Save the popped cx->blk_eval.old_namesv before calling LEAVE
It's fine to still refer to cx members between POPEVAL and LEAVE, but there
are a few places where the namesv is read after LEAVE happens. This is bad
because LEAVE can call arbitrary code ; in particular, it can call a destructor
that does call_sv(cv, G_EVAL), in which case the old eval context cx gets
overwritten by the new one and cx->blk_eval.old_namesv points to garbage.

Globs that are in symbol table can be un-globbed
If a symbol table entry is undefined when a glob is assigned into it, it
gets a FAKE flag which makes it possible to be downgraded when non-glob
is subsequently assigned into it. It doesn't really matter, until we
decide to localize it -- it wouldn't be possible to restore its GP upon
context return if it changed type, therefore we must not do that.
This patch turns off FAKE flag when localizing a GV and restores it when
the context is left. A test case is included.

Note in delta an incompatibility for \cX
X in "\cX" must now be ASCII. Previously, it could be anything, but led

Karl Williamson [Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:16:50 +0000]
Deal with "\c{", and its kin
make regen is needed
This patch forbids non-ascii following the "\c". It also terminates for
"\c{" with a message to contact p5p if there is need for continuing its
current definition. And if the character following the "\c" causes the
result to not be a control character, a warning is issued. This is
currently 'deprecated', which by default is turned on. This can easily
be changed later.
This patch is the initial patch. It does not do any fancy showing the
context where the problematic construct occurs. This can be added
later.
It gathers the 3 occurrences of evaluating \c and puts them in one
common routine.

Make sure isCNTRL and isASCII work on signed chars
Prior to this patch, there is a potential bug in these two macros, in

interpreted as a number above the ASCII range.

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.

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.

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.

follow up fix for
fd69380d5d5b95ef16e2521cf4251b34ee0ce151
The original fix for tied elements losing magic had a bug that was masked
by a bool casting issue. Once the casting was fixed, the bug surfaced:
elements of @+ lost their values when returned from a sub. By removing the
TEMP flag from the regdatum PVLV, we force it to be copied when returned.
