David Golden [Sun, 25 Apr 2010 23:51:07 +0000]
fix version::is_strict/is_lax exporting
These were being exported with a wrapper that treated them as method
calls, which causes them to fail. They are just functions, are
documented as such, and should never be subclassed, so this patch
just exports them directly as functions without the wrapper.

Fix utf8::is_utf8 to respect GMAGIC (e.g. $1)
David Mitchell [Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:28:41 +0000]
avoid multiple FETCHes
The fix
2d961f6deff7 for RT #5475 included a mechanism for the early
calling of get magic on something like
$tied[0];
so that even though the element is used in void context, we still call
FETCH. Some people seem to rely on this.
However, the call to mg_get() didn't distinguish between a tiedelem
member retrieved from a tied array/hash, and a tiedscalar element
retrieved from a plain array/hash. In the latter case, the S_GSKIP
protection mechanism doesn't apply and a simple $foo = $h{tiedelem}
generated two calls to FETCH.
Fix this by only calling mg_get() on the element if it came from a *tied*
array/hash.
A side-effect of this fix is that the following no longer calls FETCH:
my @plain_array;
tie $plain_array[0], ....; # element 0 is now a tied scalar
$plain_array[0]; # void context: no longer calls FETCH.
This required one test in op/tie.t to be fixed up, but in general I think
this is a reasonable compromise.

Bump versions of charnames and Unicode::UCD after last patches

Adapt plan after last patch
Karl Williamson [Fri, 16 Apr 2010 04:12:32 +0000]
PATCH [perl #72624] charnames::viacode(0) returns undef
The viacode() function contained the code from the _getcode() function from
Unicode::UCD, unchanged. However, the rest of viacode() requires that
the result be specially formatted to do a string match with leading
zeros inserted to bring the length up to 4 if less than that. The
original function only needs to get the number right, as a numerical
comparison is done, so it doesn't do this. This showed up with calling
viacode with 0, but the bug also affected any input that looked like a
hex number, or a U+ number, such as 'BEE' or 'U+EF'. These need to be
massaged into '0BEE' and '00EF' for the pattern match later in the
routine to succeed.
The patch also adds a test case to Unicode::UCD to verify that it really
does work ok on 0.

PATCH: memory leak introduced in 5.12.0
There is a small possibility of a memory leak in toke.c when there is a
deprecated character in the name in a \N{...} construct, and the Perl is
embedded or something like that so that memory isn't freed up when it
exits. This patch avoids the creation of a new scalar, and gives a
better error message besides.

David Mitchell [Sat, 24 Apr 2010 23:56:32 +0000]
add Perl_magic_methcall
Add a new function that wraps the setup needed to call a magic method like
FETCH (the existing S_magic_methcall function has been renamed
S_magic_methcall1).
There is one functional change, done mainly to allow for a single clean
wrapper function, and that is that the method calls are no longer wrapped
with SAVETMPS/FREETMPS. Previously only about half of them had this, so
some relied on the caller to free, some didn't. At least we're consistent
now. Doing it this way is necessary because otherwise magic_methcall()
can't return an SV (eg for POP) because it'll be a temp and get freed by
FREETMPS before it gets returned. So you'd have to copy everything, which
would slow things down.

The original fix for tied elements losing magic had a bug that was masked
