Well its easy to find the message, its not so easy to trace it back up
:-). It is perl source code after all. It *looks* like its just:
sv.c:
Perl_sv_pvn_force_flags(SV *sv, STRLEN, I32 flags)
{
[ Flags is SV_GMAGIC ]
if (SvREADONLY(sv) && !(flags & SV_MUTABLE_RETURN))
// more or less...
Perl_croak(aTHX_ "Can't coerce readonly %s to string", ref)
if ((SvTYPE(sv) > SVt_PVLV && SvTYPE(sv) != SVt_PVFM)
|| isGV_with_GP(sv))
Perl_croak(aTHX_ "Can't coerce %s to string in %s",
sv_reftype(sv,0),
}
Given that I added this hunk:
+
+ if (SvREADONLY(sv) ||
+ isGV_with_GP(sv) ||
+ (SvTYPE(sv) > SVt_PVLV && SvTYPE(sv) != SVt_PVFM))
+ sv = newSVsv(sv);
+ else
+ /* increase the reference count so we cant just
SvREFCNT_dec() it when
+ * we are done */
+ SvREFCNT_inc(sv);
And viola all of these work (both in 5.14 and 5.8.9, although 5.8.9
gives different notices...)
do language plperl $$ elog(NOTICE, *foo); $$;
NOTICE: *main::foo
CONTEXT: PL/Perl anonymous code block
do language plperl $$ elog(NOTICE, $^V); $$;
NOTICE: v5.14.2
CONTEXT: PL/Perl anonymous code block
do language plperl $$ elog(NOTICE, ${^TAINT}); $$;
NOTICE: 0
CONTEXT: PL/Perl anonymous code block
So I've done that in the attached patch. ${^TAINT} seemed to be the
only case that gave consistent notices in 5.8.9 and up so I added it
to the regression tests.
Util.c/o not depending on plperl_helpers.h was also throwing me for a
loop so I fixed it and SPI.c...
Thoughts?
