PATCH: [perl #56444] delayed interpolation of \N{...}
make regen embed.fnc
needs to be run on this patch.
This patch fixes Bugs #56444 and #62056.
Hopefully we have finally gotten this right. The parser used to handle
all the escaped constants, expanding \x2e to its single byte equivalent.
The problem is that for regexp patterns, this is a '.', which is a
metacharacter and has special meaning that \x2e does not. So things
were changed so that the parser didn't expand things in patterns. But
this causes problems for \N{NAME}, when the pattern doesn't get
evaluated until runtime, as for example when it has a scalar reference
in it, like qr/$foo\N{NAME}/. We want the value for \N{NAME} that was
in effect at the point during the parsing phase that this regex was
encountered in, but we don't actually look at it until runtime, when
these bug reports show that it is gone. The solution is for the
tokenizer to parse \N{NAME}, but to compile it into an intermediate
value that won't ever be considered a metacharacter. We have chosen to
compile NAME to its equivalent code point value, and express it in the
already existing \N{U+...} form. This indicates to the regex compiler
that the original input was a named character and retains the value it
had at that point in the parse.
This means that \N{U+...} now always must imply Unicode semantics for
the string or pattern it appeared in. Previously there was an
inconsistency, where effectively \N{NAME} implied Unicode semantics, but
\N{U+...} did not necessarily. So now, any string or pattern that has
either of these forms is utf8 upgraded.
A complication is that a charnames handler can return a sequence of
multiple characters instead of just one. To deal with this case, the
tokenizer will generate a constant of the form \N{U+c1.c2.c2...}, where
c1 etc are the individual characters. Perhaps this will be made a
public interface someday, but I decided to not expose it externally as
far as possible for now in case we find reason to change it. It is
possible to defeat this by passing it in a single quoted string to the
regex compiler, so the documentation will be changed to discourage that.
A further complication is that \N can have an additional meaning: to
match a non-newline. This means that the two meanings have to be
disambiguated.
embed.fnc was changed to make public the function regcurly() in
regcomp.c so that it could be referred to in toke.c to see if the ... in
\N{...} is a legal quantifier like {2,}. This is used in the
disambiguation.
toke.c was changed to update some out-dated relevant comments.
It now parses \N in patterns. If it determines that it isn't a named
sequence, it passes it through unchanged. This happens when there is no
brace after the \N, or no closing brace, or if the braces enclose a
legal quantifier. Previously there has been essentially no restriction
on what can come between the braces so that a custom translator can
accept virtually anything. Now, legal quantifiers are assumed to mean
that the \N is a "match non-newline that quantity of times".
I removed the #ifdef'd out code that had been left in in case pack U
reverted to earlier behavior. I did this because it complicated things,
and because the change to pack U has been in long enough and shown that
it is correct so it's not likely to be reverted.
\N meaning a named character is handled differently depending on whether
this is a pattern or not. In all cases, the output will be upgraded to
utf8 because a named character implies Unicode semantics. If not a
pattern, the \N is parsed into a utf8 string, as before. Otherwise it
will be parsed into the intermediate \N{U+...} form. If the original
was already a valid \N{U+...} constant, it is passed through unchanged.
I now check that the sequence returned by the charnames handler is not
malformed, which was lacking before.
The code in regcomp.c which dealt with interfacing with the charnames
handler has been removed. All the values should be determined by the
time regcomp.c gets involved. The affected subroutine is necessarily
restructured.
An EXACT-type node is generated for the character sequence. Such a node
has a capacity of 255 bytes, and so it is possible to overflow it. This
wasn't checked for before, but now it is, and a warning issued and the
overflowing characters are discarded.

The warnings aren't actually really relevant. The "problem"s are:
IO::Socket::Multicast6 isa IO::Socket::INET6
IO::Socket::INET6 isa IO::Socket
so they chose to inherit all behaviour from IO::Socket. In turn
IO::Socket isa IO::Handle isa Exporter.
IO::Socket chooses to export everything that Socket does:
sub import {
my $pkg = shift;
if (@_ && $_[0] eq 'sockatmark') { # not very extensible but for now, fast
Exporter::export_to_level('IO::Socket', 1, $pkg, 'sockatmark');
} else {
my $callpkg = caller;
Exporter::export 'Socket', $callpkg, @_;
}
}
So, this means that all those choices and delegation of behaviour (and
responsibility) means that all those modules export whatever Socket exports.
OO modules.
So, now they also export inet_pton and inet_ntop.
The test is careful to only import what it needs:
use strict;
use Socket6 qw/ inet_pton pack_sockaddr_in6/;
use Socket qw/ pack_sockaddr_in /;
use Test::More tests => 11;
in particular, it wants inet_pton from Socket6, and only pack_sockaddr_in
from Socket. So at that point, main::inet_pton is Socket6::inet_pton
Then it does this, correctly in a BEGIN block:
BEGIN { use_ok( 'IO::Socket::Multicast6' ); }
The side effect of this is to import all exports from IO::Socket::Multicast6.
Which, from the above chain of inheritance, is @Socket::EXPORT.
So at this point, main::inet_pton is rebound to Socket::inet_pton
And the test fails, because they differ, and it expected (and wanted)
Socket6::inet_pton(). Socket6::inet_pton() returns 4 bytes for AF_INET, 16
bytes for AF_INET6. Socket::inet_pton() returns 16 for both.
Socket::pack_sockaddr_in() wants 4 bytes.
Now, to add to the fun:
use IO::Socket::Multicast6 ();
and
use IO::Socket::Multicast6;
of course mean different things. The former suppresses all exports.
It turns out that with Test::More::isa_ok() has no way of doing the former:
$ cat use_ok.pl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Test::More tests => 3;
package clash;
BEGIN { main::use_ok 'Socket' };
package crunch;
BEGIN { main::use_ok 'Socket', () };
package biff;
BEGIN { main::use_ok 'Socket', 'sockaddr_family' };
package main;
sub dump_lowercase_keys {
my $package = shift;
print "For package $package:\n";
no strict 'refs';
print " $_\n" foreach sort grep {!tr/A-Z//} keys %{"${package}::"};
print "\n";
}
dump_lowercase_keys $_ foreach qw (clash crunch biff);
__END__
$ perl use_ok.pl
1..3
ok 1 - use Socket;
ok 2 - use Socket;
ok 3 - use Socket;
For package clash:
inet_aton
inet_ntoa
pack_sockaddr_in
pack_sockaddr_un

inet_ntoa
pack_sockaddr_in
pack_sockaddr_un
sockaddr_family
sockaddr_in
sockaddr_un
unpack_sockaddr_in
unpack_sockaddr_un
For package biff:
sockaddr_family
So, there's no clean way to rewrite that test with use_ok to suppress imports.
So, to summarise, it's due to
A cascade of modules blindly exporting everything that Socket exports
Socket::inet_pton() and Socket6::inet_pton() differing in behaviour
A test that fails to realise that it's importing everything via use_ok
This one ranks as blocker because:
Socket::inet_pton() and Socket::inet_ntop() are not in any stable release
Hence we have the option to change them if we do it *NOW*.
I think that the right fix is the appended patch. This makes the new Socket
implementation of inet_pton consistent with the existing Socket6
implementation of inet_pton.

Bug in Safe 2.21 re propagating exceptions
An exception thrown from a closure gets lost.
I've boiled it down to this:
perl -MSafe -e 'Safe->new->reval(q{sub { die @_ }})->(qq{ok\n})'
That should die with "ok".
The problem is that the closure that wraps any returned code ref if
threads are enabled is acting as an eval block so hiding the exception.

[perl #72590] Panic if 'use strict' and forget 'my'
That bug happens when we detect a compilation error in the statement
being parsed, and when the continuation of the parsing of that same
statement needs to load the file unicore/Name.pl via charnames.pm.
In that case perl gets confused, fails to parse Name.pl because
the parser is already in error, and also fails to properly rewind
to a normal error-reporting state.
This patch does not attempt to fix the whole error-reporting process;
instead, it simply prevents perl from trying to load charnames if it has
already recorded a parse error. So, in a way, it hides the bug under
the carpet. However, this is a safe fix, suitable for a code-freeze
stage.

Fix for non-regexps being upgraded to SVt_REGEXP

It is possible for arbitrary SVs (eg PAD entries) to be upgraded to
SVt_REGEXP. (This is new with first class regexps)
Whilst the example above does not SEGV, it will be possible to write
code that will cause SEGVs (or worse) at the point when the scalar is freed,
because the code in sv_clear() assumes that all scalars of type
SVt_REGEXP *are* regexps, and passes them to pregfree2(), which assumes that
pointers within are valid.
