- ithread_create() was relying on the stack not moving. Fix this.
-
- 4cf5eae5e58faebb changed S_ithread_create() to avoid creating an AV, by
- passing the thread creation arguments as pointers to a block of memory
- holding SVs. Unfortunately, this inadvertently introduced a subtle bug,
- because the block of memory is on the Perl stack, which can move as a side
- effect of being reallocated to extend it. Hence pass in the offset on the
- stack instead, read the current value of the relevant interpreter's stack
- at the point of access, and copy all the SVs away before making any further
- calls which might cause reallocation.

- Generate "Unsupported socket function" stubs using PL_ppaddr.
-
- Instead of having each socket op conditionally compile as either the
- implementation or a DIE() depending on #HAS_SOCKET
-
- 1: remove the conditional code from the ops themselves
- 2: only compile the ops if HAS_SOCKET is defined
- 3: general conditional code for the intialisation of PL_ppaddr - as
appropriate
- either the ops, or Perl_unimplemented_op
- 4: Amend Perl_unimplemented_op to generate the appropriate DIE() for socket
- ops (ie not the "panic"... message)
-
- Whilst this complicates the support code in regen/opcode.pl, it's already a
- net saving of 5 lines in the C code.

- [perl #81032] Overhaul Porting/epigraphs.pod
-
- This patch makes multiple changes to Porting/epigraphs.pod and
- pod/perlhist.pod.
-
- For those that don't know, Porting/epigraphs.pod is a new document that
- collects the quotes (chosen by Pumpkins) in perl release announcements.
-
- The changes are the following.
-
- 1. Add a link pointing to each release announcement in the mailing
- list archives. These are from ysth's list, the source from which
- Porting/epigraphs.pod was originally compiled, but they weren't in
- Porting/epigraphs.pod so far.
- 2. Reorder Porting/epigraphs.pod chronologically, because I believe
- that makes more sense -- pod/perlhist.pod is still sorted by version
numbers.
- 3. Incidentally, some missing releases are added to pod/perlhist.pod too.
- 4. Fix a mistake where Porting/epigraphs.pod gives the wrong version
number.
- 5. Add some epigraphs that appear in ysth's list but not in
- Porting/epigraphs.pod.
- 6. I did some research in perl history before the part that ysth's list
- covers, and added older perl announcements I found. This work is not
- complete: I stopped somewhere in 2000.

- Reorganize perlhack.pod
-
- Following on an IRC conversation, I've attempted to reorganize
- perlhack for greater clarity. I have only cut and paste blocks
- of text and amended section titles and levels. (I have not addressed
- any of the numerous factual issues which remain.)
-
- The resulting guide should be clearer for those trying to skim the
- table of contents to understand what is covered in perlhack and
- whether it is worth an in-depth read.
-
- I see this change as the first step towards future improvements.
