I had to<br/>(literally) dust off my 34-year old copy of Stroustrup(*) and also do<br/>some Googling. Hopefully what I&#39;ve written is sane.<br/><br/>(*) This was bought back in the days when people used to to learn things<br/>by buying books, and when I thought that I ought to know something about<br/>this newfangled C++ thing. I never got round to reading all of it: I<br/>discovered Perl around the same time, which looked to be a lot more fun.<br/><br/><br/> Commit: ae9183e8f38f382bb0c84439b029aa728bf3e99b<br/> https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/ae9183e8f38f382bb0c84439b029aa728bf3e99b<br/> Author: David Mitchell &lt;davem@iabyn.com&gt;<br/> Date: 2025-10-02 (Thu, 02 Oct 2025)<br/><br/> Changed paths:<br/> M dist/ExtUtils-ParseXS/lib/perlxs.pod<br/><br/> Log Message:<br/> -----------<br/> perlxs.pod: update MY_CXT section<br/><br/>Revise the text in this section:<br/><br/> =head2 Safely Storing Static Data in XS<br/><br/><br/> Commit: f3f436aa510e0ee79efef0c73fee04eaa089af37<br/> https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/f3f436aa510e0ee79efef0c73fee04eaa089af37<br/> Author: David Mitchell &lt;davem@iabyn.com&gt;<br/> Date: 2025-10-02 (Thu, 02 Oct 2025)<br/><br/> Changed paths:<br/> M dist/ExtUtils-ParseXS/lib/perlxs.pod<br/><br/> Log Message:<br/> -----------<br/> perlxs.pod: update EXAMPLES section<br/><br/>Rewrite this section:<br/><br/> =head1 EXAMPLES<br/><br/>Basically, delete the one big example in this section and instead<br/>provide links to various other examples already present in this document<br/>instead.<br/><br/><br/> Commit: 9afbfdafc5e26a350cb4c430f5d881e35e598f43<br/> https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/9afbfdafc5e26a350cb4c430f5d881e35e598f43<br/> Author: David Mitchell &lt;davem@iabyn.com&gt;<br/> Date: 2025-10-02 (Thu, 02 Oct 2025)<br/><br/> Changed paths:<br/> M dist/ExtUtils-ParseXS/lib/perlxs.pod<br/><br/> Log Message:<br/> -----------<br/> perlxs.pod: update CAVEATS, AUTHOR, A DIAGNOSTICS<br/><br/>Tweak the final few sections of perlxs.pod.<br/><br/><br/>Compare: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/compare/fa8e6aa1bd16%5E...9afbfdafc5e2<br/><br/>To unsubscribe from these emails, change your notification settings at https://github.com/Perl/perl5/settings/notifications<br/> https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.changes/2025/10/msg65147.html Thu, 02 Oct 2025 11:16:45 +0000 Branch: refs/heads/blead<br/> Home: https://github.com/Perl/perl5<br/> Commit: d4c256180859253a10fdfb4374019b579f4fa43a<br/> https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/d4c256180859253a10fdfb4374019b579f4fa43a<br/> Author: Sevan Janiyan &lt;venture37@geeklan.co.uk&gt;<br/> Date: 2025-10-01 (Wed, 01 Oct 2025)<br/><br/> Changed paths:<br/> M hints/darwin.sh<br/><br/> Log Message:<br/> -----------<br/> hints/darwin.sh: Provide reference for poll issue<br/><br/>From OpenSSH 8.9 release notes:<br/>For character-special devices like /dev/null, Darwin&#39;s poll(2) returns POLLNVAL<br/>when polled with POLLIN.

Instead, the buffer has been 256 bytes long, which means,<br/>we can have 256 1-byte characters in an identifier; but only 128 2-byte<br/>ones, etc. Unicode can have 4-byte identifier characters, so our limit<br/>has really been just 64 for those.<br/><br/>The direction perl is supposed to be going, according to perldiag, is to<br/>eliminate any identifier length limit. I don&#39;t feel the urge to do that<br/>now, but simply increasing the buffer size to accommodate any 256<br/>Unicode identifier characters causes us to meet our claim.<br/><br/>The trickiest part of this by far was to get parser.t to pass, which<br/>contrary to perldiag, tests very specifically about identifiers just shy<br/>of 256.<br/><br/>One thing it does is to create a long string.
