Fixes to allow win32 Perl to properly handle PERL5LIB.

On Windows Vista, 7 and 2008, the win32 API call
GetEnvironmentVariableA() does not return environment values
with string length of greater than 32766, even though
such variables are supported in the environment.

This consequently caused @INC not to be populated for
such values of PERL5LIB on those OSes, as reported in
RT #87322.

This commit reworks the code so that GetEnvironmentStrings()
is called if GetEnvironmentVariableA() indicates the requested
value is set in the environmtn.  The old fallback of consulting
the registry for variables beginning with "PERL" is retained, but
as a last-ditch fallback rather than the only recourse.

A new test file, t/win32/runenv.t has been added to validate
that the new behavior is working properly, as well as that
general environment variable handling is in accordance with
expectations, since t/run/runenv.t does not run on Win* platforms.

t/run/runenv.t, with modifications to test cases to run properly

Perl_rpeep: undo tail recursion optimisation

commit 3c78429c102e0fe2ad30c60dfe52636b6071ef19 reduced the depth
of recursion in rpeep(), by deferring recursion into branches until a bit
later (so that the recursive call to rpeep was then likely to be shallow).
However, it went one step further: when the chain of op_next's had been
exhausted in the main loop, it processed any remaining deferrred branches
in the main loop rather than recursing. All nice and efficient, but it
broke the expectation that someone who had hooked into rpeep could follow
the chain of op_nexts in each call and visit *all* ops.

This commit removes that optimisation and restores the rpeep hook
expectancy. This shouldn't have any major effect on the depth of
recursion, and its minor inefficiency doesn't really matter for a

(?{...}) deliberately doesn't introduce a new scope (so that the affects of
local() can accumulate across multiple calls to the code). This also means
that the SAVEt_CLEARSVs pushed onto the save stack by lexical declarations
(i.e. (?{ my $x; ... }) also accumulate, and are only processed en-mass at

the wrong pad (the caller of the pattern, rather than the pads of the
individual code block(s)), leading to random misbehaviour and SEGVs.

Hence the long-standing advice to avoid lexical declarations within
re_evals.

We fix this by wrapping a pair of SAVECOMPPADs around each call to a code
block. Eventually the save stack will be a long accumulation of

accumulate) for each code call.

Change was_lvalue_sub back to X; spell out the only use of it

OK, now I understand what’s happening.

If there is a public macro (PUSHSUB) that contains a call to a pri-
vate function (was_lvalue_sub), that function has to be exported, so
that non-core code can call it.  But if it is marked X, there is no
was_lvalue_sub shorthand macro visible to non-core code, so when the
PUSHSUB macro is expanded in such code, the was_lvalue_sub(...) bit
becomes a call to the function literally named was_lvalue_sub, as
opposed to Perl_lvalue_sub (and is compiled that way on forgiving
platforms).  Making it A makes that macro available to non-core code,
but also implies that it is available for direct use by extensions,
which is not the case with was_lvalue_sub.

So, this commit makes it X again, but spells it out in PUSHSUB, so
there is no need for the function’s macro to be available when
PUSHSUB is expanded.

Hence, there is no need for the was_lvalue_sub macro to exist, so this
commit also removes it.

13 years agomake peep optimiser recurse mostly only shallowly
David Mitchell [Tue, 5 Jul 2011 14:53:34 +0000 (15:53 +0100)]
make peep optimiser recurse mostly only shallowly

Long blocks of code that include logical or loop ops (i.e. those with
multiple 'branches' of ops, such as op_other, op_redo etc) cause
Perl_rpeep to recurse deeply and eventaully SEGV.

For example this crashes, due to the ENTERLOOP:

    eval ("{\$x = 1 }\n" x 10000)

The deep recursion happens because the processing of the entire rest of
the code occurs in within the nested call. For example in the code

    A && B; C; D; E;

the ops are structured as

A -> AND -> C -> D -> E
       \   /
         B

where AND->op_next points to C, while AND->op_other points to B.
rpeep() would normally process each op in the op_next sequence in turn
(i.e. A/AND/C/D/E), but when it reaches AND, it recursively calls
rpeep(B), which happens to then process B/C/D/E. Finally it returns,
and the parent rpeep processes C, finds it's already done, and exits.

Clearly, if C,D,E etc also contain conditional/loop ops, then the
recursion level gradually stacks up.

The fix for this is to add a small deferred queue to rpeep().
Whenever rpeep wants to recurse with op_other or op_lastop etc,
it instead adds it to the deferred queue. Only if the queue is full is
rpeep actually called. The hope is that by deferring, when we do
eventually process it, enough of the main op_next chain has already been
processed to ensure that the child rpeep returns very early.

In the example above, processing of AND causes B to be added to the queue,
and the main rpeep process continues processing C, D etc. Sometime later,
the queue becomes full and B is processed via a recursive call to rpeep.
B is processed, and op_next is followed to C, but C is marked as already
processed, so the child rpeep returns almost immediately.

For LOOP ops, I've stopped following op_redoop and op_nextop, since
AFAIKT the ops these point to will also be reachable vie op_next anyway.
op_lastop is the exception; in while(1){..} only op_lastop points to the
rest of the code block.

Note that this commit doesn't guarantee only shallow recursion, it just
makes deep recursion fairly unlikely.

Note also that this commit causes the order of the processing of op_next
chains to be altered; this can affect the ordering of compiler warnings
and fatal messages among potentially other things.
