Turn $$ into a magical readonly variable that always fetches getpid() instead of caching it
The intent is that by not caching $$, we eliminate one opportunity for bugs:
If one embeds Perl or uses XS and calls fork(3) from C, Perls notion of $$
may go out of sync with what getpid() returns. By always fetching the
value of $$ via getpid(), this bug opportunity is eliminated. The overhead
of always fetching $$ should be small and is likely only used for tempfile

[perl #85026] Deleting the current iterator in void context
Looking at the delete code I see another strange thing. If the delete
of the current iterator is done with the G_DISCARD flag, the corres-
ponding value is not freed and survives until the lazy deleted entry
gets removed on the next hash iteration. This is easily demonstrated
like this:
perl -wle '
sub DESTROY { print "DESTROY" }
%a=(a=>bless[]);
each %a;
delete $a{a};
print "END"
'
This prints:
END
DESTROY
notice the difference with:
perl -wle '
sub DESTROY { print "DESTROY" }
%hash = (a => bless[]);
each %hash;
$dummy = delete $hash{a}; $dummy = 0;
print "END"
'
This prints:
DESTROY
END

&PL_sv_placeholder. It actually simplifies the code a bit except for the
fact that the mro_method_changed from free_hash_ent now has to be done

[perl #85026] deleting elements in a HASH iterator
Internally a perl HASH is an array of single linked chains of entries.
Deleting an element means removing the correct chain entry by replacing
the pointer to the removed entry with a pointer to the next entry and
then freeing the deleted entry
However, if the deleted element is the current entry the deleted entry
is kept after removing it from the chain and the LAZYDEL flag is set.
Only on the next iteration is the element actually removed and the
iterator is set to the next entry.
However, if you delete the current iterator and then delete the next
element in the same chain the "next" pointer of the iterator is not
updated because the iterator is not on the chain anymore. That means
that when the next iteration looks up the iterator next pointer it
will point to the freed memory of the second element.
This patch fixes the places where the delete is done. Drawback is that
you may never forget to do the lazydel fixup in at any place where the
entry chain gets shortened.

freed in sv_clear() can never get re-blessed, and thus its SvSTASH field is

The logic behind this is that once you get to sv_clear(), the HV has a
refcnt of zero, which means either:
* nothing references this, so there's no way to bless it;
* we're in SVf_BREAK territory, in which case something may still
hold a reference to it, but all destructors will have already been
called, so nothing can call bless.

make hv freeing iterative rather than recursive
make sv_clear() iteratively free the elements of a hash, rather than
recursing. This stops freeing deeply nested hash of hash structures from
blowing the stack.
This commit is relatively straightfoward, now that
a) the infrastruure is already in place in sv_clear to iteratively
free AVs;
b) the long sequence of commits leading up to this has provided us with
the hfree_next_entry() function, which returns just the next sv in the
hash that needs freeing.
When starting to free a new hash, we have to save the old value of iter_sv
somewhere; we do this by sticking it in the unused SvSTASH slot of the HV.
This slot shouldn't get messed with, since, but this time we've already
called the destructor on this object, and we should have a refcount of
zero, so no destructor should be able to see us to rebless us.
Ideally we'd like to be able to save the old index into HvARRAY when
freeing a new HV, but I couldn't think of anywhere to hide it.

add hfree_next_entry(), hv_free_ent_ret()
Move body of hfreeentries()' central loop into a new function,
hfree_next_entry(); leaving hfreeentries() as a simple loop that calls
hfree_next_entry() until there are no entries left.
This will in future allow sv_clear() to free a hash iteratively rather
than recursively.
Similarly, turn hv_free_ent() into a thin wrapper around a new function,
hv_free_ent_ret(), which doesn't free HeVAL(), but rather just returns the
SV instead.

remove 'hfreeentries failed to free hash' panic
Currently perl attempts to clear a hash 100 times before panicking.
So for example, if a naughty destructor keeps adding things back into the
hash, this will eventually panic.
Note that this can usually only occur with %h=() or undef(%h), since
when freeing a hash, there's usually no reference to the hash that a
destructor can use to mess with the hash.
Remove this limit (so it may potentially loop forever).
My reasoning is that (a) if the user wants to keep adding things back into
the hash, who are we to stop her? (b) as part of of the process of making
sv_clear() non-recursive when freeing hashes, I'm trying to reduce the
amount of state that must be maintained between each iteration.
Note that arrays currently don't have a limit.

hv_free_ent: free SV as last action
Move the freeing of the SV from near the beginning to the end of
hv_free_ent(); i.e. free the HE before the SV. Ideally, this should cause
no change in behaviour, but will make using an iterative HV freeing
scheme easier.

S_hfreeentries: collapse two loops
S_hfreeentries() has two nested infinite loops: the inner one
does one sweep through all buckets, freeing all entries in each bucket;
the outer loop repeats the process if new keys have been added in the
meantime.
Collapse these two into a single 'while (keys) {}' loop.
Should be functionally the same, but simpler.

hfreeentries zeros HvARRAY now, so skip manual
Formerly, hv_clear() and hv_undef() zeroed the contents of
HvARRAY after calling hfreeentries(), but that sub now zeroes
each elements as a by-product of its deleting algorithm.
So we can skip the Zero().

make hash emptying non-atomic
Currently, when empting a hash of its elements (e.g. via
undef(%h), or %h=()), HvARRAY field is temporarily zeroed, so that
any destructors called on the freed elements see an empty hash.
Change this so that they see any remaining elements. Thus,
%h=() becomes more like C<delete $h{$_} for keys %h>.
The atomic behaviour was introduced (by me) in 2003 with commit
2f86008e34264, to fix RT #3096. This concerned element destructors
that messed with the hash being undeffed, causing unrefed var errors
and the like.
At the time, simply setting HvARRAY to null for the duration seemed like a
simple fix. However, it didn't take account of destructors adding new
elements to the list, thus re-creating HvARRAY. This was subsequently
fixed. Then, the HvAUX structure was invented, which meant that optional
hash fields were hidden away at the end of HvARRAY. This meant that
hfreeentries() acquired a whole bunch of extra code to copy these fields
around between the original HvARRAY and the new HvARRAY and then back
again, and temporarily squirrelling the backref array in backref magic
rather than in HvAUX.
In short, hfreeentries() became a 200 line sprawling mess.
This commit reduces it back to 70, and makes everything conceptually
simpler.
It does however change user-level visible behaviour (back to pre-2003),
but note that the new behaviour now matches the behaviour that arrays have
always had (i.e. destructors see a partially-emptied array).
Note that backref magic for HVs is now always stored in HvAUX

unify PERL_HASH and PERL_HASH_INTERNAL
Those two macros expand into two large, almost identical chunks of code.
The only difference between the two is the source of the hash seed.
So parameterize this into a new PERL_HASH_INTERNAL_() macro.
Also, there are a couple of places in hv.c that do the rough equivalent of
if (HvREHASH(hv))
key = PERL_HASH_INTERNAL(...)
else
key = PERL_HASH(...)
which incorporates two complete macro expansions into the code.
Reorganise them to be
key = PERL_HASH_INTERNAL_(..., HvREHASH(hv))

[perl #90122] Make h2ph correctly search gcc include directories
System header conversion with "h2ph -a" is currently broken on Ubuntu
Natty and Oneiric (unless the gcc-multilib package is installed for
backward compatibility), resulting in things like
# perl -e 'require "syscall.ph"'
Can't locate asm/unistd.ph in @INC [...]
This happens because Ubuntu has switched to a 'multiarch' setup, see
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec> for details.
The asm subdirectory isn't in $Config{usrinc} anymore: /usr/include/asm
is now /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm. (The third component of the
new path varies with the actual architecture.)
gcc --print-search-dirs doesn't really tell anything about where gcc
looks for the include directories, it was just used to find the gcc
internal directory prefix.
Parse the output of "gcc -v -E" instead, and append $Config{usrinc}
for safety. Duplicates shouldn't matter.
The h2ph "-a" switch isn't currently tested automatically, and that
seems nontrivial to do portably. Manual testing was done with
# mkdir ttt
# ./perl -Ilib ./utils/h2ph -a -d $(pwd)/ttt syscall.h
The gcc invocation has been tested to work with gcc 4.6, 4.1, and 3.3.
