[perl #70151] eval localises %^H at runtime
It doesn’t any more.
Now the hints are localised in a separate inner scope surrounding the
call to yyparse. This meant moving hint-handling code from pp_require
and pp_entereval into S_doeval.
Some tests in t/comp/hints.t were testing for the buggy behaviour, so
they have been adjusted.
Basically, this fixes
sub import {
eval "strict->import"
}
which should work the same way as
sub import {
strict->import
}
but was not working because %^H and $^H were being localised to
the eval at its run time, not just its compilation. So the values
assigned to %^H and $^H at the eval’s run time would simply be lost.

perldelta for PL_curcop localisation
Father Chrysostomos [Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:34:31 +0000 (08:34 -0800)]
Localise PL_curcop for BEGIN blocks
Usually when a BEGIN block exits it has to set PL_curcop to
&PL_compiling, so that subsequent compiled code in the surrounding
scope will have the right warning hints during compilation.
If an XS function creates a BEGIN block via newXS or newATTRSUB, how-
ever, the assumption that compilation will resume as soon as the block
exits is false.
This can be demonstrated with this code, which warns about CHECK and
INIT blocks created too late when it shouldn’t due to ‘no warnings’:
use warnings;
eval q|
BEGIN{
no warnings;
package XS::APItest; require XSLoader; XSLoader::load()
}
|;
In every case where it is correct for BEGIN to set PL_curcop to
&PL_compiling when it exits it is actually just restoring it to its
previous value, so localisation is the right fix.

appropriate from to_utf8_lower.
And to_uni_lower no longer calls to_utf8_lower, using the macro instead,
saving a function call and duplicate work

Deprecate direct use of Unicode db files
Unicode::UCD has been enhanced to provide a stable API for accessing the
Unicode data base. Some applications have needed data that has
previously only effectively been available from files stored on disk.
It may be that some time in the future we will want to change or remove
these files, so a warning has been added to their headers to that
effect.
Already, it would have been more convenient to change the
formats somewhat in some of these, and I have had to do some hoop
jumping to avoid this.
I don't see any call to change them now for many releases down the road,
but for example, we may choose to store more of the db in memory, and
would no longer need these.

Future commits will make Unicode::UCD return maps of all properties.
Instead of storing these maps on disk, they can be inferred from the

This commit causes a request for the mapping of such a property to
instead return the data from the binary definition file.
It is left for the caller to convert this data into a map. These files
do not have SwashInfo defined; and the returned BITS field in the swash
will be 1.

utf8_heavy.pl: Remove no longer needed code
Previous commits have extended the capabilities of utf8_heavy to handle
any mapping file generated by mktables, and have changed the names of
the maps to look up in utf8.c to correspond to the mktables names. We
thus, no longer need code that knows the names of those properties,
using the more general mechanism instead
Karl Williamson [Sat, 5 Nov 2011 17:31:47 +0000 (11:31 -0600)]
utf8.c: Use proper Unicode property names
There are five functions in utf8.c that look up Unicode maps--the case
changing functions. They look up these maps under the names ToDigit,
ToFold, ToLower, ToTitle, and ToUpper. The imminent expansion of Unicode::UCD
to return the mappings for all properties creates a naming conflict, as
three of those names are the same as other properties, Upper, Lower, and
Title.
It was an unfortunate choice of names originally. Now mktables has been
changed to create a list of mapping properties that utf8_heavy.pl reads.
It uses the official names of those properties, so change utf8.c to
correspond.
