regcomp.c: Add a constant 0 element before inversion lists
This commit is the first step to separating the header from the body of
inversion lists. Doing so will allow the compiled-in inversion lists to
be fully read-only.
To invert an inversion list, one simply unshifts a 0 to the front of it
if one is not there, and shifts off the 0 if it does have one.
The current data structure reserves an element at the beginning of each
inversion list that is either 0 or 1. If 0, it means the inversion list
begins there; if 1, it means the inversion list starts at the next
element. Inverting involves flipping this bit.
This commit changes the structure so that there is an additional element
just after the element that flips. This new element is always 0, and
the flipping element now says whether the inversion list begins at the
constant 0 element, or the one after that.
Doing this allows the flipping element to be separated in later commits
from the body of the inversion list, which will always begin with the
constant 0 element. That means that the body of the inversion list can
be const.

Very few PAD[HA]Vs are "LVALUE": branch predictor hints
In a nutshell, very few PADHV and PADAV OPs are executed that have
the OPpLVAL_INTRO flag set. To wit, "my %h" does whereas "$h{foo}" and
similar (also "$h{foo} = 1") do not. Also, traditional lexicals greatly
outnumber state variables, so pessimize "state" slightly.
This was determined with a nifty new trick. With a Perl compiled with
-DPERL_TRACE_OPS, we get a summary of all executed op counts by type at
the end of the program execution. The above was figured out (naively) by
adding the following:

Also add Encode's sub-modules to known_extensions when building statically.
There is code in Configure to treat Encode specially when it is specified as
a statically linked extension. By default, Encode builds separated shared
objects for each of its subdirectories. This works well with DynaLoader,
and the top level perl Makefile doesn't even notice this, because it doesn't
have to list these libraries as things it links with at compile time.
For a static link, Encode builds a separate *.a file for each of its
subdirectories. The top level Makefile *does* need to know about these, as
a static link requires them all to be listed. Hence the work-around is to
treat Encode as a set of nested modules if linked statically.
We can't do this in Makefile.SH because the various Encode submodules are
installed as separate *.a files in the tree, and so need to continue to be
treated as distinct modules in case ExtUtils::MakeMaker is asked to (re)link
a static perl with an additional extension.
I suspect that the most elegant fix would be to tweak Encode's top level
Makefile.PL to link everything into one *.a if it is building statically.

Avoid needless refcount and mortialization on pp_anonhash
pp_anonhash can be used to construct both bare hashes and hashrefs. In
the hashref case, it used to create an HV and mortalize it. Then it went
through the parameters on the stack and copied them into the hashref.
This can throw exceptions which would make the HV leak if it hadn't been
mortalized.
After potentially copying the arguments, pp_anonhash would then in the
hashREF case increment the refcount on the HV *again*, create an RV for
the HV, and mortalize that RV before pushing it on the stack.
Instead, we can get away with constructing the HV and only mortalizing
it if there's no mortalizable ref to clean up if there's an exception.
This should remove a fair fraction of work in the common case of empty {}
hash ref construction.

Fix regex seqfault 5.18 regression
This segfault is a result of an optimization that can leave the
compilation in an inconsistent state.
/f{0}/
doesn't match anything, and hence should be removable from the regex for
all f. However,
qr{(?&foo){0}(?<foo>)}
caused a segfault. What was happening prior to this commit is that
(?&foo) refers to a named capture group further along in the regex.
The "{0}" caused the "(?&foo)" to be discarded prior to setting up the
pointers between the two related subexpressions; a segfault follows.
This commit removes the optimization, and should be suitable for a
maintenance release.
One might think that no one would be writing code like this, but this
example was distilled from machine-generated code in Regexp::Grammars.
Perhaps this optimization can be done, but the location I chose for
checking it was during parsing, which turns out to be premature. It
would be better to do it in the optimization phase of regex compilation.
Another option would be to retain it where it was, but for it to operate
only on a limited set of nodes, such as EXACTish, which would have no
unintended consequences. But that is for looking at in the future; the

op.c: Suppress compiler warning
Sorry, commit
08aff5359 was not quite ready and I pushed it too soon.
The purpose of the if block that it removed was to suppress a warn-
ing about an unused variable, but it was a very strange way of accom-
plishing that.
We have a much simpler way that takes only one line and expresses its
intent clearly.

Reinstate UTF8f
This format string allows char*s to be interpolated with the
utf8ness and length specified as well, avoiding the need to create
extra SVs:
Perl_croak(aTHX_ "Couldn't twiggle the twoggle in \"%"UTF8f"\"",
UTF8fARG(is_utf8, len, s));
This is the second attempt.
I screwed up in commits
1c8b67b38f0a5 and
b3e714770ee1 because
I didn’t really understand how varargs functions receive their
arguments.
They are like structs, in that different members can be different
sizes. So therefore both ends--the caller and the called--*must* get
the casts right, or the data will be corrupted.
The main mistake I made was to use %u in the format for the first
argument and then retrieve it as UV (a simple typo, I meant unsigned
int or U32--I don’t remember).
To be on the safe side, I added a UTF8fARG macro (after SVfARG), which
(unlike SVfARG) takes three arguments and casts them explicitly, mak-
ing it much harder to get this wrong at call sites.

make sure the prototype actually matches
because:
a) I think it better demonstrates the fix, the following failed without
the patch:
./perl -Ilib -le 'my $proto = "\x{30cd}"; eval "sub f($proto) {}"; print prototype(\&f); print prototype(\&f) eq $proto'
b) I can envision bugs that might preserve UTF-8 but mis-manage the content

pad.c, S_cv_clone: Maintain the utf8-ness of the cloned cv
Because of a missing SvUTF8_on() in cv_clone(), these two were different:
use utf8;
eval " sub foo ($;\x{30cd});"
eval "my sub foo ($;\x{30cd});"
Because the lexical version would lose the UTF8 flag in the
prototype.

[perl #117535, #76910] Fix bogus ambiguity warnings
‘Ambiguous use of * resolved as operator *’: This message can occur in
cases where there is no multiplication operator, so what it is saying
is completely wrong.
When the lexer parses a bareword, it looks at the previous character
and warns if it happens to match /[*%&]/, so foo**bar and foo&&bar
result in this warning, as does print $%foo.
The purpose of the code is to catch *bar *bar or &black &sheep.
To avoid false positives, when emitting one of the three operators
* % & the lexer can record that fact, so when it sees a bareword pre-
ceded by one of those three characters, instead of guessing that the
infix operator was used, it will *know*.
The test cases added also trigger ‘Bareword found where operator
expected’. I don’t know whether that should change, but at least the
current behaviour is tested, so we will know when it does change.

Put sort arguments in lvalue context
Since $a and $b are aliased to the actual scalars being sorted, and
since they can be modified, the list of items needs to be in lvalue
context, like the arguments to grep. Otherwise implementation
details leak through, in that sort{$a=1} $_,... will modify $_, but
sort{$a=1} $#_,... will fail to modify $#_.
The way I have written the loop and if() condition (the if inside the
loop) may seem odd and inefficient, but the next commit will take
advantage of that.
