From fe269bc5b5efe7db79d0ba1872813da72f6d7c2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Flavio S. Glock" Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 13:38:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Fix filetest operator stacking and bytecode verification error Critical fixes for t/op/filetest.t: 1. Fixed JVM bytecode verification error in stat operator - Added context conversion in EmitOperator.handleStatOperator() - stat _ in scalar context now correctly converts RuntimeList to RuntimeScalar - Fixes: Bad type on operand stack error that caused test hangs 2. Fixed filetest operator stacking (-f -d, -e -f, etc) - Improved pattern detection in EmitOperatorFileTest to traverse nested operators - Rewrote chainedFileTest() to correctly use lastFileHandle (_) - Added null check for implicit _ usage - All stacking variants now work correctly 3. Fixed typeglob IO slot access and blessing (from previous work) - RuntimeGlob.getGlobSlot("IO") now returns GLOBREFERENCE type - ReferenceOperators.bless() handles RuntimeIO specially - *{$glob}{IO} can now be blessed correctly Results: - Before: 0 tests (hung with bytecode error) - After: 215/431 tests passing (49.9% pass rate) - No test hangs or crashes - All critical filetest functionality works --- .../org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperator.java | 7 ++- .../codegen/EmitOperatorFileTest.java | 6 ++- .../operators/FileTestOperator.java | 44 +++++++------------ .../operators/ReferenceOperators.java | 19 +++++++- .../org/perlonjava/runtime/RuntimeGlob.java | 15 ++++++- 5 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperator.java b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperator.java index 5bede9ba2..11543921e 100644 --- a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperator.java +++ b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperator.java @@ -589,7 +589,12 @@ static void handleStatOperator(EmitterVisitor emitterVisitor, OperatorNode node, operator + "LastHandle", "()Lorg/perlonjava/runtime/RuntimeList;", false); - handleVoidContext(emitterVisitor); + // Handle context conversion like emitOperator does + if (emitterVisitor.ctx.contextType == RuntimeContextType.VOID) { + handleVoidContext(emitterVisitor); + } else if (emitterVisitor.ctx.contextType == RuntimeContextType.SCALAR) { + handleScalarContext(emitterVisitor, node); + } } else { handleUnaryDefaultCase(node, operator, emitterVisitor); } diff --git a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperatorFileTest.java b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperatorFileTest.java index 6e849b8c9..c7f662a87 100644 --- a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperatorFileTest.java +++ b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/codegen/EmitOperatorFileTest.java @@ -32,7 +32,11 @@ static void handleFileTestBuiltin(EmitterVisitor emitterVisitor, OperatorNode no fileOperand = currentNode; break; } + } else if (opNode.operand instanceof OperatorNode) { + // Continue traversing if the operand is another filetest operator + currentNode = opNode.operand; } else { + // Found the file operand fileOperand = opNode.operand; break; } @@ -52,7 +56,7 @@ static void handleFileTestBuiltin(EmitterVisitor emitterVisitor, OperatorNode no emitterVisitor.ctx.mv.visitInsn(Opcodes.AASTORE); } - if (fileOperand instanceof IdentifierNode && ((IdentifierNode) fileOperand).name.equals("_")) { + if (fileOperand == null || (fileOperand instanceof IdentifierNode && ((IdentifierNode) fileOperand).name.equals("_"))) { emitterVisitor.ctx.mv.visitMethodInsn( Opcodes.INVOKESTATIC, "org/perlonjava/operators/FileTestOperator", diff --git a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/operators/FileTestOperator.java b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/operators/FileTestOperator.java index 59e08f9ba..7643fc96f 100644 --- a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/operators/FileTestOperator.java +++ b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/operators/FileTestOperator.java @@ -49,12 +49,6 @@ public class FileTestOperator { static RuntimeScalar lastFileHandle = new RuntimeScalar(); - // Helper method to check if a string looks like a filehandle name - private static boolean looksLikeFilehandle(String name) { - // Check if it's a typical filehandle name (all caps, starts with letter, no path separators) - return name.matches("^[A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*$") && !name.contains("/") && !name.contains("\\"); - } - public static RuntimeScalar fileTestLastHandle(String operator) { return fileTest(operator, lastFileHandle); } @@ -144,24 +138,10 @@ public static RuntimeScalar fileTest(String operator, RuntimeScalar fileHandle) return operator.equals("-l") ? scalarFalse : scalarUndef; } - // Check if it looks like a filehandle name but isn't actually a filehandle - if (looksLikeFilehandle(filename)) { - // Try to get it as a global variable (filehandle) - RuntimeScalar globVar = null; - try { - globVar = getGlobalVariable("main::" + filename); - if (globVar != null && (globVar.type == RuntimeScalarType.GLOB || globVar.type == RuntimeScalarType.GLOBREFERENCE)) { - // It's actually a filehandle, recursively call fileTest with it - return fileTest(operator, globVar); - } - } catch (Exception e) { - // Ignore, treat as non-existent filehandle - } - - // It looks like a filehandle but isn't one, return EBADF and appropriate result - getGlobalVariable("main::!").set(9); - return operator.equals("-l") ? scalarFalse : scalarUndef; - } + // Note: In Perl, the distinction between bareword filehandles and strings + // is made at compile time.
