Revision history for Perl extension Want.
0.01 Sun Jul 1 18:04:58 2001
- original version; created by h2xs 1.1.1.4 with options
-A Want
- Published to CPAN on 2001-07-15
0.02 Mon Jul 16 10:06:15 2001
- Give correct expectation count for constructs like
my ($x, $y, $z) = (23, foo()); # foo's expectation count is 2
- want(2) should be true in C<@x = foo()> etc;
i.e. infinity > N for any finite N :-)
- Support '!' negative requests
- correct expectation count for slices
0.03 Wed Jul 25 12:03:01 BST 2001
- Fix documentation snafus
- add want('COUNT') as a synonym for C<howmany>
and want('REF') for C<wantref>
- BOOLEAN context
- now compiles & passes tests under ithreads
- SCALARREF and OBJECT reference contexts
(want('REF') eq 'SCALAR' || want('REF') eq 'OBJECT')
- Reorganised test suite
0.04 Sat Aug 4 09:44:34 BST 2001
- 'want' is now exported by default
- BOOL is a euphemism for BOOLEAN (Perl 6 compatibility)
- ARGUMENTS section added to documentation
- excised C++-style comments from the source
- fixed the expectation count issue from the BUGS section of 0.03
- ASSIGN context. Yeah, baby!
- don't throw an error if RVALUE/LVALUE are used from a non-lvalue sub
- specifiers can also now be space-separated, e.g.:
want('LVALUE ASSIGN');
0.05 Tue Aug 28 22:14:48 BST 2001
- tests pass on 5.6.1 and above
- added 'rreturn' and 'lnoreturn' functions
0.06 Fri Jul 25 11:42:13 BST 2003
- pass thread context to Perl_pop_return
- remove v-string
0.07 Mon Aug 18 10:27:27 BST 2003
- do not try to call pop_return (it's private)
- update copyright year(s) and fix doc glitches
- remove spurious || $n eq 'gelem' from _wantref
- change i to I32 (rather than U32) to avoid compiler warning
on Win32
0.08 Mon Dec 13 01:23:28 GMT 2004
- Accommodate the changed internals of perl 5.9.2
(the retstack is no more: see change #23156).
0.09 Thu Jun 30 15:02:37 BST 2005
- Fix a bug reported by Damian: want doesn't work (crashes) if
it's called from within the guard of a loop. See the comment
above upcontext_plus in Want.xs.
- Runs under the debugger!
- Give an error message (rather than segfaulting) if called from
a tie handler.
0.10 Sat Mar 25 15:00:41 GMT 2006
- Make context propagate through subroutine return
- Fix bug whereby want('LVALUE') sometimes gave false positives
(see test 58 in t/all.t)
- Fix bug whereby want_boolean often gave false positives
0.11 Sat Aug 26 22:36:27 BST 2006
- (Jerry D. Hedden) Fix bug whereby 'lnoreturn' failed to
decrement the CvDEPTH, which causes an error with 'use threads'
0.12 Tue Aug 29 21:06:40 BST 2006
- (Jerry D. Hedden) Force the threads test to be skipped if oldstyle
threads (as opposed to ithreads) are in use.
0.13 Tue May 1 21:39:19 BST 2007
- Address bug #26847, and add t/methcall.t
0.14 Fri May 4 12:00:20 BST 2007
- Fix bug #26928
0.15 Sun Jul 15 14:39:15 BST 2007
- Fix compiler warning (#26961) -- from Jerry D. Hedden
- Fix memory leak in want_assign (#28224)
0.16 Thu Dec 6 11:15:39 GMT 2007
- Make sure there are no ._ files in the tarball
- Refuse to run Makefile.PL with Perl < 5.006
0.17 Sun Feb 3 22:30:30 GMT 2008
- Be compatible with internals changes post-5.10 (new loop contexts & CxLVAL)
0.18 Mon Feb 4 09:35:56 GMT 2008
- Code identical to 0.17; eliminate ._files by using gnutar.
0.19 Sat 30 Jul 2011 17:07:16 BST
- Change tests to avoid the new warning 'Useless assignment to a temporary' added in 5.15.
0.20 Sun 5 Feb 2012 17:43:22 GMT
- Remove a test that was testing the behaviour of perl, rather than of this module,
and was testing an aspect of perl’s behaviour that has changed (bf8fb5ebd) in
in such a way that the test was failing with bleadperl.
0.21 Wed 29 Feb 2012 16:47:58 GMT
- Avoid leaking the RHS of an lnoreturn lvalue sub, thanks to Father Chrysostomos
