* t/c_argv.t: cleanup
1.10 2009-12-29 rurban

* t/testcore.t: added
* t/c_argv.t: added. test @ARGV and perlcc
* perlcc (2.06): grab_stash only via new -stash, not automatically;
B::C is better.
ldopts -std only when modules are given.
fix for empty options.
add -sharedxs, -sharedlib; -shared is now for shared linkage,
-sharedlib to create a shared lib (was -shared before but never worked),

Adapt coding guidelines, add C and cperl coda. Reformat sources.
* C.pm: Detect AUTOLOAD and CLONE (test 27 and 31).
5.10 is now the best release for unoptimized B::C. 5.8 is faster optimized,
but misses some autoloaded xsubs.

Added CV->save_magic (untested)
Fixed two wrong my decelarations detected by the new Od debugger.

Going public on the Perl birthday
The first public compiler re-release since it was removed from CORE.
* C.pm: Had to disable -O1 -fcog (pv_copy_on_grow) on 5.10 and higher
until I find out how to fool S_unshare_hek_or_pvn. This fixes all C

CV main::a, protect PVMG from SvPAD_OUR.
fix wrong RV init on 5.11 for test 29
* CC.pm: fix ARGS >=5.10 (in require, test 28).

[Nick Koston]

Not even the Byteloader works for 5.6 assembled code. The Disassembler
does not stop at ret. Fixed several C tests.

to force exact bytecode numbering as with 5.8.
Allow float versions, such as 10.001 for subreleases.

Added logic to include all possible unsupported ops, all holes.
bytecode table checked for 5.6.1, 5.6.2, 5.8.0, 5.8.1-5.11
Note, that I found official and contradicting 5.6.1 releases.
ActiveState 5.6.1.626 had no op_children, the unix release tarball
with 5.6.1 (called Trial 1) still has it.

try out executing older bytecodes.
* C.pm: fix test 16 on 5.10 again, non-threaded only (GVAV magic).
first fix in 1.04_24, broken in 1.04_28. On 5.11 I have a broken
RV handling here.

(experimental).
First attempts with pv and hek consting failed.

(test 15) all remaining 5.8 C bugs.
* C.pm: assign the PVX of GV also for empty stashes (main::) to avoid
destruction failures at Perl_pad_undef() SvPVX_const(namesv) == '&'.

* C.pm: fix -fcog (Copy on Grow with -O1 and -O2) for >= 5.10 by a new
SVPV.
Statically initialize PVs with a union layout trick. Use char* as first
union member.
Revert xpvcv+svsect changes to pre-initialize those structs against
gvcv recursion.
* t/b.t, t/o.t, t/stash.t: fix tests for 5.6.2
* bytecode.c: byteorder swab only if same length.
1234 => 4321, 12345678 => 87654321.
Skip a 0x prefix for byteorder in the header. Perl 5.6 had this.
* Assembler.pm (0.07_06): 5.6 byteorder fix: until 5.6 the
$Config{byteorder} was falsely dependent on ivsize, we need longsize.
Add 0x to byteorder in header again, as with 5.6.
* t/testc.sh: do not run old leftovers. some 5.6 optimizations
* t/c_o1.t, t/c_o2.t, t/cc_o2.t, t/cc_o2.t: added

* Fixed verbose Bytecode for old B::Concise (5.8.8). t/testplc.sh
failed before.
* ByteLoader: Work on portability (different arch, version and sizes).
Added bl_header.
Changed macro BYTECODE_HEADER_CHECK to function bytecode_header_check().
Fixes for no threads.
* bytecode.h: pregcomp fix for 5.10 w/o threads
(Thanks to david@cantrell.org.uk for his cpantest for netbsd).
use xpv_cur and not xpv_len for the rx length (len - 1) to strip off
the ending nul byte.
5.10: new minlen check aborts
* ByteLoader security: added strconst maxsize flag to bytecode.pl
for buffer overflow checks.
* Bytecode -DA for devel assertions of absolute or probably wrong opindex
pointers (nyi)
* disassemble, B::Assembler: commented output, similar to -MO=Bytecode,-S
Added backwards option --bare for older assemblers.
* assemble, disassemble: added pod
* B::Disassembler:
Provide default printers print_insn (commented) and print_insn_bare.
Portability: Use the header settings from the .plc and not the current
perl settings.
* B::Assembler 0.07_03, B::Disassembler 1.05_02, ByteLoader 0.06_03:
Added longsize to the bytecode header, just for xcv_depth.
* B::Debug 1.05_03: Fixes for no threads.
* Makefile.PL: Fixed script/perlcc.PL dependency
make: *** No rule to make target `script/perlcc', needed by
`blib/bin/perlcc'.
(Thanks to david@cantrell.org.uk for his cpantest for solaris)

* Added orangesect for enough regexp space in RE's sv_any.
Engine not initialized though.
* Hangs in C/CC executables at an op_free(PL_main_root) trying to free
the static op structs because the earlier op_seq -1 hack is gone now,
and opt_static was replaced by opt_latefree. Set now opt_latefree = 1.
This fixed tests 1 and 13. Slowly making progress step by step.

TODO: different strategy for B::C, must link xpv to sv
* add and parse Assembler comments
* add Bytecode comments to -S output unless -q

- freadpv() is only used in B.xs, so move it there
- byte*.h are now included by perl.h
- regenerate embed*.h

move to the base perl directory (e.g. headers). Will need some
cleaning up before it builds properly, I would guess.
