1 Revision history for indirect
3 0.27 2013-01-30 19:00 UTC
4 + Fix : [RT #82562] : indirect/Devel::CallParser interaction
5 indirect has been taught to play nicely with Devel::CallParser.
6 Thanks Andrew Main for the patch.
7 + Tst : Author tests overhaul.
9 0.26 2011-10-23 14:25 UTC
10 + Add : "no indirect 'global'" enables the pragma for the whole program,
11 except for lexical scopes that "use indirect" explicitely.
12 + Chg : Passing both the 'fatal' and 'hook' options to unimport() is
13 now considered an error, and will result in an exception.
14 unimport() used to consider only the first passed option of
15 those two, and silently ignored the other.
16 + Tst : Test failures of t/41-threads-teardown.t and t/50-external.t on
17 Cygwin should have been addressed.
18 + Tst : Threads tests will not fail anymore if resources constraints
19 prevent the system from creating all the required threads.
21 0.25 2011-08-24 15:40 UTC
22 + Fix : RT #69291 is now also fixed for perl 5.8. The pragma will no
23 longer vivify the "indirect" entry in the hints hash %^H on
25 + Tst : Attempt to make t/50-external.t pass on Cygwin.
27 0.24 2011-07-17 23:15 UTC
28 + Fix : [RT #64521] : "no indirect" leaking into eval.
29 This is currently only fixed for perl 5.10 (perl 5.12 and
30 higher were never affected). It was caused by a very stupid
31 mistake of mine that was introduced in indirect version 0.23.
32 Thanks Michael G Schwern for reporting.
33 + Fix : [RT #69291] : indirect.pm breaks %^H.
34 This was caused by the same mistake as for the previous bug,
35 and as such it is also only fixed for perl 5.10 (and never
37 Thanks Andrew Main for reporting.
38 + Doc : C++ compilers are officially NOT supported.
40 0.23 2010-10-03 00:15 UTC
41 + Fix : Some indirect constructs could be incorrectly reported when
42 several modules were used in the same scope. This caused
43 t/30-scope.t to fail randomly.
44 + Tst : Threads tests are now only run on perl 5.13.4 and higher.
45 They could segfault randomly because of what seems to be an
46 internal bug of Perl, which has been addressed in 5.13.4.
47 There is also an environment variable that allows you to
48 forcefully run those tests, but it should be set only for
49 author testing and not for end users.
51 0.22 2010-08-16 16:00 UTC
52 + Add : Indirect constructs are now reported for code interpolated
53 in quote-like environments, like "${\( ... )}", "@{[ ... ]}",
54 s/pattern/ ... /e, qr/(?{ ... })/ or qr/(??{ ... })/.
55 + Add : You can now make the pragma lethal by passing anything matching
56 /^:?fatal$/i to import(), including "FATAL" and ":Fatal".
57 + Fix : [RT #60378] : segmentation fault on indirect_ck_method.
58 This caused constructs like "@{[ $obj->$meth ]}" to segfault
59 when $meth was a lexical.
60 Thanks Tokuhiro Matsuno for reporting.
62 0.21 2010-05-31 23:10 UTC
63 + Chg : perl 5.8.1 is now required (instead of 5.8.0).
64 + Fix : [RT #57699] : indirect fail with 64-bit int on 5.13.1.
65 It was actually a problem with thread destructors segfaulting
66 because they weren't called at the right time anymore.
67 Thanks Andrew Main for reporting.
68 + Tst : A few more regression tests about the scope leak bug.
70 0.20 2010-04-18 21:25 UTC
71 + Fix : [RT #50570] : "indirect" leaking into LWP.
72 Thanks Andrew Main for reporting.
73 More generally, the require propagation workaround on 5.8-5.10.0
74 has been overhauled, and other scope leaks should be fixed.
75 + Fix : Test failures with 5.12 on Windows where Strawberry Perl crashes
76 because the SystemRoot environment variable is missing.
77 + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
79 0.19 2009-08-28 18:40 UTC
80 + Add : The new constant I_FORKSAFE can be tested to know whether the
81 module will behave nicely when fork()ing. It's currently always
82 true except on Windows where you need perl 5.10.1 for it to be
84 + Fix : I_THREADSAFE and I_FORKSAFE ought to be true when
85 PERL_INDIRECT_PM_DISABLE is set.
86 + Fix : The pragma could still leak if you passed to the "hook" option
87 a reference to the same (named) subroutine from two different
88 require scopes. The fix also provides a better solution for
90 + Fix : Segfaults when indirect is loaded for the first time from
92 + Fix : Leaks of memory associated with the root interpreter.
93 + Opt : Less memory will be used for non-threaded perls version 5.10.0
94 and below, and for threaded perls from version 5.10.1.
96 0.18 2009-08-23 16:15 UTC
97 + Add : When set, the PERL_INDIRECT_PM_DISABLE environment variable
98 disables the pragma globally.
100 0.17 2009-07-16 12:10 UTC
101 + Fix : [RT #47902] : "no indirect" leaking again.
102 This actually turned out to be a bug in how the hook coderefs
103 were stored in the hints hash.
104 Thanks Andrew Main for reporting once again.
105 + Fix : t/80-regressions.t failing on Windows.
106 + Tst : Yet more cleanups.
108 0.16 2009-07-14 16:50 UTC
109 + Add : Indirect calls on blocks are now reported. For those, '{' is
110 passed to the hook as the object description.
111 + Add : The new indirect::msg() function publicizes the default
112 warning/exception message.
113 + Fix : [RT #47866] : Segfault with UTF-8 regexps.
114 Thanks Andrew Main for reporting.
117 0.15 2009-07-08 22:55 UTC
118 + Fix : Invalid constructs with the same method and package name were
120 + Fix : The error line number used to point to the end of the expression
121 instead of its beginning.
123 0.14 2009-06-04 21:55 UTC
124 + Fix : Prevent bogus invalid syntaxes caused by reallocated memory
125 chunks. Thanks Andrew Main for reporting with a reproducible
128 0.13 2009-05-24 18:50 UTC
129 + Add : The hook now receives the file name and the line where the
130 error happened in respectively $_[2] and $_[3].
131 + Fix : Pass mortalized copies of the method name and object to the
132 hook. This seems to fix some rare crashes.
133 + Fix : Work around a bug in perl 5.10.0 and lower. Thanks Andrew Main
134 for teaching me about this issue.
135 + Fix : Report the correct file in error messages (a regression from the
138 0.12 2009-05-03 14:30 UTC
139 + Add : You can specify the action to execute for each indirect
140 construct encountered with the new "hook => $coderef" unimport()
142 + Chg : A ptable is now used internally for the op => position mapping.
143 + Fix : The pragma is now built with thread safety features enabled
144 whenever possible (a notable exception is perl 5.8.x on Win32,
145 as something seems wrong with its context handling).
146 The new indirect::I_THREADSAFE() constant reflects this.
147 + Fix : A negation precedence nit in indirect_ck_entersub().
148 + Tst : "use/no indirect" while parsing an indirect construct.
149 + Tst : Thread safety.
151 0.11 2009-02-08 18:35 UTC
152 + Fix : Potential collisions by hashing pointers with a wrong format.
153 + Upd : Resources in META.yml.
155 0.10 2009-01-17 12:40 UTC
156 Re-release 0.09_01 as stable.
158 0.09_01 2008-12-08 17:55 UTC
159 + Fix : Invalid memory read with "${\(new Foo)}" constructs. The
160 corresponding test is turned back on.
161 + Tst : Refinements in t/30-scope.t
163 0.09 2008-12-05 20:35 UTC
164 + Add : Support for perl 5.8.
165 + Tst : Skip a test in t/10-good.t that randomly segfaults for (I guess)
166 systems stricter than linux in the way they manage their memory.
168 0.08 2008-10-22 14:45 UTC
169 + Fix : A rare edge case for package whose names are prefix of 'main'.
170 + Tst : Test $$ as variable and state variables.
172 0.07_03 2008-10-17 20:10 UTC
173 + Add : Support and tests for variables with spaces after the sigil.
174 + Upd : META.yml spec updated to 1.4.
176 0.07_02 2008-10-15 21:10 UTC
177 + Add : Support and tests for package variables.
178 + Tst : Coverage improved by removing dead code.
180 0.07_01 2008-10-15 16:00 UTC
181 + Fix : [RT #40055] : Not handling RV2SV => GV(SV) correctly, which
182 could cause 'no indirect; print' segfaults. Thanks Goro Fuji for
185 0.06 2008-10-11 16:45 UTC
187 + Tst : Test "no indirect 'anything'", "foo Class->bar", and indirect
188 uses of exec() and system().
190 0.05 2008-10-02 14:40 UTC
191 + Chg : Now the old check function is always called before storing an op
193 + Fix : Misc code and docs refinements.
195 0.04 2008-08-30 19:00 UTC
196 + Fix : Clean up the op->src hash when we're done with an entersub.
197 + Tst : No longer fork for testing. IPC::Cmd isn't required anymore.
199 0.03 2008-08-12 15:25 UTC
200 This release is kindly supported by Copenhagen Hotel Centrum WiFi.
201 + Fix : Tests used not to pass PERL5OPTS to their kids. This lead to
202 failures under CPAN. I think.
205 0.02 2008-08-11 15:55 UTC
206 + Fix : Some building failures with old gcc versions that didn't seem to
207 like the ((hint == 2) ? croak : warn)(msg) construct. I think.
208 + Rem : Unused cruft from a previous implementation.
209 + Tst : Fail more gracefully when we can't capture buffers or when the
210 child returned an error.
212 0.01 2008-08-10 20:40 UTC
213 First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
