openSUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for perl-Perl-Tidy ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2023:0147-1 Rating: moderate References: Affected Products: openSUSE Backports SLE-15-SP4 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has 0 recommended fixes can now be installed. Description: This update for perl-Perl-Tidy fixes the following issues: perl-Perl-Tidy was updated to 20230309: see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md - 2023 03 09 - No significant bugs have been found since the last release to CPAN. Several minor issues have been fixed, and some new parameters have been added, as follows: - Added parameter --one-line-block-exclusion-list=s, or -olbxl=s, where s is a list of block types which should not automatically be turned into one-line blocks. This implements the issue raised in PR #111. The list s may include any of the words 'sort map grep eval', or it may be '*' to indicate all of these. So for example to prevent multi-line 'eval' blocks from becoming one-line blocks, the command would be -olbxl='eval'. - For the -b (--backup-and-modify-in-place) option, the file timestamps are changing (git #113, rt#145999). First, if there are no formatting changes to an input file, it will keep its original modification time. Second, any backup file will keep its original modification time. This was previously true for --backup-method=move but not for the default --backup-method=copy. The purpose of these changes is to avoid triggering Makefile operations when there are no actual file changes. If this causes a problem please open an issue for discussion on github. - A change was made to the way line breaks are made at the '.' operator when the user sets -wba='.' to requests breaks after a '.' ( this setting is not recommended because it can be hard to read ). The goal of the change is to make switching from breaks before '.'s to breaks after '.'s just move the dots from the end of lines to the beginning of lines. For example: # default and recommended (--want-break-before='.'): $output_rules .= ( 'class' . $dir . '.stamp: $(' . $dir . '_JAVA)' . "\n" . "\t" . '$(CLASSPATH_ENV) $(JAVAC) -d $(JAVAROOT) ' . '$(JAVACFLAGS) $?' . "\n" . "\t" . 'echo timestamp > class' . $dir . '.stamp' . "\n" ); # perltidy --want-break-after='.' $output_rules .= ( 'class' . $dir . '.stamp: $(' . $dir . '_JAVA)' . "\n" . "\t" . '$(CLASSPATH_ENV) $(JAVAC) -d $(JAVAROOT) ' . '$(JAVACFLAGS) $?' . "\n" . "\t" . 'echo timestamp > class' . $dir . '.stamp' . "\n" ); For existing code formatted with -wba='.', this may cause some changes in the formatting of code with long concatenation chains. - Added option --use-feature=class, or -uf=class, for issue rt #145706. This adds keywords 'class', 'method', 'field', and 'ADJUST' in support of this feature which is being tested for future inclusion in Perl. An effort has been made to avoid conflicts with past uses of these words, especially 'method' and 'class'. The default setting is --use-feature=class. If this causes a conflict, this option can be turned off by entering -uf=' '. In other words, perltidy should work for both old and new uses of these keywords with the default settings, but this flag is available if a conflict arises. - Added option -bfvt=n, or --brace-follower-vertical-tightness=n, for part of issue git #110. For n=2, this option looks for lines which would otherwise be, by default, } or .. and joins them into a single line } or .. where the or can be one of a number of logical operators or if unless. The default is not to do this and can be indicated with n=1. - Added option -cpb, or --cuddled-paren-brace, for issue git #110. This option will cause perltidy to join two lines which otherwise would be, by default, ) { into a single line ) { - Some minor changes to existing formatted output may occur as a result of fixing minor formatting issues with edge cases. This is especially true for code which uses the -lp or -xlp styles. - Added option -dbs, or --dump-block-summary, to dump summary information about code blocks in a file to standard output. The basic command is: perltidy -dbs somefile.pl >blocks.csv Instead of formatting ``somefile.pl``, this dumps the following comma-separated items describing its blocks to the standard output: filename - the name of the file line - the line number of the opening brace of this block line_count - the number of lines between opening and closing braces code_lines - the number of lines excluding blanks, comments, and pod type - the block type (sub, for, foreach, ...) name - the block name if applicable (sub name, label, asub name) depth - the nesting depth of the opening block brace max_change - the change in depth to the most deeply nested code block block_count - the total number of code blocks nested in this block mccabe_count - the McCabe complexity measure of this code block This can be useful for code restructuring. The man page for perltidy has more information and describes controls for selecting block types. - This version was stress-tested for over 100 cpu hours with random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks, undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen. - This version runs a few percent faster than the previous release on large files due to optimizations made with the help of Devel::NYTProf. - 2022 11 12 - Fix rt #145095, undef warning in Perl before 5.12. Version 20221112 is identical to 2022111 except for this fix for older versions of Perl. - No significant bugs have been found since the last release to CPAN. Several minor issues have been fixed, and some new parameters have been added, as follows: - Fixed rare problem with irregular indentation involving --cuddled-else, usually also with the combination -xci and -lp. Reported in rt #144979. - Add option --weld-fat-comma (-wfc) for issue git #108. When -wfc is set, along with -wn, perltidy is allowed to weld an opening paren to an inner opening container when they are separated by a hash key and fat comma (=>). For example: # perltidy -wn elf->call_method( method_name_foo => { some_arg1 => $foo, some_other_arg3 => $bar->{'baz'}, } ); # perltidy -wn -wfc elf->call_method( method_name_foo => { some_arg1 => $foo, some_other_arg3 => $bar->{'baz'}, } ); This flag is off by default. - Fix issue git #106. This fixes some edge cases of formatting with the combination -xlp -pt=2, mainly for two-line lists with short function names. One indentation space is removed to improve alignment: # OLD: perltidy -xlp -pt=2 is($module->VERSION, $expected, "$main_module->VERSION matches $module->VERSION ($expected)"); # NEW: perltidy -xlp -pt=2 is($module->VERSION, $expected, "$main_module->VERSION matches $module->VERSION ($expected)"); - Fix for issue git #105, incorrect formatting with 5.36 experimental for_list feature. - Fix for issue git #103. For parameter -b, or --backup-and-modify-in-place, the default backup method has been changed to preserve the inode value of the file being formatted. If this causes a problem, the previous method is available and can be used by setting -backup-mode='move', or -bm='move'. The new default corresponds to -bm='copy'. The difference between the two methods is as follows. For the older method, -bm='move', the input file was moved to the backup, and a new file was created for the formatted output. This caused the inode to change. For the new default method, -bm='copy', the input is copied to the backup and then the input file is reopened and rewritten. This preserves the file inode. Tests have not produced any problems with this change, but before using the --backup-and-modify-in-place parameter please verify that it works correctly in your environment and operating system. The initial update for this had an error which was caught and fixed in git #109. - Fix undefined value message when perltidy -D is used (git #104) - Fixed an inconsistency in html colors near pointers when -html is used. Previously, a '->' at the end of a line got the 'punctuation color', black by default but a '->' before an identifier got the color of the following identifier. Now all pointers get the same color, which is black by default. Also, previously a word following a '->' was given the color of a bareword, black by default, but now it is given the color of an identifier. - Fixed incorrect indentation of any function named 'err'. This was due to some old code from when "use feature 'err'" was valid. # OLD: my ($curr) = current(); err (@_); # NEW: my ($curr) = current(); err(@_); - Added parameter --delete-repeated-commas (-drc) to delete repeated commas. This is off by default. For example, given: ignoreSpec( $file, "file",, \%spec, \%Rspec ); # perltidy -drc: ignoreSpec( $file, "file", \%spec, \%Rspec ); - Add continuation indentation to long C-style 'for' terms; i.e. # OLD for ( $j = $i - $shell ; $j >= 0 && ++$ncomp && $array->[$j] gt $array->[ $j + $shell ] ; $j -= $shell ) # NEW for ( $j = $i - $shell ; $j trailing commas of lists. They are described in the manual. --want-trailing-commas=s, -wtc=s --add-trailing-commas, -atc --delete-trailing-commas, -dtc --delete-weld-interfering-commas, -dwic - Files with errors due to missing, extra or misplaced parens, braces, or square brackets are now written back out verbatim, without any attempt at formatting. - This version runs 10 to 15 percent faster than the previous release on large files due to optimizations made with the help of Devel::NYTProf. - This version was stress-tested for over 200 cpu hours with random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks, undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen. - 2022 06 13 - No significant bugs have been found since the last release but users of programs which call the Perl::Tidy module should note the first item below, which changes a default setting. The main change to existing formatting is the second item below, which adds vertical alignment to 'use' statements. - The flag --encode-output-strings, or -eos, is now set 'on' by default. This has no effect on the use of the 'perltidy' binary script, but could change the behavior of some programs which use the Perl::Tidy module on files encoded in UTF-8. If any problems are noticed, an emergency fix can be made by reverting to the old default by setting -neos. For an explanation of why this change needs to be made see: https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/issues/92 https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/docs/eos_flag.md - Added vertical alignment for qw quotes and empty parens in 'use' statements (see issue #git 93). This new alignment is 'on' by default and will change formatting as shown below. If this is not wanted it can be turned off with the parameter -vxl='q' (--valign-exclude-list='q'). # old default, or -vxl='q' use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions); use Fcntl qw(O_RDONLY O_WRONLY O_EXCL O_CREAT); use Symbol qw(gensym); use Exporter (); # new default use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions); use Fcntl qw(O_RDONLY O_WRONLY O_EXCL O_CREAT); use Symbol qw(gensym); use Exporter (); - The parameter -kbb (--keep-break-before) now ignores a request to break before an opening token, such as '('. Likewise, -kba (--keep-break-after) now ignores a request to break after a closing token, such as ')'. This change was made to avoid a rare instability discovered in random testing. - Previously, if a -dsc command was used to delete all side comments, then any special side comments for controlling non-indenting braces got deleted too. Now, these control side comments are retained when -dsc is set unless a -nnib (--nonon-indenting-braces) flag is also set to deactivate them. - This version runs about 10 percent faster on large files than the previous release due to optimizations made with the help of Devel::NYTProf. Much of the gain came from faster processing of blank tokens and comments. - This version of perltidy was stress-tested for many cpu hours with random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks, undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen. - 2022 02 17 - A new flag, --encode-output-strings, or -eos, has been added to resolve issue git #83. This issue involves the interface between Perl::Tidy and calling programs, and Code::TidyAll (tidyall) in particular. The problem is that perltidy by default returns decoded character strings, but tidyall expects encoded strings. This flag provides a fix for that. So, tidyall users who process encoded (utf8) files should update to this version of Perl::Tidy and use -eos for tidyall. For further info see: https://github.com/houseabsolute/perl-code-tidyall/issues/84, and https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/issues/83 If there are other applications having utf8 problems at the interface with Perl::Tidy, this flag probably may need to be set. - The default value of the new flag, --encode-output-strings, -eos, is currently -neos BUT THIS MAY CHANGE in a future release because the current default is inconvenient. So authors of programs which receive character strings back from Perl::Tidy should set this flag, if necessary, to avoid any problems when the default changes. For more information see the above links and the Perl::Tidy man pages for example coding. - The possible values of the string 's' for the flag '--character-encoding=s' have been limited to 'utf8' (or UTF-8), 'none', or 'guess'. Previously an arbitrary encoding could also be specified, but as a result of discussions regarding git #83 it became clear that this could cause trouble since the output encoding was still restricted to UTF-8. Users who need to work in other encodings can write a short program calling Perl::Tidy with pre- and post-processing to handle encoding/decoding. - A new flag --break-after-labels=i, or -bal=i, was added for git #86. This controls line breaks after labels, to provide a uniform style, as follows: -bal=0 follows the input line breaks [DEFAULT] -bal=1 always break after a label -bal=2 never break after a label For example: # perltidy -bal=1 INIT: { $xx = 1.234; } # perltidy -bal=2 INIT: { $xx = 1.234; } - Fix issue git #82, an error handling something like ${bareword} in a possible indirect object location. Perl allows this, now perltidy does too. - The flags -kbb=s or --keep-old-breakpoints-before=s, and its counterpart -kba=s or --keep-old-breakpoints-after=s have expanded functionality for the container tokens: { [ ( } ] ). The updated man pages have details. - Two new flags have been added to provide finer vertical alignment control, --valign-exclusion-list=s (-vxl=s) and --valign-inclusion-list=s (-vil=s). This has been requested several times, most recently in git #79, and it finally got done. For example, -vil='=>' means just align on '=>'. - A new flag -gal=s, --grep-alias-list=s, has been added as suggested in git #77. This allows code blocks passed to list operator functions to be formatted in the same way as a code block passed to grep, map, or sort. By default, the following list operators in List::Util are included: all any first none notall reduce reductions They can be changed with the flag -gaxl=s, -grep-alias-exclusion-list=s - A new flag -xlp has been added which can be set to avoid most of the limitations of the -lp flag regarding side comments, blank lines, and code blocks. See the man pages for more info. This fixes git #64 and git #74. The older -lp flag still works. - A new flag -lpil=s, --line-up-parentheses-inclusion-list=s, has been added as an alternative to -lpxl=s, --line-up-parentheses-exclusion-list=s. It supplies equivalent information but is much easier to describe and use. It works for both the older -lp version and the newer -xlp. - The coding for the older -lp flag has been updated to avoid some problems and limitations. The new coding allows the -lp indentation style to mix smoothly with the standard indentation in a single file. Some problems where -lp and -xci flags were not working well together have been fixed, such as happened in issue rt140025. As a result of these updates some minor changes in existing code using the -lp style may occur. - This version of perltidy was stress-tested for many cpu hours with random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks, undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen. - Numerous minor fixes have been made, mostly very rare formatting instabilities found in random testing.
