Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.23 10 September 2016
Responding to Bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=105091
Renamed t/nested.t to t/inline_nested.t (don't execute this on arm platforms
arm perl port appear to be at fault. See t/inline_nested.t
create new tests:
t/alternatives.t
t/recursive_nested.t
Allow arm platforms, but skip t/inline_nested.t with a warning
on arm platforms.
Desupport perl 5.5 (that was soooo long ago > 12 years)... This
allows me to turn on use warnings everywhere: Prompted by the Kwalitee
folks who noticed it was not used.
Set MIN_PERL_VERSION => 5.6.0 in Makefile.PL.
Referenced the new github repository in the generated META.* files.
-------------------
Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.21 20 Nov 2013
-------------------------------------------
Remove erroneous note at the end of the POD related to references to
this module in DBD:Oracle. In reality the reference was in DBI, and
it is still there.
Close pod error bug (which referred to the above paragraph)
submitted by the Debian Packaging team.
Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.20 4 Aug 2013
-------------------------------------------
Even if "Time::HiRes::ualarm()" exists, it may not necessarily
work. (There were way too many broken smoke tests which might have
been the result of this). One reason for this may also bave been
that the test was looking for too small an interval in the
sub-second timeout tests. On busy systems, this may also have been
causing tests to fail.
This version got rid of the attempt at tracking broken environments
in timeout.t (the hash structure mentioned in the previous change).
The sub-second timer tests now set a timeout at 0.1 seconds, and
check for a delta time that is less than 0.8 seconds. Proving that
they completed in under 1 second. This provides a 0.7 second range
of execution time to account for busy systems. Previous tests, only
allowed for something less than 0.1 second.
Makefile.PL now looks for "Time::HiRes::ualarm()", and tests it. If
it works, high resolution timeouts are enabled. Makefile.PL reports
what it finds, and t/timeout.t reports when high resolution tests
are disabled, but timeout.t should not fail because of this... it
will just run fewer tests.
Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.19 27 Jul 2013
-------------------------------------------
Change sig_alarm() to use HiRes::ualarm() instead of
HiRes::alarm(). Hoping to fix hires test failures on some platforms.
Build a hash structure in timeout.t to disable the HiRes tests on
certain platforms where these functions may to be consistently
broken, but disable them for at least another round, hoping that the
change to using HiRes::ualarm() solves the problem.
Also, restructure timeout.t to hardcode the number of tests
run. Apparently Test::More on perl 5.8.x insisteds on getting the
plan before ANY tests are run.
Build similar structure in mask.t to disable the test on certain
platforms were signal masking appears to be broken. Currently this
is set to
my $mask_broken_platforms = {
'archname' => { 'i686-cygwin-thread-multi-64int' => 1
}
,'perlver' => { 'v5.10.1' => 1
}
};
Update Makefile.PL to note the fact the HiRes timeouts may broken on
some platforms.
Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.18 24 Jul 2013
-------------------------------------------
Fix "bareword" error on some platforms at least, by explicitly
importing INT_MAX from POSIX module.
Fix Changes file which listed verson 0.16 twice when it should have
list version 0.17 for the more recent changes.
Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.17 22 Jul 2013
-------------------------------------------
Fix timeout.t to use POSIX::pause() instead of select(), which was
used to optimized the while ( 1 ) loop in the forever function. This
caused failures on some platforms. pause() is right solution --
thanks (again) to Carsten Gaebler and for the suggestion for
handling the Time::HiRes request. Update Makefile.PL to note the
fact the HiRes timeouts may broken on some platforms.
More double eval documentation cleanup that had not been previously
caught in the POD. (bug #79130).
When Time::HiRes is present, allow for long timeouts longer than the
POSIX::INT_MAX microseconds when Time::HiRes is present. Just call
call alarm() instead of ualarm() in the case where input argument
would result in a msecs value in an argument to ualarm which is
larger than POSIX::INT_MAX (and, of course, add a test for this in
timeout.t). (bug/enhancement request #75784)
Fix typos in dbd-oracle-timeout.POD (bug #87141). It appears that
the DBD:oracle module may now have internal handling for this
problem (DBD::oracle not longer references Sys::SigAction).
Changes in Sys::SigAction 0.16 21 Jul 2013
-------------------------------------------
Thanks to excellent patches from Carsten Gaebler (contact me if you
want to contact him), timeout_call() now supports passing an array
of arguments which it will pass to the code it executes.
Minor tweak to POD.
Problems found with existing digests:
Package memconf distfile memconf-2.16/memconf.gz

Problems found locating distfiles:
Package dc-tools: missing distfile dc-tools/abs0-dc-burn-netbsd-1.5-0-gae55ec9
Package ipw-firmware: missing distfile ipw2100-fw-1.2.tgz
Package iwi-firmware: missing distfile ipw2200-fw-2.3.tgz
Package nvnet: missing distfile nvnet-netbsd-src-20050620.tgz
Package syslog-ng: missing distfile syslog-ng-3.7.2.tar.gz
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Changes from previous:
0.15 1 Jul 2011
Clean up POD. Close bug #69057. Other minor tweaks to POD.
0.13 23 Jun 2011
No functional changes. Fix for test timeout.t.
Fix strict undefined symbol error in timeout.t, when Time::HiRes is not present.
Not sure if constant pragma will exist in all supported perl versions,
so, we just commented out the use strict in this test.
Print warning when Time::HiRes not found in Makefile.PL
0.12 20 Jun 2011
Conditionally add 'LICENSE' => 'perl' to WriteMakefile()
call if $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION >= 6.3002.
Added support for timeout_call() in fractional seconds
expressed as a floating point number. If Time::HiRes
is not loadable, then the timeout value is raised to the
next high integer value with the POSIX:ceil() funtion.
Added sig_alarm(), which timeout_call uses. This is drop
in replacement for alarm(). If Time::HiRes
is not loadable, then the seconds argument is raised to the
next high integer value with the POSIX:ceil() funtion.
(optionally) returns an object which causes the signal handler to be reset
to the previous value, when it goes out of scope.
Also implemented is timeout_call() which takes a timeout value and a code
reference, and executes the code reference wrapped with an alarm timeout.
Finally, two convenience routines are defined which allow one to get the
signal name from the number -- sig_name(), and get the signal number from
the name -- sig_number().
