https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1826270 Bug ID: 1826270 Summary: Review Request: perl-B-COW - Additional B helpers to check Copy On Write status Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Spec URL: http://subversion.city-fan.org/repos/cfo-repo/perl-B-COW/branches/fedora/perl-B-COW.spec SRPM URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-B-COW/perl-B-COW-0.003-2.fc33.src.rpm Description: B::COW provides some naïve additional B helpers to check the Copy On Write (COW) status of one SvPV (a Perl string variable). A COWed SvPV is sharing its string (the PV) with other SvPVs. It's a (kind of) Read Only C string, which would be Copied On Write (COW). More than one SV can share the same PV, but when one PV needs to alter it, it would perform a copy of it, decreasing the COWREFCNT counter. One SV can then drop the COW flag when it's the only one holding a pointer to the PV. The COWREFCNT is stored at the end of the PV, after the null byte terminating the string. That value is limited to 255: when we reach 255, a new PV would be created.
