Thursday 16th April 2026
Fedora Project
Updated perl-Devel-CallParser to 0.004 in Rawhide:
Fix failing tests where '.' was removed from INC
Fix cpantester fails on debug perls; switch to a rv2cv op that dereferences a code reference, matching what Perl expects as the last child of OP_ENTERSUB newUNOP(OP_RV2CV, 0, newSVOP(OP_CONST, 0, newRV_inc((SV*)cv)));
Fix qerror compatibility across perl versions: declare Perl_qerror via EXTERN_C to fix implicit declaration error on blead perl 5.43.9+ and avoid Perl_yyerror linker failure on Windows
PERL_VERSION_GE is now wrapped in #ifndef so it skips the local definition when Perl's handy.h already defines it
The qerror fallback now checks for Perl_qerror first (older Perls), and falls back to Perl_yyerror
Fix t/leximport.t failures on threaded/debugging Perl builds: add find_lexical_cv() helper that checks %^H hints hash directly for Lexical::Sub CVs before falling back to rv2cv_op_cv() lookup

Wrote replacement for gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data
Update FSDB to handle FST_ST_SV_ARRAY (VCS emits this), FSDB_ST_SV_INTERFACEPORT_REF, and FSDB_VT_STRING
Added "SV_ST_ARRAY" to exclude file parsing on init
Fix use after free of GLOBALS->entrybox_text in regexp_highlight_generic()
