I've attached an update of my previous refactoring of plperl.c.
It's been rebased over the current (git) HEAD and has a few
very minor additions.
Background:
I've started work on the enhancements to plperl I outlined on pg-general
(in the "Wishlist of PL/Perl Enhancements for 8.5" thread).
I have a working implementation of those changes, plus some performance
enhancements, that I'm now re-working into a clean set of tested and
polished patches.
This patch is a first step that doesn't add any extra functionality.
It refactors the internals to make adding the extra functionality
easier (and more clearly visible).
Changes in this patch:
- Changed MULTIPLICITY check from runtime to compiletime.
No loads the large Config module.
- Changed plperl_init_interp() to return new interp
and not alter the global interp_state
- Moved plperl_safe_init() call into check_interp().
- Removed plperl_safe_init_done state variable
as interp_state now covers that role.
- Changed plperl_create_sub() to take a plperl_proc_desc argument.
- Simplified return value handling in plperl_create_sub.
- Added a test for the effect of the utf8fix function.
- Changed perl.com link in the docs to perl.org and tweaked
wording to clarify that require, not use, is what's blocked.
- Moved perl code in large multi-line C string literal macros
out to plc_*.pl files.
- Added a test2macro.pl utility to convert the plc_*.pl files to
macros in a perlchunks.h file which is #included
Additions since previous verion:
- Replaced calls to SvPV(val, PL_na) with SvPV_nolen(val)
- Simplifed plperl_safe_init() slightly
- Removed trailing whitespace from new plc_*.pl files.
I'd appreciate any feedback on the patch.
Tim.
