fix: DESTROY timing, DBI lifecycle, and DBIx::Class compatibility#485
Conversation
Two regressions from the DESTROY/weaken merge (PR #464): 1. BytecodeInterpreter: SCOPE_EXIT_CLEANUP_ARRAY/HASH/scalar opcodes crash with ClassCastException when the interpreter fallback path reuses registers with unexpected types. Add instanceof guards before casting. Fixes Sub::Exporter::Progressive (used by Devel::GlobalDestruction, needed by DBIx::Class). 2. GlobalDestruction: runGlobalDestruction() iterates global variable HashMaps while DESTROY callbacks can modify them, causing ConcurrentModificationException. Snapshot collections with toArray() before iterating. Fixes DBIx::Class Makefile.PL.

…ings Add localBindingExists flag to RuntimeBase that tracks when a named hash/array (my %hash, my @array) has had a reference created via the \ operator. This flag indicates a JVM local variable slot holds a strong reference not counted in refCount. When refCount reaches 0, the flag prevents premature callDestroy since the local variable may still be alive. The flag is cleared at scope exit (scopeExitCleanupHash/Array), allowing subsequent refCount==0 to correctly trigger callDestroy. This fixes the DBIx::Class bug where \%reg stored via accessor caused premature DESTROY of Schema objects when %reg went out of scope, even though the hash was still alive through the stored reference. The localBindingExists check is applied consistently across all refCount decrement paths: setLargeRefCounted, undefine, weaken, MortalList.flush, and MortalList.popAndFlush.

Sub::Exporter::Progressive's import() relies on caller() to determine
the target package. When Sub::Uplevel overrides CORE::GLOBAL::caller
(used by Test::Exception via Test::Builder), PerlOnJava's caller()
returns wrong frames during `use` processing, causing SEP to install
exports into the wrong package. This prevented in_global_destruction
from being exported to Devel::GlobalDestruction, which namespace::clean
then removed, causing a bareword error in DESTROY methods.
Fix by bundling a simplified Devel::GlobalDestruction that uses plain
Exporter instead of Sub::Exporter::Progressive. Since PerlOnJava always
has ${^GLOBAL_PHASE} (Perl 5.14+ feature), the implementation is a
simple one-liner.

Prevents premature DESTROY of return values from chained method calls like shift->clone->connection(@_). During list assignment materialization (my ($self, @info) = @_), setLargeRefCounted calls MortalList.flush() which processes pending decrements from inner scope exits (e.g., clone's $self). This can drop the return value's refCount to 0 before the caller's LHS variables capture it, triggering DESTROY and clearing weak refs to still-live objects. The fix: - Adds MortalList.suppressFlush() to temporarily block flush() execution - RuntimeList.setFromList() suppresses flushing around the materialization and LHS assignment phase, then restores the previous state - Also adds reentrancy guard to flush() itself (try/finally with flushing flag) to prevent cascading DESTROY from re-entering flush() This fixes the DBIx::Class "detached result source" error where Schema->connect() returned an undefined value because the Schema clone was destroyed mid-construction.

Blessed objects whose class has no DESTROY method (e.g., Moo objects like DBIx::Class::Storage::BlockRunner) were set to refCount=-1 (untracked) at bless time, so when they went out of scope their hash/array elements' refcounts were never decremented. Changes: - ReferenceOperators.bless(): always track all blessed objects regardless of whether DESTROY exists in the class hierarchy. Previously, classes without DESTROY got refCount=-1 (untracked). - DestroyDispatch.doCallDestroy(): when no DESTROY method is found, still cascade into hash/array elements via scopeExitCleanupHash/ scopeExitCleanupArray + flush() to decrement contained references.

do { BLOCK } return values were being prematurely destroyed when the
block contained lexical variables. The scope-exit flush processed
deferred decrements from inner subroutine returns before the caller
could capture the do-block result via assignment.
This fixes 11 of 12 "Unreachable cached statement still active" failures
in DBIx::Class t/60core.t. The Cursor DESTROY now fires at the correct
time, calling finish() on cached statement handles.
Root cause: do-blocks were treated as regular bare blocks (flush=true),
but like subroutine bodies, their return value is on the JVM operand
stack and must not be destroyed before the caller captures it.
Fix: Annotate do-blocks with blockIsDoBlock and skip mortal flush at
scope exit, matching the existing blockIsSubroutine behavior. Both
JVM backend (EmitBlock) and bytecode interpreter (BytecodeCompiler)
are updated.

When die throws inside eval{}, lexical variables between the die point
and the eval boundary go out of scope. Previously, their DESTROY methods
were never called because the SCOPE_EXIT_CLEANUP opcodes were skipped
by Java exception handling.
This fix adds scope-exit cleanup in both backends:
Bytecode interpreter:
- EVAL_TRY now records the first body register index
- The exception catch handler iterates registers from that index,
calling scopeExitCleanup for each RuntimeScalar/Hash/Array,
then flushes the mortal list to trigger DESTROY
JVM backend:
- During eval body compilation, all my-variable local indices are
recorded via emitScopeExitNullStores into evalCleanupLocals
- The catch handler emits MortalList.evalExceptionScopeCleanup()
for each recorded local, then flushes
New runtime helper: MortalList.evalExceptionScopeCleanup(Object)
dispatches to the appropriate cleanup method based on runtime type.
This is critical for DBIx::Class TxnScopeGuard, which relies on
DESTROY firing during eval exception unwinding to rollback transactions.

Implement runtime cleanup stack (MyVarCleanupStack) to ensure DESTROY fires for blessed objects in my-variables when die propagates through regular subroutines without an enclosing eval. Approach: register my-variables at creation time on a runtime stack, and unwind (running scopeExitCleanup) when exceptions propagate through RuntimeCode.apply(). Normal scope exit uses existing bytecodes and discards registrations via popMark. Key changes: - New MyVarCleanupStack class with pushMark/register/unwindTo/popMark - EmitVariable.java: emit register() after my-variable ASTORE - RuntimeCode.java: wrap 3 static apply() overloads with cleanup - BytecodeInterpreter.java: propagatingException for interpreter backend This replaces the failed emitter try/catch approach which caused try_catch.t failures due to JVM exception table ordering.

Sub bodies use flush=false in emitScopeExitNullStores to protect
return values on the JVM operand stack. This caused DESTROY to fire
outside the caller's dynamic scope -- e.g., after local $SIG{__WARN__}
unwinds, causing Test::Warn to miss warnings from DESTROY.
In void context there is no return value to protect, so we can safely
flush deferred decrements immediately after the sub returns. Added
MortalList.flush() after mortalizeForVoidDiscard in all three static
apply() overloads.

Three fixes for DBI handle garbage collection and resource management: 1. Use createReferenceWithTrackedElements() for Java-created DBI handles instead of createReference(). The latter incorrectly sets localBindingExists=true (designed for Perl lexical `my %hash`), which prevents DESTROY from firing in MortalList.flush(). This affected all 43+ DBIx::Class test files with GC-only failures. 2. Add Java-side DBI::finish() that closes the JDBC PreparedStatement, releasing database locks (e.g., SQLite table locks). Also add $sth->finish() call in DBI::do() for temporary statement handles. Fixes: t/storage/on_connect_do.t test 8 (table locking). 3. Break circular reference between dbh.sth (stores full sth ref) and sth.Database (stores dbh ref). Now dbh.sth stores only the raw JDBC Statement object needed for the last_insert_id() fallback.

grep/map/sort/all/any block closures are compiled as anonymous subs that capture lexical variables, incrementing captureCount. Unlike eval blocks, these closures were never having releaseCaptures() called after execution. This caused captureCount to stay elevated, preventing scopeExitCleanup from decrementing blessed ref refCounts — objects could never reach refCount 0 and DESTROY would never fire. The fix adds eager releaseCaptures() calls in ListOperators after each operation completes. Only closures flagged as isMapGrepBlock (temporary block closures) are affected — named subs and user closures are not touched. Sort blocks now also receive the isMapGrepBlock annotation. Also includes MortalList.flush() before END blocks (from prior session) to ensure file-scoped lexical cleanup fires before END block dispatch. Impact: DBIx::Class Storage object refCount dropped from 237 to 1. Moo-generated constructors with grep-based required attribute validation no longer leak refCounts.

When `local @array` or `local %hash` scope exits, dynamicRestoreState() replaces the current elements with the saved ones. Previously, the current (local scope's) elements were simply discarded by JVM GC, without decrementing refCounts for any tracked blessed references they owned. This caused refCount leaks when Moo-generated writers used `local @_ = ($self, $value)` for inlined qsub triggers — each call leaked +1 on tracked objects stored in the same Moo object's hash. In DBIx::Class, this manifested as Storage refCount climbing by +1 per dbh_do() call (e.g., 108 after init_schema instead of 2). The fix calls MortalList.deferDestroyForContainerClear() on the outgoing elements before replacing them, matching the cleanup done by scopeExitCleanupArray/Hash for my-variable scope exit. Impact: Storage refCount stays at 2 after 100 dbh_do() calls. dbi_env.t failures reduced from 18 to 11 (remaining failures are DBI::db objects held by a different retention path).

The callCached() method (used for all method dispatch via $obj->method)
was missing MyVarCleanupStack management. When a called method died,
my-variables registered inside the method's bytecode were never cleaned
up via unwindTo(), causing their refCount decrements to be lost. This
meant blessed objects held in those my-variables would leak (DESTROY
never fires).
Root cause: Regular function calls go through the static apply() which
wraps execution with MyVarCleanupStack.pushMark()/unwindTo()/popMark().
Method calls via callCached() bypassed this wrapper, calling either the
raw PerlSubroutine.apply() (cache hit) or the instance RuntimeCode.apply()
(cache miss) - neither of which manages MyVarCleanupStack.
Fix: Add MyVarCleanupStack.pushMark()/unwindTo()/popMark() to callCached()
by extracting the body into callCachedInner() and wrapping it with the
cleanup try-catch-finally.
Also fixes DBI.pm circular reference: weaken $sth->{Database} back-link
to $dbh, matching Perl 5's XS-based DBI which uses weak child→parent refs.
Together these fix all 4 remaining refCount leaks in DBIx::Class dbi_env.t
(tests 28-31), bringing it to 27/27 pass + 38 leak checks clean.

Anonymous arrays created by [...] were not birth-tracked (refCount stayed at -1/untracked), unlike anonymous hashes which properly set refCount=0 in createReferenceWithTrackedElements(). This caused blessed object references stored inside anonymous arrays to leak: the containerStore INC was never matched by a DEC when the array went out of scope, so the blessed object's refCount never reached 0 and DESTROY was never called. This was the root cause of DBIx::Class leak detection failures, where connect_info(\@info) wraps args in an arrayref. The fix adds the same birth-tracking logic to RuntimeArray that RuntimeHash already had: set refCount=0 for anonymous arrays so setLargeRefCounted can properly count references and callDestroy can cascade element cleanup when the array is no longer referenced.

splice() called deferDecrementIfTracked() on removed elements without checking runtimeArray.elementsOwned. For @_ arrays (populated via setArrayOfAlias), the elements are aliases to the caller's variables, not owned copies. The alias shares the same RuntimeScalar as the caller's variable, so refCountOwned reflects the caller's ownership, not @_'s. This caused splice to decrement refCounts that @_ never incremented, triggering premature DESTROY while the object was still in scope. The fix adds the elementsOwned guard to splice's removal loop, matching the pattern already used by shift() and pop(). For @_ arrays where elementsOwned is false, the DEC is skipped.

DBI.java: In fetchrow_arrayref and fetchrow_hashref, downgrade STRING to BYTE_STRING when all characters are in the byte range (0x00-0xFF).

Remaining 85utf8.t failures (tests 11, 17 + crash at 182) are all caused by the systemic JDBC/DBI difference: JDBC sends Unicode bind parameters while Perl 5's DBI sends raw bytes, combined with the upstream DBIC create() bug (known since 2006).

The s///eg replacement is compiled as an anonymous sub that captures lexical variables from the enclosing scope (incrementing their captureCount). Since this closure is a JVM stack temporary (not a Perl 'my' variable), scopeExitCleanup is never called for it, so releaseCaptures() would never fire. This caused captured variables' captureCount to stay elevated, preventing refCount decrement at scope exit, so DESTROY never fired for objects referenced by s///eg closures. This fix: 1. Calls releaseCaptures() on the replacement RuntimeCode after substitution completes, allowing captured variables' captureCount to return to 0 at scope exit 2.

When eval STRING creates closures (e.g., map/grep blocks), the
BytecodeCompiler captures ALL visible lexicals for eval STRING
compatibility. This inflates captureCount on variables that the
closure doesn't actually use (like $rows in `map { Obj->new() }`).
When these closures are temporary (used by map then discarded),
captureCount stays elevated because releaseCaptures is never
called - the closure is overwritten in the register without
cleanup. This prevents scopeExitCleanup from decrementing
refCount on the captured variable's referent, so DESTROY never
fires for blessed objects held in unblessed containers.
Fix: Track closures created by CREATE_CLOSURE in each interpreter
frame. At frame exit (finally block), release captures for
closures that were never stored via set() (refCount stayed at 0).
This matches the JVM-compiled path where scopeExitCleanup
releases captures for CODE refs with refCount=0.
Also includes: tied scalar handling in method dispatch, DBI
quote/quote_identifier methods.

Three fixes for DBIx::Class test failures:
1. DBI fetch UTF-8 encoding: JDBC returns decoded Unicode strings, but
Perl 5's DBD::SQLite returns raw UTF-8 bytes (no UTF-8 flag). Now
fetchrow_arrayref/fetchrow_hashref UTF-8 encode the JDBC string to
produce BYTE_STRING, matching Perl 5 behavior (sqlite_unicode=0).
Fixes t/85utf8.t tests 11, 16-17.
2. DBI bind_param type preservation: bind_param() was extracting the raw
Object value and creating new RuntimeScalar(value), which always set
type=STRING. This lost the BYTE_STRING type needed for correct UTF-8
round-tripping. Now uses set() to copy both type and value.
3. DBI toJdbcValue BYTE_STRING handling: When BYTE_STRING contains valid
UTF-8 bytes (from utf8::encode), UTF-8 decode them to get actual
characters before passing to JDBC. Combined with the fetch-side UTF-8
encode, this creates a correct round-trip:
INSERT: bytes -> UTF-8 decode -> chars -> JDBC -> SQLite
SELECT: SQLite -> JDBC -> chars -> UTF-8 encode -> bytes (same)
Falls back to passing raw chars for non-UTF-8 byte strings.
Fixes t/85utf8.t tests 27-28.
4. Filehandle dup of closed handles: open($fh, '>&STDERR') on a closed
STDERR now correctly returns undef with $!="Bad file descriptor"
instead of silently succeeding with a wrapped ClosedIOHandle. Added
instanceof ClosedIOHandle checks to both duplicateFileHandle() and
createBorrowedHandle() in IOOperator.java.

Three related fixes for java.lang.VerifyError in complex Perl modules: 1. SubroutineParser: catch VerifyError during deferred class instantiation. When a compiled class has captured variables, instantiation (and JVM verification) is deferred until constructor.newInstance() in SubroutineParser. The existing catch(Exception) didn't catch VerifyError (which extends Error, not Exception). Now catches VerifyError and recompiles the subroutine with the interpreter backend. 2. EmitterMethodCreator: increase pre-initialization buffer from +64 to +256. TempLocalCountVisitor undercounts temp locals needed during bytecode emission (only counts &&/||/for/local/eval but not subroutine calls, dereferences, binary operators, etc.). The +64 buffer was insufficient for complex methods with 187+ local variables. Increasing to +256 prevents the VerifyError from occurring in most cases. 3. EmitterMethodCreator: add VerifyError to needsInterpreterFallback() and wrapAsCompiledCode() catch.

…on unwinding
The bytecode interpreter's exception propagation cleanup was calling
scopeExitCleanup on ALL registers from firstMyVarReg onwards, including
temporary registers that alias hash elements (via HASH_GET, HASH_DEREF_FETCH).
This caused spurious refCount decrements and premature DESTROY of DBI::db
handles during exception unwinding through BlockRunner's replace callback.
Fix: Scan bytecodes at InterpretedCode construction time to build a BitSet
of registers that are actual "my" variables (identified by SCOPE_EXIT_CLEANUP,
SCOPE_EXIT_CLEANUP_HASH, SCOPE_EXIT_CLEANUP_ARRAY opcodes). During exception
cleanup, only process registers in this BitSet, skipping temporaries.
Also adds DBI::installed_drivers stub, STORABLE_freeze/thaw hooks to prevent
Storable::dclone from sharing JDBC connections, and optional DBI_TRACE_DESTROY
env-var-gated tracing for future debugging.
Verified: DBIx::Class t/52leaks.t passes leak detection ("Auto checked 25
references for leaks - none detected"), and all unit tests pass.

…ment
Extend the getForLocal proxy mechanism to arrow dereference syntax.
Previously only direct hash access (local $hash{key}) was handled;
arrow dereference (local $ref->{key}) would lose the saved value when
the underlying hash was reassigned (e.g. %$ref = (...)).
JVM backend:
- RuntimeScalar: add hashDerefGetForLocal / hashDerefGetForLocalNonStrict
- Dereference: add "getForLocal" case in handleArrowHashDeref
- EmitOperatorLocal: detect arrow deref BinaryOperatorNode("->")/HashLiteralNode
Interpreter backend:
- Opcodes: add HASH_DEREF_FETCH_FOR_LOCAL (470) / HASH_DEREF_FETCH_NONSTRICT_FOR_LOCAL (471)
- BytecodeCompiler: patchLastHashGetForLocal now patches superoperators too
- BytecodeInterpreter: handlers for new opcodes call hash.getForLocal(key)
Also: remove debug logging, add disassembler support for new opcodes.

In Perl 5, @db::args is always populated when caller() is invoked from within package DB, regardless of debugger mode. PerlOnJava was only populating it in debug mode (DebugState.debugMode == true). Changes: - RuntimeCode.callerWithSub(): Use __SUB__.packageName and InterpreterState.currentPackage to detect package DB (replaces broken stack trace frame check). Use pre-skip argsFrame for argsStack indexing. - EmitOperator.handlePackageOperator(): Emit runtime call to InterpreterState.setCurrentPackage() so JVM-compiled package declarations update the runtime package tracker. - InterpreterState: Add setCurrentPackage() helper. This fixes Carp stack traces and DBIx::Class $SIG{__WARN__} handlers that rely on @db::args to capture subroutine arguments.

Three related fixes for DBIC t/52leaks.t leak detection:
1. DESTROY rescue refCount tracking: When Schema::DESTROY re-attaches
$self to a ResultSource (rescue pattern), properly transition the
rescued object's refCount from MIN_VALUE to 1 so cascading cleanup
can bring it back to 0 and clear weak refs. Added destroyFired flag
(SvDESTROYED equivalent) to prevent infinite DESTROY cycles.
2. Glob stash hash access: Fixed *{$::{"Pkg::"}}{HASH} and %$glob
(when $glob is a stash glob) to correctly resolve the package stash.
The glob for "main::UNIVERSAL::" needs to map to stash key
"UNIVERSAL::", not "main::UNIVERSAL::". This fixes Carp::_maybe_isa
which uses _fetch_sub(UNIVERSAL => "isa") via this access pattern.
3. B.pm refCount hygiene: Reworked svref_2object() and B::SV methods
to use $_[0]/$_[1] aliases instead of shift/local variables, avoiding
cooperative refcount inflation that breaks DBIC refcount checks.
Also adds "bless" to OVERRIDABLE_OP set (needed for DBIC's
CORE::GLOBAL::bless override) and processReadyDeferredCaptures()
for block-scope cleanup of captured blessed objects.

Update comments in DestroyDispatch to accurately document why destroyFired stays true after rescue (preventing re-invocation). Key insight: PerlOnJava's cooperative refCount inflation means Schema::DESTROY's `refcount($source) > 1` check always passes (inflated values), so rescue always triggers. Resetting destroyFired would cause infinite DESTROY loops. The clearAllBlessedWeakRefs sweep at exit handles final cleanup instead. Also documents why Perl 5's "DESTROY called multiple times" pattern (relied on by DBIC) cannot be directly replicated without fixing the root cause: refCount inflation in cooperative tracking.

Add rescue check in callDestroy's destroyFired path: when a rescued
object (in rescuedObjects list) has callDestroy triggered again by
the weaken cascade, skip clearWeakRefsTo and cascade entirely. This
keeps Schema's weak refs alive during DBIC's phantom chain test
(steps 0-22), where each step accesses Schema through weak refs in
ResultSource->{schema}.
Changes:
- DestroyDispatch.callDestroy: check rescuedObjects before cleanup
in the destroyFired path. Skip if object is still rescued.
- DestroyDispatch.processRescuedObjects: handle both refCount==1
(orphaned rescue ref) and refCount==MIN_VALUE (cascade-triggered).
- RuntimeScalar.setLargeRefCounted: rescue refCount set to 1 (was 2).
The rescue check in callDestroy replaces the orphaned +1 approach.
- B.pm: REFCNT returns raw cooperative value (no -1 adjustment).
Hash slot inflation compensates for PerlOnJava's lower refCounts.
- WeakRefRegistry.weaken: guard against double-decrement when
refCountOwned is already false.
- ReferenceOperators.bless: retroactive refCount for pre-bless
container elements.
Test results for t/52leaks.t:
- Tests 1-8 PASS (phantom chain tests 7-8 are new passes)
- Tests 9, 11 TODO (expected failures)
- Test 10 PASS
- Tests 12-18 FAIL (leak detection - cooperative refCount inflation)

…s callDestroy Fix 10a: Objects created by Storable::dclone get localBindingExists=true from createReferenceWithTrackedElements, but never receive scopeExitCleanupHash (only called for my %hash, not anonymous hashes stored in scalars). When their refCount reaches 0 in flush(), localBindingExists blocks callDestroy, leaving weak refs alive. Now we clear weak refs in this case, fixing false leak reports. Fix 10d: END-time clearAllBlessedWeakRefs now clears ALL objects (not just blessed ones). Unblessed containers (ARRAY, HASH from dclone, etc.) may have weak refs but never reach refCount 0 due to inflation. Clearing at END time is safe since the main script has returned. Also: removed diagnostic [DIAG] logging from MortalList.java and removed dead deepClearAllWeakRefs code from DestroyDispatch (too aggressive — cleared weak refs for objects still alive via other strong references, failing the destroy_anon_containers.t test).

…us hashes Storable::dclone (and its YAML/binary deserializers) created fresh hashes and arrays via `new RuntimeHash().createReference()` / `new RuntimeArray() .createReference()`. The `createReference()` method sets `localBindingExists=true` on the referent when it transitions from refCount=-1 → 0, because it's designed for the `\%named_hash` pattern where a local variable slot holds a strong reference. That flag is wrong for fresh anonymous data returned from deserializers: there is no named-variable slot keeping the object alive, so callDestroy should fire when refCount hits 0. With the flag set, DESTROY is suppressed indefinitely — behaving like a permanent leak for leak tracers like DBIC's assert_empty_weakregistry. Introduce `createAnonymousReference()` on both RuntimeHash and RuntimeArray that birth-tracks refCount=0 but does NOT set `localBindingExists=true`. Update Storable.java to use this in all 8 anonymous-construction sites (HASHREFERENCE/ARRAYREFERENCE branches of deepClone, SX_HASH/SX_ARRAY deserializers, YAML path, STORABLE_freeze/thaw hook path). This doesn't close the DBIC t/52leaks.t tests 12-18 gap by itself (those are blocked by refCount inflation of the outer container), but it fixes a real semantic bug that would have caused subtle leaks any time Storable output was weakened before being rooted elsewhere.

…d objects)
MortalList.scopeExitCleanupHash and scopeExitCleanupArray had a
fast-path shortcut:
if (!RuntimeBase.blessedObjectExists) return;
This skipped the container walk entirely when no object had been blessed
in the JVM. But weak refs can point to unblessed data too. If a program
did:
my $arr = [1,2,3];
my $base = { a => $arr };
$wr{arr} = $base->{a};
weaken($wr{arr});
without any bless() call anywhere, then at scope exit:
- %$base's values were never decremented (shortcut fired)
- $arr's refCount stayed elevated
- callDestroy never fired
- $wr{arr} stayed defined forever (false leak)
Fix: track whether weaken() has ever been called (new static
`WeakRefRegistry.weakRefsExist` flag, set in weaken(), stays true
forever — same pattern as blessedObjectExists). Only bail out of the
cascade when BOTH flags are false.
Minimal repro before fix (now passes):
use Scalar::Util qw(weaken);
my %wr;
{
my $arr = [1,2,3];
my $base = { a => $arr };
$wr{arr} = $base->{a};
weaken($wr{arr});
}
defined($wr{arr}) ? die "LEAK" : print "ok\n";
This does not close the DBIC t/52leaks.t tests 12-18 gap (DBIC
already blesses enough objects for blessedObjectExists=true), but
removes a real class of spurious leaks and is semantically correct.
No regressions in unit tests or DBIC suite (excluding upstream TODOs).

…st CODE refs)
Base.java's `importBase` used `GlobalVariable.isPackageLoaded()` to
decide whether to require the base class file, but that method only
checks for CODE refs in the package. This deviated from Perl's base.pm:
if (!defined(${"${base}::VERSION"}) && !@{"${base}::ISA"}) {
eval "require $base";
}
Perl considers the base package already loaded if EITHER @isa is
populated OR $VERSION is defined. PerlOnJava only checked for CODE refs.
This bit DBIC t/inflate/hri.t which does:
eval "package DBICTest::CDSubclass; use base '$orig_resclass'";
where $orig_resclass is DBICTest::CD — a class built programmatically
by DBIC schema registration. DBICTest::CD has @isa = ('DBICTest::Schema
::CD') populated in memory but no corresponding .pm file. The spurious
`require DBICTest::CD` then failed, aborting the test at line 1.
Fix: in Base.java:importBase, treat the base class as loaded if
`isPackageLoaded` OR `@ISA` is populated OR `$VERSION` is defined.
Also applies to any eval-created package or programmatically built
class hierarchy.
Test result: DBIC t/inflate/hri.t now passes 193/193 (previously failed
with "Can't locate DBICTest/CD.pm in @inc").

Java NIO's FileChannel.lock() throws OverlappingFileLockException if the
same JVM already holds a lock on overlapping bytes — even for SHARED
locks from different FileChannel objects on the same file. POSIX flock()
(which Perl exposes) allows multiple shared locks from the same process.
This mismatch caused `t/cdbi/columns_as_hashes.t` (and any test using
DBICTest's global lock) to deadlock. DBICTest::import does:
sysopen($fh1, $lockpath, O_RDWR|O_CREAT);
flock($fh1, LOCK_SH); # OK
...
# later, a transitively-loaded module re-runs DBICTest::import:
sysopen($fh2, $lockpath, O_RDWR|O_CREAT);
flock($fh2, LOCK_SH); # Perl: OK; jperl: EAGAIN
The second flock(LOCK_SH) returned false with "Resource deadlock
avoided", and `await_flock` looped for 15 minutes retrying.
Fix: add a per-JVM shared-lock registry keyed by canonical file path in
CustomFileChannel. The first shared-flock request on a path acquires a
real NIO FileLock; subsequent shared-flock requests on the same path
from different CustomFileChannel instances just increment a refCount.
LOCK_UN and close() decrement the count; the last holder releases the
NIO lock.
Exclusive locks and fd-only channels (no path) still use the straight
NIO path and accept its stricter single-lock-per-JVM semantics, which
matches what code asking for LOCK_EX would expect anyway.
Fixes:
- t/cdbi/columns_as_hashes.t: 15/15 passing (was hanging after test 12)
- t/zzzzzzz_perl_perf_bug.t: no longer hangs under `jcpan --jobs 1`

The test-context fork() stub unconditionally emitted
1..0 # SKIP fork() not supported on this platform (Java/JVM)
whenever Test/More.pm was loaded. That's correct at the start of a test
file (the whole plan is skipped), but catastrophically wrong after some
tests have already been emitted:
ok 1
ok 2
...
ok 34
1..0 # SKIP fork() not supported on this platform (Java/JVM)
prove reports "Bad plan. You planned 0 tests but ran 34." and fails the
whole test file even though every assertion passed. Seen in DBIC
t/storage/txn.t and t/storage/global_destruction.t.
Two related fixes:
1. Only emit the SKIP-all-and-exit path when no tests have been
emitted yet. Detect via Test::Builder::Test singleton's
current_test method.
2. When fork() does return undef (the "some tests already ran" case),
auto-load Errno and set $! to a numeric EAGAIN (35 on BSD/Darwin,
11 on Linux — picked up dynamically from Errno::EAGAIN()). This
makes the standard
my $pid = fork();
if (!defined $pid) {
skip "EAGAIN encountered" if $! == Errno::EAGAIN();
die "Unable to fork: $!";
}
pattern take the skip branch on the JVM, so fork-dependent
sub-tests are gracefully skipped instead of aborting the whole
file. Setting $! numerically creates a dualvar whose string value
is the standard "Resource temporarily unavailable" — more accurate
than a custom message since fork on the JVM genuinely cannot
succeed.
Test results:
- t/50fork.t: still `1..0 # SKIP` (no tests yet)
- t/storage/global_destruction.t: now `1..6` with 6 passes (was Bad plan)

DBI.java called dbh.put("AutoCommit", scalarTrue) and similar, putting
shared readonly RuntimeScalarReadOnly instances directly into the handle
hash. When user code does `$dbh->{AutoCommit} = 0`, PerlOnJava tries to
modify the stored scalar in place and fails with "Modification of a
read-only value attempted".
This bit DBIC t/storage/txn.t line 382, where the whole test aborted
after 34 tests even though every assertion passed. Root cause
confirmed via minimal reproducer:

my $dbh = DBICTest->init_schema->storage->dbh;

is a user-writable attribute. Covers initial handle setup, JDBC
BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK interception, begin_work, commit, rollback.

When a blessed object's `""` overload method returns the SAME object
(or any object whose `""` points back), PerlOnJava infinite-looped
between RuntimeScalar.toStringLarge and Overload.stringify and
eventually StackOverflowError'd. Real Perl avoids this by returning
the default reference stringification (CLASS=HASH(0x...)).
Example Perl-level reproducer (now works):
package Loop;
use overload '""' => sub { $_[0] }; # returns self
my $x = bless {}, 'Loop';
print "$x\n"; # prints "Loop=HASH(0x...)"
Two-part fix:
1. RuntimeScalar.toStringLarge: after Overload.stringify(this) returns,
check if it returned `this` (same object identity). If yes, fall back
to toStringRef() instead of calling .toString() on it (which would
re-enter the overload).
2. Overload.stringify: add a per-thread recursion depth guard
(STRINGIFY_MAX_DEPTH = 10) for the transitive case — object A whose
`""` returns B whose `""` returns A. Identity check alone wouldn't
catch that. When depth is exceeded, return the raw reference form.
Triggered at END time of DBIC t/storage/txn.t: the test's
DBICTest::BrokenOverload class has a deliberately-pathological `""`
overload to exercise this corner of the framework. Before this fix,
the stack overflowed after test 88 completed but before the plan was
emitted, causing prove to report "Bad plan" and mark the whole file
as failed.
After fix:
- t/storage/txn.t: 89/90 pass (was 88 then crash; before DBI fix was
34 then abort). Remaining failure is a warning-count assertion
(test 90), a pre-existing minor issue unrelated to the crash.
- Fixes overload_self.pl, destroy_anon_containers stringify patterns.

caller()'s @db::args is populated from RuntimeCode.argsStack, which holds the LIVE @_ array. When a callee does `my $self = shift`, @_ is emptied — and so is @db::args when caller() queries it afterward. Real Perl preserves the original invocation args regardless. Without this, patterns that rely on @db::args to hold references to sub arguments don't work. Most notably DBIC's TxnScopeGuard double- DESTROY detection (test 18 of t/storage/txn_scope_guard.t): the test installs a __WARN__ handler that iterates caller() frames pushing @db::args into @arg_capture so that the originally-destroyed object stays alive past the current DESTROY. When @arg_capture later clears, a second DESTROY is expected, and that's what the test checks for. Fix: maintain a parallel `originalArgsStack` alongside `argsStack` in RuntimeCode. When pushArgs() is called, snapshot the args into a new RuntimeArray and push that too. popArgs() pops both. caller()'s @db::args population now reads from the snapshot stack via new `getOriginalArgsAt(frame)` helper. Cost: one small RuntimeArray + shallow-copy ArrayList per sub call. Side-benefit: the caller-args-during-DESTROY reproducer now works: sub DESTROY { my $self = shift; my $handler = sub { package DB; caller(1); print "@db::args\n"; # now shows $self }; $handler->(); } Note: the txn_scope_guard.t test 18 still fails because full DESTROY resurrection semantics aren't implemented (keeping a strong ref via @db::args after refCount hits MIN_VALUE doesn't revive the object). That's a separate, deeper refcount issue — but @db::args is no longer the blocker.

Perl 5 emits `Operation "ne": no method found, left argument in overloaded package X, right argument has no overloaded magic` when a blessed overloaded class lacks a `(ne`/`(eq`/`(cmp` method AND does not have `fallback => 1`. jperl silently fell through to stringification-based comparison, bypassing the error. Impact: DBIC t/storage/txn.t line 455 (test 90, "One matching warning only") checks that this error fires — DBIC::_Util catches it in a wrapping eval and upgrades it to a more-informative warning about partial/broken overloading on exception classes. Without the error, that whole code path is skipped and the warning never emits. Fix: - OverloadContext: add `allowsFallbackAutogen()` — true iff the `()` glob has a scalar value that is defined AND truthy (i.e., `fallback => 1` explicitly). - CompareOperators.eq/ne: after trying `(eq`/`(ne` and `(cmp` without success, call `throwIfFallbackDenied` — which throws the Perl-style error if any overloaded side has fallback undef/missing. Test results: - t/storage/txn.t: 90/90 pass (was 89/90). - Reproducer (/tmp/overload_fallback_test.pl) now matches Perl exactly for WorksOverload (only ""), BrokenOverload (self-ref ""), and WithFallback (`""` + fallback=1) cases.

*Foo::bar = $coderef) were invisible to the cooperative refCount mechanism, so the refCount would falsely reach 0 and triggerreleaseCaptures()even while the CODE ref was still alive in the stash.
