Greetings,
QNX is now compiling 5.003_08 successfully and passing all

errors and are in the process of being fixed by the vendor.
I'd like to submit a few small patches which makes this
work. The patches are accompanied by text describing their
motivation.

suggestions for other/better approaches, please let me know.
I will follow up with a hints file and a (possibly more

Under QNX, I need to include <sys/wait.h> in util.c to prototype

Here is a patch that accomplishes this. It replaces the rsignal
construction in mg.c with a generalized set of functions: rsignal,
rsignalsave, rsignalrestore, and rsignalstate.
Note that global.sym is patched to accomodate the new globally accessible
functions. They probably will be of use to XSUBs too.
This was diffed from a slightly messy 5.003_08, but should apply
acceptably over any 5.003_* series.

Looks OK under VMS. Appended is a patch to the test, which works around

Since _09 is going to be alpha anyway, I reiterate my question:
Is there any reason to not include my hash/array performance
patches in _09?
Btw, here is the next performance patch. It makes PADTMP values
stealable too. I do not do by setting TEMP flags on them, since it
would be a very distributed patch, and it would break some places
which check for TEMP for some other reasons (yes, I checked ;-).
This patch decreases *twice* the memory usage of
perl -e '$a = "a" x 1e6; 1'

memory corruption / security bug in sysread,syswrite + patch
Using a negative offset in sysread() gives interesting results.
I get either
assertion botched: OV_MAGIC(op, bucket) == MAGIC
zsh: 22828 abort perl xp1 < /etc/passwd
if the offset is 'mild' or
panic: realloc at xp2 line 1.
if the offset is 'wild'.
Using a negative offset in syswrite() opens up interesting vistas,
like, say, your stack :-)
A patch follows. 'Reasonably' small negative values are accepted,
they count from the end of the data. One possible point of debate:
should that be +1? That is, if the offset is negative, should that
mean 1) at the point 2) after the point? For sysread(), "after" might
sometimes be a better choice?

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

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.

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

Use builtin methods if present under OS/2 (maybe should be
done outside of OS/2 too?).

Some optimization (speedup in loading GNU utilities with some
memory present - 32M should be quite enough).
Test for revision of EMX, and setting fork()ing appropriately.
libc was in .../st/... instead of mt.
README.os2 is installed as pod/perlos2.pod.

Change Myrealloc to Myremalloc to conform to 5.003's version.
I left in the Mycalloc since malloc.c now includes a calloc,
and we might need to hide it.

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.
Document IO::Handle::untaint and give warning about the bad
things it can do.
