This is my monthly report on work done during Jan and Feb 2025, covered by
my TPF perl core maintenance grant.
I spent some time continuing to do various bits of code refactoring and
test-adding on Extutils::ParseXS, as a precursor to adding
reference-counted stack (PERL_RC_STACK) abilities to XS.
I also fixed a bug in regexes which have embedded code blocks (i.e.
/(?{...})/) where, if the code-block code recurses and calls (again)
the code which triggered the original pattern match, crashes could ensue.
Summary:
* 1:08 #22710: defined( \@foo = $obj->method) corrupts $obj
* 16:04 #22869 Perl crash with recursive sub and regex with code eval
* 10:37 process p5p mailbox
* 18:43 refactor Extutils::ParseXS
Total:
* 46:32 (HH::MM)
