PATCH: [perl #116899]: jump on uninitialised value
The culprit had nothing to do really with the accuesed commit.
The function S_cl_or() tries to take the union of the code points
matched by its two inputs. Both of those nodes must be ANYOF-like
(for bracketed character classes and synthetic start classes). These
come in two flavors, one having extra fields in the struct after the
other one's. That is used for locale ANYOFs and the synthetic start
class. The first paramter to cl_or() is always one of these extended
ANYOFS, but the second parameter may be the shorter form
The function was failing to check if the second one was the longer form
before reading data from beyond the short-form's struct. This could
cause a segfault, but that wasn't the symptom here. Instead it copied
that data to the other paramter's struct. valgrind had set that data to
indicate it was uninitialized, so when later it was accessed, we got
this error.
During much of the 5.17 series until the failing commit, more ANYOF
nodes were the larger size. I presume that is why this commit showed up
the problem.

Abolish STRANGE_MALLOC. Now all malloc()s are considered strange :-)
STRANGE_MALLOC was added in 5.002 beta 1 (
4633a7c4bad06b47) as part of an
work around for typical mallocs, which had a bad interaction with perl's
allocation needs. Specifically, repeatedly extending an array and then
creating SV heads (such as when reading lines of a file into an array)
could end up with each reallocation for the array being unable to extend in
place, needing a fresh chunk of memory, and the released memory not being
suitable for use as more SV heads, so sitting unused. The solution was for
perl to recycle the old array body as SV heads, instead of returning it to
the system, passing the memory from the the AV code to the SV code using
offer_nice_chunk(), PL_nice_chunk and PL_nice_chunk_size.
STRANGE_MALLOC was actually a signal that the malloc() didn't need
protecting from itself, and to disable the work around.
offer_nice_chunk(), PL_nice_chunk and PL_nice_chunk_size were removed by
commit
9a87bd09eea1d037 in Nov 2010, without any ill effects, hence the
code used when STRANGE_MALLOC was *not* defined is essentially doing extra
work for no benefits.
From the lack of problems reported, one can assume that in the intervening
15 years malloc technology has got significantly improved, and it is probably
better to be honest with it, rather than trying to second guess it.
Hence remove all the non-STRANGE_MALLOC code, and leave everyone using the
much simpler code. See also

Fix [perl #116523] Configure is confused by '=' in output from uname -a
Previously, Configure used to try to post-process the output of uname -a.
This was to support Xenix, which gave output like this:
sysname=XENIX
nodename=whatever
release=2.3.2 .. etc...
Configure attempted to parse that output and build up a $myuname variable
that resembled those generated on traditional Unix systems.
More recently, a user reported uname -a output on a CVS checkout
of NetBSD that also included information such as
root=username@hostname:/dirname module=src branch=HEAD
The Configure code misparsed that and ended up throwing most of it away.
This patch takes the simplest approach and just skips the attempt to
process the Xenix output.

Extend t/porting/diag.t to cover code in DynaLoader.
This seems a reasonable extension to cover, as it's arguably part of the
core, because it has to be linked into the perl executable, and handled
differently from everything else, even "static" extensions.
This reveals that DynaLoader can generate a previously undocumented warning,
so document this.

t/porting/diag.t now reads files from MANIFEST, instead of scanning the disk.
This does less work, and avoids both files duplicated by the build system,
and false positives due to temporary files left by developers.

Make extended filename syntax the default on VMS.
This feature has been available for over a decade but is still not
the default for the CRTL. It seems time to make it the default
for Perl. It means that directory names can have dots in them,
and filenames can contain multiple dots as well as spaces and
generally characters from the top row of the keyboard while the
shift key is held down.
Filenames with native syntax must escape characters in the so-called
extended character set with a caret ("^"), but filenames in Unix
syntax must not have the escapes. Conversions between native and
Unix syntax will, respectively, add and remove these escapes.
Supporting Unicode in filenames depends on this feature but has
not yet been investigated.
Craig A. Berry [Fri, 15 Feb 2013 00:10:55 +0000 (18:10 -0600)]
Make readdir on VMS only unixify when asked.
We've been making our home-grown readdir implementation convert
all its results to Unix format since
a096370a74e8. Since readdir
returns relative paths, the usual volume and directory syntax
differences that distinguish VMS and Unix paths don't really apply.
But what does apply is whether the escaping of extended characters
is passed through or removed, and converting to Unix syntax removes
those escapes. In order to enable extended filename syntax, though,
we're really going to need the escapes. For example, rmdir will
not be able to remove a directory foo.bar if it's referred to as
[.foo.bar] because a dot is the traditional directory delimiter.
The directory needs to be specified as [.foo^.bar] for rmdir to
delete it successfully.
So make readdir return filespecs in native format unless explicitly
requested to report all filenames in Unix format.

Help ExtUtils::Manifest deal with VMS extended filespecs.
For one thing, if we're cleaning up filenames, lets put that code
in the sub called 'clean_up_filename' rather than in manifind. And
since the language of the MANIFEST is really Unix-format filespecs,
convert to those. This becomes especially important in handling
extended filespecs because unixification also unescapes escaped
characters.
Craig A. Berry [Thu, 14 Feb 2013 23:28:38 +0000 (17:28 -0600)]
Make unixify unescape filespecs already in Unix format.
Sometimes filename components get pasted together in ways that put
a component with caret escapes proper to Extended Filename Syntax
(EFS) for native filespecs into a Unix-format filespec. An example
would be /a/b/foo^_bar, where the '^_' sequence indicates a space
in a native filespec but is technically invalid in a Unix
filespec.
But it doesn't really cost much more to remove the escapes since
we're copying the whole string anyway, so go ahead and do that.
This could theoretically cause trouble if we get Unix-format paths
that have literal carets in them, but that theoretical trouble is
currently less troubling than the practical trouble that crops up
various places in the test suite if we don't do this.
