./devel/p5-Devel-CallChecker, Custom op checking attached to subroutines

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.009nb1, Package name: p5-Devel-CallChecker-0.009nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This module makes some new features of the Perl 5.14.0 C API available
to XS modules running on older versions of Perl. The features are
centred around the function cv_set_call_checker, which allows XS code
to attach a magical annotation to a Perl subroutine, resulting in
resolvable calls to that subroutine being mutated at compile time by
arbitrary C code. This module makes cv_set_call_checker and several
supporting functions available. (It is possible to achieve the effect
of cv_set_call_checker from XS code on much earlier Perl versions, but
it is painful to achieve without the centralised facility.)

This module provides the implementation of the functions at runtime
(on Perls where they are not provided by the core). It also, at
compile time, supplies the C header file and link library which
provide access to the functions. In normal use, "callchecker0_h" and
"callchecker_linkable" should be called at build time (not authoring
time) for the mo

Log message:
(devel/p5-Devel-CallChecker) Updated 0.008 to 0.009

version 0.009; 2023-04-10

  * port to Perl 5.33.1, which defines a PERL_VERSION_GE() macro that
    clashes with the one this module previously had

  * skip thread tests on some old versions of Perl (around 5.10.0) where
    a core bug makes thread creation violate an internal assertion and
    causes crashes

  * skip thread tests on pre-5.8.9 Perls where a core bug makes thread
    creation corrupt memory

  * skip thread tests on pre-5.8.3 Perls where a core bug makes thread
    completion break the global PL_sv_placeholder

  * put whitespace around C string literals being pasted, for C++11
    compatibility

  * avoid using C preprocessor directives inside a macro argument list
    (which is not valid)

  * in XS code in the test suite, when croaking, avoid using __FILE__
    as part of a format string, in case it includes a metacharacter

  * document the intended scope of this module's backporting effort

  * fix a documentation wording glitch

  * in XS declare as const some data that never changes

  * refactor thread tests

  * in XS, refactor Perl version comparisons

  * in XS, rename some macros for better style

  * in XS, better argument parenthesisation in some macros

  * avoid some compiler warnings

  * in .gitignore, list temporary files produced by test XS compilation
