Summary

Three fixes for DBIx::Class test failures:

  • //=, ||=, &&= short-circuit in bytecode interpreter: The bytecode compiler (used by eval STRING) was eagerly evaluating the RHS before checking the short-circuit condition. Side effects like $result_pos++ always executed, breaking DBIx::Class's eval-generated row collapser code where //= deduplicates joined rows during prefetch result collapsing. Added handleShortCircuitAssignment() that compiles LHS first, emits conditional jump (GOTO_IF_TRUE/GOTO_IF_FALSE) to skip RHS, and only evaluates and assigns via SET_SCALAR when needed.

  • Parser {} disambiguation inside %{...} dereference context: %{{ map { ... } @list }} was parsed as a block instead of a hash reference when inside a dereference context. Added insideDereference flag to Parser so isHashLiteral() defaults to hash when there are no block indicators. Fixes RowParser.pm __unique_numlist and Ordered.pm values %{{ ... }} patterns.

  • DBI last_insert_id() connection-level queries: Replaced statement-level getGeneratedKeys() with connection-level SQL (SELECT last_insert_rowid() for SQLite, etc.). The old approach broke when any prepare() call between INSERT and last_insert_id() overwrote the stored statement handle.

DBIx::Class tests fixed

  • t/83cache.t test 7: prefetch collapsing now returns 3 unique artists instead of 5 raw joined rows
  • t/90join_torture.t test 4: "Two artists returned" now returns 2 collapsed artists instead of 12
  • t/79aliasing.t: no longer crashes on %{{ map {...} @list }} parsing
  • t/87ordered.t: no longer crashes on values %{{ ... }} parsing
  • t/101populate_rs.t: last_insert_id + parser fix unblocks this test

Files changed

File Change
BytecodeCompiler.java Refactored handleCompoundAssignment() to defer RHS evaluation for //=, `
Parser.java Added insideDereference flag
StatementResolver.java isHashLiteral() checks insideDereference flag
Variable.java parseBracedVariable() sets insideDereference before parsing
DBI.java last_insert_id() uses connection-level SQL queries

Test plan

  • make passes (all unit tests)
  • //= short-circuits correctly in eval (isolated test)
  • ||= and &&= short-circuit correctly in eval
  • Non-eval //=/||=/&&= still works (JVM backend unaffected)
  • DBIx::Class t/83cache.t test 7 passes
  • DBIx::Class t/90join_torture.t test 4 passes

…Ix::Class fixes

The bytecode interpreter (used by eval STRING) was eagerly evaluating
the RHS of //=, ||=, &&= before checking the short-circuit condition.
This caused side effects like $counter++ to always execute, breaking
DBIx::Class eval-generated row collapser code where //= is used to
deduplicate joined rows (prefetch result collapsing).

The fix adds handleShortCircuitAssignment() which:
1. Compiles the LHS first
2. Emits a conditional jump (GOTO_IF_TRUE/FALSE) to skip RHS
3. Only compiles and evaluates the RHS if the condition is not met
4. Assigns via SET_SCALAR only when needed

Also includes:
- Parser {} disambiguation: added insideDereference flag so
  %{{ map {...} @list }} is correctly parsed as hash (not block)
  inside dereference context
- DBI last_insert_id(): use connection-level SQL queries instead of
  statement-level getGeneratedKeys() which broke when prepare() was
  called between INSERT and last_insert_id()

…::Class

Three fixes to improve DBIx::Class compatibility:

1. Fix *{stash_entry} = \ creating spurious constant subs
   - In Perl 5, *glob = \ only sets the SCALAR slot
   - PerlOnJava was incorrectly creating a CODE slot (constant sub) when
     the glob was obtained via stash hash lookup
   - This corrupted constants after namespace::clean removed and restored
     glob slots, causing UNRESOLVABLE_CONDITION in DBIx::Class to return
     dereferenced string instead of scalar ref
   - Fix: globDeref() now returns a plain RuntimeGlob when unwrapping a
     RuntimeStashEntry, so assignment dispatches to RuntimeGlob.set()
   - Fixes t/60core.t test 38 (-and array condition in find())

2. Add VIVIFY_LVALUE opcode for hash element lvalue vivification
   - ||=, &&=, //= on hash elements now vivify the entry before
     evaluating the RHS, matching Perl 5 behavior
   - Fixes 16 ORDER_BY tests in DBIx::Class SQLMaker limit dialects

3. Fix DBI prepare_cached error message rewriting

Replace YAML+GZIP Storable freeze/nfreeze with a binary serializer
matching Perl 5 Storable type byte ordering and value-before-key
hash entry format. This fixes DBIC _collapse_cond which uses
nfreeze output as hash keys for condition deduplication/sorting.

Key changes:
- Storable: Binary format with Storable-compatible type bytes
- Storable: Hash entries written VALUE-first then KEY
- Storable: thaw handles both new binary and legacy YAML formats
- DBI: Add HandleError callback support for error wrapping
- DBI: Fix prepare_cached error message format

When an undef scalar was hashDeref multiple times before any write
each call created a separate autovivification hash. The second
vivification would overwrite the first, orphaning its data.

Fix: cache the autovivification hash/array in the scalar value
field (type remains UNDEF) so subsequent deref calls reuse the same
container. Read-only access is unaffected.

Also fixes the same bug for arrays.

Resolves DBIx::Class t/relationship/custom_opaque.t (2 tests).

ref(\\$x) returned "SCALAR" instead of "REF" because REFERENCE type
was missing from the inner switch in ReferenceOperators.ref(). When a
REFERENCE pointed to another REFERENCE, it fell through to the default
case. Also fixed the parallel bug in builtin::reftype (Builtin.java).

… 10)

Implements per-call-site tracking of compile-time hints for caller():
- caller()[8] now returns accurate $^H value (was hardcoded to 0)
- caller()[10] now returns %^H hash reference (was hardcoded to undef)

Architecture follows the same pattern as caller()[9] warning bits:
- WarningBitsRegistry tracks callSiteHints/callSiteHintHash ThreadLocals
- EmitCompilerFlag emits setCallSiteHints/snapshotCurrentHintHash bytecode
- RuntimeCode.apply() pushes/pops hints across subroutine calls
- BEGIN block $^H propagation now updates all scope levels

This enables Sub::Quote's _context() mechanism which captures caller hints
to restore strict/warnings state in eval'd code (needed for DBIx::Class).

…ings)

When the bytecode interpreter creates sub-compilers for anonymous/named
subroutines, they now inherit strict, warning, and feature flags from the
parent compiler. Previously, sub-compilers started with default (0) flags,
so BEGIN { $^H = ... } changes did not propagate into sub bodies.

Also added getEffectiveSymbolTable() that falls back to this.symbolTable
when emitterContext is null (the case for sub-compilers), so
isStrictRefsEnabled() and similar methods work correctly in sub bodies.

Sub::Quote hints.t: tests 1-2 now pass (strict refs preserved in quoted subs).

- warn() now always returns 1 (was returning undef), matching Perl 5.
  This also applies when $SIG{__WARN__} is set.
  Fixes SQL-Abstract-Classic t/02where.t IS NULL generation.

- Overload fallback now reads SCALAR slot of () glob instead of
  calling the CODE slot which always returns undef.

- When no fallback is specified, autogeneration is now allowed.

- Binary operators die with no method found when overloading is
  active but fallback does not allow native operations.

- Compound assignment operators try autogeneration from base
  operators before dying.

Three fixes for Sub::Quote test improvements:

1. caller() frame skip for interpreter code: ExceptionFormatter now
   returns metadata indicating whether the first frame was from the
   interpreter (CallerStack, already the call site) vs JVM (sub own
   location, needs skip). callerWithSub() uses this to conditionally
   skip the first frame. Fixes caller(0) returning wrong file/line
   when called from anonymous subs inside eval STRING with #line.

2. List slice in interpreter: (list)[indices] was incorrectly compiled
   as [list]->[indices] (array ref dereference returning one scalar).
   Added LIST_SLICE opcode that calls RuntimeList.getSlice() for proper
   multi-element list slice semantics.

3. Sub naming in eval: SubroutineParser now uses fully qualified names
   via NameNormalizer so ByteCodeSourceMapper records the correct
   declaration-time package. Also fixed eval STRING ErrorMessageUtil
   to use evalCtx.compilerOptions.fileName instead of the outer file.

Sub::Quote: 54/56 (was 52/56). Tests 48,50,55,56 now pass.

The LIST_SLICE opcode returns a RuntimeList, but when used in scalar
context (e.g., from a $$ prototype like is()), the list was not being
converted to a scalar value. This caused (unpack(...))[0] to return
the list count (1) instead of the actual element value (e.g., 300).

Added LIST_TO_SCALAR opcode emission after LIST_SLICE when the
compilation context is SCALAR, matching how the JVM backend handles
this case in Dereference.java.

Fixes op/pack.t regression (-2 tests) that only manifested when the
main program was large enough to trigger interpreter fallback.

… objects

Previously, only dclone() (via deepClone()) called STORABLE_freeze/thaw
hooks on blessed objects. The binary serialization path used by
freeze()/nfreeze()/thaw() raw-serialized blessed objects without hooks,
causing objects with non-serializable internals (e.g., DBI handles with
JDBC connections) to produce corrupt frozen data.

Added SX_HOOK (type 19) to binary format for hook-serialized objects.
serializeBinary() now checks for STORABLE_freeze before SX_BLESS, and
deserializeBinary() handles SX_HOOK by calling STORABLE_thaw.

Impact: t/84serialize.t goes from 1 real failure to 0 (115/115 pass).
Also updated design doc with corrected DBIx::Class failure analysis —
59 of 63 active test programs now pass all real tests (94%).

- prepare() sets sth Active=false (was inheriting dbh Active=true)
- execute() sets Active=true only for SELECTs with result sets
- fetchrow_arrayref/hashref set Active=false when rows exhausted
- execute() closes previous JDBC ResultSet before re-executing
- Use mutable RuntimeScalar (not read-only scalarFalse) for Active

Results: t/60core.t goes from 50 failures (45 cached stmt + 5 GC)
to 17 failures (12 cached stmt + 5 GC). Remaining 12 need DESTROY.

In Perl, Inf/NaN handling takes priority over format validation.
sprintf("%lld", Inf) returns "Inf" with no warning, even though
%lld is an invalid format on 32-bit Perl. Previously, our quad
format rejection would return the raw format string "%lld" and
emit an "Invalid conversion" warning even for Inf/NaN values.

Now, when a format specifier is marked invalid but the argument
is Inf/NaN, we bypass the invalid handling and format the special
value directly. This fixes 33 test failures in op/infnan.t while
maintaining the correct behavior for non-Inf/NaN values in
op/sprintf2.t.

Test results:
- op/infnan.t: 1086/1088 (was 1053/1088, +33)
- op/sprintf2.t: 1652/1655 (unchanged)
