[PROPOSED PATH] Clean Up Compiler Warnings (Linux PPC)

2004-03-14 Thread chromatic
Hi there, The attached patch (mostly for discussion, not applying) cleans up three compiler warnings on Linux PPC. These are all related to implicitly declared functions. My solution may not be the best approach, but it works for me. In particular, the posix_memalign() manpage states:

Hi all, here is ready-for-commit version of Data::Dumper. Not everything is documented yet, but the original interface is still functional. Most of the code is now loaded with load_bytecode, which reduces memory usage if several loaded modules are using the dumper. New/modified things: - the co

PIR did parse since quite a time instructions like: $I0 = defined $P0[0] $P1 = clone $P2 but these were handled with explicite rules. And I found me often writing: len = length $S0 which wasn't a valid syntax. I've now tossed the special handling of defined and clone. Instead PIR allows
