexical open pragma are
applied, if they are in scope at the point where <> is used.
This works almost all the time, because the common convention is:
use open ":utf8";
while(<>) {
...
}
IO::Handle’s getline and getlines methods are Perl subroutines
that call <> themselves. But that happens within the scope of
IO/Handle.pm, so the caller’s I/O layer settings are ignored. That
means that these two expressions are not equivalent within in a
‘use open’ scope:
<>
*ARGV->getline
The latter will open the next file with no layers applied.
This commit solves that by putting PL_check hooks in place in
IO::Handle before compiling the getline and getlines subroutines.
Those hooks cause every state op (nextstate, or dbstate under the
debugger) to have a custom pp function that saves the previous value
of PL_curcop, calls the default pp function, and then restores
PL_curcop.
That means that getline and getlines run with the caller’s compile-
time hints. Another way to see it is that getline and getlines’s own
lexical hints are never activated.
(A state op carries all the lexical pragmata. Every statement
has one. When any op executes, it’s ‘pp’ function is called.
pp_nextstate and pp_dbstate both set PL_curcop to the op itself. Any
code that checks hints looks at PL_curcop, which contains the current
run-time hints.)

perldelta for h2ph conditional sub fix
Lukas Mai [Sat, 17 Sep 2011 16:31:00 +0000 (18:31 +0200)]
don't redefine macrosubs in .ph
h2ph generates code of the form
unless(defined(&FOO)) {
sub FOO () {42;}
}
for a C macro like '#define FOO 42'.
The problem with that: 'sub' happens at compile time, 'unless' at runtime.
So the sub is unconditionally defined first, then the unless runs with
an empty body. This behavior was introduced in commit
3d271ce79d39df56470393916b3d33ff26db2c8b (the syntax errors there were
fixed in commit
4a8e146e38ec2045f1f817a7cb578e1b1f80f39f).
There are already two code paths there, one for indentation level > 0
(eval), the other for toplevel definitions (straight sub). This patch
unifies them to always use 'eval' / runtime definitions. This change
shortens the code and makes the conditions actually work.
It moves the check for '#define FOO FOO' further up because I don't
see why it only needs to be done if indentation == 0. I changed the
comparison to use a whitespace-agnostic regex because
'" \&$name" eq $new' looks too brittle (the redundant \ doesn't help).

Make goto &CORE::sub use the right lexical scope
Since goto &foo is supposed to replace the current sub call, as though
foo had been called instead, logically foo should see the same lexical
hints that would have been seen if it had been called to begin with.
Regular Perl subs begin with nextstate ops, so they have their own
lexical scopes, but CORE:: subs see the caller’s PL_curcop. They lack
a nextstate precisely so that they run in the caller’s scope, just as
though a built-in function had been called.
For Perl subs (as opposed to XSUBs), goto-&sub was not reset-
ting PL_curcop to the caller’s value, but leaving as it was, so
goto &CORE::sub would cause the CORE sub to run with the lexical hints
of the subroutine in replaced, instead of that sub’s caller.
This was never a problem until CORE subs came along, as they look like
Perl subs to the internals (they have an op tree and are flagged as
such), but comprise a sequence of ops that can never result from com-
piling Perl source code.
The simple one-line fix is to set PL_curcop in pp_goto for Perl subs
as well as XSUBs. (For XSUBs it is implied by POPBLOCK.)

Disallow weakening of read-only references

SvREFCNT is true. So there is no new reference to the dead object;
it’s just the refcount that’s off.

$_[0]’s reference count is normally lowered manually by sv_clear, to
avoid a recursive call to sv_clear (as lowering the reference count
normally triggers that). If the variable has been weakened, then
$_[0] no longer holds a reference count. sv_clear proceeds to destroy
at, as its reference count is 1 (held by $x), causing $x to point to a
freed scalar. Not good.

[perl #92436] Make Filter::Simple match variables better
(This is the second bug reported in ticket #92436.)
Filter::Simple was using Text::Balanced’s extract_variable, which
...extracts any valid Perl variable or variable-
involved expression, including scalars, arrays, hashes, array
accesses, hash look-ups, method calls through objects, subrou-
tine calls through subroutine references, etc.
So it extracts things like $x->foo("blah lbah blah"). That means
that, when the user of Filter::Simple asks for everything except
strings, "blah lbah blah" is passed through anyway, because
Filter::Simple things it’s part of a variable name. That obviously
doesn’t work.
This commit makes Filter::Simple use a regular expression for varia-
bles, as it does for other things. It’s certainly not foolproof, but
Filter::Simple in general is not foolproof, and this regular expres-
sion is actually less foolproof than most parts of Filter::Simple. So
it’s a step in the right direction (unless you consider deletion to be
the right direction).

Change Storable's code.t to serialise a subroutine under our control.
The test originally testing serialising and deserialising \&Test::ok. When
the test was converted from Test.pm to Test::More in 2009, it was changed to
use \&Test::More::ok. However, this turns out to be "works on my machine".
Test::More::ok from Test::Simple 0.61 onwards (2005,
b1ddf16980125497) will
deserialise correctly. The previous implementation of Test::More::ok uses a
lexical from an outer scope. Hence the textual representation of the
subroutine (in isolation) fails to deserialise, because it's not valid under
strict, because there is no visible declaration of the lexical.
Hence switch to testing a large subroutine under our control, _store(), to
avoid unpleasant surprises from dependencies we were not even aware of.
The comment "large scalar" dates from the original test using \&Test::ok.
It's not clear which large scalar it refers to.

Restore 5.004 and 5.005 support in Storable.
Add XSLoader as a prerequisite.
Use parentheses for the call to XSLoader::load().
Don't pass parameters that old ExtUtil::MakeMaker doesn't understand.
Avoid the T_BOOL typemap, as xsubpp will always mortalise the SV generated
by processing RETVAL, T_BOOL generates the SV using boolSV() which returns
PL_sv_yes or PL_sv_no, and on 5.004 Perl_sv_2mortal() will croak if passed
a readonly scalar. This is actually a small optimisation on later perls, as
the call to Perl_sv_2mortal() isn't actually needed.
Avoid repeating the PPCODE by merging last_op_in_netorder() with
is_storing() and is_retrieving(). (Which I didn't spot was easy to do
when commit
7cb18e1b020cd2e5 merged is_storing() and is_retrieving().)
Together these reduce the size of the shared object by about 200 bytes on
this platform. Small, but in the right direction.
