Perl 5.38 was released on 2023-07-03. This patch supports the new features
for 5.36 and 5.38 for font-lock, indentation, and imenu index creation.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-praise): Mention classes.
(defconst): Fix typo in docstring of cperl--single-attribute-rx.
Add "class" to cperl--package-rx, and adjust its docstring.
New rx sequence cperl--class-for-imenu-rx to capture classes,
use this in cperl--imenu-entries-rx.
Add "method" to cperl--sub-name-for-imenu-rx.
Add "class" to cperl--block-declaration-rx.
(cperl-sub-keywords): Add "method".
(cperl-mode): Add "ADJUST" to defun-prompt-regexp.
(cperl-after-block-p): Add new keywords for Perl 5.36 and 5.38.
(cperl-indent-exp): Add "field" to expression starters.
(cperl-imenu--create-perl-index): Rename variables refering to
"package", because they also contain classes.
(cperl-init-faces): Add new keywords for Perl 5.36 and 5.38.
(cperl-find-tags): Add support for "class".
(cperl-short-docs): Add new keywords for Perl 5.36 and 5.38.
(cperl-indent-exp): Add new keywords for Perl 5.36 and 5.38.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test-fontify-class): New test for fontification of class
elements.
(cperl-test-imenu-index): Add tests for (nested) class
definitions.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-resources/cperl-indents.erts:
Add test cases for try/catch/finally, defer, class, method
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-resources/perl-class.pl: New
resource for fontification tests of class elements.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-resources/grammar.pl: Add some
classes to the test resource.
Replace all "A-Z" regexp literals with unicode-aware rx constructs
wherever Perl allows non-ASCII identifiers.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el (cperl-after-sub-regexp)
(cperl-after-label. cperl-sniff-for-indent)
(cperl-find-pods-heres, cperl-indent-exp)
(cperl-fix-line-spacing, cperl-imenu--create-perl-index)
(cperl-init-faces, cperl-find-tags):
Replace ASCII regex literals by unicode-aware rx constructs.
(cperl-init-faces): Eliminate unused lexical `font-lock-anchored'.
(cperl-have-help-regexp, cperl-word-at-point-hard): Allow non-ASCII
word characters.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test-fontify-special-variables): New test for $^T
and $^{VARNAME}.
(cperl-test-ws-rx cperl-test-ws+-rx),
(cperl-test-version-regexp, cperl-test-package-regexp): Skip
for perl-mode.
(cperl-test-identifier-rx, cperl--test-unicode-setup)
(cperl-test-unicode-labels, cperl-test-unicode-sub)
(cperl-test-unicode-varname)
(cperl-test-unicode-varname-list, cperl-test-unicode-arrays)
(cperl-test-unicode-hashes, cperl-test-unicode-hashref)
(cperl-test-unicode-proto, cperl-test-unicode-fhs)
(cperl-test-unicode-hashkeys, cperl-test-word-at-point):
New tests for unicode identifiers.
(cperl-test-imenu-index): Add a unicode identifier to the test.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-resources/grammar.pl: Add a
function with non-ASCII name for imenu tests.
* lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode.el
(cperl-imenu-addback): Customization variable deleted. This
variable has been declared obsolete in 1998.
(cperl--basic-identifier-regexp) and many other variables:
defining regular expressions for basic Perl constructs.
(cperl-imenu--create-perl-index): This function has been
completely rewritten, keeping only some parts of the output
formatting. It now recognizes a lot more package and
subroutine declarations which came since Perl 5.14: Packages
with a version and/or a block attached, lexical subroutines,
declarations with a newline between the keyword "package" and
the package name, and several more. This version also
correctly separates subroutine names from attributes, does no
longer support "unnamed" packages (which don't exist in Perl),
and doesn't fall for false positives like stuff that looks
like a declaration in a multiline string.
(cperl-tags-hier-init): Eliminate call to
`cperl-imenu-addback` (which actually was commented out in
1997)
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-tests.el
(cperl-test--validate-regexp) and six other new tests for the
new regular expressions and the index creation.
* test/lisp/progmodes/cperl-mode-resources/grammar.pl: New
file showcasing different syntax variations for package and
sub declarations (bug#46574).
