Subject: Internals::SvREFCNT() now treats reference counts as unsigned
X-Git-Tag: accepted/trunk/20130322.191538~2145
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=691f175822a5edda9dc7ba243d6c774254b9e225;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fperl.git

Internals::SvREFCNT() now treats reference counts as unsigned

Previously setting a large (negative in 32-bit signed) reference count
would be returned as a positive number on 64-bit builds and negative
on 32-bit builds.
