original test was only TODO for the !DO_SPAWN case was that errors were
reported inconsistently between the two code paths of open3().
However, this is not the case - the DO_SPAWN path through open3() return a
(pseudo) PID (and no error) when asked to run a non-existent program. Hence
there is now a feature discrepancy between the alternative implementations,
which feels like a bug that should (ultimately) be addressed.
The original test could have expressed that more directly with one code path
and a TODO. The refactoring of
bd29e8c290c68f4f failed to spot this, and
introduced new logic errors in the DO_SPAWN path - waitpid() should not be
called if $@ is set.
Set $pid outside the eval {} - this makes sure it is (re)set to undef if the
eval fails, instead of holding its previous (now bogus) value.

eintr.t: skip based on capability rather than OS
The t/io/eintr.t tests require read/write system to calls to be
interruptible (to see if anything nasty can be done by the signal
handler).
Many platforms aren't interruptible, which means the tests would hang.
We currently work round this by skipping based on a hard-coded list of
OSes (such as win32, VMS etc).
Change this so that we instead do an initial test as to whether they are
interruptible, and if not, skip the whole test file.

Fix my + attrs + list assignment

#!perl -l
sub MODIFY_SCALAR_ATTRIBUTES { return } # need these
sub MODIFY_ARRAY_ATTRIBUTES { return } # for it to
sub MODIFY_HASH_ATTRIBUTES { return } # compile
my ($x,@y,%z) : Bent = 72; # based on example from attributes.pm’s pod
print $x;
print "ok";
$ pbpaste|perl5.6.2
72
ok
(pbpaste is a Mac command that outputs the clipboard contents.)
In 5.8.0 to 5.8.8:
$ pbpaste|perl5.8.1
ok
So the assignment never happens. And with warnings:
$ pbpaste|perl5.8.1 -w

In 5.8.9 it gets slightly worse:
$ pbpaste|perl5.8.9

So warnings are not required to trigger the error. If my ($x,@y,%z)
is changed to my($x,$y), there is no error, but the assignment
doesn’t happen.

Fix a bug on setting OPpASSIGN_COMMON on a AASSIGN op when the left
side is made out a list declared with our(). In this case OPpLVAL_INTRO
isn't set on the left op, so we just remove that check. Add new tests.
p4raw-id: //depot/perl@28488
What’s happening is that there is an extra pushmark in the list when
attributes are present:
$ perl5.14.0 -MO=Concise -e 'my ($a,@b):foo'
o <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC ->(end)
1 <0> enter ->2
2 <;> nextstate(main 39 -e:1) v:{ ->3
n <@> list vKPM/128 ->o
3 <0> pushmark vM/128 ->4
4 <0> padsv[$a:39,40] vM/LVINTRO ->5
5 <0> padav[@b:39,40] vM/LVINTRO ->6
6 <0> pushmark v ->7 <------- right here
e <1> entersub[t3] vKS*/NOMOD,TARG ->f
7 <0> pushmark s ->8
8 <$> const[PV "attributes"] sM ->9
9 <$> const[PV "main"] sM ->a
b <1> srefgen sKM/1 ->c
- <1> ex-list lKRM ->b
a <0> padsv[$a:39,40] sRM ->b
c <$> const[PV "foo"] sM ->d
d <$> method_named[PV "import"] ->e
m <1> entersub[t4] vKS*/NOMOD,TARG ->n
f <0> pushmark s ->g
g <$> const[PV "attributes"] sM ->h
h <$> const[PV "main"] sM ->i
j <1> srefgen sKM/1 ->k
- <1> ex-list lKRM ->j
i <0> padsv[@b:39,40] sRM ->j
k <$> const[PV "foo"] sM ->l
l <$> method_named[PV "import"] ->m
-e syntax OK
That leaves an extra mark that confuses pp_aassign, which doesn’t know
what it’s supposed to be reading and what it’s supposed to be assign-
ing to (hence the bizarre copy).
The pushmark is the result of the concatenation of two lists, the sec-
ond one beginning with a pushmark (as listops do by default). The con-
catenation occurs in Perl_my_attrs, at this spot (in the ‘else’):
if (rops) {
if (maybe_scalar && o->op_type == OP_PADSV) {
o = scalar(op_append_list(OP_LIST, rops, o));
o->op_private |= OPpLVAL_INTRO;
}
else
o = op_append_list(OP_LIST, o, rops);
}
So this commit make that ‘else’ clause check for a pushmark and oblit-
erate it if present, before concatenating the lists.

stop waithires.t randomly failing under high load
Under conditions of high load (e.g. parallel testing),
some of the tests in threads-shared/t/waithires.t can fail.
My previous attempt at fixing this,
bb09c94c3bb1638714998511ecf5d337a708535a
was mostly wrong. In particular, the new sub cond_timedwaitN()
didn't actually do what it advertised, since it didn't increment
the timeout, which was an absolute clock time. Instead, it's main
affect was to mostly guarantee (within a 10 second window) that
a wait succeeded (and thus that the whole test file didn't hang),
although as it happens, after the first fail it was no longer actively
testing a timed wait.
Formalise this, by renaming cond_timedwaitN() to do_cond_timedwait(), and
just doing an untimed cond_wait() if the initial cond_timedwait() times
out.
In addition, the changes to avoid false positives are:
Increase the wait periods from 0.1s and 0.05s to 0.4s, to give a bigger
window.
Add a new lock, $ready, that ensures that the child is fully started and
ready before the parent starts the cond_timedwait(), which reduces the
window of time where the wait might time out.
Make the scope of the lock as small as possible, so that that the parent
cond_timedwait() isn't still trying to re-acquire the lock while the child
prints out 'ok' messages etc.
And most importantly, don't automatically treat a cond_timedwait() timeout
as a failure. Instead, measure the time the parent spends in
cond_timedwait(), and the time the child spends between locking and
signalling; and if both of these are greater than the timeout, then we
know we timed out because we were loaded, rather than because something
was wrong with cond_timedwait.
