From: Reini Urban Anyone investigated reviving undump for the platforms where the
supporting code already exists: elf and coff on i386, besides a.out and
solaris?

For example take it from emacs or some scheme packages,
or even parrot. These support even more platforms.
Tom Christianses once added unexec from emacs to perl as I read in perl.c.

It would need a little bit of restructuring the undump code though which
only went the solaris way together with the external undump utility, if
I remember correctly.

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, Richard Foley perl 5.10 and blead will do various combinations of running of of
memory, hanging or segfaulting when running on a program using
XML::Parser::Lite, attached is a stripped down version of X::P::L
which demonstrates the problem:

$ perl5.10.0 -d /tmp/xpl-testcase.pl

main::(/tmp/xpl-testcase.pl:71): setHandlers();
DB<1> c
Out of memory!

perl5.11.0 (blead) will hang given the same task, both 5.10 and blead
will segfault if "t" (trace) is turned on before "c" (continue).

Attached is a screenlog of a gdb session using trace on blead where it
segfaults.

This is a bug report for perl from anno@oliva.zrz.tu-berlin.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.

I believe there is a small bug in Exporter.pm that can lead to error
messages from Exporter being mis-attributed (as in file and line) by
Carp. The error is reported as coming from Exporter, not the place
where the user called Exporter::import. This happens when Carp is an
older version than the current one (not sure how old). Since (the
new) Exporter can be downloaded from CPAN this situation is not
uncommon. It is, however, not the case on the machine I'm reporting
from.

The patch below, which rectifies the situation, is against Exporter
in bleadperl. I should perhaps have patched the CPAN version instead,
which is the one that actually needs a correction, but thought of
that too late.

Regards,

Anno

From: David Nicol, Ted Zlatanov, Eric Brine, Gisle Aas I put a module Every.pm on CPAN, which lets you do

print "hi" if every(5);

which will print "hi" once every 5 times it's called. There's a form
for seconds elapsed as well, which will run if N seconds have elapsed.

(it came to be with help from c.l.p.misc regulars, it's not just mine)

I wonder if:

1) there's any chance of including it in the core in some form; I think
it's really useful and the common (if $i % 5 == 0) format has lots of
shortcomings;

2) there's a way to know not just the line, but also the character
position of a function call, so we can do

if (every(5) || every(6)) {}

without resorting to shenanigans like using \5 and \6 or passing a
special identifier in addition to the number.

Thanks
Ted

From: Jerry D. Hedden Attached patch changes skip messages to be consistent with Test::Builder
(especially skip_all() which wasn't being parsed properly by Test::Harness).

From: Jerry D. Hedden This test report went horribly wrong. Is this a Perl bug, or a bug in
Test::Harness, or what?

DBI does some sneaky things with the internals, in the pursuit of raw
performance.

The internals were heavily reworked during the development track up to
5.10, and in the process DBI was dinged a couple of times by changes in
assumptions. As such, and given the absence of response so far (in spite
of a delightfully short test snippet -- thank you), I recommend you post
your report to the dbi-users mailing list.

I've cc'ed Tim Bunce on this reply. It just may turn out that Tim has a
easy solution regardless, and was not aware of the bug report.

Thanks,
David Landgren

From: Ted Zlatanov, Marcus Holland-Moritz Is there a reason the pack "q" template requires 64-bit Perl? It seems
like it should be available (in a simulated, not native form) on 32-bit
as well.

Ted

This is a bug report for perl from hachi@cpan.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
$_ = "foo"; my $x; while (m/(?<a>oo)/){ $x = $+{a}; }

As the loop runs, perl's memory size grows unbounded. Currently also happens on blead.

Removing the copy of $+{a} stops the leak though. %- and Tie::Hash::NamedCapture also leak in a similar way.

In the Perl debugger, the command "o warn=0 die=0" does nothing useful.

This bug also applies to the latest 5.010 Perl I could conveniently find
on http://search.cpan.org/.

This is a bug report for perl from sphink@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

I have a tie'd variable %h that returns values from its FETCH()
routine that are blessed into a package that uses overloads.
When I use the += operator on the return value from that FETCH,
the overloading is ignored.

If I use the + operator, it works fine.

Example (uncomment the two commented-out lines to prove that
the overloading is ignored):

package Over;

use overload '+' => \&add;
#use overload '+=' => \&add2;
use overload '""' => \&toString;

sub add {
my ($a, $b, $swapped) = @_;
return bless [ $a->[0] + $b->[0], $a->[1] + $b->[1] ], 'Over';
}

#sub add2 { die "add2 called" }

sub toString {
my ($self) = @_;
return "<$self->[0],$self->[1]>";
}

package Tied;

sub TIEHASH {
my ($selfpkg, $data) = @_;
return bless \$data, $selfpkg;
}

sub FETCH {
my ($self, $key) = @_;
return bless [ $key, $key ], 'Over';
}

sub STORE {
my ($self, $key, $value) = @_;
print "STORE($key,$value) called\n";
}

package main;

my $v = bless [ 1, 2 ], 'Over';

my %h;
tie %h, 'Tied';

print "v = $v\n";
print "h{1} = $h{1}\n";
print "h{1} + [10,10] = ", ($h{1} + [10,10]), "\n";
print "h{1} += [10,10] = ", ($h{1} += [10,10]), "\n";
# The overloading was ignored on the previous line. It correctly
# fetched key '1' and converted it into a blessed ref, but then
# when it applied the += operator to the result, it didn't respect
# the overloading.

This is a bug report for perl from Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
I think this is a Perl bug (HP-UX 11.31, Perl from HP (ActivePerl)). None of both
Tests produces the proper results. I'd expect (6,0,20, 31) to be in @nums after
the loop


Test 1:

$info = '4.IT';
my $a = './0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
while ($info) {
my $c = substr($info, 0, 1) = '';
print "index ", $c, "=", index($a, $c), "\n";
push(@nums, index($a, $c));
}
print "nums=", join(',', @nums), "\n";

Output:
index .=0
index I=20
index T=31
index =0
nums=0,20,31,0

Test 2:
$info = '4.IT';
while ($info) {
print "index ", substr($info, 0, 1), "=", index($a, substr($info, 0, 1)),
"\n";
push(@nums, index($a, substr($info, 0, 1) = ''));
}
print "nums=", join(',', @nums), "\n";

Output:
index 4=6
index .=0
index I=20
index T=31
nums=0,20,31,0

From: Milosz Tanski Does Perl provide any facility, along the lines of pthread_once, that
can guarantee that a piece of code will only get run once; for code like
the initialization of an external libraries' static vars? The boot
section of the XS module is called each time an (embedded) interpreter
loads the module so that's not really a suitable spot. Alternatively, is
there there a way to statically initialize a perl_mutex, ala assigning
PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER to a real pthread_mutex, that will work for
all the platforms that Perl supports threading?

The module I'm working with is XML::Xerces, which is a wrapper around
the apache project's xerces-c library. It has a few thread safety issues
that I'm working to solve.

Thanks,

I apologize for not being aware of this problem.
It's probably related to bug 41574.
If it recurs often, I'll probably skip the test under MSWin32.

Attached patch adds watchdog() to both above mentioned test files.

This is a bug report for perl from herington_dean@emc.com,

generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.5.



The attached program uses an @INC import hook to make two simple

modules available from text in the program itself.

`require Mod2` fails with:



Missing right curly or square bracket at /loader/0x94ffc20/Mod2.pm
line 7, at end of line

syntax error at /loader/0x94ffc20/Mod2.pm line 7, at EOF

Compilation failed in require at INC-sub-bug line 47.



even though module Mod2 is well-formed Perl code. Note that

`require Mod1` succeeds, even though there is only a slight syntactic

difference between the two modules.

Pardon my ignorance, but this patch doesn't seem to do anything. Is it correct?

From: Reini Urban, David Landgren Porters,

just a note to apologise for the lack of summaries over the past two
weeks (prior to last week). I simply haven't had time; I had only about
two hours spare over the fortnight stretch.

So I've abandoned the attempt to summarise 21st June through 5th July. I
started working through the RT traffic for June and that's about the
size of things. I shall not be publishing anything on use.perl or the
summaries list, but if you want thread titles in one handy place then
have a look at

http://www.landgren.net/perl/p5psumm/20080705.xrl.html

Thanks, and sorry,
David

From: Anno Siegel I believe there is a small bug in Exporter.pm that can lead to error
messages from Exporter being mis-attributed (as in file and line) by
Carp. The error is reported as coming from Exporter, not the place
where the user called Exporter::import. This happens when Carp is an
older version than the current one (not sure how old). Since (the
new) Exporter can be downloaded from CPAN this situation is not
uncommon.

The patch below is against Exporter in bleadperl. I should perhaps
have patched the CPAN version instead, which is the one that actually
needs it, but thought of that too late.

Regards,

Anno

From: David Landgren, Noyes, Mark Bram,
I would like to be able to supply a test case, but this bug is not easy
to replicate, as it depends on a bunch of enviornmental factors. I will
try to describe the scenario it which it occurs, in case that helps.

We would occasionally encounter cases when a customer would attempt to
use our product and the perl code would crash with a SEGV or Bus Error
repeatedly, until the shell environment was changed somewhat. We
eventually determined that the following sequence of events were
occurring.

During program initialization, the perl interpreter calls Perl_malloc
for an SV which will later grow. Next, a perl module is loaded that has
a DLL with initialization code. That initialization code calls the libc
malloc() or other code which causes an sbrk() to occur where the brk
increase is not a multiple of NEEDED_ALIGNMENT. After the DLL is
loaded, the perl interpreter attempts to do an sv_grow on the
allocation, and since the allocation being grown is the most recent
allocation (last_op), Perl_realloc will call getpages_adjacent to
attempt to extend the allocation cheaply. In getpages_adjacent(), we
find that there are not enough left-over bytes from the prior sbrk to
satisfy the re-allocation, so sbrk is called again to attempt to extend
the prior allocation. However, because the loaded dll called sbrk(),
the program brk had changed and so Perl_realloc attempts to return the
sbrk'd memory to the memory pool. Because the DLL did not sbrk an
integral multiple of NEEDED_ALIGNMENT, the new memory is not
NEEDED_ALIGNMENT-aligned.

I don't remember exactly what happens from there, but I believe that the
chained memory gets used and then freed, at which point the TWOK_MASKED
macro finds the wrong "start of chunk" and reports wrong chunk size for
the chunk and it's downhill from there.

So how do I know that this change fixed the problem without a
reproducible test case? In addition to code inspection, I temporarily
added some debug logging to note when the corrected code path was
encountered to be sure that the corrected code was being used. The
corrected version has been in use for months without a recurrence of the
problem.

Thank you for your bug report and your patch.

Would it be possible to supply some sample code which shows the problem?
(so that maybe a test can be added for it)


Kind regards,

From: Sisyphus, Tony Cook, Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes Hi,
According to the integer.pm documentation "the range of operands and results
is restricted
to that of familiar two's complement integers, i.e., -(2**31) .. (2**31-1)
on 32-bit
architectures".

Yet I'm getting (on 5.8.8, 5.10.0, and 5.11.0):

--------------------------------
C:\_32>perl -e "use integer;print 2**31"
2147483648
--------------------------------

Doesn't that contradict the documentation ?

I expected that one liner to output -2147483648, since that's the usual
signed
integer representation of 2 ** 31 on 32-bit architectures.

Iow, I was expecting that the above one liner would be equivalent to:

--------------------------------
C:\_32>perl -e "printf \"%d\", 2 ** 31"
-2147483648
--------------------------------

Cheers,
Rob

From: Dominic Dunlop, Ram kumar hi,
I am planning to run exiftool on my atmel platform AT91SAM9260
controller with arm926ej-s processor core.

The exiftool depends on perl.


So i need to cross compile perl for my atmel platform(AT91SAM9260 eval kit)
which runs on arm926ej-s processor.

anybody has cross compiled perl for arm926ej-s processor.....???

any link to cross compiled perl library or executable will be helpful to me
???

I tried using the perl from this website...but i am not able to use it in my
platform...??

i extracted all the files from the below package and pasted the files in to
my target filesystem.....when i invoke perl....this is what i get ??

# perl

# ./perl

This is a bug report for perl from lav@yar.ru,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
Under perl-5.10.0 the following simple program leaks memory,
while under perl-5.8.8 it does not. DBI module version is the
same under both perl versions (1.605). The leak seems to be not
specific to DBD driver, as it also happens with mysql and
oracle drivers.

use DBI;
my $dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:NullP:');
while(1) {
my $q=$dbh->prepare(q{select 1 from dual});
}

From: Jerry D. Hedden This patch produces the following warning:

sv.c: In function `Perl_sv_chop':
sv.c:4392: warning: 'max_delta' might be used uninitialized in this function

The added panic uses max_delta which hasn't been set until two lines
further down. I don't know what the proper fix should be.

> Change 34138 by nicholas@nicholas-saigo on 2008/07/13 20:22:25
>
> The assert()ions in sv_chop() that the passed in pointer is within the
> SV's buffer should be full-on panics, as bogus values passed in can
> cause later heap corruption, which is a bad thing (TM).
