version 0.009; 2023-04-10
* port to Perl 5.33.1, which defines a PERL_VERSION_GE() macro that
clashes with the one this module previously had
* skip thread tests on some old versions of Perl (around 5.10.0) where
a core bug makes thread creation violate an internal assertion and
causes crashes
* skip thread tests on pre-5.8.9 Perls where a core bug makes thread
creation corrupt memory
* skip thread tests on pre-5.8.3 Perls where a core bug makes thread
completion break the global PL_sv_placeholder
* put whitespace around C string literals being pasted, for C++11
compatibility
* avoid using C preprocessor directives inside a macro argument list
(which is not valid)
* in XS code in the test suite, when croaking, avoid using __FILE__
as part of a format string, in case it includes a metacharacter
* document the intended scope of this module's backporting effort
* fix a documentation wording glitch
* in XS declare as const some data that never changes
* refactor thread tests
* in XS, refactor Perl version comparisons
* in XS, rename some macros for better style
* in XS, better argument parenthesisation in some macros
* avoid some compiler warnings
* in .gitignore, list temporary files produced by test XS compilation
version 0.008; 2017-07-26
* update test suite to not rely on . in @INC, which is no longer
necessarily there from Perl 5.25.7
* no longer include a Makefile.PL in the distribution
* in documentation, use four-column indentation for all verbatim
material
* in META.{yml,json}, point to public bug tracker
* update op-munging code to the PERL_OP_PARENT-compatible style
(though none of it is actually used on Perls new enough to support
PERL_OP_PARENT)
* in tests, revise PERL_OP_PARENT reserve definitions to simpler form,
accommodating only Perl 5.21.11 or later
* consistently use THX_ prefix on internal function names
version 0.007; 2015-03-21
* update tests for PERL_OP_PARENT builds of Perl 5.21.2 or later
version 0.006; 2013-09-21
* bugfix: allow generated headers to work on API-compatible Perls
other than the specific version under which this module was installed
* fix test for thread safety, which risked false negatives
* avoid a C compiler warning in a test
version 0.005; 2012-02-11
* be thread-safe, by idempotence and mutex control on op check hooking
* load DynaLoader::Functions lazily, because it is only required at
build time of users of this module, not required at all in normal
runtime
* avoid potential circular dependency chain, by requiring a version
of DynaLoader::Functions that has reduced its dependencies
* fix some C preprocessor directive indentation
version 0.004; 2012-02-01
* in documentation, clarify that the header and linkable functions
should be called at build time
* add B::CallChecker to "see also" list
* update tests to accept Perl 5.15.7's modified panic error messages
* in Build.PL, declare incompatibility with pre-0.19
B::Hooks::OP::Check, which doesn't play nicely around op check hooking
* convert .cvsignore to .gitignore
version 0.003; 2011-05-29
* bugfix: set up CV name links correctly for error messages from
prototype checkers
* bugfix: don't leak temporary GVs and CVs in prototype checkers
version 0.002; 2011-05-19
* add callchecker_linkable constant to help users link with this module
* fully document the C functions
* avoid false test failures with parallel testing
* correct abstract line
* add Devel::CallParser to "see also" list
version 0.001; 2011-04-11
* bugfix: use PERL_CALLCONV to achieve consistent ABI across compilers
* port to Windows (GCC toolchain) and Cygwin, where additional linker
magic is required to make importation from shared object work (MSVC
and BCC on Windows presumably still don't generate the linkable
version of the shared library)
version 0.000; 2011-04-03
* initial released version
