-*- change-log -*-
Started on CPAN with B-C-1.04_12. The perl compiler was in CORE from alpha4
until Perl 5.9.4.
1.04_19 2008-06-08 rurban
* CC.pm: CXt_LOOP check rewrite, use now CxTYPE_no_LOOP()
* CC.pm, t/*.t: useithreads, not usethreads
* bytecode.t, test.pl: TODO handling: do not print "ok 1 #"
* b.t: fixed skip logic, better skip message
* Bblock: fixed to work without B::Concise (5.6.2)
* C.xs: add PM_GETRE for 5.6.2 and earlier
* CC.pm: Fix PP_EVAL hack from 1.04_18
* Bytecode: fixed IO::SUBPROCESS error (test 15)
* cc_harness: check static libperl.a, else try dynamic. Support -E
* ByteLoader: support different byteorders (Disassembler not yet)
* ByteLoader, Assembler, bytecode.pl: add archflags to header, relax
platform strictness.
* t/stash.t fixed for 5.10
* Disassembler: added hashref return for get_header in scalar context.
* Bytecode: fixed compiler crash/assertions for GV without GP (test 11)
1.04_18 2008-06-04 rurban
* Fixed t/assembler.t on 5.6.2
* Added ByteLoader::unimport (from 5.6.2)
* ByteLoader: Fixed bytecode crashes for 5.10+5.11 in 2-5, 7 by
removing PMf_COMPILETIME from op_pmflags. Reason: empty
check_substr in INTUIT. (6 still failing)
* ByteLoader: Fixes for 5.11 by using PM_SETRE (test 7 still failing)
* Bytecode: removed op_reflags. pregcomp with op_pmflags alone
is enough to reconstruct it.
* C,CC: enabled static_ext + DynaLoader boot section again. Fixed in cygperl.
* CC: fixed Bug#55302 PP_EVAL by adding PP_EVAL_thr for threaded perl.
cc_runtime.h was always wrong on this!
1.04_17 2008-04-20 rurban
Added Fedora Core 1 as test system (5.6.2, 5.8.3, 5.11.0@33708 + valgrind)
* ByteLoader: Fixed broken BYTEORDER check (for 32int)
* ByteLoader: Remove allowing older versions until we have
an opcode table for older versions.
* ByteLoader: Fixed SIGSEGV with older gcc (3.3.2) at
bstate->bs_obj_list[0] = NULL
* ByteLoader, C.xs: Newx() support and more for older perl's.
Tested with 5.8.3
* bytecode.pl: Fixed <11 op_reflags (double definition)
* bytecode.pl: Support 8-10 version syntax (op_pmstash, cop_io)
* Makefile.PL: added MKPATH blib/bin
* added ByteLoader/ppport.h
* fixed t/stash.t for 5.11
1.04_16 2008-04-14 rurban
* ByteLoader: Fix PL_tokenbuf for older perls without PL_parser
* B::C: walkoptree_slow for verbose statistics op_count.
* Consistent in -v verbose and not verbose.
* Workaround for invalid pad in save_context.
* Added -Dp for verbose package cache printing.
* -v verbose adds more generated comments: op struct fields
* Fixed cop_label for 5.11 (Change #33656)
* Fixed make subdirs-test error in 5.8.8
* Fixed RT#52920 "invalid cop_free of nullified cop" for B::C
1.04_15 2008-04-11 rurban
Highlights: bytecode and ByteLoader portability preparation and
commented disassembler output. PVGV and new REGEX still broken.
Fixes for no ithreads.
* 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 test TODO's, Added perloptreeguts.pod
1.04_14 2008-03-24 rurban
* Fixed some 1.04_13 +x executable permissions in docs. Windows habits.
1.04_13 2008-03-24 rurban

* 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 structsm 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.
1.04_12 2008-03-16 rurban (first upload)
* Fixed bug #40435 CC: Can't locate object method "_save_common_middle"
via package "B::FAKEOP"
* move tests from [bc]*.t into shared TESTS file.

seperated from the sv. The sv is seperated from the pv.
TODO: different strategy for B::C, must link xpv to sv
* add and parse Assembler comments
* add Bytecode comments to -S output unless -q

===================================================================
B::C was 1.03 when exterminated.
Oops, Module::Corelist says 1.05 for 5.9.4, Right so.

bytecode.pl: Exterminate!
ext/B/B/Asmdata.pm: Exterminate!
Nicholas Clark <nwc10+p5p4@colon.colondot.net> 2007-05-07 14:53:05
Given that @optype and @specialsv_name are hard coded tables, it seems
more logical for them to be in B.pm, rather than in the "boilerplate"
for the machine generated B/Asmdata.pm

[win32] various cleanups so that B can be built as "just another extension"
- export symbols needed for building B
- bset_obj_store() is needed by byterun(), so define it there instead
of at B.xs, and export it
- freadpv() is only used in B.xs, so move it there
- byte*.h are now included by perl.h
- regenerate embed*.h

More compiler tweaks.
Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 18:23:47
Remove compiler files from their old lib/B locations. The compiler
now builds by default (without the byteperl executable so far) and
seems to work at least minimally.
Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 18:05:33
Move lib/B/... and lib/[BO].pm over to where they should be,
under ext/B.
Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 17:54:58

[Still won't work as of this change.]
Malcolm Beattie <mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk> 1998-02-20 16:42:13
* Merge perlext/Compiler/... into mainline. Some files move to
ext/B/..., some to lib/B/..., O.pm and B.pm go in lib and some
move to the base perl directory (e.g. headers). Will need some
cleaning up before it builds properly, I would guess.

right up until the final tweak of B.xs to add threadsv_names

fields becoming 0 in the init section. Add missing
write_back in B::Stackobj::Padsv::load_double to fix
