Fix unescaped first character in tovmsspec.
Passing a path to int_tovmsspec that contained an "extended"
character as the first character when converting a Unix filespec
to VMS format skipped escaping that character, but only when the
path spec had no directory component. The character that didn't
get escaped could then be passed to a native service that choked
or incorrectly processed it. For example ' foo.txt' remained,
after translation, ' foo.txt', but parsing that as a native spec
would squeeze out the leading space.
So we now make sure we don't eat the first character of the
filename component while processing the directory component and
also handle escaping the very first character. In the example
of ' foo.txt', it now gets correctly translated to '^_foo.txt'.

Fix string corruption with (??{}) and PERL_NO_COW
Commit
9ffd39ab75, which allowed PADTMPs’ string buffers to be stolen,
caused "$a$b" =~ /(??{})/ to cause string corruption with match varia-
bles on some systems, because the buffer from "$a$b"’s return value
was being stolen when ‘copied’ into a new $_ for the code block.
The string copy necessary for $& and $1 to work would happen only
after the code block’s $_ had been freed, and consequently after the
string buffer had been freed.
Whether this would cause observable buggy behaviour (as opposed to
things only memory tools like valgrind would catch) depended on
whether the malloc implementation would modify the string immediately
when freeing it.
Dave Mitchell observed in <
20131218113448.GN2490@iabyn.com> that tests
were failing under -DPERL_NO_COW. The added test will also fail (for
me at least) under copy-on-write, because the string is long enough to
favour swiping the buffer. (It happens for me only on Linux, not Dar-
win, incidentally.)
Copying the string with _nosteal fixes the problem.

[perl #72406] Bad read with do{} until CONST
According to the original bug report, ‘do{print("foobar");}until(1)}’
crashes. In recent perls it doesn’t, partly because of the slab allo-
cator, partly because such crashes are naturally fleeting.
‘foo while bar’ and ‘foo until bar’ make their way through newLOOPOP,
which then usually calls S_new_logop, to create and AND or OR op with
special pointers that turn it into a loop.
Because S_new_logop knows about folding ‘$x if 1’ down to a simple $x,
and because ‘do{foo()} while 0’ should still execute the do block,
newLOOPOP skips the call to S_new_logop in that case.
Hence, it assumes that if it has seen a do block on its lhs, then
S_new_logop must return an AND or OR op.
‘foo until bar’ is actually changed early on (in perly.y) to ‘foo
while !bar’, before it reaches newLOOPOP. Constant folding usually
folds !1 down to a simple ""/0 (actually &PL_sv_no), so newLOOPOP sees
‘foo while 0’ for ‘foo until 1’.
If constant folding fails (e.g., because the parser has seen an
unmatched } and constant folding is skipped after such errors), then
newLOOPOP will see the unfolded !1.
S_new_logop has a special optimisation that changes ‘!foo && bar’ to
‘foo || bar’, etc.
That optimisation allows it to ‘see through’ the unoptimised !1 (a NOT
with a CONST kid) and get to the constant, folding the resulting op
and returning something that newLOOPOP is not expecting to be folded.
In the case of ‘do{print("foobar");}until(1)}’, it optimises the do
block away, which is wrong.
So newLOOPOP reads past the end of the op in this line:
o->op_next = ((LOGOP*)cUNOPo->op_first)->op_other;
because it is treating an SVOP as a LOGOP.
I can trigger this condition by defeating constant folding some other
way. Croaking in boolean overloading, but just the first time, will
do that, and crashes with blead:
{ package o; use overload bool => sub { die unless $::ok++; return 1 } }
use constant OK => bless [], o::;
do{print("foobar");}until OK;
__END__
Bus error: 10
My reading of the source code leads me to believe that this bad read
has been present since perl 5.000. But back then it was not possible
to trigger it with this particular test case involving fatal overload-
ing (as of
b7f7fd0bb it seems*), but ‘do{print("foobar");}until(1)}’
would have triggered it.

Optimise out PUSHMARK/RETURN if return is the last statement in a sub.
This makes:
sub baz { return $cat; }
Behave like:
sub baz { $cat; }
Which is notably faster.

cflags.SH: Fix a typo, cflags should be ccflags
This went undetected for the longest time since most flags are
irrelevant at this point, but is vital if you are using --sysroot.

pod/perlhacktips: Further info on glibc bug
Commit
6bfe0388956736a32b874cc5e31cc6437260b227 prompted me to do some
more digging. The bug in glibc has apparently been fixed in 2.17.

perlfunc: clarify subroutine value of caller()
The docs don't actually say what the fourth value returned by caller()
is; in particular, the $subroutine value is a bit confusing because
it's the sub called by the call site, not the sub containing the call
site. [perl #120696].

WinCE makefile will now hypothetically build git_version.h
The dependency on $(CONFIGPM) is for git_version.h to exist early enough
to be copied to the CORE dir. In real life, git_version.h still is built
by a Desktop build since WinCE doesn't yet support being built with a
system Perl. This commit is a step in getting WinCE to build without
needing a Desktop build first and for better integration with Castaway's
Cross changes in the future. The changes in this commit were tested with
other unpublished changes that tried to do a WinCE build with a system
Perl.

cleanup ..\git_version.h rule in win32/Makefile
Group the nmake line onto 1 line similar to the dmake version, for 1 shell
call out vs 3. "&&" makes sure the build stops if miniperl returns non-0
instead of ignoring the code, cd'ing back to dir win32, and continuing
the build. Part of RT #120727.
