Teach regex optimizer to handle above-Latin1
Until this commit, the regular expression optimizer has essentially
punted on above-Latin1 code points. Under some circumstances, they
would be taken into account, more or less, but often, the generated
synthetic start class would end up matching all above-Latin1 code
points. With the advent of inversion lists, it becomes feasible to
actually fully handle such code points, as inversion lists are a
convenient way to express arbitrary lists of code points and take their
union, intersection, etc. This commit changes the optimizer to use
inversion lists for operating on the code points the synthetic start
class can match.
I don't much understand the overall operation of the optimizer. I'm
told that previous porters found that perturbing it caused unexpected
behaviors. I had promised to get this change in 5.18, but didn't. I'm
trying to get it in early enough into the 5.20 preliminary series that
any problems will surface before 5.20 ships.
This commit doesn't change the macro level logic, but does significantly
change various micro level things. Thus the 'and' and 'or' subroutines
have been rewritten to use inversion lists. I'm pretty confident that
they do what their names suggest. I re-derived the equations for what
these operations should do, getting the same results in some cases, but
extending others where the previous code mostly punted. The derivations
are given in comments in the respective routines.
Some of the code is greatly simplified, as it no longer has to treat
above-Latin1 specially.
It is now feasible for /i matching of above-Latin1 code points to know
explicitly the folds that should be in the synthetic start class. But
more prepatory work needs to be done before putting that into place.

proto.h is #included before regcomp.h is, and so functions that are

knows enough to compile.

Otherwise proto.h would not know about it at all. This patch moves two
regcomp.c related declarations in perl.h to the same section as the
others, and changes the one for RExC_state_t to be a typedef. All the

Another faulty padrange assumption
Commit 7601007 was not sufficient. There are two places where the

When a padrange op is created in rpeep, the code first checks whether

in this case:
my ($a,$b,$c);
my ($d,$e,$f);
Then the code checks whether it can swallow up any singletons follow-

my ($v,$w,$x);
my $y;

Under the assumption that PL_curcop could never be null in newGP (even
when set to null by S_cop_free in op.c), I added an assertion to
newGP, which still leaving the null checks in place. The idea was
that, if PL_curcop is ever null there, we want to know about it, since
it is probably a bug.
It turns out this code (reduced from DBIx::Class’s test suite), can
fail that assertion:
INIT {
bless {} and exit;
}
exit() calls leave_scope, which frees the INIT block. Since PL_curcop
(the statement inside INIT) would end up pointing to free memory, it
is set to null. When it exits, call_sv does FREETMPS:
case 2:
/* my_exit() was called */
SET_CURSTASH(PL_defstash);
FREETMPS;
JMPENV_POP;
my_exit_jump();
assert(0); /* NOTREACHED */
FREETMPS ends up freeing the object (bless {}), which results
in a DESTROY method lookup. For the sake of caching methods,
*main::DESTROY is autovivified. GV creation trips on the assertion in
newGP that makes sure PL_curcop is null.
So this proves that we really do need to check for a null
PL_curcop in newGP.
While we could avoid having DESTROY lookup vivify *main::DESTROY
(since the cache there would only be used for explicit ->DESTROY
calls, the usual DESTROY cache being stuffed into SvSTASH(stash)),
that would complicate things for no gain.

RMG - Add a note about merging the release branch back into blead
I was momentarily confused and almost did the wrong thing when I saw that
"git merge release-5.19.4" had produced a merge commit (
71d5a36340),
whereas the merge of 5.19.3 a month ago did not (see
f865d60069).
The cause was simply that a change (

since I'd created the release branch, which had not happened when merging
the 5.19.3 release branch last month.

[perl #3112] Stop last from returning values
In push @a, last, it can try to return the @a, copying it like a sca-

In do{{&{sub{"Just another Perl hacker,\n"}},last}}, it returns "Just

The former is clearly a bug. The latter depends on a side-effect of

‘last’ really should not be trying to return the values that the same

Now that the check is working, it was working slightly too well and actually
picked up 5.019005 in the %delta because that had been added already and
