From: Tim Bunce on 14 Jan 2010 11:07 This is the second of the patches to be split out from the former 'plperl feature patch 1'. Changes in this patch: - Allow (ineffective) use of 'require' in plperl If the required module is not already loaded then it dies. So "use strict;" now works in plperl. - Pre-load the feature module if perl >= 5.10. So "use feature :5.10;" now works in plperl. - Stored procedure subs are now given names. The names are not visible in ordinary use, but they make tools like Devel::NYTProf and Devel::Cover _much_ more useful. - Simplified and generalized the subroutine creation code. Now one code path for generating sub source code, not four. Can generate multiple 'use' statements with specific imports (which handles plperl.use_strict currently and can easily be extended to handle a plperl.use_feature=':5.12' in future). - Disallows use of Safe version 2.20 which is broken for PL/Perl. http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=72068 - Assorted minor optimizations by pre-growing data structures. This patch will apply cleanly over the 'add functions' patch: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=264 Tim. |
