* Make mro code pass precomputed hash valuesFather Chrysostomos2013-11-041-0/+10
| | | | | | | | where possible This involved adding hv_fetchhek and hv_storehek macros and changing S_mro_clean_isarev to accept a hash parameter and expect HVhek_UTF8 instead of SVf_UTF8.
* hv.h: missing macro parenthesesFather Chrysostomos2013-11-041-1/+1
| | | | Let’s defuse this time bomb before it causes problems.
* When deleting via hek, pass the computed hash valueFather Chrysostomos2013-10-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | In those cases where the hash key comes from a hek, we already have a computed hash value, so pass that to hv_common. The easiest way to accomplish this is to add a new macro.
* [perl #79074] make sure HeSVKEY_force() preserves UTF8ness (pvn)Tony Cook2013-09-161-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | HeSVKEY_force() is only used in two places in core. In the first case, the key is always stored as a SV (when handling tie magic, since NEXTKEY can only return a SV) The second case is in B::HE, but I don't see a way to create a B::HE object from a hash.
* Move super cache into mro metaFather Chrysostomos2013-08-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | Iterated hashes shouldn’t have to allocate space for something specific to stashes, so move the SUPER method cache from the HvAUX struct (which all iterated hashes have) into the mro meta struct (which only stashes have).
* [perl #114864] Make UNIVERSAL::DESTROY changes invalidate cachesFather Chrysostomos2013-08-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Commit 8c34e50d inadvertently caused DESTROY caches not to be reset when UNIVERSAL::DESTROY changes. Normally, a change to a method will cause mro_method_changed_in to be called on all subclasses, but mro.c cheats for UNIVERSAL and just does ++PL_sub_generation. So clearing the DESTROY cache explicitly in mro_method_changed_in is clearly not enough.
* Cache HvFILL() for larger hashes, and update on insertion/deletion.Nicholas Clark2013-05-291-1/+2
| | | | | | This avoids HvFILL() being O(n) for large n on large hashes, but also avoids storing the value of HvFILL() in smaller hashes (ie a memory overhead on every single object built using a hash.)
* document and improve hash algorithm randomization related build optionsYves Orton2013-05-081-9/+13
| | | | | | Install was a copy of other material, made heavy reference to 5.8.x and and didnt really document what it should have. I reworked it to be more up to date.
* Make it possible to disable and control hash key traversal randomizationYves Orton2013-05-071-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds support for PERL_PERTURB_KEYS environment variable, which in turn allows one to control the level of randomization applied to keys() and friends. When PERL_PERTURB_KEYS is 0 we will not randomize key order at all. The chance that keys() changes due to an insert will be the same as in previous perls, basically only when the bucket size is changed. When PERL_PERTURB_KEYS is 1 we will randomize keys in a non repeatedable way. The chance that keys() changes due to an insert will be very high. This is the most secure and default mode. When PERL_PERTURB_KEYS is 2 we will randomize keys in a repeatedable way. Repititive runs of the same program should produce the same output every time. The chance that keys changes due to an insert will be very high. This patch also makes PERL_HASH_SEED imply a non-default PERL_PERTURB_KEYS setting. Setting PERL_HASH_SEED=0 (exactly one 0) implies PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=0 (hash key randomization disabled), settng PERL_HASH_SEED to any other value, implies PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=2 (deterministic/repeatable hash key randomization). Specifying PERL_PERTURB_KEYS explicitly to a different level overrides this behavior. Includes changes to allow one to compile out various aspects of the patch. One can compile such that PERL_PERTURB_KEYS is not respected, or can compile without hash key traversal randomization at all. Note that support for these modes is incomplete, and currently a few tests will fail. Also includes a new subroutine in Hash::Util::hash_traversal_mask() which can be used to ensure a given hash produces a predictable key order (assuming the same hash seed is in effect). This sub acts as a getter and a setter. NOTE - this patch lacks tests, but I lack tuits to get them done quickly, so I am pushing this with the hope that others can add them afterwards.
* eliminate the only internal uses of HvFILLYves Orton2013-03-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The usages are as far as I know incorrect anyway. We resize the hash bucket array based on the number of keys it holds, not based on the number of buckets that are used, so this usage was wrong anyway. Another bug that this revealed is that the old code would allow HvMAX(hv) to fall to 0, even though every other part of the core expects it to have a minimum of 7 (meaning 8 buckets). As part of this we change the hard coded 7 to a defined constant PERL_HASH_DEFAULT_HvMAX. After this patch there remains one use of HvFILL in core, that used for scalar(%hash) which I plan to remove in a later patch.
* improve how Devel::Peek::Dump handles iterator informationYves Orton2013-03-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | * If the hash is not OOK omit any iterator status information instead of showing -1/NULL * If the hash is OOK then add the RAND value from the iterator and if the LASTRAND is not the same show it too * Tweak tests to test the above.
* detect each() after insert and produce warnings when we doYves Orton2013-03-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inserting into a hash that is being traversed with each() has always produced undefined behavior. With hash traversal randomization this is more pronounced, and at the same time relatively easy to spot. At the cost of an extra U32 in the xpvhv_aux structure we can detect that the xhv_rand has changed and then produce a warning if it has. It was suggested on IRC that this should produce a fatal error, but I couldn't see a clean way to manage that with "strict", it was much easier to create a "severe" (internal) warning, which is enabled by default but suppressible with C<no warnings "internal";> if people /really/ wanted.
* Harden hashes against hash seed discovery by randomizing hash iterationYves Orton2013-03-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds: S_ptr_hash() - A new static function in hv.c which can be used to hash a pointer or integer. PL_hash_rand_bits - A new interpreter variable used as a cheap provider of "semi-random" state for use by the hash infrastructure. xpvhv_aux.xhv_rand - Used as a mask which is xored against the xpvhv_aux.riter during iteration to randomize the order the actual buckets are visited. PL_hash_rand_bits is initialized as interpreter start from the random hash seed, and then modified by "mixing in" the result of ptr_hash() on the bucket array pointer in the hv (HvARRAY(hv)) every time hv_auxinit() allocates a new iterator structure. The net result is that every hash has its own iteration order, which should make it much more difficult to determine what the current hash seed is. This required some test to be restructured, as they tested for something that was not necessarily true, we never guaranteed that two hashes with the same keys would produce the same key order, we merely promised that using keys(), values(), or each() on the same hash, without any insertions in between, would produce the same order of visiting the key/values.
* Split out hash functions into new file and turn into inline static functionsYves Orton2013-03-191-572/+2

* Make it possible to simulate old style one-at-a-time hashingYves Orton2012-12-031-8/+25
| | | | | | | | | With a 0 seed and ONE_AT_A_TIME_OLD hashing enabled one can simulate older perls (with the exception there is no rehashing at play). This includes a modest tweak to reduce ops per character by comparing the string pointer to the end of the string, instead of maintaining a position counter.
* Remove "register" declarationsKarl Williamson2012-11-241-28/+28
| | | | | | | This finishes the removal of register declarations started by eb578fdb5569b91c28466a4d1939e381ff6ceaf4. It neglected the ones in function parameter declarations, and didn't include things in dist, ext, and lib, which this does include
* Add "buzzhash16" - a random hash functionYves Orton2012-11-241-2/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | This is just a toy. Probably not worth using in production. But interesting enough I thought I would include it. The idea is to use the hash seed as a table of random 16 bit integers whose values are what we hash depending on the character we read. It is pretty fast, I have no idea how secure it is. It will probably work really badly if the seed is crap. YMMV.

* Hash Function Change - Murmur hash and true per process hash seedYves Orton2012-11-171-37/+499
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch does the following: *) Introduces multiple new hash functions to choose from at build time. This includes Murmur-32, SDBM, DJB2, SipHash, SuperFast, and One-at-a-time. Currently this is handled by muning hv.h. Configure support hopefully to follow. *) Changes the default hash to Murmur hash which is faster than the old default One-at-a-time. *) Rips out the old HvREHASH mechanism and replaces it with a per-process random hash seed. *) Changes the old PL_hash_seed from an interpreter value to a global variable. This means it does not have to be copied during interpreter setup or cloning. *) Changes the format of the PERL_HASH_SEED variable to a hex string so that hash seeds longer than fit in an integer are possible. *) Changes the return of Hash::Util::hash_seed() from a number to a string. This is to accomodate hash functions which have more bits than can be fit in an integer. *) Adds new functions to Hash::Util to improve introspection of hashes -) hash_value() - returns an integer hash value for a given string. -) bucket_info() - returns basic hash bucket utilization info -) bucket_stats() - returns more hash bucket utilization info -) bucket_array() - which keys are in which buckets in a hash More details on the new hash functions can be found below: Murmur Hash: (v3) from google, see http://code.google.com/p/smhasher/wiki/MurmurHash3 Superfast Hash: From Paul Hsieh. http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/hash.html DJB2: a hash function from Daniel Bernstein http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~oz/hash.html SDBM: a hash function sdbm. http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~oz/hash.html SipHash: by Jean-Philippe Aumasson and Daniel J. Bernstein. https://www.131002.net/siphash/ They have all be converted into Perl's ugly macro format. I have not done any rigorous testing to make sure this conversion is correct. They seem to function as expected however. All of them use the random hash seed. You can force the use of a given function by defining one of PERL_HASH_FUNC_MURMUR PERL_HASH_FUNC_SUPERFAST PERL_HASH_FUNC_DJB2 PERL_HASH_FUNC_SDBM PERL_HASH_FUNC_ONE_AT_A_TIME Setting the environment variable PERL_HASH_SEED_DEBUG to 1 will make perl output the current seed (changed to hex) and the hash function it has been built with. Setting the environment variable PERL_HASH_SEED to a hex value will cause that value to be used at the seed. Any missing bits of the seed will be set to 0. The bits are filled in from left to right, not the traditional right to left so setting it to FE results in a seed value of "FE000000" not "000000FE". Note that we do the hash seed initialization in perl_construct(). Doing it via perl_alloc() (via init_tls) causes problems under threaded builds as the buffers used for reentrant srand48 functions are not allocated.

* [perl #114924] Make method calls work with ::SUPER packagesFather Chrysostomos2012-09-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Perl caches SUPER methods inside packages named Foo::SUPER. But this interferes with actual method calls on those packages (SUPER->foo, foo::SUPER->foo). The first time a package is looked up, it is vivified under the name with which it is looked up. So *SUPER:: will cause that package to be called SUPER, and *main::SUPER:: will cause it to be named main::SUPER. main->SUPER::isa used to be very sensitive to the name of the main::FOO package (where the cache is kept). If it happened to be called SUPER, that call would fail. Fixing that bug (commit 3c104e59d83f) caused the CPAN module named SUPER to fail, because SUPER->foo was now being treated as a SUPER::method call. gv_fetchmeth_pvn was using the ::SUPER suffix to determine where to look for the method. The package passed to it (the ::SUPER package) was being used to look for cached methods, but the package with ::SUPER stripped off was being used for the rest of lookup. 3c104e59d83f made main->SUPER::foo work by treating SUPER as main::SUPER in that case. Mentioning *main::SUPER:: or doing a main->SUPER::foo call before loading SUPER.pm also caused it to fail, even before 3c104e59d83f. Instead of using publicly-visible packages for internal caches, we should be keeping them internal, to avoid such side effects. This commit adds a new member to the HvAUX struct, where a hash of GVs is stored, to cache super methods. I cannot simpy use a hash of CVs, because I need GvCVGEN. Using a hash of GVs allows the existing method cache code to be used. This new hash of GVs is not actually a stash, as it has no HvAUX struct (i.e., no name, no mro_meta). It doesn’t even need an @ISA entry as before (which was only used to make isa caches reset), as it shares its owner stash’s mro_meta generation numbers. In fact, the GVs inside it have their GvSTASH pointers pointing to the owner stash. In terms of memory use, it is probably the same as before. Every stash and every iterated or weakly-referenced hash is now one pointer larger than before, but every SUPER cache is smaller (no HvAUX, no *ISA + @ISA + $ISA[0] + magic). The code is a lot simpler now and uses fewer stash lookups, so it should be faster. This will break any XS code that expects the gv_fetchmeth_pvn to treat the ::SUPER suffix as magical. This behaviour was only barely docu- mented (the suffix was mentioned, but what it did was not), and is unused on CPAN.

* Omnibus removal of register declarationsKarl Williamson2012-08-181-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes most register declarations in C code (and accompanying documentation) in the Perl core. Retained are those in the ext directory, Configure, and those that are associated with assembly language. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/314994/whats-a-good-example-of-register-variable-usage-in-c which says, in part: There is no good example of register usage when using modern compilers (read: last 10+ years) because it almost never does any good and can do some bad. When you use register, you are telling the compiler "I know how to optimize my code better than you do" which is almost never the case. One of three things can happen when you use register: The compiler ignores it, this is most likely. In this case the only harm is that you cannot take the address of the variable in the code. The compiler honors your request and as a result the code runs slower. The compiler honors your request and the code runs faster, this is the least likely scenario. Even if one compiler produces better code when you use register, there is no reason to believe another will do the same. If you have some critical code that the compiler is not optimizing well enough your best bet is probably to use assembler for that part anyway but of course do the appropriate profiling to verify the generated code is really a problem first.
* update the editor hints for spaces, not tabsRicardo Signes2012-05-291-2/+2

* speed up feature-checking slightlyFather Chrysostomos2011-12-221-0/+3

* hv.h: Don’t call a char * parameter ‘sv’!Father Chrysostomos2011-11-291-2/+2
| | | | | | This goes all the way back to bbce6d6978 (inseparable changes from patch from perl5.003_08 to perl5.003_09). It is mightily confusing for anyone trying to figure out how these things work.

* Make HvENAME** macros smaller and more efficientH.Merijn Brand2011-10-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Brian's comments: if xhv_name_count == 1, HvENAME_HEK_NN returns null. So there's no need to use that macro twice. Just check for -1 The real need to make these smaller is the fact that some precompilers (e.g. HP-UX 10.20) cannot cope with the size these have grown to. The precompiler has since got an option (-Hnnn) to increase the macrospace but that option never made it to these old compilers. Signed-off-by: H.Merijn Brand <h.m.brand@xs4all.nl>

* unify PERL_HASH and PERL_HASH_INTERNALDavid Mitchell2011-05-191-18/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Those two macros expand into two large, almost identical chunks of code. The only difference between the two is the source of the hash seed. So parameterize this into a new PERL_HASH_INTERNAL_() macro. Also, there are a couple of places in hv.c that do the rough equivalent of if (HvREHASH(hv)) key = PERL_HASH_INTERNAL(...) else key = PERL_HASH(...) which incorporates two complete macro expansions into the code. Reorganise them to be key = PERL_HASH_INTERNAL_(..., HvREHASH(hv))

* Make hv_undef leave HvENAME aloneFather Chrysostomos2010-11-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | unless called from sv_clear. This is necessary as and undeffed stash, though it nominally becomes just a plain hash and is not a stash any more, is still to be found in the symbol table. It may even be in multiple places. HvENAME’s raison d’être is to keep track of this. If the effective name is deleted, then things can get out of sync as the test in the commit demonstrates. This can cause problems if the hash is turned back into a stash. This does not change the deletion of the HvNAME, which is the only difference between hv_clear and hv_undef on stashes that is visible from Perl. caller still returns (unknown) or __ANON__::.... I tried to make this into several small commits, but each part of it breaks things without the other parts, so this is one big commit. These are the various parts: • hv_undef no longer calls mro_package_named directly, as it deletes the effective name of the stash. It must only be called on sub- stashes, so hfreeentries has been modified to do that. • hv_name_set, which has erased the HvENAME when passed a null arg for the value ever since effective names were added (a special case put it just for hv_undef), now leaves the HvENAME alone, unless the new HV_NAME_SETALL flag (set to 2 to allow for UTF8 in future) is passed. • hv_undef does not delete the name before the call to hfreeentries during global destruction. That extra name deletion was added when hfreeentries stopped hiding the name, as CVs won’t be anonymised properly if they see it. It does not matter where the CVs point if they are to be freed shortly. This is just a speed optimisation, as it allows the name and effective name to be deleted in one fell swoop. Deleting just the name (not the effective name) can require a memory allocation. • hv_undef calls mro_isa_changed_in as it used to (before it started using mro_package_moved), but now it happens after the entries are freed. Calling it first, as 5.13.6 and earlier versions did, was simply wrong. • Both names are deleted from PL_stashcache. I inadvertently switched it back and forth between the two names in previous commits. Since it needed to be accounted for, it made no omit it, as that would just complicate things. (I think PL_stashcache is buggy, though I have yet to come up with a test case.) • sv_clear now calls Perl_hv_undef_flags with the HV_NAME_SETALL flag, which is passed through to the second hv_name_set call, after hfreeentries. That determines whether the effective names are deleted. • The changes at the end of hv_undef consist of pussyfooting to avoid unnecessary work. They make sure that everything is freed that needs to be and nothing is freed that must not be.

* Fix memory leaks in mro_package_movedFather Chrysostomos2010-11-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a new HV_FETCH_EMPTY_HE flag for hv_common. It is to be used in conjunction with HV_FETCH_LVALUE. It just stops the newly- created HE from having a new undef scalar assigned to it. This allows code to call hv_common just once instead of an hv_exists/ hv_store pair. It was such a double hv_common call that I was trying to avoid with HV_FETCH_LVALUE, without realising that it was leaking.

* Renaming of stashes should not be visible from PerlFather Chrysostomos2010-10-271-5/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change 35759254 made stashes get renamed when moved around. This had an unintended consequence: Typeglobs, ref() return values, stringifi- cation of blessed references and __PACKAGE__ are all affected by this. This commit makes a new distinction between stashes’ names and effect- ive names. Stash names are now unaffected when the stashes move around. Only the effective names are affected. (The apparent presence of any puns in the previous sentence is purely incidental and most likely the result of the reader’s inferential propensity.) To this end a new HvENAME_get macro is introduced, returning the first effective name (what HvNAME_get was returning). (Only one effective name needs to be in effect at a time.) hv_add_name and hv_delete_name have been renamed hv_add_ename and hv_delete_ename. hv_name_set is modified to leave the effective names in place unless the name is being set to NULL. These names are now stored in HvAUX as follows: When xhv_name_count is 0, xhv_name is a HEK pointer, containing the name which is also the effective name. When xhv_name_count is not zero, then xhv_name is a pointer to an array of HEK pointers. If xhv_name_count is positive, the first HEK is the name *and* one of the effective names. When xhv_name_count is negative, the first HEK is the name and subsequent HEKs are the effective names.
* Allow stashes to have multiple namesFather Chrysostomos2010-10-211-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commits modifies the HvAUX structure as follows: A new field is added, named xhv_name_count, indicating the number of names. If it is zero (the default and most common case), then xhv_name is a HEK * as usual. If it is non-zero, then xhv_name actually holds a pointer to an array of HEK*s, the first being the default or ‘canonical’ name. This code is a little repetitious, but more refactorings are to come, so it is too soon to turn these repetitions into macros. This is yet another commit in preparation for fixing [perl #75176]. Basically, whenever a stash is deleted from its containing stash, if it has an alias elsewhere, it needs to assume the new name (of that alias; so it needs to know its other names already) and update isarev entries. Forthcoming commits will do that.
* full API for cop hint hashesZefram2010-10-211-10/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Expose cop hint hashes as a type COPHH, with a cophh_* API which is a macro layer over the refcounted_he_* API. The documentation for cophh_* describes purely API-visible behaviour, whereas the refcounted_he_* documentation describes the functions mainly in terms of the implementation. Revise the cop_hints_* API, using the flags parameter consistently and reimplementing in terms of cophh_*. Use the cophh_* and cop_hints_* functions consistently where appropriate. [Modified by the committer to update two calls to Perl_refcounted_he_fetch recently added to newPMOP.]

| | | | | | | Add hinthash_fetch(sv|pv[ns]) as a replacement for refcounted_he_fetch, which is not API (and should not be). Also add caller_cx, as the correct XS equivalent to caller(). Lots of modules seem to have copies of this, so a proper API function will be more maintainable in future.
