Make perl_setup.com infer perl_root from its own location.
The perl_setup.com command procedure initializes the root logical
name, the shareable image logical name pointing to the main Perl
dynamic library, and either command symbols or command table
entries that reference those logical names. It's always by
default hard-coded the prefix chosen at configuration time as the
basis for where Perl should be located.
The original rationale for that was that it gets run right before
installperl and sets things up correctly for installation. But
that optimizes for a single use case that is easily handled by
specifying the correct install location as a parameter and
pessimizes for every other use case, notably relocating an
installed Perl directory tree.
So make it infer the correct root from its own location and
specify the install location only at installation time. Among
other benefits, this allows the install location to be chosen
at installation time by overriding the default prefix like so:

For something like 0.153e-305, which is small, but not quite the smallest

could cause unnecessary rounding to zero.
From the bug report:
$ echo 0.1530e-305 | perl -e '$v = <STDIN>; print "v=", $v + 0, "\n";'
v=0
$ echo 0.153e-305 | perl -e '$v = <STDIN>; print "v=", $v + 0, "\n";'

do cflags on stdout, not stderr
The current UNIX build system does a strange thing to generate the
appropriate command-line to compile a particular src file. It calls
the cflags shell script, which
1) echoes to stdout the command line needed to compile the specified
file (excluding the name of the src file itself), e.g.
cc -c -Dfoo -Wbar ...
2) echoes the same thing to stderr, prefixied with ' CCCMD ='
Make then does
`sh cflags foo.o` foo.c
the cflags output to stdout is captured by the backticks, and is used
by make as the command line to run (with the foo.c appended). This run is
silent. The output to stderr isn't captured, and gets displayed. So the
user sees:
$ make
`sh cflags foo.o` foo.c
CCCMD = cc -c -Dfoo -Wbar ...
...
This is annoying for 2 reasons:
1) you don't get a simple command-line displayed which you could do a
simple cut and paste with (e.g. when you want to recompile a specific
source file, but alter the flags).
2) The make generates output on stderr, even when then there aren't any
errors. So "make 2>errs" can't be used to quickly spot warnings and
errors.
This commit fixes this by making cflags just output the cc command and
flags to stdout, then get Makefile to call it twice, once to echo
the command-line (on stdout), and once to execute it with backticks.
So the make output is now:
$ make
cc -c -Dfoo -Wbar ... foo.c
...
There is some stuff in Makefile.SH related to cross-compiling, which this
commit make have broken. Specifically the CCCMD and CCCMDSRC macros
have been changed in the normal case to remove backticks (and add them to
the make rules instead), but not for the cross compilation route.
The CC* defs in the cross-compilation case have a trailing -I$(CROSS_LIB)
outside of the backticks, which compilates matters.
However, in the subdir Cross/, there appears to be separate (and
divergent) copies of Makefile.SH and cflags, so maybe the files
I edited are no longer used for cross-compilation????

[perl #119801] Stop @DB::dbline modifications from crashing
The cop address for each breakable line was being stored in the IVX
slot of ${"_<$file"}[$line]. This value itself, writable from Perl
space, was being used as the address of the op to be flagged, whenever
a breakpoint was set.
This meant writing to ${"_<$file"}[$line] and assigning a number (like
42) would cause perl to use 42 as an op address, and crash when trying
to flag the op.
Furthermore, since the array holding the lines could outlive the ops,
setting a breakpoint on the op could write to freed memory or to an
unrelated op (even a different type), potentially changing the beha-
viour of unrelated code.
This commit solves those pitfalls by moving breakpoints into a global
breakpoint bitfield. Dbstate ops now have an extra field on the end
holding a sequence number, representing which bit holds the breakpoint
for that op.

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.

Merge branch 'perldelta' into blead
Add a new mode to Porting/corelist-perldelta.pl to update the module
changes in pod/perldelta.pod for the perl you are currently building.
This can be run as:
./perl -Ilib Porting/corelist-perldelta.pl --mode=update pod/perldelta.pod
*after* updating Module::CoreList with something like:
./perl -Ilib Porting/corelist.pl cpan
There is still scope for improvement in the handling of removed modules,
and in automatically cribbing information from the Changes files of those
modules that have been updated, but this is a big step in the right
direction.
