From 44df5859e0c917aaf9a34aa6619cf5fe7d3fcf4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Flavio S. Glock" Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 20:59:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/15] Fix exiftool CLI: readdir list context, stat _ ctime, remove AST retry - readdir in list context returned scalar count instead of file list, breaking recursive directory scanning (-r option) - stat _ after file test ops returned mtime as ctime because native stat fields were not preserved; now statForFileTest calls nativeStat - Remove AST split retry loop that caused infinite retries on large scripts like exiftool (8000+ lines) - Restore CWD in glob.t to prevent cascading test failures Generated with [Devin](https://cli.devin.ai/docs) Co-Authored-By: Devin --- .../backend/jvm/EmitterMethodCreator.java | 30 ------------------- .../perlonjava/runtime/io/DirectoryIO.java | 13 ++------ .../runtime/operators/FileTestOperator.java | 4 +-- .../perlonjava/runtime/operators/Stat.java | 2 +- src/test/resources/unit/glob.t | 3 ++ 5 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/backend/jvm/EmitterMethodCreator.java b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/backend/jvm/EmitterMethodCreator.java index 9e0f56dba..919750bfd 100644 --- a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/backend/jvm/EmitterMethodCreator.java +++ b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/backend/jvm/EmitterMethodCreator.java @@ -14,10 +14,8 @@ import org.objectweb.asm.util.Printer;

Three changes: 1. InterpretedCode constructor: set packageName from compilePackage 2. BytecodeCompiler: set packageName on anonymous sub InterpretedCode 3. BytecodeInterpreter: save/restore InterpreterState.currentPackage at subroutine boundaries so eval STRING inherits correct package This fixes Test2::API's INIT { eval 'END { test2_set_is_end() }' } which was failing with "Undefined subroutine &main::test2_set_is_end".

This caused `my ($a) = @_` in interpreter-compiled anonymous subs to assign the array count instead of the first element. Use flattenElements() to resolve aggregates into individual scalars before indexing. This brings interpreter test pass rate to 100%.

Glock" Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 17:14:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 14/15] Fix list slice (list)[$i] returning empty in interpreter Two bugs fixed: 1. BytecodeCompiler: handleGeneralArrayAccess compiled the left side (e.g. (0,0,1,1)) in the callers context. In scalar context, the comma expression returned only the last value instead of creating a list. Fix: force LIST context for the base expression. 2. SlowOpcodeHandler: executeDerefArrayNonStrict only handled RuntimeArray and scalar types. When CREATE_LIST produced a RuntimeList, the handler fell through to scalar() which converted the list to a count. Fix: add RuntimeList case that converts to RuntimeArray.
