sort does not call get-magic after dereffing
sort $f @list accepts a globref for $f, and probably has since Perl
5.000, even if it was by mistake that it ever worked.
It doesn’t respect get-magic, however:
$ perl -le 'sub s { $b <=> $a }; $f = \*s; print sort $f 1,2,3'

If I’m reading this code correctly, it did so by nulling out whatever
op used to come after the pushmark (now it is always a null):
$ perl -MO=Concise -e 'sort $fo @fo'8 <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC ->(end)
1 <0> enter ->2
2 <;> nextstate(main 1 -e:1) v:{ ->3

4 <#> gvsv[*fo] s ->5
6 <1> rv2av[t3] lK/1 ->7
5 <#> gv[*fo] s ->6
-e syntax OK
To preserve the globref support (which the nulled op was providing
before), it added it to sv_2cv, which was the wrong place if you ask
me. Now it means that &{\*_} works, in addition to &{*_}. Other
deref ops don’t have this property. Bug? Maybe. But we can just
pretend it’s a feature and live with it.
In any case, extracting the entry of a typeglob without calling get-
magic on it first doesn’t seem right.

Call FETCH once on handle passed as 3rd arg to open()
When open() has three arguments and the second ends with & the third
argument is treated as a handle.
In some cases get-magic was being skipped; in others, it was being
called three times.
This commit fixes it by modifying sv_2io.
In 5.8.x (before commit
7a5fd60d4), sv_2io did not call get-magic at
all except when croaking ("Bad filehandle: %"SVf). In 5.10.0 (after
commit
7a5fd60d4), it started calling get-magic only if the sv was
neither a glob, a reference, or undef. So it has never been reliable
in its invocation of get-magic.
sv_2io now consistently skips get-magic on the sv passed in directly
to it (open(), the only caller in the core, has already called get-
magic before passing it in). It now calls get-magic on SvRV(sv) if
what is passed in is a reference, so open(fh, ">&", \$tied) will work.

narrower localisation of PL_compcv around eval
PL_compcv used to be localised around the entire string eval process,
and hence at runtime of the evaled code would refer to the evaled code
rather than code of a surrounding compilation. This interfered with the
ability of string-evaled code in a BEGIN block to affect the surrounding
compilation, in a similar way to the localisation of $^H and %^H that
was fixed in

Similar to the fix there, this change moves the localisation of PL_compcv

need to find it from cx->blk_eval.cv, which was already being populated.

Father Chrysostomos [Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:08:32 +0000 (09:08 -0800)]
Make sure $DB::sub is callable
When DB::sub is about to be called (to handle a subroutine call under
the debugger), $DB::sub is set to the name of the subroutine or a ref-
erence to it.
Sometimes $DB::sub is set to the name when the subroutine is not call-
able under that name. That should not happen.
This logic in util.c:Perl_get_db_sub decides whether a reference
should be used:
if ( svp && ((CvFLAGS(cv) & (CVf_ANON | CVf_CLONED))
|| strEQ(GvNAME(gv), "END")
|| ((GvCV(gv) != cv) && /* Could be imported, and old sub redefined. */
!( (SvTYPE(*svp) == SVt_PVGV)
&& (GvCV((const GV *)*svp) == cv)
&& (gv = (GV *)*svp)
)
)
)) {
/* Use GV from the stack as a fallback. */
(That comment about using the GV from the stack as a fallback applies
to the assignment to gv, but was mistakenly divorced from it in commit
3de9ffa12.)
This logic (introduced in
71be2cbc7 [inseparable changes from
perl5.003_13 to perl5.003_14] and integrated into blead in
491527d02)
tries to find a GV that points to the CV, trying the CV’s own GV
first, and falling back to what is on the stack. But it does not
account for GVs that are not found under their names, which can hap-
pen when a glob is copied and the original is undefined ($foo = *bar;
undef *bar; &$foo) or when a stash element or package is deleted, such
as via Symbol::delete_package.
If the subroutine is not locatable under its own name or the name
under which it was called (the name of the GV argument to entersub),
then a reference should be passed. Otherwise a name that can access
the sub should be passed.
So this commit adds more (no, not more!) conditions to make sure the
gv is actually reachable under its name before using a string.
Since, for effiency, those conditions do not perform an actual symbol
lookup, but simply look inside the GV’s stash, we can no longer rely
on gv_efullname (or even gv_fullname), as the stash may have been
moved around, but use HvENAME and construct the GV name ourselves.

Porting/pod_rules.pl should not warn about files that it is rebuilding.
Previously it would generate warnings about inconsistencies in files, even if
it was about to rewrite the file to be consistent.

Add Porting/new-perldelta.pl, which automates adding a new perldelta.
Strictly, "mostly automates", as it doesn't run `git add`, or test that the
build is clean. However, it simplifies a gnarly step in the release manager's
guide, so it's progress.

Flag to get_pod_metadata() whether generated files are expected.
This permits Porting/pod_rules.pl to be run from a clean checkout without
warning, which simplifies updating perl's version.

Refactor pod_lib.pl's get_pod_metadata() to remove a temporary array.
The intermediate array @cpanpods can be avoided by generating the lookup
hashes directly.
Rename %cpanpods_short to %cpanpods_leaf and $shortname to $leafname, as this
makes it clearer that each deals with leafnames.

Rename t/porting/buildtoc.t to pod_rules.t to reflect the previous change.
As it now calls Porting/pod_rules.pl, not pod/buildtoc, it makes little sense
to keep the previous name.

Create Porting/pod_rules.pl, with all non perltoc.pod code from buildtoc.
pod/buildtoc now only generates pod/perltoc.pod, and only takes a --quiet
option. All the other file (re)generation code is now in Porting/pod_rules.pl.
This splits functionality which generates a new file at build time from
functionality for maintainers, which edits files in place. This permits the
unwinding of some of commit
02cc404a20a8a345, which achieved net
simplification in pod/buildtoc by merging code paths dealing with new files
(only pod/perltoc.pod) and existing files being edited.
pod_rules.pl has a --tap option, instead of buildtoc's non-standard --test
option, and defaults to --build-all if no arguments are passed. As buildtoc
now does one job, it no longer takes a --build-toc option, hence all the
Makefiles which call it need updating.

In pod_lib.pl's get_pod_metadata(), generate lookup hashes directly.
Previously the code was structured to build arrays for various categories of
files, then generate hashes from those arrays. However, the arrays had no
other purpose, and the values in the hashes were only needed for truth tests,
so it's better to generate the lookup hashes directly.
@disk_pods hasn't actually been used since commit
d5e2eea989a69524 refactored
pod/buildtoc to no longer chdir to the pod/ directory.

Extract from buildtoc the code that processes pod.lst, MANIFEST and perl.pod
This will permit splitting pod/buildtoc into two - one script used during
the build process to build pod/perltoc.pod, and used by maintainers to
regenerate sections of various Makefiles.

In buildtoc, refactor the code that reads pod.lst, MANIFEST and perl.pod
Move the code into a function, get_pod_metadata(), which returns a reference
to a hash of metadata. This replaces a swathe of global variables.

buildtoc --showfiles should report the correct pathnames.
The output of --showfiles has been garbled since commit

Nicholas Clark [Tue, 8 Nov 2011 13:29:08 +0000 (14:29 +0100)]
buildtoc --showfiles should only list the files to regenerated.
This fixes a bug caused by the refactoring of commit
9dce16cd064e70e6,
which caused --showfiles to always list list all known files, irrespective
of which had been specified with command line flags.

In buildtoc, don't use File::Spec when initialising %BuildFiles.
%BuildFiles is initialised from the leafnames of %Build, which is
initialised from %Targets, which always contains pathnames in Unix
format. Hence using File::Spec->splitpath() is actually erroneous, as it
will process pathnames assuming the format for the current platform.

In buildtoc, refactor the open ... or my_die pattern into a function.
This eliminates several variables used for filenames, including $masterpodfile,
which was declared as a global.
Nicholas Clark [Mon, 7 Nov 2011 20:23:39 +0000 (21:23 +0100)]
In buildtoc, make %Readmepods lexical, and $delta_target global.
%Readmepods is only used within the code to read pod.lst, pod/perlpod.pod
and MANIFEST, not by the generation code.
$delta_target is set by the reading code, but used in the generation code.
This makes the use of global and lexical variables more consistent.
Nicholas Clark [Mon, 7 Nov 2011 12:21:12 +0000 (13:21 +0100)]
In buildtoc, eliminate abs_from_top() as it now runs from the top level.
There's also no need to convert to native path specs, as no paths are passed
to external commands, and the perl runtime on all platforms understands
unambiguously Unix-like paths.

In pod/buildtoc, chdir to the top level of the source tree before running.
Originally buildtoc called chdir to ensure it ran from the pod/ directory.
However, this caused problems when the environment is set to honour UTF-8
locales, and the regex engine (attempts to) demand-load UTF-8 swashes,
because on *nix and VMS buildtoc is invoked with a relative path in @INC.
d5e2eea989a69524 fixed this by avoiding the chdir.
However, an equally valid solution is to run from the top level of the source
tree, because the actual use cases only have relative paths in @INC when
invoked from the top level, with absolute paths in @INC for the use cases
that invoke perltoc from other directories. Hence, it's always safe to change
to the top level of the source tree. This permits future simplification and
refactoring.

Localise $/ properly in UCD.pm
Localisation of $/ in the module’s main CV is undone once the module
finishes loading, and hence has no effect on its function after that.
Each function that uses readline has to localise $/ itself.
