1 Revision history for autovivification

4 + Fix : The pragma no longer vivifies the "autovivification" entry
5 in the hints hash %^H on perl 5.8.

8 + Fix : [RT #64435] : Hangs with File::Copy in Config.pm.
9 This was actually a regression introduced together with the new
10 peephole optimizer strategy, and that caused the pragma to hang
11 on constructs like "for (;;) { ... }".
12 Thanks Michael Schilli for reporting.

15 + Fix : Building on Windows.

18 + Chg : perl 5.8.3 is required.
19 + Doc : Complements and clarifications.
20 + Fix : Segmentation faults and misbehaviours in threaded applications.
21 + Fix : Compatibility with perl 5.13.7.
22 Thanks Andreas J. König for reporting and Andrew Main for
24 + Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in
25 particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite.
26 For those setups, the autovivification shared library will now
27 be linked against the perl dll directly (instead of the import
29 + Opt : The pragma takes slightly more time at compile-time, but is
30 slightly faster at run-time.
31 + Tst : Lengthy tests have been ported to Test::Leaner, making the
32 whole test suite about 50% faster.
33 + Tst : Threads tests are now only run on perl 5.13.4 and higher.
34 They could segfault randomly because of what seems to be an
35 internal bug of Perl, which has been addressed in 5.13.4.
36 There is also an environment variable that allows you to
37 forcefully run those tests, but it should be set only for
38 author testing and not for end users.

41 + Add : The A_THREADSAFE and A_FORKSAFE constants.
42 + Fix : [RT #56870] : "no autovivification" vs Regexp::Common.
43 This was a bug in how tied arrays and hashes were handled.
44 Thanks Michael G. Schwern for reporting.
45 + Fix : Scope leaks under perl 5.8-5.10.0.
46 + Fix : Segfaults when first loading the pragma from inside a thread.
48 0.05 2010-03-05 23:15 UTC
49 + Fix : [RT #55154] : Crashes and assertion failures when deparsing and
50 re-eval-uating some code compiled while autovivification was in
52 Thanks Michael G. Schwern for reporting.
53 + Fix : [RT #53647] : "leys" typo in pod.
54 Thanks Hinrik Orn Sigurdsson for reporting.

57 + Add : Array and hash slices are now handled by the pragma.
58 + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
60 0.03 2009-06-23 22:20 UTC
61 + Add : Handle old-fashion dereferencing (like $$hashref{key}).
62 + Chg : Aliasing constructs (for ($x{foo}) { ... }) are now covered by
63 the 'store' category (and no longer the 'fetch' one). This is
64 because there's no way to know at compile-time if the alias
66 + Fix : Quadratic complexity at compile-time.
67 + Fix : Segfaults when dereferencing globals.
68 + Fix : Segfaults on big-endian systems.
69 + Tst : Really test plain arrays and hashes.
70 + Tst : Improved coverage.
72 0.02 2009-06-17 18:05 UTC
73 + Add : 'fetch' also applies to aliasing ("for ($hashref->{key}) { }").
74 + Fix : Don't segfault on "keys/values %$hashref", and don't vivify if
76 + Fix : Plain dereferencing shouldn't have a different behaviour when
78 + Tst : Improved coverage.
