PerlIO::get_layers: Treat numbers as strings
PerlIO::get_layers should not be ignoring an argument like 12, but

same value.
It’s an instance of the string/num bug, which is a bit like the

those two files.

the ‘custom’ bundle is active, this means that the hint hash is used,

There is no longer any need for ‘negative’ features--those whose
entries in %^H turn them off. The only feature in that category was a
default feature. Now we use the default bundle in PL_hints, which is
indicated by 0 (see feature.h), so we don’t even have to set it.

and then sets the current bundle to ‘custom’, before enabling or disa-

Deparse: Ignore strict hh hints
As of 5.15.6, strict.pm puts hints in %^H. B::Deparse still deparses
strict hints in $^H with ‘use strict’. Strictly speaking, deparsing
$^H hints with ‘use strict’ is not strictly correct any more, because
the result of ‘eval 'use v5.10; ...'’ within the same scope is differ-
ent, in that ‘use v5.10’ will disable strictures enabled only through
$^H, but will not disable those enabled also through %^H.
(Strict entries in %^H strictly indicate that strict.pm is overriding
any version declaration. They are always set to undef.)
So the correct way to deparse $^H without %^H would be ‘use 5.011’ or
‘use 5.012’ or ‘use 5.
011001000000001’, which all work. The correct
way to deparse $^H *with* %^H is ‘use strict’.
Determining the actual version number to use is a problem. It is
nowhere to be seen in the op tree. It is visible in the implied BEGIN
block (BEGIN{require 5.012}). Due to limitations in Perl itself,
it is not possible to know exactly where the BEGIN block should go,
so trying to pair up $^H changes with BEGIN blocks could never work
reliably. Simply guessing the version number and printing one the
code did not contain would cause more confusion than the strict
hints in %^H.
Since B::Deparse has special-cased strict mode as far as I can remem-
ber, always putting it in the right place, falling back to relying
BEGIN blocks (collapsing them to version declarations) would be a
regression.
So it seems the best choice is simply to suppress strict hints in %^H
and deparse strict as it has always been deparsed. It’s not strictly
correct, but neither are the alternatives, and it seems the least bad.

[perl #81424] Make Deparse handle /aelemfast_lex/
B::Deparse’s pure_string subroutine, that checks whether an op tree
can fit in double-quotish syntax, didn’t know about aelemfast_lex, or,
formerly, aelemfast on lexical variables. (It did know how to han-
dle aelemfast for package variables.) Consequently it was deparsing
/$a[0]/ as $a[0] for a lexical @a.
/$a[0]/ with a package variable looks like this:
9 </> match() lK/RTIME ->a
8 <|> regcomp(other->9) sK/1 ->9
6 <1> regcreset sK/1 ->7
- <1> ex-aelem sK/2 ->8
- <1> ex-rv2av sKR/1 ->-
7 <#> aelemfast[*s] s/1 ->8
- <0> ex-const s ->-
There are two null ops (ex-*) before the aelemfast.

- <1> ex-aelem sK/2 ->8
7 <0> aelemfast_lex[@s:1,2] sR/1 ->8

There is only one null op (ex-aelem).

Don’t clobber all magic when clobbering vstring
This code in sv_setsv, introduced in
ece467f9b3, can’t possi-
bly be right:
if ( SvVOK(dstr) )
{
/* need to nuke the magic */
mg_free(dstr);
}
And here is a test to prove it:
sub TIESCALAR { bless[]}
sub STORE {}
tie $@, "";
$@ = v0;
warn tied $@; # main=ARRAY(0xc0ffee)
$@ = 3;
warn tied $@; # something’s wrong
It blows away tiedness.
You could do that to any variable.
Let’s see:
$! = v0;
$! = 3;
open foo, 'oentuhaeontu' or die $!; # 3 at - line 3.
Youch!
Let’s just free vstring magic, shall we?

[perl #29070] Add vstring set-magic
Some operators, like pp_complement, assign their argument to TARG
(which copies vstring magic), modify it in place, and then call set-
magic. That’s supposed to work, but vstring magic was remaining as it
was, such that ~v7 would still be treated as "v7" by vstring-aware
code, even though the resulting string is not "\7".
This commit adds vstring set-magic that checks to see whether the pv
still matches the vstring. It cannot simply free the vstring magic,
as that would prevent $x=v0 from working.

regexp.h: remove completely redundant return statement
Remove a redundant return() statement at the end of the
get_regex_charset_name function. The "default" case for the above
switch statement will always return for us.
This was added intentionally in v5.14.0-354-g0984e55 by Jim Cromie,
but the rationale for doing so is that we might have a compiler bug
here, but we're pretty screwed anyway if switch statements stop
working as advertised by the standard so there's no reason to be
defensive in this particular case.
