List::Maker was forwarding calls to File::Glob::bsd_glob from its

Add :bsd_glob export tag to File::Glob [perl #96116]
This is intended to replace the :glob export tag. The problem with
:glob is that the glob export (File::Glob::glob) does not support ite-

while(<*>) to loop endlessly, as it is repeatedly returning the last
file (scalar context).
Since there may be code relying on that, we cannot easily change it,
but we can supplant it.
Since bsd_glob is already documented as supporting spaces in patterns

commit adds a :bsd_glob export tag that only differs from :glob in
that the exported glob() function iterates in scalar context.

Make csh_glob remove quote-escaping backslashes

0b0e6d70, for

sourced to Text::ParseWords) would remove backslash escapes, so the
globbing engine got to see a"b and c"d.
Since
0b0e6d70, the backslash escapes were no longer removed (because
in most cases they needed to remain, to avoid backslashitis), so the
globbing engine got to see a\"b and c\"d. On Unix that made no dif-
ference, as the globbing engine treats \ as an escape character. But
on Windows it doesn’t usually, so the output changed and produced a
literal a\"b.

This commit makes CORE::glob bypassing glob overrides.
A side effect of the fix is that, with the default glob implementa-

Another side effect is that compilation of a glob op no longer assumes
that the loading of File::Glob will create the *CORE::GLOB::glob type-
glob. ‘++$INC{"File/Glob.pm"}; sub File::Glob::csh_glob; eval '<*>';’
used to crash.
This is accomplished using a mechanism similar to lock() and
threads::shared. There is a new PL_globhook interpreter varia-
ble that pp_glob calls when there is no override present. Thus,
File::Glob (which is supposed to be transparent, as it *is* the
built-in implementation) no longer interferes with the user mechanism
for overriding glob.

implementation, and which work together to make it one of the buggiest

Rewrite csh_glob in C; fix two quoting bugs
This commit rewrites File::Glob::csh_glob (which implements perl’s
default globbing behaviour) in C.
This fixes a problem introduced by
0b0e6d70f. If there is an
unmatched quotation mark, all attempts to parse the pattern are
discarded and it is treated as a single token. Prior to
0b0e6d70f,
whitespace was stripped from both ends in that case. As of
0b0e6d70f,
it was only stripped from the beginning. This commit restores the
pre-
0b0e6d70f behaviour with unmatched quotes. It doesn’t take
'a"b\ ' into account (where the space is escaped), but that wasn’t
handled properly before
0b0e6d70f, either.
This also finishes making csh_glob consistent with regard to quota-
tion marks. Commit
0b0e6d70f attempted to do that, but did not strip
out medial quotation marks, as in a"b"c. Text::ParseWords does not
provide an interface for stripping out quotation marks but leaving
backslashes, which I tried to work around, not fully understanding
the implications. Anyway, this new C implementation doesn’t use
Text::ParseWords.
The latter fix caused a test failure, but that test was there to make
sure the behaviour didn’t change depending on whether File::Glob
was loaded before the first mention of glob(). (In 5.6, loading
File::Glob first would make perl revert to external csh glob, ironic-
ally enough.) This commit modifies the test to test for sameness,
rather than exact output. In fact, this change causes perl and
miniperl to be consistent, and probably also causes glob to be more
consistent across platforms (think of VMS).
Another effect of the translation to C is that the Unicode Bug is
fixed with regard to splitting patterns. The C code effectively does
/\s/a now (which I believe is the only sane behaviour in this case),
instead of treating the string differently depending on the UTF8 flag.
The Unicode Bug is still present with regard to actual globbing.
This commit introduces one regression. This code:
undef %File::Glob::;
glob("nometachars");
will no longer return anything, because csh_glob no longer holds a
reference count on the $File::Glob::DEFAULT_FLAGS glob. Any code that
does that is beyond crazy.
The big advantage to this patch is speed. Something like
‘@files = <*>’ is 18% faster in a folder of 300 files. For smaller
folders there should be an even more notable difference.

Make File::Glob::csh_glob consisent wrt '"\
File::Glob::csh_glob, which is the routine implementing Perl’s own
glob function, is not consistent in its treatment of quotation marks
and backslashes. It differs depending on whether there are white-
space characters in the pattern both preceded and followed by non-
whitespace.
Without whitespace, quotation marks are treated literally and back-
slashes are treated as escapes that cause metacharacters to be treated
literally. So
<"foo*">
looks for files with literal quotation marks in their name.
With whitespace, quotation marks are treated as word delimiters, so
<"foo copy*">
will find file names matching /^foo copy/. Backslash escapes are pro-
cessed twice, so one has to write
glob '\\\** .\\\**'
to find files beginning with a literal ‘*’ or ‘.*’. But simply
glob '\**'
to find files beginning with ‘*’. (Note that <> is a double-quotish
operator, so in <> those would have to be quadruple and double back-
slashes, respectively.)
There are two problems with the code:
1) Text::Parsewords is only used when there is whitespace present. It
should be used also for quotation marks, too, if they exist.
2) Text::Parsewords should not be removing backslash escapes.
3) Actually, there’s a third. A final escaped space should also go
through Text::ParseWords, instead of being stripped.
This commit fixes both things.

Make <~> work again under miniperl
Commit
a3342be368 localised %ENV before calling csh for glob. But
that causes <~> to stop working. So this commit clears out %ENV
*except* for $ENV{HOME}.
It relies on the way magic works: Before localising the %ENV hash, it
retrieves its $ENV{HOME} element, which is a magical scalar. It calls
get-magic to store the value in the scalar itself, localises %ENV, and
then calls set-magic on the element, to signal (deceitfully) that an assignment has just happened. So the cached value in the magical sca-
lar is used and assigned to the env var.

bisect-runner.pl now builds test_prep on OpenBSD back to 5.002
The historical OpenBSD hints file needs tweaking for compiler and linker
flags, and needs to be provided for revisions before it was added to the
source tree. perl.h and pp_sys.c need patching with the current (i.e. post
1996) #ifdef forest for [gs]etpgrp() variants. perl.h needs to include
<unistd.h> on OpenBSD, else POSIX.xs won't build.
OpenBSD also requires all the parallel Makefile fixes, as its make builds
targets in reverse lexical order, which reveals a lot of assumptions about
build order. (Such as Cwd nearly always being built in time, because it
sorts lexically far ahead of other XS modules dependant on it.)
Nicholas Clark [Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:28:51 +0000 (17:28 +0100)]
bisect-runner.pl must patch Makefile.SH to avoid parallel make problems.
Patch in all 4 "extra_dep" rules for XS modules if any are needed as it
simplifies the implementation. It does no harm to have dependency rules for
XS modules "from the future", as they are ignored if the module is not
present. None were needed before Cwd was first converted to an XS module,
so use that as the test for applicability.
Remove a short-lived set of Makefile rules that attempted to run the regen
scripts if needed (commits
9fec149bb652b6e9 and
5bab1179608f81d8), as they
obscure whether correctly regenerated headers were checked in, and can cause
spurious rebuilds or timing-related parallel make failures.
Remove the code to explicitly set @INC in POSIX's Makefile.PL, as the @INC
it sets will cause build failures with make_ext.pl if Cwd isn't built first,
whereas the @INC set by make_ext.pl has no such issue.

bisect-runner.pl now runs the testcase for targets config.{sh,h}
Previously for these two targets it assumed --test-build if a --match

--test-build must be specified explicitly, otherwise the test case will be
run. For example, this makes it easy to bisect using a testcase which greps
config.sh or config.h. (Of course, one can do roughly this with the --match
option, but this will match against all generated files, which may generate
false positives.)

Reimplement $[ as a module
This commit reimplements $[ using PL_check hooks, custom pp func-
tions and ties.
Outside of its compile-time use, $[ is now parsed as a simple varia-
ble, so function calls like foo($[) are permitted, which was not the
case with the former implementation removed by e1dccc0. I consider
that a bug fix.
The ‘That use of $[ is unsupported’ errors are out of necessity
deferred to run-time and implemented by a tied $[.
Indices between 0 and the array base are now treated consistently, as
are indices between a negative array base and zero. That, too, is
a bug fix.
