Revision history for autodie 2.16 2013-02-23 01:49:16 Australia/Melbourne * BUGFIX: Fix breakages under 5.8.x related to the new autodie::skip feature. * BUILD / BUGFIX: Remove dependency on parent.pm. 2.15 2013-02-22 23:55:22 Australia/Melbourne * BUILD / BUGFIX: Correct meta-info that wanted at least Perl v5.8.40, rather than v5.8.4. Giant thanks to Paul Howarth for spotting this! 2.14 2013-02-22 15:43:33 Australia/Melbourne * FEATURE: Classes which claim they ->DOES('autodie::skip') are now skipped when generating exceptions. This is mainly of use to utility classes. See `perldoc autodie::skip` for more details. (GH Issue #15) * FEATURE / BUGFIX / INCOMPAT: 'chmod' is now in the ':filesys' category (was in ':file'). * BUGFIX: Added support for 'chown' and 'utime', that was previously overlooked. Mad props to RsrchBoy for spotting this. These are all in the ':filesys' category. (GH Pull #13) * BUGFIX: Added support for 'kill'. This is part of the ':ipc' category. * BUGFIX: Fixed bug whereby chmod, chown, kill, unlink and utime would not throw an exception when they didn't change all their files or signal all their processes. * TEST: truncate.t is now skipped on systems that don't have a working File::Temp. * TEST: open.t has a few more tests for exotic modes. * TEST: chown() tests are skipped on Win32, as chown on Windows is a no-op. (Thanks to Mithaldu for spotting this!) * TEST: Author tests now look for the AUTHOR_TESTING env variable (for dzil compliance). * TEST: Better testing for chown, chmod, and unlink. * TEST: Better testing for utime. * TEST: kwalitee.t is now only run when $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} is set. * BUGFIX: Removed executable bits from some bundled text files. * BUILD: We now use dzil to manage autodie. * BUILD: Only Perl 5.8.4 and above is supported by autodie. Please upgrade your Perl distro if you're using 5.8.3 or below. 2.13 Thu Nov 8 14:22:03 EST 2012 * TEST: Deterministic tests in hints_pod_examples.t . (RT #80412, thanks to demerphq) * INTERNAL: subroutine installs are now done in a deterministic order. (RT #80414, thanks to demerphq) 2.12 Tue Jun 26 14:55:04 PDT 2012 * BUGFIX: autodie now plays nicely with the 'open' pragma (RT #54777, thanks to Schwern). * BUILD: Updated to Module::Install 1.06 * BUILD: Makefile.PL is less redundant. * TEST: t/pod-coverage.t no longer thinks LEXICAL_TAG is a user-visible subroutine. 2.11 Sat Mar 24 01:50:56 AUSEST 2012 * DOCS: Explicitly documented that autodie is context unaware. (Thanks to chromatic.) * TEST: Multi-arg open tests are skipped on VMS. (Thanks to Craig A. Berry.) * TEST BUGFIX recv.t shouldn't assume STDIN is a file handle. (Thanks to Todd Rinaldo) * TEST: Fixed compatibility with Carp 1.25. (Thanks to Olivier Mengué.) * INTERNAL: Exception classes are loaded more safely. (Thanks to Schwern) 2.10 Sat Feb 27 14:01:18 AUSEST 2010 * BUGFIX: Fatal and autodie no longer leak Carp functions into the caller's namespace. Thanks to Schwern. * TEST: Multi-arg open tests are really really skipped under Windows now. * DOCUMENTATION: Many more people are properly attributed in the 'AUTHORS' file. 2.09 Tue Feb 23 00:33:09 AUSEST 2010 * DOCS: Fixed documentation typo. RT #48575 Thanks to David Taylor. * TEST: Tests involved multi-arg open are skipped on Windows (where multi-arg pipe is not implemented). 2.08 Mon Feb 8 14:24:26 AUSEST 2010 * BUGFIX: Addeds support for chmod. Many thanks to Jonathan Yu for reporting this (RT #50423). * BUGFIX: Multi-arg open is now supported by open. Many thanks to Nick Cleaton for finding and fix this bug. (RT #52427) * BUILD: Updated to Module::Install 0.93 2.07 Fri Jul 31 16:35:40 BST 2009 * FEATURE: Added ->eval_error to autodie::exception, which stores the contents of $@ at the time autodie throws its own exception. This is useful when dealing with modules such as Text::Balanced which set (but do not throw) $@ on error. * TEST: Checking for flock() support no longer causes test failures on older VMS sysstems. (RT #47812) Thanks to Craig A. Berry for supplying a patch. * TEST: hints.t tests should no longer cause bogus failures relating to File::Copy on VMS and Windows systems prior to Perl 5.10.2. 2.06 Tue Jul 7 00:01:37 AUSEST 2009 * BUG: Explicitly documented that autodie does NOT play nicely with string evals, especially under Perl 5.10.x. Please avoid using string evals while autodie is in scope. * TEST: Check for autodie leaking out of scope in the presence of string evals. (string-eval-leak.t) Thanks to Florian Ragwitz and Vincent Pit for identifying this. * BUGFIX: autodie once again correctly works when used inside a string eval. (This was accidently broken somewhere around 1.997-1.998). 2.05 Sat Jul 4 16:33:01 AUSEST 2009 * BUGFIX: format_default() in autodie::exception no longer returns a string with file and line attached. This would cause the file and line information to appear twice when format handlers would choose to fall back to the defaults. The file and line information is now always added by stringify(). (RT #47520, thanks to Michael Schwern) * BUGFIX: Exceptions thrown by 2-argument open() are more likely to specify the mode as 'for reading' when no explicit mode was given. (RT #47520, thanks to Michael Schwern) 2.04 Thu Jul 2 18:56:57 AUSEST 2009 * TEST: Removed spurious warning about insufficient credit. * TEST: hints.t produces less debugging output when testing the Perl core. (Thanks to Jerry D. Hedden) * TEST: hints.t no longer spuriously fails when checking the return values from File::Copy under Windows before Perl 5.10.1. (Thanks to Curtis Jewell) 2.03 Wed Jul 1 15:39:16 AUSEST 2009 * BUGFIX: Stopped blog_hints.t from booching under Perl 5.8.x. because parent.pm is not installed. 2.02 Wed Jul 1 15:06:21 AUSEST 2009 * FEATURE: autodie::exception now supports ->context() to discover the context of the failing subroutine, and ->return() to get a list of what it returned. * BUGFIX: ->function from autodie::exception now returns the original name of the dying sub, rather than its imported name. For example, 'File::Copy::copy' rather than 'main::copy'. Core functions continue to always return 'CORE::whatever'. * TEST: blog_hints.t tests new hinting features against examples in my blog at http://pjf.id.au/blog/ 2.01 Wed Jul 1 01:31:24 AUSEST 2009 * DOCUMENTATION: General copyediting and tidy-up (Thanks to Toby Corkindale) * BUGFIX: Warnings are no longer emitted when undefined values are compared by hinting routines. * BUGFIX: Hints for File::Copy now operate correctly under Perl 5.10.1. * BUGFIX: Inheritance is now considered sufficient to declare allegiance to the hints provider role under Perl 5.8.x. (Thanks to Glenn Fowler) * TEST: hints.t no longer throws failures under Perl 5.10.1. * TEST: pod-coverage.t (author test) no longer fails if Sub::Identify is not installed. (Thanks to Jonathan Yu. RT #47437) 2.00 Mon Jun 29 01:24:49 AUSEST 2009 * FEATURE: autodie can now accept hints regarding how user and module subroutines should be handled. See autodie::hints for more information. * INTERFACE: The calls to the internal subroutines one_invocation() and write_invocation() have changed. An additional argument (the user subroutine reference) is passed as the second-last argument. This may break code that previously tried to call these subroutines directly. * BUGFIX: Calls to subroutines to File::Copy should now correctly throw exceptions when called in a list context. * BUGFIX: An internal error where autodie could potentially fail to correctly report a dying function's name has been fixed. * BUGFIX: autodie will no longer clobber package scalars when a format has the same name as an autodying function. (Thanks to Ben Morrow) * INTERFACE: The internal interfaces for fill_protos(), one_invocation(), write_invocation() are now once again backward compatible with legacy versions of Fatal. It is still strongly recommended these interfaces are NOT called directly. The _make_fatal() subroutine is not backwards compatible. * TEST: Added internal-backcompat.t to test backwards compatibility of internal interfaces. * DOCUMENTATION: Expanded documentation regarding how autodie changes calls to system(), and how this must be explicitly enabled. * BUILD: Upgraded to Module::Install 0.91 * BUGFIX: A situation where certain compile-time diagnostics and errors from autodie would not be displayed has been fixed. 1.999 Sat Feb 28 18:36:55 AUSEDT 2009 * BUGFIX: Autodie now correctly propagates into string evals under 5.10+. Autodie completely fails to propagate into string evals under 5.8. No fix for 5.8 is known. * BUGFIX: The caller() method on autodie::exception objects should now always report the correct caller. While it would always get the line, file, and package correct, previously it would sometimes report less-than-helpful callers like '__ANON__' or '(eval)'. * BUGFIX: autodie was treating system() as a user-sub, not a built-in. This could tigger extra (unnecessary) work inside autodie, but otherwise had no user impact. * DOCUMENTATION: The synopsis for autodie::exception::system previously implied system() was made autodying by default. This was not the case. It must still be enabled with use autodie qw(system). * DOCUMENTATION: Noted the 5.8 string eval bug in autodie/BUGS. * TEST: Added test for correct caller output on autodie::exception objects. Thanks to Piers Harding for spotting this bug at KiwiFoo. * TEST: Added tests for user-defined autodying functions changing behaviour depending upon context. This was reported in http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=744246 . * TEST: Tests for autodie propagating into string eval. * TEST: Expanded tests to ensure autodie::exception returns the correct line number and caller. * TEST: Expanded tests to ensure autodie::exception returns correct information when calling subroutines in external files. 1.998 Sat Jan 3 11:19:53 AUSEDT 2009 * BUILD: Removed Module::AutoInstall, which previously was loaded but not used, but currently doesn't actually do what we want. * TEST: We manually stringify $@ for one test in exception_class.t to avoid a bug involving overloaded classes containing apostrophies. * TEST: unlink.t and mkdir.t avoid changing directories, which could cause spurious failures when @INC includes paths relative to the current working directory. * DOCUMENTATION: Spurious "used only once" messages are documented in Fatal's documentation (as well as autodie's). * TEST: truncate.t has been updated to avoid incorrect test failures on VMS machines. Many thanks to Craig A Berry for the bug report and fix. (RT #42110) 1.997 Thu Dec 4 15:14:00 AUSEDT 2008 * TEST: Test::More 0.86 (and possibly 0.85) appears to dislike package names that contain the apostrophe character (these occur in some tests for Klingon localisation). We now skip these tests on systems with Test::More >= 0.85 installed. 1.996 Thu Dec 4 09:07:39 AUSEDT 2008 * FEATURE: Child classes can now provide an exception_class() method that returns the desired exception class, rather than over-riding the whole throw() method. Existing classes that over-ride throw() will still work as before. * BUGFIX: Fixed a bug where multiple autodie-derived classes would share the same subroutine cache. This could result in excptions from the wrong class being thrown. This bug did not affect programs which used only autodie, or a single autodie-derived class. * BUGFIX: Missing 1.995 version tag added to export list. * TEST: Make sure that we always have a working version tag for our current version. 1.995 Sun Nov 30 17:30:16 AUSEDT 2008 * FEATURE: Errors from 2-argument open now have more human friendly error messages for reading, writing, and appending. * FEATURE: autodie will never print unsightly references to GLOB(0x...) structures in error messages; instead it uses the placeholder '$fh'. * BUILD: Bundled Module::AutoInstall makes it clear to users they need to install IPC::System::Simple for autodying system() support. * TEST: truncate.t provides more diagnostics on failure. * TEST: Tests for better formatted reports from connect(). * TEST: New 'open.t' contains specific tests for well-formatted messages from open(). 1.994 Thu Sep 25 16:18:56 AUSEST 2008 * BUGFIX: flock(), ioctl() and truncate() are now part of the :file tag. * BUGFIX: link(), mkdir(), rmdir(), symlink() and umask() are now part of the :filesys tag. * BUGFIX: The new :msg tag contains msgctl(), msgget(), msgrcv(), and msgsnd(). * BUGFIX: The new :semaphore tag contains semctl(), semget() and semop(). * BUGFIX: The new :shm tag contains shmget(), shmread() and shmctl(). * BUGFIX: The new :ipc tag contains :msg, :semaphore, :shm and pipe(). * BUGFIX: The read(), seek(), sysread(), syswrite() and sysseek() methods have been added to :io. * BUGFIX: autodie produces more detailed messages on internal faults, and is more aggressive about stopping code compilation. * FEATURE: flock will not die on failure when called with the LOCK_NB option and would return false due to an EWOULDBLOCK. See function specific notes in autodie documentation for more details. * FEATURE: Stringified exceptions from flock() are significantly nicer to read. * FEATURE: use autodie qw(:1.994) can be used to specify the :default tag from a particular version. * DOCUMENTATION: flock() is documented as being in the :file tag. * DOCUMENTATION: Added function-specific notes in autodie.pm * TEST: New tests for rmdir(), mkdir(), and unlink(), thanks to Jacinta Richardson. * TEST: Added author-only perlcritic tests. * META: META.yml has more correct author information. 1.993 Sun Sep 14 11:15:36 AUSEST 2008 * DOCUMENTATION: The :dbm tag is now correctly documented in autodie/CATEGORIES. Thanks to Darren Duncan for spotting this. (RT #39172) * DOCUMENTATION: The README file has been updated to reflect current minimum Perl versions (5.8.0) and current resources. * DOCUMENTATION: The closedir() function is properly documented as being included in the :filesys tag. * DOCUMENTATION: Feedback section added to the autodie documentation. If you find the module useful, consider saying so on cpanratings.perl.org, or dropping me a note. * BUILD: Upgrade to Module::Intstall 0.77 1.992 Sun Sep 7 15:51:32 AUSEST 2008 * BUGFIX: unlink(), rename(), chdir() and closedir() functions are now included in the :filesys tag. * BUGFIX: binmode() is now checked for failure as part of the :file tag. * BUGFIX: Using an unopened filehandle in an autodying built-in no longer triggers a spurious warning. * BUGFIX: RT #38845, corrected a missing space in the error produced by autodie when called with the ':void' switch. Many thanks to Matt Kraai for the patch! * FEATURE: The dbmopen() and dbmclose() functions are now supported in their own :dbm tag. This is part of :io (and hence :default). * FEATURE: The dbmopen() built-in has its own formatter, which ensures errors always display the mask in octal, not decimal. * DOCUMENTATION: The :filesys tag is properly documented. * DOCUMENTATION: Added link to Perl tip on autodie. * TEST: RT #38845, t/internal.t updated to detect malformed error messages involving the mixing of ':void' and autodie. 1.991 Fri Aug 22 23:57:24 AUSEST 2008 * BUGFIX: RT #38614, stringified autodie::exceptions objects now always end with a newline. Thanks to Offer Kaye for the report. * BUGFIX: Makefile.PL is no longer executable. * BUGFIX: 'chdir' added to defaults, and the :filesys group. * BUGFIX: RT #38598, the errno attribute on autodie::exception objects is now correctly set. * BUGFIX: RT #38066, exceptions from system() now report the correct line number. * TEST: Internal tests changes to ease integration with core. * TEST: Checks added for empty 'errno' string in basic_exceptions.t * TEST: Errors should end with a newline. * TEST: fork tests should no longer mysteriously fail on Solaris. * TEST: backcompat.t should no longer give strange failures on old versions of 5.8.3 or earlier. * TEST: system.t ensures the correct file is reported. * BUILD: Upgrade to Module::Install 0.75 1.99 Mon Jul 21 02:25:23 PDT 2008 * RELEASE CODENAME: "jarich", in thanks for her giving up pretty much a whole week of her life to do nothing but help me work on my talks for OSCON. * BUGFIX: autodie will now check open() for returning undef, not merely false, as open() can legimiately return zero for open(my $fh, '-|') || exec(...) style calls. * TEST: Added t/lethal.t, a test for basic subclassing. * TEST: Added t/usersub.t, a test for correct handling of user subroutines. * DOCUMENTATION: Noted in autodie.pm that user subs can only be made Fatal/autodying if they've been declared first. * FEATURE: Conflicts between 'no autodie' and 'use Fatal' re-enabled. * FEATURE: Added sysopen() and fcntl() to :file, and exec() and system to :system. exec() doesn't yet work due to its prototype; * FEATURE: Vanilla 'use autodie' now implies 'use autodie qw(:default)'. This excludes system(), which depends upon an optional module, and exec(), which breaks its exotic form. * TEST: Internal tests moved from Fatal.t to internal.t * FEATURE: Added support for fileno. * FEATURE: Addded support for exec (although this breaks the exotic form while autodie is in scope). * BUGFIX: 'no autodie' now plays nicely with user subs. * DOCUMENTATION: Added a brief mention of the category system that autodie provides. 1.11_01 Fri Jul 4 12:53:11 AEST 2008 * RELEASE CODENAME: "Aristotle", in thanks for the many long and detailed discussions about the autodie interface and how it should interact with Fatal. Aristotle was instrumental in ensuring autodie has the clean and simple interface that it does now. * FEATURE: 5.8 now has the ability to differentiate between calls that return false to indicate failure, and those that only return undef to indicate failure. CORE::send and CORE::recv are examples of these. * FEATURE: You can now 'use autodie qw(fork)' to make sure your forks are successful (they must return defined). * TEST: t/todo.t removed. We have passing tests (recv.t) for the reminder I had stuffed into here. * TEST: t/fork.t added, for testing autodying fork. * INTERNAL: The internal subroutine _remove_lexical_subs has been renamed to a much less misleading name of _install_subs, since that's what it actually does now. * BUGFIX: Found and fixed a nasty bug where autodie's internal subroutine cache was being too agressive. This could result in handles from the incorrect package being used. Scalar filehandles have never been affected by this bug. * BUGFIX: Autodying subroutines will no longer leak into other files if they are used/required/done in the same lexical scope. * BUILD: Fatal and autodie now install themselves with a INSTALLDIRS=perl target, meaning they will now correctly override (and possibly overwrite) your installed Fatal.pm on 'make install'. * DOCUMENTATION: Documented the 'used only once' bug when using Fatal/autodie with package filehandles. This has always existed in Fatal, and as far as I know it incurable (but harmless). * FEATURE: autodie and its exceptions can now be subclassed! * TEST: Added t/crickey.t as an example of using fair dinkum subclasses of autodie. Mate, I reckon it's time for a beer. * INTERNAL: Moved exception architecture from inside-out objects (which need lots of extra work under 5.8) to regular hashes (which don't need extra work). * INTERNAL: Inlined relevant portions of Scope::Guard, meaning autodie can be installed with no dependencies. (It still recommends IPC::System::Simple.) 1.10_07 Sun Jun 29 15:54:26 AEST 2008 * RELEASE CODENAME: "ikegami", in thanks for solving the problem of getting lexical replacement of subroutines working for real under Perl 5.8. As this works better than my 5.10 implemenation, it forms the foundation for this release. * Removed inappropriate diagnostics about :lexical from Fatal.pm * Moved can't mix lexical and void diagnostics to autodie.pm * Added some basic tests for sysopen() * Removed the 5.10 only way of tracking lexical hints with %^H. Our code now exclusively uses the more portable 5.8 code that employs Scope::Guard (and has less side-effects). * Exotic system is no longer clobbered under 5.10 outside of autodie's scope. * autodie::exception::match is better exercised in the 5.8 test suite. * Re-enabled 'use autodie' vanilla tests. * t/backcompat.t no longer fails under Devel::Cover * Repeating function names in arguments to autodie no longer causes those functions to become 'stuck' in autodying mode. * Wrong-version of Fatal.pm support added, along with basic hints on how to get it working. * Expanded documentation on autodie, particularly for exception handling under Perl 5.8. * Less warnings from t/exceptions.t when running under 5.10. * All releases now really depend upon Scope::Guard, not just 5.8. 1.10_06 Sun Jun 22 21:50:39 AEST 2008 * RELEASE CODENAME: "Chocolateboy", in thanks for his wonderful insights, and for letting me sound off way too many ideas about how things may be done. * Fixed speeling errors in context.t, thanks to Stennie. * Fixed minor pod errors and omissions. * Fixed bug in recv.t which resulted in an incorrect number of skipped tests on systems using socketpair emulation. * Fixed a bug that would cause unwanted interactions between autodie and autobox. Thanks to chocolateboy. (5.8) * Wrote a (failing) test case demonstrating that the autodie pragma could leak across files. Many thanks to chocolateboy for bringing this to my attention. * t/system.t checks to see if exotic system has been injured in the same package as 'use qutodie qw(system)' * Calling filename reliably reported in 5.8 error messages and error objects. * User subs can be made autodying under 5.8, but they leak over the entire package (which is very bad!) * Context-checking tests split into package-scope tests and lexical scope tests. * Lexical user-subs are disabled under Perl 5.8. They were leaking everywhere and not being lexical at all. Attempting to use a lexical user-sub under 5.8 now causes an error. * Bugs found in interaction between autodie and Fatal in 5.8. When used together, we can't reliably replace a Fatalised sub with an autodying one, and then switch it back again at the end of block. * Bugs described above fixed, thanks to ikegami! * Overhauled _remove_lexical_subs, based on ikegami's input. This routine would now be better named "_install_lexical_subs", since it can now both install and remove. * Surpressed some warnings under 5.8 about uninitialised hints hashes. * Added support for backwards compatible Fatal calls in 5.8. These are currently a little *too* backwards compatible, possessing the same bugs as the old Fatal (clobbering context). * Improved caching of pre-generated subroutines. We now cache the compiled subroutine, rather than the uncompiled code. * Added more tests to ensure Fatal throws backcompat strings, whereas autodie throws exception objects. * Support for lexical user-subs enabled, tested, and working in 5.8! * Added resources to Makefile.PL / META.yml 1.10_05 Sun Jun 15 15:46:38 AEST 2008 * Kludgy support for Perl 5.8 using Scope::Guard and dark and terrible magicks taken from namespace::clean. * Rudimentary caching of generated code, to avoid having to regenerate the same code every single time Fatal/autodie is used on the same function. * Nuking subroutines at end of lexical scope moved into own subroutine. * Perl 5.8 support working! Backcompat mode not yet supported, nor is autodie with user defined subs. The 5.8 support that is there is rather kludgy, and still needs a lot of work. * Perl 5.8 code no longer gets executed under 5.10 when executing write_invocation(). * lex58.t tells the user that we'll get warnings under Win32, and these are to be ignored. This is due to a Perl behaviour where it always calls the shell under Win32, even when multi-arg system is used. * lex58.t no longer fails to compile on Perl 5.10 which is still clobbering exotic open. Perl 5.8 does not clobber the exotic form. * Backcompat tests are all marked as TODO under perl 5.8 * Makefile.PL moved back to saying autodie works under 5.8 * Context/user-sub tests skipped under 5.8, which does not yet support autodying of user subs. * lex58 tests now skipped if IPC::System::Simple not installed. * Squished a spurious warning from lex58.t 1.10_04 Sat Jun 14 15:02:17 AEST 2008 * Made all $VERSION numbers more friendly to static code analysis tools (including CPAN). * Added a test to make sure all version numbers are incremented in lock-step. * Started 5.8 support * Removed dependencies on 5.10 'use feature'. * Removed dependencies on 5.10 fieldhashes. * a::e::match no longer uses smart-match or // * %^H init doesn't use // anymore. * 5.8 won't try to use // in fatalised subs (kludge) * recv.t corrected to use a custom socket (closed for writing) and to ignore SIGPIPEs. 1.10_03 Fri Jun 13 11:04:17 AEST 2008 * Updated backwards compatibility tests to work on non-Enligh systems. 1.10_02 Fri Jun 13 10:55:00 AEST 2008 * Tweaked boilerplate test to remove windows-only paths. 1.10_01 Thu Jun 12 17:19:13 AEST 2008 * First beta release of module. 1.09 UNRELEASED * Many changes not documented here. * Fatal is now fully backwaards compatible again. * system() can be fatalised/autodying if IPC::System::Simple is installed. * Rationlisation of autodie::exception API. * autodie::exception->function() now always returns the full function name as best we can find it, and not what may be getting replaced (eg, CORE::open instead of main::open). 1.08 Sat Mar 29 10:54:20 AEDT 2008 Dual-lifed module internally from work I was doing on p5p.
