Don’t let method-BLOCK read beyond the stack

$ ./perl -Ilib -e 'use B::Deparse; warn for "foo", new{}'
Can't call method "new" without a package or object reference at -e line 1.
Now, why did adding "foo" there change the error message? Because
new{} looks one past the end of the stack. Adding "foo" just caused
it to look at the next dropping left behind by B::Deparse, which just
happened to be some non-ref that was not recognised as a package name.
In fact, I can even do this to control what value it picks up:
$ ./perl -Ilib -e '@_ = ("foo"); new{}'
Can't locate object method "new" via package "foo" (perhaps you forgot to load "foo"?) at -e line 1.
And then it calls a method with literally no arguments in @_:
$ ./perl -Ilib -we 'use B::Deparse; @_ = "B::Deparse"; warn new{}'
Use of uninitialized value $class in bless at lib/B/Deparse.pm line 569.
Explicit blessing to '' (assuming package main) at lib/B/Deparse.pm line 569.
Can't locate object method "init" via package "main" at lib/B/Deparse.pm line 588.
And the ultimate:
$ ./perl -Ilib -we 'for(1..1000000) {eval " warn +(1)x$_, new{}"}'
Bus error
$ ./perl -Ilib -we 'for(866..1018) { eval { warn +(1)x$_, new{} }}'
Bus error
OK, that’s enough fun.
With this commit, I’m making it an error to call a method this way
with no arguments. I’m using the ‘without a package or object refer-

there isn’t any undefined value; there’s nothing at all.

Make lvalue subs copy returned PADTMPs in rvalue cx

$ ./perl -Ilib -e '@UNIVERSAL::ISA = CORE; print "just another "->ucfirst, "perl hacker,\n"->ucfirst'
Perl hacker,
Perl hacker,
This happened because coresubs use leavesublv, to avoid copying the
return value wastefully.
But since this is exactly the same ucfirst op being called each time
(the one in &CORE::ucfirst’s op tree), and since ucfirst uses TARG, we
end up with the same scalar.
We have the same problem with lvalue subs:
$ ./perl -Ilib -e 'sub UNIVERSAL::ucfirst :lvalue { ucfirst $_[0] } print "just another "->ucfirst, "perl hacker,\n"->ucfirst'
Perl hacker,
Perl hacker,
(This is not a regression, as 5.14 gave ‘Can't modify ucfirst in
lvalue subroutine return’.)
So ‘fixing’ coresubs would not be a solution, but a workaround.
The solution therefore is for leavesublv to copy PADTMPs in
rvalue context.
Commit
80422e24c fixed this for potential lvalue list context (i.e.,
for(lvsub()) {...}), but it wasn’t sufficient.

This comment seems to imply that this code is just working around a
problem in gv.c, which we could simply correct there. I’ve already
tried making the quoted code in gv.c handle *^H without a hash, but it
doesn’t actually solve the problem. The real problem is that rv2hv

Also, quoting a piece of code that occurs elsewhere is just asking for

cure in the next week.

Revert fixes for [rt.cpan.org #61577]
These changes introduced some test failures on AIX and other platforms,
and rather than dig around for more failing platforms during the RCx
period, we will revert this to reapply later when it is more tested.

In the Linux hints, invoke gcc with LANG and LC_ALL set to "C".
The output of gcc -print-search-dirs is subject to localisation, which means
that the literal text "libraries" will not be present if the user has a
non-English locale, and we won't determine the correct path for libraries
such as -lm, breaking the build. Problem diagnosed by Alexander Hartmaier.

Don't test that errno is still 0 after POSIX::f?pathconf
I think the best we can do with respect to the f?pathconf tests is to
make sure that the perl call doesn't die, and that the system call
doesn't fail. And it's arguable we should only be testing the former.
But since we've been testing more that this anyway, it's probably safe
to test both.
With respect to the sysconf call, I think we shouldn't test more than
that perl doesn't die. Any further testing would require different
tests based the argument being passed in. Before doing that, it's
probably worth considering the purpose of the tests. I don't think we
really want to test that POSIX has been implemented correctly, only that
our layer over it is correctly implemented.
This fixes RT #112866.
