RT 8857: premature free in local of tied element
[The original bug report concerned local($_) remained tied, but while
looking at it, Nicholas found some related code that popped up premature
free errors. This commit fixes the freeing issue rather than the issue of
the original bug report ]
Background:
local $a[0]
does, approximately:
svp = av_fetch(av);
SAVE(av,*svp);
sv = newSV();
*svp = sv;
This used to leak when av was tied, as the new sv only got embedded in
*svp, which for tied arrays is a temporary placeholder rather than
somewhere within AvARRAY. This leak was fixed in 2002 by adding the
following:
if (SvTIED_mg(sv, PERL_MAGIC_tiedelem))
sv_2mortal(sv);
which worked, except for the following:
sub f { local $_[0] }
f($_) for ($tied[0]);
Here, @_ is a real array not a tied one, yet its first element is a
PERL_MAGIC_tiedelem which trigged the test above. So the sv got
mortalised *and* stored in the array, so got freed twice. The fix is
to test the *array/hash* for tied-ness rather than the element.
David Mitchell [Sun, 11 Apr 2010 14:23:17 +0000]

Add an sv_count() function to XS::APItest to allow access to PL_sv_count,

fix RT 23810: eval and tied methods
Something like the following ended up corrupted:
sub FETCH { eval 'BEGIN{syntax err}' }
The croak on error popped back the context stack etc to the EVAL pushed by
entereval, but the corresponding JUMPENV_PUSH(3) unwound all the way to the
outer perl_run, losing all the mg_get() related parts of the C stack.
It turns out that the run-time parts of pp_entereval were protected with
a new JUMPENV level, but the compile-time parts weren't. Add this.

Explicitly set the location of cpanp-run-perl when under PERL_CORE
CPANPLUS::Config checks 3 specific scenarios first
when looking for cpanp-run-perl: parallel to cpanp,
parallel to CPANPLUS.pm, or installed into a custom
prefix like /tmp/foo. Only *THEN* does it check the
the path.
If the perl core is extracted to a directory that has
cpanp-run-perl installed the same amount of 'uplevels'
as the /tmp/foo prefix, we'll pull in the wrong script
by accident.
Since we set the path to cpanp-run-perl explicitily
at the top of this script, it's best to update the config
ourselves with a path lookup, rather than rely on its
heuristics. Thanks to David Wheeler, Josh Jore and Vincent
Pit for helping to track this down.

PL_defoutgv isn't always a GV.
Nasty code like the following results in PL_defoutgv not pointing
to a valid GV:
my $x = *STDERR; select($x); $x = 1;
This causes all sorts of SEGVs when PL_defoutgv is subsequently accessed,
because most code assumes that it has a valid gv_gp pointer. It also
turns out that PL_defoutgv is under-tested; for example, temporarily
hacking pp_close to make an arg-less close() croak didn't cause any
minitest failures.
Add a new test file that does some basic testing of a bad PL_defoutgv,
and fix all the obvious badness in accessing it.
This also fixes #20727, which although ostensibly a tie bug, was due to
PL_defoutgv pointing to a tiedelem scalar, and fun like that described
above happening.

RT #67962: $1 treated as tainted in untainted match
Fix the issue in the following:
use re 'taint';
$tainted =~ /(...)/;
# $1 now correctly tainted
$untainted =~ s/(...)/$1/;
# $untainted now incorrectly tainted
The problem stems from when $1 is updated.
pp_substcont, which is called after the replacement expression has been
evaluated, checks the returned expression for taintedness, and if so,
taints the variable being substituted. For a substitution like
s/(...)/x$1/ this works fine: the expression "x".$1 causes $1's get magic
to be called, which sets $1 based on the recent match, and is marked as
not tainted. Thus the returned expression is untainted. In the variant
s/(...)/$1/, the returned value on the stack is $1 itself, and its get
magic hasn't been called yet. So it still has the tainted flag from the
previous pattern.
The solution is to mg_get the returned expression *before* testing for
taintedness.
