Log message:
perl5: Compare inode numbers as string. Bump revision.

PR pkg/55997

Internal stat() function for perl stores inode number as string, if it
cannot be represented by host's integer. However, unfortunately, some
components compare them as integer.

Therefore, if 64-bit integers are not supported, files cannot be handled,
whose inode number is larger than UINT32_MAX.

Usually, inode numbers on real filesystems are well below UINT32_MAX. But,
inode numbers larger than UINT32_MAX are assigned for tmpfs on LP64 kernels.
This results in build failures for perl on COMPAT_NETBSD32 if working
directory is tmpfs, and perl-64bitint and friends are not specified.

Now, inode numbers are compared as string, which works just fine even if
64-bit integers are not supported.

Cherry-picked from upstream. See https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18788
and related pull-requests for more details.

*: recursive bump for perl 5.34
   2021-05-24 19:46:25 by Thomas Klausner | Files touched by this commit (7) | Package updated
Log message:
perl: update to 5.34.0.

= Core Enhancements

= Experimental Try/Catch Syntax

An initial experimental attempt at providing C<try>/C<catch> notation has
been added.

    use feature 'try';

    try {
        a_function();
    }
    catch ($e) {
        warn "An error occurred: $e";
    }

For more information, see L<perlsyn/"Try Catch Exception Handling">.

= C<qr/{,n}/> is now accepted

An empty lower bound is now accepted for regular expression quantifiers,
like C<{,3}>.

= Blanks freely allowed within but adjacent to curly braces

(in double-quotish contexts and regular expression patterns)

This means you can write things like S<C<\x{ FFFC }>> if you like.  This
applies to all such constructs, namely C<\b{}>, C<\g{}>, C<\k{}>,
C<\N{}>, C<\o{}>, and C<\x{}>; as well as the regular expression
quantifier C<{I<m>,I<n>}>.  C<\p{}> and C<\P{}> \ 
retain their
already-existing, even looser, rules mandated by the Unicode standard
(see L<perluniprops/Properties accessible through \p{} and \P{}>).

This ability is in effect regardless of the presence of the C</x>
regular expression pattern modifier.

Additionally, the comma in a regular expression braced quantifier may
have blanks (tabs or spaces) before and/or after the comma, like
S<C<qr/a{ 5, 7 }/>>.

= New octal syntax C<0oI<ddddd>>

It is now possible to specify octal literals with C<0o> prefixes,
as in C<0o123_456>, parallel to the existing construct to specify
hexadecimal literal C<0xI<ddddd>> and binary literal \ 
C<0bI<ddddd>>.
Also, the builtin C<oct()> function now accepts this new syntax.

See L<perldata/Scalar value constructors> and L<perlfunc/oct EXPR>.

Fix a memory leak in RegEx
[L<GH #18604|https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18604>]

= Modules and Pragmata

= New Modules and Pragmata

=item *

L<ExtUtils::PL2Bat> 0.004 has been added to the Perl core.

This module is a generalization of the C<pl2bat> script. It being a script has
led to at least two forks of this code; this module will unify them under one
implementation with tests.

Documentation

New Documentation

perlgov

Documentation of the newly formed rules of governance for Perl.

perlsecpolicy

Documentation of how the Perl security team operates and how the
team evaluates new security reports.

Changes to Existing Documentation

We have attempted to update the documentation to reflect the changes
listed in this document. If you find any we have missed, open an
issue at https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues.

Additionally, the following selected changes have been made:

perlop

    Document range op behaviour change.

Diagnostics

The following additions or changes have been made to diagnostic
output, including warnings and fatal error messages. For the complete
list of diagnostic messages, see perldiag.

Changes to Existing Diagnostics

    \K not permitted in lookahead/lookbehind in regex; marked by
    <-- HERE in m/%s/

    This error was incorrectly produced in some cases involving
    nested lookarounds. This has been fixed.

    [GH #18123]

Configuration and Compilation

    Newer 64-bit versions of the Intel C/C++ compiler are now
    recognized and have the correct flags set.

    We now trap SIGBUS when Configure checks for va_copy.

    On several systems the attempt to determine if we need va_copy
    or similar results in a SIGBUS instead of the expected SIGSEGV,
    which previously caused a core dump.

    [GH #18148]

Testing

Tests were added and changed to reflect the other additions and
changes in this release.

Platform Support

Platform-Specific Notes

MacOS (Darwin)

    The hints file for darwin has been updated to handle future
    macOS versions beyond 10. Perl can now be built on macOS Big
    Sur.

    [GH #17946, GH #18406] Minix

    Build errors on Minix have been fixed.

    [GH #17908]

Selected Bug Fixes

    Some list assignments involving undef on the left-hand side
    were over-optimized and produced incorrect results.

    [GH #16685, GH #17816]

    Fixed a bug in which some regexps with recursive subpatterns
    matched incorrectly.

    [GH #18096]

    Fixed a deadlock that hung the build when Perl is compiled for
    debugging memory problems and has PERL_MEM_LOG enabled.

    [GH #18341]

    Fixed a crash in the use of chained comparison operators when
    run under "no warnings 'uninitialized'".

    [GH #17917, GH #18380]

    Exceptions thrown from destructors during global destruction
    are no longer swallowed.
