Module-Generic-v1.5.2

Changes for version v1.5.2 - 2026-06-01

  • Fixed SIGSEGV at exit on Perl 5.16 to 5.22 with useithreads, caused by CORE::lock on a reference to a scalar leaf inside a :shared hash. Affected approximately 23 of 38 test files in 'make test' on CPAN Testers smokers running these configurations.
  • Refactored Module::Generic::Global to lock parent :shared hashes rather than leaf scalar entries: twelve places updated across new(), get(), set(), remove(), length(), lock(), cleanup_register(), _decrement(). Lock granularity changes from per-key to per-namespace or per-top-level-hash; functional behaviour is unchanged.
  • Added END/DESTRUCT phase guards at the top of every public method in Module::Generic::Global. Methods called during terminal phases now return a sentinel value (undef for getters, 1 for no-op operations) rather than touching :shared structures, which would SIGSEGV on older threads::shared releases.
  • Adapted error() to skip Module::Generic::Global::Exception object construction and the global $ERRORS write during terminal phases. A warn() is still emitted so diagnostic output reaches the user; the per-object _error slot is still populated with the bare message.
  • Internalised _in_end_phase() and _in_global_destruction() into Module::Generic::Global to avoid cross-package calls into Module::Generic, which would silently fail when Global is loaded before Module::Generic.
  • Hardened _share_repo() to refuse all work during END/DESTRUCT phases, and to populate plain (non-shared) refs into the global hashes when _NEED_SHARED is false, with a separate branch for the shared case.
  • Added _in_end_phase() helper to Module::Generic (companion to the pre-existing _in_global_destruction()), returning true during the Perl END phase. Useful for cleanup logic in user DESTROY methods.
