Fix bug 50496 -- regcomp.c=~s/lastcloseparen/lastparen/g
-- lastcloseparen is literally the index of the last paren closed
-- lastparen is index of the highest index paren that has been closed.
In nested parens, they will be completely different.
'ab'=~/(a(b))/ will have: lastparen = 2, lastcloseparen = 1
'ab'=~/(a)(b)/ will have: lastparen = lastcloseparen = 2

Nicholas Clark [Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:27:55 +0000]
Shell patterns are subject to tilde expansion. So the case statement
in the filexp script (written out by Configure) for expanding ~ and
~/* has never worked. It's always been relying on the /bin/csh glob
for the ~* case. Few people ever noticed because one has to be
building to one's home directory on a system with no csh installed.
This is a bug from Perl 1.0's Configure!

assert() that every NN argument is not NULL. Otherwise we have the
ability to create landmines that will explode under someone in the
future when they upgrade their compiler to one with better
optimisation. We've already done this at least twice.
(Yes, some of the assertions are after code that would already have
SEGVd because it already deferences a pointer, but they are put in
to make it easier to automate checking that each and every case is
covered.)

Micro-optimise the order of the context types. [Because I can :-)]
Here saves 72 bytes in pp_ctl.o. Small, but in the right direction.

Recode all the old variable-like substitutions with the generic line

Produce a more generic expectation management system, and use it to
encode the 5.8.x vs 5.10/5.11 differences.
Provide general purpose TODOs for both the intial tests and Gerard's
"is it unchanged on repeat?" test.

Change 27244 wasn't quite correct. XSUB is dumped as 0x0, not 0.

Remove the _ prototype, as Maintainers is used by makemeta, and in turn
that has to be run with the newly built perl. Which can be 5.8.x.
