handy.h: Free up bits in PL_charclass[]
This array is a bit map containing the Posix and similar character
classes for the first 256 code points. Prior to this commit many
character classes were represented by two bits, one for characters that
are in it over the full Latin-1 range, and one for just the ASCII
characters that are in it. The number of bits in use was approaching
the 32-bit limit available without playing games.
This commit takes advantage of a recent commit that adds a bit to the
table for all the ASCII characters, and the fact that the ASCII
characters in a character class are a subset of the full Latin1
range. So, iff both the full-range character class bit and the ASCII
bit is set is that character an ASCII-range character with the given
character class.
A new internal macro is created to generate code to determine if a
character is an ASCII range character with the given class. It's not
clear if the generated code is faster or slower than the full range
version.
The result is that nearly half the bits are freed up, as the ones for
the ASCII-range are now redundant.

regcomp.c: shrink some optimized [class] nodes
Various bracketed character class specifications don't need the full
generality, and can be optimized into smaller, faster nodes. Recent
commits, such as
3a64b5154fffec75126d34d25954f0aef30d9f8a have
introduced some such optimizations. However, their commit messages are
wrong, in that they don't end taking up any less space than the original
ANYOF node, as there is no provision for giving it back, once reserved.
This commit corrects that for non-locale nodes. Restructuring of the
code, more than I care to do now, would be required to extend this to
locale nodes.
Only optimizations that are determined in pass1 of the regex compilation
are eligible for this, as once the space is calculated, it is reserved
before pass2 begins. There are now two sections where optimization is
done in this routine. The final section is after all the data is
examined and processed, and we know exactly what is to be in the ANYOF
node. Currently, most of this calculation processing is skipped in pass
1. We could do everything in both passes, greatly slowing down the
first, in order to figure out the exact space requirements.
But instead, I've chosen to add a separate optimization section that
looks at only the optimizations that are easily computable in the
current first pass, and to apply those early, in time for the shrinking
to occur. This commit adds that shrinking.
Locale nodes can't be shrunk because the code currently writes into
their larger buffer before this decision to optimize is made. To
illustrate, say that the node is at the end of the regex, and the data
is written at x+20, within a generic locale ANYOF node's space. Pass 1
doesn't write anything, but calculates the space needed. At the point
that this commit addresses, we would shrink the amount of space to be
allocated to be allocated. Then we carve out space for the regex from
the heap. That x+20 could be pointing to something entirely different,
which Pass 2 would destroy. This can be avoided by storing the stuff
that would be written into a temporary until the optimization decision
has been made. But there is extra work involved in doing this, that I
don't think is worth it at this time.
The same problem doesn't occur in non-locale situations, even though the
flags field of the node is written before the optimization decision.
This is because every node has the space for a flags field, so it just
gets overwritten as necessary when the optimization is done.

regcomp.h: Free up bit; downside is makes locale ANYOF nodes large
There have been two flavors of ANYOF nodes under /l (locale) (for
bracketed character classes). If a class didn't try to match things
like [:word:], it was smaller by 4 bytes than one that did.
A flag bit was used to indicate which size it was. By making all such
nodes the larger size, whether needed or not, that bit can be freed to
be used for other purposes.
This only affects ANYOF nodes compiled under locale rules. The hope is
to eventually git rid of these nodes anyway, by taking the suggestion of
Yves Orton to compile regular expressions using the current locale, and
automatically recompile the next time they are used after the locale
changes.
This commit is somewhat experimental, done early in the development
cycle to see if there are any breakages. There are other ways to free
up a bit, as explained in the comments. Best would be to split off
nodes that match everything outside Latin1, freeing up the
ANYOF_UNICODE_ALL bit. However, there currently would need to be two
flavors of this, one also for ANYOFV. I'm currently working to
eliminate the need for ANYOFV nodes (which aren't sufficient,

Adding support for Visual C's __declspec(noreturn) function declarations to perl
This will reduce the machine code size on Visual C Perl, by removing C stack
clean up opcodes and possible jmp opcodes after croak() and similar
functions. Perl's existing __attribute__noreturn__ macro (and therefore
GCC's __attribute__((noreturn)) ) is fundamentally incompatible with MS's
implementation for noreturn functions. win32.h already has _MSC_VER
aware code blocks, so adding more isn't a problem.

Magic flags harmonization.
In restore_magic(), which is called after any magic processing, all of
the public OK flags have been shifted into the private OK flags. Thus
the lack of an appropriate public OK flags was used to trigger both get
magic and required conversions. This scheme did not cover ROK, however,
so all properly written code had to make sure mg_get was called the right
number of times anyway. Meanwhile the private OK flags gained a second
purpose of marking converted but non-authoritative values (e.g. the IV
conversion of an NV), and the inadequate flag shift mechanic broke this
in some cases.
This patch removes the shift mechanic for magic flags, thus exposing (and
fixing) some improper usage of magic SVs in which mg_get() was not called
correctly. It also has the side effect of making magic get functions
specifically set their SVs to undef if that is desired, as the new behavior
of empty get functions is to leave the value unchanged. This is a feature,
as now get magic that does not modify its value, e.g. tainting, does not
have to be special cased.
The changes to cpan/ here are only temporary, for development only, to
keep blead working until upstream applies them (or something like them).
Thanks to Rik and Father C for review input.

op.c:ck_grep: Remove unnecessary op_next assignments
ck_grep is a tangled mess and I am trying to simplify it, but at each
step it is not at all obvious what is happening.
grep/map with a block starts out like this:
grepstart
pushmark
null
scope/leave
block contents...
arg1
arg2
...
The if (o->op_flags & OPf_STACKED) at the top of ck_grep runs for
blocks. The firstkid var refers to the null above, and gets its
op_next set (this code was in ck_sort until recently [ck_grep used to
call ck_sort], and this particular op_next assignment was specific to
grep and map).
Later, the thing is fed through ck_fun, whose OA_CVREF case transforms
the tree into this:
grepstart
pushmark
null ← new op
null ← original null
scope/leave
block contents...
arg1
arg2
...
Then cUNOPx(cLISTOP->op_first->op_sibling)->op_first gets its op_next
set. By that point, that expression refers to the original null op,
so setting its op_next pointer to begin with seems pointless.
But it is not actually pointless. Removing that statement breaks
things. It turns out, as usual, that everything is more complicated
than it seems. Setting kid->op_next = (OP*)gwop in the block-specific
if statement after setting the first null op’s op_next pointer results
in op_next pointers like this (the newly-created grepwhile doesn’t
link to the grepstart yet at this point):
[grepwhile]
grepstart
pushmark
null -> block contents
scope/leave -> grepwhile
block contents...
arg1
arg2
...
So ck_fun’s OA_CVREF handling, when it calls LINKLIST, sees that the
original null op already has its op_next set and does nothing. With-
out it set, it copies it from the first kid, resulting in this (when
LINKLIST copies the op_next pointer out, it makes the kid it was cop-
ied from point to its sibling or its parent):
[grepwhile]
grepstart
pushmark
null
null -> grepwhile
scope/leave -> null (prev line)
block contents...
arg1
arg2
...
That nonsensical arrangement of op_next pointers basically prevents
the block from running, because the grepwhile’s other pointer, copied
from the first null’s kid, ends up pointing to the grepwhile itself.
If we also remove the kid->op_next = (OP*)gwop assignment from the
if(OPf_STACKED) block, then we end up with this after ck_fun:
[grepwhile]
grepstart
pushmark
null
null -> first op in block
scope/leave -> null (prev line)
block contents...
arg1
arg2
...
Then the op_next poiner from the first null’s kid is copied to
grepwhile’s op_other pointer, and everything works.
This also means we can remove the now-redundant LINKLIST call from the
if(OPfSTACKED) block, since ck_fun’s OA_CVREF handling also does that.
So now every vestige of the original call to ck_sort is gone.
This also means we no longer have to repeat NewOp(1101, gwop...).

Simplify ck_grep
Back in perl 5.000, ck_grep would call ck_sort (which was still the
case until
354dd559d99 just recently) and the latter would traverse
its way through the op_next pointers to find an op that tried to
escape the block, setting its op_next pointer to null. Then ck_grep
would traverse op_next pointers itself to find the place where ck_sort
stopped. That caused problems for grep which were fixed in
748a93069b
(perl 5.001). It was fixed by setting op_next to 0 on the first op,
so that the loop in ck_grep would not do anything. But that loop was
left there. This commit removes it.
There are also a couple of things I missed when disentangling
ck_grep and ck_sort in commit /
354dd559d9. I accidentally put
if (o->op_flags & OPf_STACKED) inside if (o->op_flags & OPf_STACKED).
And the OPf_SPECIAL flag was only being set for sort’s use, so ck_grep
doesn’t need to copy that.
Father Chrysostomos [Sat, 14 Jul 2012 13:41:30 +0000 (06:41 -0700)]
op.c: Further simplify ck_sort
This code currently chases op_next pointers in the sort block to make
sure there is none that can point outside. To avoid getting stuck in
loops, it has to check for those explicitly.
Instead of nulling out any op_next pointer that points to the leave
op, we can simply turn the leave into a null op (which we already do)
and have the leave op’s op_next pointer point to nothing.
That produces the same result in the end: Execution of the sort block
is prevented from running rampant and escaping out of it, but exits
the runloop instead, returning control to pp_sort.

Disentangle ck_sort and grep
Originally, sort and grep/map used the same code for handling the
block’s ops.
But that didn’t quite work, so exceptions were added over time. Now
the thing is a complex sprawling mess. By folding the grep-specific
code into ck_grep, things are greatly simplified.
