Lexical::SealRequireHints - prevent leakage of lexical hints

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Lexical::SealRequireHints;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module works around two historical bugs in Perl's handling of the
C<%^H> (lexical hints) variable.  One bug causes lexical state in one
file to leak into another that is C<require>d/C<use>d/C<do>ed from it.
This bug, [perl #68590], was present from Perl 5.6 up to Perl 5.10, fixed
in Perl 5.11.0.  The second bug causes lexical state (normally a blank
C<%^H> once the first bug is fixed) to leak outwards from C<utf8.pm>, if
it is automatically loaded during Unicode regular expression matching,
into whatever source is compiling at the time of the regexp match.
This bug, [perl #73174], was present from Perl 5.8.7 up to Perl 5.11.5,
fixed in Perl 5.12.0.

Both of these bugs seriously damage the usability of any module relying
on C<%^H> for lexical scoping, on the affected Perl versions.  It is in
practice essential to work around these bugs when using such modules.
On versions of Perl that require such a workaround, this module globally
changes the behaviour of C<require>, including C<use> and the implicit
C<require> performed in Unicode regular expression matching, and of C<do>,
so that they no longer exhibit these bugs.

The workaround supplied by this module takes effect the first time its
C<import> method is called.  Typically this will be done by means of a
C<use> statement.  This should be done as early as possible, because it
only affects C<require>/C<use>/C<do> statements that are compiled after
the workaround goes into effect.  For C<use> statements, and C<require>
and C<do> statements that are executed immediately and only once,
it suffices to invoke the workaround when loading the first module
that will set up vulnerable lexical state.  Delayed-action C<require>
and C<do> statements, however, are more troublesome, and can require
the workaround to be loaded much earlier.  Ultimately, an affected Perl
program may need to load the workaround as very nearly its first action.
Invoking this module multiple times, from multiple modules, is not a
problem: the workaround is only applied once, and applies to everything
subsequently compiled.

This module is implemented in XS, with a pure Perl backup version for
systems that can't handle XS modules.  The XS version has a better
chance of playing nicely with other modules that modify C<require>
or C<do> handling.  The pure Perl version can't work at all on some
Perl versions; users of those versions must use the XS.  On all Perl
versions suffering the underlying hint leakage bug, pure Perl hooking
of C<require> breaks the use of C<require> without an explicit parameter
(implicitly using C<$_>).

=head1 PERL VERSION DIFFERENCES

The history of the C<%^H> bugs is complex.  Here is a chronological
statement of the relevant changes.

=over

=item Perl 5.6.0

C<%^H> introduced.  It exists only as a hash at compile time.  It is not
localised by C<require>/C<do>, so lexical hints leak into every module
loaded, which is bug [perl #68590].

The C<CORE::GLOBAL> mechanism doesn't work cleanly for C<require>, because
overriding C<require> loses the necessary special parsing of bareword
arguments to it.  As a result, pure Perl code can't properly globally
affect the behaviour of C<require>.  Pure Perl code can localise C<%^H>
itself for any particular C<require> invocation, but a global fix is
only possible through XS.

=item Perl 5.7.2

The C<CORE::GLOBAL> mechanism now works cleanly for C<require>, so pure
Perl code can globally affect the behaviour of C<require> to achieve a
global fix for the bug.

=item Perl 5.8.7

When C<utf8.pm> is automatically loaded during Unicode regular expression
matching, C<%^H> now leaks outward from it into whatever source is
compiling at the time of the regexp match, which is bug [perl #73174].
It often goes unnoticed, because [perl #68590] makes C<%^H> leak into
C<utf8.pm> which then doesn't modify it, so what leaks out tends to
be identical to what leaked in.  If [perl #68590] is worked around,
however, C<%^H> tends to be (correctly) blank inside C<utf8.pm>, and
this bug therefore blanks it for the outer module.

=item Perl 5.9.4

C<%^H> now exists in two forms.  In addition to the relatively ordinary
hash that is modified during compilation, the value that it had at each
point in compilation is recorded in the compiled op tree, for later
examination at runtime.  It is in a special representation-sharing
format, and writes to C<%^H> are meant to be performed on both forms.
C<require>/C<do> does not localise the runtime form of C<%^H> (and still
doesn't localise the compile-time form).

A couple of special C<%^H> entries are erroneously written only to the
runtime form.

Pure Perl code, although it can localise the compile-time C<%^H> by
normal means, can't adequately localise the runtime C<%^H>, except by
using a string eval stack frame.  This makes a satisfactory global fix
for the leakage bug impossible in pure Perl.

=item Perl 5.10.1

C<require>/C<do> now properly localise the runtime form of C<%^H>,
but still not the compile-time form.

A global fix is once again possible in pure Perl, because the fix only
needs to localise the compile-time form.

=item Perl 5.11.0

C<require>/C<do> now properly localise both forms of C<%^H>, fixing
[perl #68590].  This makes [perl #73174] apparent without any workaround
for [perl #68590].

The special C<%^H> entries are now correctly written to both forms of
the hash.

=item Perl 5.12.0

The automatic loading of C<utf8.pm> during Unicode regular expression
matching now properly restores C<%^H>, fixing [perl #73174].

=head1 BUGS

The operation of this module depends on influencing the compilation
of C<require> and C<do>.  As a result, it cannot prevent lexical state
leakage through a C<require>/C<do> statement that was compiled before
this module was invoked.  Where problems occur, this module must be
invoked earlier.

On all Perl versions that need a fix for the lexical hint leakage bug,
the pure Perl implementation of this module unavoidably breaks the use
of C<require> without an explicit parameter (implicitly using C<$_>).
This is due to another bug in the Perl core, fixed in Perl 5.15.5, and is
inherent to the mechanism by which pure Perl code can hook C<require>.
The use of implicit C<$_> with C<require> is rare, so although this
state of affairs is faulty it will actually work for most programs.
Perl versions 5.12.0 and greater, despite having the C<require> hooking
bug, don't actually exhibit a problem with the pure Perl version of this
module, because with the lexical hint leakage bug fixed there is no need
for this module to hook C<require>.

There is a bug on Perl versions 5.15.5 to 5.15.7 affecting C<do> which,
among other effects, causes C<%^H> to leak into C<do>ed files.  It is
not the same bug that affected Perl 5.6 to 5.11.  This module currently
does not work around this bug at all, but its test suite does detect it.
As a result, this module fails its test suite on those Perl versions.
This could change in future versions of this module.
