I have just sent an email to Marc with the latest patch, asking to apply the patch and release a new version. P5P was CC'ed on the email as well. My understanding of the current state of this 5.28 blocker ticket is: 1) A bug fix to blead removed an inadvertent user-visible difference between '@b = sort @a' and '@a sort @a'; the latter is internally optimised, but such optimisations shouldn't make visible changes to sort behaviour. 2) AnyEvent relied on this now-fixed buggy behaviour; 3) A patch has been privately submitted to Marc; 4) There has not been a new release of AnyEvent yet; 5) There was a brief discussion about the desirability of an explicit in-place sort feature. I propose a) this ticket is removed from 5.28 blockers. b) is kept open in case anyone wants to propose an in-place sort syntax or mechanism. -- Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.Thread Previous | Thread Next
