eintr.t: skip based on capability rather than OS
The t/io/eintr.t tests require read/write system to calls to be

Many platforms aren't interruptible, which means the tests would hang.
We currently work round this by skipping based on a hard-coded list of
OSes (such as win32, VMS etc).
Change this so that we instead do an initial test as to whether they are
interruptible, and if not, skip the whole test file.

What’s happening is that there is an extra pushmark in the list when
attributes are present:

h <$> const[PV "main"] sM ->i
j <1> srefgen sKM/1 ->k
- <1> ex-list lKRM ->j
i <0> padsv[@b:39,40] sRM ->j
k <$> const[PV "foo"] sM ->l
l <$> method_named[PV "import"] ->m
-e syntax OK
That leaves an extra mark that confuses pp_aassign, which doesn’t know
what it’s supposed to be reading and what it’s supposed to be assign-
ing to (hence the bizarre copy).
The pushmark is the result of the concatenation of two lists, the sec-
ond one beginning with a pushmark (as listops do by default). The con-
catenation occurs in Perl_my_attrs, at this spot (in the ‘else’):
if (rops) {
if (maybe_scalar && o->op_type == OP_PADSV) {
o = scalar(op_append_list(OP_LIST, rops, o));
o->op_private |= OPpLVAL_INTRO;
}
else
o = op_append_list(OP_LIST, o, rops);
}
So this commit make that ‘else’ clause check for a pushmark and oblit-
erate it if present, before concatenating the lists.

stop waithires.t randomly failing under high load
Under conditions of high load (e.g. parallel testing),
some of the tests in threads-shared/t/waithires.t can fail.
My previous attempt at fixing this,
bb09c94c3bb1638714998511ecf5d337a708535a
was mostly wrong. In particular, the new sub cond_timedwaitN()
didn't actually do what it advertised, since it didn't increment
the timeout, which was an absolute clock time. Instead, it's main
affect was to mostly guarantee (within a 10 second window) that
a wait succeeded (and thus that the whole test file didn't hang),
although as it happens, after the first fail it was no longer actively
testing a timed wait.
Formalise this, by renaming cond_timedwaitN() to do_cond_timedwait(), and
just doing an untimed cond_wait() if the initial cond_timedwait() times
out.
In addition, the changes to avoid false positives are:
Increase the wait periods from 0.1s and 0.05s to 0.4s, to give a bigger
window.
Add a new lock, $ready, that ensures that the child is fully started and
ready before the parent starts the cond_timedwait(), which reduces the
window of time where the wait might time out.
Make the scope of the lock as small as possible, so that that the parent
cond_timedwait() isn't still trying to re-acquire the lock while the child
prints out 'ok' messages etc.
And most importantly, don't automatically treat a cond_timedwait() timeout
as a failure. Instead, measure the time the parent spends in
cond_timedwait(), and the time the child spends between locking and
signalling; and if both of these are greater than the timeout, then we
know we timed out because we were loaded, rather than because something
was wrong with cond_timedwait.

[perl #92290, #92406] Returning a pad var from lv sub
This fixes a recent (post-5.14.0) regression.
Commit bf8fb5e (the fix for #62498) introduced it for lvalue subs with
no return statement [perl #92406].
Commit fa1e92c (the fix for #72724) introduced it for lvalue subs that
do have an explicit return [perl #92290].
Simply returning a scalar itself from an lvalue sub does not work if
it is a pad variable with a reference count of 1. In that circum-
stance, the sub-popping code sees that the SV can be re-used the next
time the sub is called, so it undefines it and hangs on to it. So
the scalar returned gets emptied before the calling code can see it.
The reference count has to be increased temporarily, which sv_2mortal
and SvREFCNT_inc combined accomplish.

Fix several array-returning bugs in lvalue subs
This finishes fixing bug #23790.
When called in reference context (for(...) or map $_, ...), lvalue
subs returning arrays or hashes would return the AV or HV itself, as
though it were lvalue context.
The result was that $_ would be bound to an AV or HV, which is not
supposed to happen, as it’s a scalar (that’s when you start getting
‘Bizarre copy’ errors).
Commit
91e34d82 fixed this in pp_leavesublv, but the if condition it
added was placed outside the loop, so it only applied when the array
was the first thing returned. It also did not take hashes into account.
By changing the lvalue-context check in pp_padav, pp_padhv and
pp_rv2av (which also serves as pp_rv2hv), I was able to apply a more
general fix, which also fix another bug: Those array and hash ops were
croaking when called in scalar reference context (...->$method).
Because it is no longer part of the sub-leaving code, explicitly
returning an array in reference context works now, too.

91e34d82, as it’s no

[perl #7946] Lvalue subs do not autovivify
This commit makes autovivification work with lvalue subs. It follows
the same technique used by other autovivifiable ops (aelem, helem,
tc.), except that, due to flag constraints, it uses a single flag and
instead checks the op tree at run time to find out what sort of thing
to vivify.
The flag constraints are that these two flags:
#define OPpENTERSUB_HASTARG 32 /* Called from OP tree. */
#define OPpENTERSUB_NOMOD 64 /* Immune to op_lvalue() for :attrlist. */
conflict with these:
#define OPpDEREF (32|64) /* autovivify: Want ref to something: */
#define OPpDEREF_AV 32 /* Want ref to AV. */
#define OPpDEREF_HV 64 /* Want ref to HV. */
#define OPpDEREF_SV (32|64) /* Want ref to SV. */
Renumbering HASTARG and NOMOD is problematic, as there are places in
op.c that change entersubs into rv2cvs, and the entersub and rv2cv
flags would conflict. Setting the flags correctly when changing the
type is hard and would result in subtle bugs if not done perfectly.
Ops like ${...} don’t actually autovivify; it’s the op inside that
does it. In those cases, the parent op is flagged with OPpDEREFed, and
it skips get-magic, as it has already been called by the inner op.
Since entersub is now marked as being an autovivifying op, ${...} in
lvalue context ends up skipping get-magic if there is a foo() inside.
And this affects even regular subs. So pp_leavesub and pp_return have
to call get-magic; hence the new tests in gmagic.t.

This commit precedes the SAVEGENERICSV with a call to save_gp, to make

[perl #62498] Scalar context breaks lvalue subs
That RT ticket reported that a $ prototype puts an implicit scalar()
on its argument, and that scalar(lvalue()) causes the function to
return a temporary value. In particular:
${\scalar($_)} = 1; # ok
${\scalar f()} = 1; # no effect
(where f is an lvalue sub that returns $_).
It turns out that this does not only affect scalar(), but also
|| and &&:
${\($_ && undef)} = 3; # ok
${\(f() && undef)} = 3; # no effect
Also, that comment in pp_leavesublv about f()->meth() not being lvalue
context is wrong, as
$o->${\sub { $_[0] = "whatever" }};
assigns to $o, and
sub UNIVERSAL::undef { undef $_[0] }
allows calls like
$x->undef
to undefine $x, if it contains an object or package name.
Since copying values in rvalue context is wasteful anyway, since the
definition of rvalue context is that the value is going to be copied
(resulting in *two* copies), the easiest solution is not to copy val-
ues in rvalue context.
This ends up applying to what I call ‘reference’ context (semi-lvalue,
or potential lvalue) as well.
This works already with explicit return.
