Patch for embed.pl when !EMBED && !MULTIPLICITY
Nick Ing-Simmons [Thu, 21 Nov 1996 15:47:46 +0000 (15:47 +0000)]
"static" call to UNIVERSAL::can
Is there some reason why 'can' does not allow a class name,
but (silently) insists on an instance?
I wanted to do this :
sub Construct
{
my $class = (caller(0))[0];
if ($class->can('Something'))
{
...
}
else
{
...
}
}
can just returns undef in this case, even if class has method in
question.
Anyone object to a patch?

CORE LANGUAGE CHANGES
Subject: Bitwise op sign rationalization
From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net>
Files: op.c opcode.pl pod/perlop.pod pod/perltoc.pod pp.c pp.h pp_hot.c proto.h sv.c t/op/bop.t
Make bitwise ops result in unsigned values, unless C<use
integer> is in effect. Includes initial support for UVs.
Subject: Defined scoping for C<my> in control structures
From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net>
Files: op.c perly.c perly.c.diff perly.h perly.y proto.h toke.c
Finally defines semantics of "my" in control expressions,
like the condition of "if" and "while". In all cases, scope
of a "my" var extends to the end of the entire control
structure. Also adds new construct "for my", which
automatically declares the control variable "my" and limits
its scope to the loop.
Subject: Fix ++/-- after int conversion (e.g. 'printf "%d"')
From: Chip Salzenberg <chip@atlantic.net>
Files: pp.c pp_hot.c sv.c
This patch makes Perl correctly ignore SvIVX() if either
NOK or POK is true, since SvIVX() may be a truncated or

File mode under OS/2 is not what you expect. However, this has
nothing to do with databases, _and_ there is a test
for this in stat.t (which dutifully fails). There is
no point to consider this behaviour as a bug in
database code.
So OS/2 is special-cased in these tests.

This broke between 5.001n and 5.002. There was a long winded thread
about sorting undefs in some order (rather than coredumping) around
the 5.002beta times (search for "bogorefs" in the subject-line on
p5p archive for details). Larry added in some code that presumes that
the private flags are set by the time qsort() is called:
Unfortunately, sv_2pv() does not set the POKp flag, so the above
code breaks! Here's a patch against 5.00306.

PATCH: untaint method for IO::Handle, 5.003_06 version
This is a re-post of my patch to Graham's IO library to add a method in
IO::Handle called "untaint", that sets the IOf_UNTAINT flag on an object
that is of or inherits from IO::Handle. With this flag set, data read from
said handle is not tainted, whether running under -T, suid or sgid.
This patch adds the method to IO.xs, adds documentation and warning to the
pod of IO/Handle.pm, creates a new test in t/lib called io_taint.t, and
adds mention of the new file to MANIFEST.

Pod typos, pod2man bugs, and miscellaneous installation comments
Here is a patch for various typos and other defects in the Perl
5.003_05 pods, including the pods embedded in library modules.
Bugs found in pod2man
The following bugs were noticed, and some fixed:
1. Where a L<> link extends over more than one line, pod2man does not
treat it as a link but displays it literally, and so these have been
rearranged to place the link on one line. This is the only bug worked
around. [Fixed; the rearrangements, which were done beforehand,
remain in some cases, but are no longer necessary, and pod paragraphs
can now be safely reformatted to whatever width is desired in the pod,
without breaking links.]
2. It seems to swallow spaces after certain links: for example, part
of the "open" entry in the perlfunc manpage comes out as "the
\f(CWbinmode\fR entry elsewhere in this documentfor tips", the source
having been "L</binmode> for tips". [Fixed.]
3. 'L</"Pass by Reference">', in perlsub.pod, comes out as '\fI/"Pass
by Reference\fR', that is, with an initial '/"'.
4. If a pod line begins with ".", nothing is done to prevent [tng]roff
from treating it as a [tng]roff instruction.
5. When the paragraph below =head1 NAME has more than one line, this
confuses pod2man: so in the case of Term::Readline, the manpage begins
with a stray line 'no real package is found, substitutes stubs instead
of basic functions."'.
Of course, it would be better to fix pod2man; I hope that the new Pod
modules, when ready, will not have these defects.
