<p>perl5261cdelta - what is new for cperl v5.26.1</p>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>This document describes the differences between the cperl 5.26.0c and the cperl 5.26.1c releases.</p>
<p>If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as v5.24.2c, first read the <a href="/cperl/perl5260cdelta.html">perl5260cdelta</a> documentation, which describes differences between v5.24.2c and v5.26.0c</p>
<h1 id="Performance-Enhancements">Performance Enhancements</h1>
<ul>
<li><p>Optimized method lookup on classes</p>
<p><code>hv_common()</code> can use combined <code>HV_FETCH_ISEXISTS</code>, which just skips the restricted stash error on classes.</p>
<p>Now again with the same speed as before 5.24.0c, using a single method hash lookup, not two.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>Various small documentation fixes. Swap out base.pm use for parent.pm. Remove use of deprecated \C regex feature. Filter::Simple was erroneously signalling eof if it encountered a ‘no MyFilter’ right after ‘use’: use MyFilter; no MyFilter; In this case it should simply not filter anything.</p>

<p>Fix bug <a href="https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=120300">https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=120300</a>. Unfortunately, this withdraws a small part of fix 114999. GNU <code>getopt_long()</code> does not accept the (optional) argument to be passed to the option without <code>=</code> sign. We do, since not doing so breaks existing scripts.</p>

<li><p><code>inc_version_list</code> skips now older development versions. It only includes older non-devel versions with even numbers. See <a href="https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/284">[cperl #284]</a></p>
</li>
<li><p><code>-Dusedevel</code> is needed to be added to all development versions anymore, it is now the default on such. A big warning is still being displayed, even in the usual silent auto mode <code>-des</code>. See <a href="https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/283">[cperl #283]</a></p>

<h2 id="cperlivp"><a>cperlivp</a></h2>
<ul>
<li><p>Add support for <code>-d DESTDIR</code>, e.g. after</p>
<pre><code> make -s -j4 install DESTDIR=$HOME/cperl-inst
cd $HOME/cperl-inst/usr/local/bin &&
./cperl cperlivp -p -d $HOME/cperl-inst</code></pre>

</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="Testing">Testing</h1>
<ul>
<li><p>Fixed <i>Porting/cmpVERSION.pl</i> resp. <i>t/porting/cmp_version.t</i></p>
</li>
<li><p>cygwin: loose file stat tests for AdminUsers</p>
</li>
</ul>

<dt id="mingw">mingw</dt>
<dd>
<p>cperl on mingw was previously unsupported and didn't compile nor work.</p>
<p>The plan is to use mingw 32bit and 64bit packages instead of MSVC compiled packages, which do require a special MS runtime DLL.</p>
<p>Fixed invalid check_type_and_open macro on mingw miniperl.</p>
<p>Fixed upstream mkstemp API changes.</p>
<p>getcwd is deprecated on Windows. use _getcwd() instead.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Removed the broken <i>dlltool</i>, which corrupted 64bit DLL's for years. In our case <a href="/cperl/lib/Cpanel/JSON/XS.html">Cpanel::JSON::XS</a> and <a href="/cperl/lib/Unicode/Normalize.html">Unicode::Normalize</a>. Just use <code>gcc</code> to create dll's and import libs, as in cygwin.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Added version specific gcc config values.</p>
<p>The default mingw configs were extremely defensive and slow. Even gcc-2.95.3 settings were disabled. Now several modern builtins and attributes are used.</p>
<p>Fixed the wrong <code>d_u32align</code> default, which caused <a href="/cperl/lib/Digest/MD5.html">Digest::MD5</a> to crash.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fixed <code>BUILTIN_*_OVERFLOW</code> macros for mingw64, which uses long long for normal IV/UV on win64.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Removed the version suffix from the importlib which is the entry for <code>$Config{libperl}</code>. <code>-lcperl</code> works now for the compiler and embedders. Just keep the version on MSVC, e.g. <i>cperl526.lib</i>, as this had special logic in perlcc already.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Improved <i>t/run/switchDBG.t</i> for <code>-D''</code> and <code>-T</code> tests.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fixed building of the extensions with the <i>Extensions_normalize</i> target.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Switched from <i>C:\MinGW</i> to <i>C:\Strawberry\c</i> as default <b>CCHOME</b> prefix. This is much more stable on 64bit, and easier to setup.</p>
</li>
<li><p>The compiler <i>perlcc</i> only works with very simple programs under mingw yet. With dynaloaded XS modules it usually fails.</p>
</li>

<h1 id="Selected-Bug-Fixes">Selected Bug Fixes</h1>
<ul>
<li><p>Support method lookup from classes, i.e. restricted stashes. Fix "Attempt to access disallowed key" error message with named hashes, i.e. stashes. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fixed signature corruption with skip'ed arguments without default and with 0, 1, undef or op defaults, such as in <code>sub func ($, $=0, $=1, $=2, $=do{$i++} $="foo", $a="bar", $b="zoot")</code>, with the first <code>$</code>, the 2nd <code>$=0</code>, the 3rd <code>$=1</code> and the 5th <code>$=do{}</code> argument. cperl-only. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Harmonized TOKENBUF_SIZE and stack buf sizes</p>
<p>The max identifier length depends on the max tokenbuf size, which went from 256 in perl5 to 1024 in cperl, mostly to speed up parsing with a larger parser buffer. A few places still had hardcoded 256 tmpbuf sizes, which led to wrong error messages. See <a href="https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/293">[cperl #293]</a>. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fixed one place in <code>ck_sort</code> for utf8 lexical variable names, which passed the unneeded UTF8 flag to <code>pad_findmy_pvn()</code>. In cperl all pads are normalized UTF8 for faster searches, the flag argument must be 0. See <a href="https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/293">[cperl #293]</a>. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fix regex stack recursion overflow with DEBUGGING</p>
<p>This is a regression since 5.26 (also in upstream perl5). Without DEBUGGING it failed with the error message "Unmatched ( in regex", now with more than 5000 open parens it will fail with the same error message. This would be security relevant if one would use a DEBUGGING perl in production as one can construct a pattern which writes arbitrary values to the stack, similar to the Storable (<a href="https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/257">[cperl #257]</a>, <a href="https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=97526">[cpan #97526]</a>) stack overflow and the old 5.10 regex stack overflow attack. See <a href="https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/293">[cperl #293]</a>. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fix NULL sv dereference in formline (for ^*) chop fallthrough to <code>FF_DECIMAL</code>. Coverity CID 165362</p>
<p>Backported from 5.27.2.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fixed sub rettype. When the sub decl return type attribute is a coretype set it. cperl-only. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Fixed wrong "Don’t stringify GV in numeric cx outside warnings scope" optimization from 5.18, which fails with code like <code>$* += (** = 0)</code>. See <a href="https://github.com/perl11/cperl/issues/299">[cperl #299]</a>. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Added missing arity check to <code>readline</code>. E.g. <code>readline(1,2,3)</code> errors now. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Attempting to apply an attribute to an <code>our</code> variable where a function of that name already exists could result in a NULL pointer being supplied where an SV was expected, crashing perl. See <a href="https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=131597">[perl #131597]</a>. Backported from 5.27.1c.</p>
