PUSHs(TARG); /* avoid SvSETMAGIC here */
Calling set-magic when substr returns an lvalue will cause its argu-
ment to be stringified even if the lvalue is not assigned to. That’s
why set-magic has to be avoided.
But the result is that utf8 caches (stored in magic) on TARG are not
reset properly.
Since substr lvalues now follow a different code path (and do not use
TARG at all), it’s perfectly safe to call set-magic at this point.
It’s also the right thing to do in case of other types of magic that
might get attached to TARG.

Fix up \cX for 5.14
Throughout 5.13 there was temporary code to deprecate and forbid
certain values of X following a \c in qq strings. This patch fixes
this to the final 5.14 semantics.
These are:
1) a utf8 non-ASCII character will croak. This is the same
behavior as pre-5.13, but it gives a correct error message, rather than
the malformed utf8 message previously.
2) \c{ and \cX where X is above ASCII will generate a deprecated
message. The intent is to remove these capabilities in 5.16. The
original agreement was to croak on above ASCII, but that does violate
our stability policy, so I'm deprecating it instead.
3) A non-deprecated warning is generated for all other \cX; this is the
same as throughout the 5.13 series.

[perl #82854] utf8, $SIG{__DIE__}, syntax errors and Carp
If a syntax error has occurred, module loading causes the ‘BEGIN not
safe after errors’ error.
As of perl 5.12.0 (commit
7d0994e05, actually), error messages men-
tioning variable names that originate from ‘use utf8’ scopes and are
passed to __DIE__ handlers correctly have the UTF8 flag turned on, so
that a variable named $ġ will actually cause the error message to con-
tain ‘$ġ’, rather than ‘$Ä¡’. (As a side effect, even if the variable
does not contain non-ASCII characters, the error message still gets
the UTF8 flag turned on.)
Carp was using a \d in a regular expression against the error message.
\d loads Unicode tables if the LHS has the UTF8 flag turned on.
This means that this snippet:
use utf8;
use strict;
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
$c;
dies with ‘BEGIN not safe...’, because the error message that triggers
it is ‘Global symbol "$c" requires explicit package name’, it has the
UTF8 flag turned on, CGI::Carp passes it to Carp.pm, Carp tries to do
a /\d/ match against it and \d tries to load Unicode tables, dying
with ‘BEGIN not safe...‘.
This commit just changes the \d in Carp.pm to [0-9], since that is
what was intended anyway.

many string evals cause eventual scope issues
[perl #83364]. PL_cop_seqmax is U32 but PAD_MAX was defined as
I32_MAX. Once PL_cop_seqmax got above 2 billion it would start to appear
spuriosuly as if PL_cop_seqmax > PAD_MAX, so the scope of lexical vars in
evals etc went awry.
Also replaces a use of ~0 with PAD_MAX, which shouldn't change anything,
but is just tidier.

Silence compile warnings before uni tables built
The recent move of Unicode folding to the compilation phase caused
spurious warnings during the miniperl build phase of Perl itself before
the Unicode tables get built. Before the tables are built, Perl is
unable to know about the Unicode semantics (it has ASCII/Latin1
hard-coded in), but was still trying to access the tables. Now, it
checks and if the tables aren't present uses just the hard-coded
ASCII/Latin1 semantics.

Major revision of perlhack and perlrepository
The existing perlhack is huge and takes a long time to get to key
information like "how to submit a patch". It also contains a massive
amount of (very useful) detail on the Perl interpreter, debugging,
portability issues, and so on.
Some parts of perlhack are just obsolete. For example, Larry really
isn't deeply involved on p5p any more.
Meanwhile, perlrepository _also_ contains a lot of useful information
on patching Perl, as well as a small git tutorial focused on working
with the Perl repository.
Taken together, the two documents overlap and conflict with each other.
This commit does the following:
== Reconcile conflicts and overlaps, remove obsolete information
I've separated out distinct pieces of information and organized them
into individual pod files. More on that below. I've also removed anything
that was obviously out of date.
== Make it easier for casual contributors to contribute.
The perlhack document now gets to "how to make a patch" very quickly. My
assumption is that most contributors to Perl are doing something small,
like fixing pod, adding a test, etc.
The documentation aimed at people doing more extensive hacking is still
there, but it's been moved so that it comes at the end of the document
or has been moved to another document.
I've made an effort to cross-reference the various documents so that
nothing gets lost.
== Get to the point
The perlhack document had a lot of discussion of general Perl culture.
I've trimmed a lot of this and moved some of it so it comes later.
== Per-file summary
=== perlrepository.pod
This is gone. Some of its content is now in perlhack. This includes
the bits on writing good commit messages, how (and where) to submit a
patch, etc.
The rest is now called perlgit, and is _only_ a git how-to.
=== perlhack.pod
This has been cut down quite a bit.
I changed the opening so it starts with a quick guide to submitting
small patches.
The document covers bug reporting, the p5p list, a quick how-to on
getting the source (including git, gitweb, and rsync), and a lot of
general information on patching perl and running tests.
Much of this material was already present, but I've done a fair amount
of editing for modernization and clarity.
Most of the information specific to C-level hacking has been moved to
other documents.
=== perlsource.pod
This is a guide to the Perl source tree. Most of the content was extracted
from perlhack. I've edited existing content and added details on some
parts of the tree that weren't covered.
=== perlinterp.pod
This is a tour of the Perl interpreter source and a walkthrough of
how it works that originally lived in perlhack. This has received very
little editing.
=== perlhacktut.pod
This is a walkthrough of creating a sample patch to the C core code that
originally lived in perlhack. This has received very little editing.
=== perlhacktips.pod
The perlhack document contained a lot of useful information on low-level
hacking details like debugging, compilation issues, portability, etc.
This has received very little editing.
I did remove some bits on ancient stuff related to Tru64 and IRIX.

Actually generate full failure diagnostics in checkErrs() in B's OptreeCheck,
3857d07c85882fa8 used if() where unless() would have been correct. However, I
didn't spot this because
a: none of the tests fail so none are trying to generate diagnostics
b: the code as written is silent if there are no errors
Hence make the code be called unconditionally, which simplifies things.
Remove the vestigial forced fail() if $gOpts{fail} is true.

In B's OptreeCheck, always report inconsistent errors as a failed test.
Previously there were 3 different options, and the default was to print a

tests. As this means that most calls to checkOptree() now make two tests
rather than one, update many of the test scripts' plans.
