4 weeks agostop lc() etc accidentally modifying in-place.
David Mitchell [Sun, 20 Mar 2016 17:12:13 +0000]
stop lc() etc accidentally modifying in-place.

As an optimisation, [ul]c() and [ul]cfirst() sometimes modify their
argument in-place rather than returning a modified copy.

This should only be done when there is no possibility that the arg is
going to be reused. However, this fails:

    use List::Util qw{ first };
    my %hash = ( ASD => 1, ZXC => 2, QWE => 3, TYU => 4);
    print first { lc $_ eq 'qwe' } keys %hash;

which prints "qwe" rather than "QWE".

Bascally everything in perl that sets $_ or $a/$b and calls a code block
or function, such as map, grep, for and, sort, either copies any PADTMPs,
turns off SvTEMP, and/or bumps the reference count.

List::Util doesn't do this, and it is likely that other CPAN modules
which do "set $_ and call a block" don't either.

This has been failing since 5.20.0: perl has been in-placing if the arg is
(SvTEMP && RC==1 && !mg) (due to v5.19.7-112-g5cd5e2d).

Make the optimisation critera stricter by always copying SvTEMPs.
It still allows the optimisation if the arg is a PADTMP - I don't know
whether this is unsafe too.

Perhaps we can think of something better after 5.24?

RT #127786: assertion failure with eval in DB pkg.

Normally a cloned anon sud has a NULL CvOUTSIDE(), unless that
sub can contain code that will do an eval.
However, calling eval from within the DB package pretends that the eval
was done in the caller's scope. which then trips up on the NULL
CvOUTSIDE().

[perl #127533] only test semctl() if we have everything needed to use it

In a FreeBSD jail, the semctl() entry point might exist, but can be
disabled by policy, when it is disabled, the Configure code that
tests for the different structures that can be supplied to semctl()
fail.

The code that implements semctl() for perl treats semctl() as
unimplemented if neither structure is available, so avoid testing
semctl() if the structures couldn't be detected.

Aaron Crane [Tue, 5 Apr 2016 07:08:18 +0000]
Remove unwarranted assertion in Perl_newATTRSUB_x()

RT #126845: if a stub subroutine definition with a prototype has been seen,
then any subsequent stub (or definition) of the same subroutine with an
attribute was causing an assertion failure because of a null pointer.

This assertion was added in 2eaf799e74b14dc77b90d5484a3fd4ceac12b46a, which
itself would already have triggered this assertion failure, even though all
subsequent uses of the pointer in question were guarded with non-null
conditions. So merely deleting the assertion is the right thing.

Chris 'BinGOs' Williams [Sun, 28 Feb 2016 15:53:56 +0000]
[perl #127624] corelist: wrong Digest::SHA version in 5.18.4

A bit of sleuthing showed that it was actually version bumped for
the v5.18.3 release.

Also noticed that Config hadn't been updated as well, sorted that
out too.

Sawyer X [Mon, 4 Apr 2016 17:06:54 +0000]
More updates to Module::CoreList:

I hope I got this right (I probably didn't though). The release
version was 20160121, not 20160220 or 20160221, so I'm not really
sure what's going on. Of course, with Module::CoreList I'm rarely
sure.

Still all tests pass and the world hasn't exploded yet, as far
as I know.

If you find a problem with this, I would appreciate a fix, but
also to ping me and tell me what I did wrong. I promise to update
the release checklist with it.

Thanks!

Suggest having the previous release ready.

Each time I do a release, I find myself scrambling to download the
tarball of the previous release, and install it so it can be compared
to the release that's worked on. Added a paragraph as a reminder to
that before the day of the release.

Abigail [Mon, 21 Mar 2016 16:56:51 +0000]
Point out that at some stage, porting tests will fail.

This trips me each and every time I make a release. Whenever the
release manager guide calls for a compile/make test cycle, I run
"make test_harness", and this fails at this stage, because Module::CoreList
has not been updated yet (the next action described in the release
managers guide is updating Module::CoreList).

I also removed some suboptimal advice I've written here in the past.

Remove outdated task in release:

that can upload perl distributions is automated and taken from:

    http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=who_pumpkin;OF=YAML

This means that if you're already on the list, you do not need
to check again on search.cpan.org or to bug Graham. :)
