The crash can still be triggered another way. Instead of a blessing,
we need to modify a method (to turn on the potentially-overloaded
flag) and then use an operator that respects overloading. This exam-
ple crashes before and after
bee7c5743fa:
eval 'sub Sample::foo {}';
"".bless {},'Sample';
delete local $Sample::{ '()' };
It is the recalculation of overload caches before a localised deletion
that causes the crash. And it only happens when the '()' key does
not exist.
Actually, it turns out that S_delete_local doesn’t behave correctly
for rmagical aggregates, except for %ENV:
$ ./perl -Ilib -MDevel::Peek -e 'delete local $ISA[0]'
Bus error
$ ./perl -XIlib -MDevel::Peek -e '??; delete local $::{foo}'
Bus error
It’s this line, which occurs twice in pp.c:S_do_delete_local, which
is at fault:
const bool can_preserve = SvCANEXISTDELETE(osv)
|| mg_find((const SV *)osv, PERL_MAGIC_env);
When can_preserve is true, the ‘preeminent’ variable is set based on
whether the element exists. Otherwise it is set to true.
Why the term ‘preeminent’ was chosen I don’t know, but in this case it
means that the element already exists, so it has to be restored after-
wards. We can’t just do save_delete.
The code for saving a hash element assumes it is non-null, and crashes
otherwise.
The logic for setting can_preserve is wrong. SvCANEXISTDELETE returns
true for non-magical variables and for variables with those tie meth-
ods implemented. For magical variables that are not tied, it returns
the wrong answer. PERL_MAGIC_env seems to have been added as an
exception, to keep it working. But other magical aggregates were not
accounted for.
This logic was copied from other functions (aslice, hslice, etc.),
which are similarly buggy, but they don’t crash:
$ ./perl -Ilib -le ' { local $::{foo} } print exists $::{foo}'
$ ./perl -Ilib -le 'm??; { local $::{foo} } print exists $::{foo}'
1
In all these cases, it is SvCANEXISTDELETE that is buggy. So this
commit fixes it and adds tests for all the code paths that use it.
Now no exception needs to be made for PERL_MAGIC_env.

are set then they report that root can execute the file. Perl's builtin
-x and -X operators, added in Perl 2, have always been correct.

Test that File::stat exports stat by default, overriding the builtin.
Also, add a test that the array produced by File::stat::stat is identical to
the list produced by the builtin.

lib/File/stat.t should also test the -X operators on directories.

In lib/File/stat.t, permute the test file's mode for more thorough testing.
For each mode bit set, and all bits clear, test each filetest operator with
and without a File::stat object. Previously the only test was for the mode
the file was created with.

Refactor lib/File/stat.t for robustness.
Use CORE::stat instead of stat, to be clear which is the builtin, and which
is the routine that File::stat is prepared to export. As it is now
unambiguous which is which, remove comments that annotated each use.
Use isa_ok() in place of ok() to test the return value of File::stat::stat.
Use is_deeply() in place of is() and arrays interpolated into strings.
Move the data driven loop that tests most of the -X operators into a
function test_X_ops(), and use this to test both the tempfile
(non-executable) and $^X (executable).
Put the first sanity test of File::stat::stat inside a block so that its
lexicals don't leak.

*Actually* test that bug
20011110.104 is fixed.
Bug ID
20011110.104 (RT #7896) was fixed by commit
2f173a711df6278f in Nov
2001, but the test that commit added never actually tested this.
The initial problem was that the new code, as written, used C<stat>,
intending that to call File::stat::stat(). However the refactoring of the
test script (all part of the same commit) from C<use File::stat;> to
C<use_ok( 'File::stat' );> (not in a BEGIN block) intentionally eliminated
the export of &File::stat::stat. This means that plain C<stat> is the
core builtin.
Fixing this as-is to File::stat::stat() won't help, as tests have
subsequently been added earlier in the script that trigger the autoloading
of Symbol by File::stat (commit
83716b1ec25b41f2 in Feb 2002). Moving the
tests earlier won't help now that the test uses File::Temp, as that uses
IO::Seekable which uses IO::Handle, which unconditionally loads Symbol.
The simplest solution seems to be to move the test to its own file.

Simplify lib/File/stat.t by using a tempfile as the test victim.
The previous code had got very gnarly trying to use a file from the
distribution for the test file, attempting to cope with
1) Other programs reading the file and hence the atime updating
2) The perl interpreter reading the file and hence the atime updating :-)
3) Building with -Dmksymlinks meaning that the file is a symlink
All these problems and work arounds simply *vanish* if we use a tempfile.
This will also enable us to change its mode in the future for better testing.

Remove needless skip tests from lib/File/stat.t
The stat builtin is always implemented, so no need for an eval {} test to
check for this. The presence or absence of <sys/stat.h> at the C level isn't
going to affect the outcome of this test.
Both have been in the test script since it was added (as t/lib/filestat.t)
by commit
f7a45afb043dafc5 in May 2001. I suspect that both were copied
from one of the Net::* test scripts which was being used as the template.

In lib/File/stat.t, test everything with and without use filetest "access".
Previously the use filetest "access" tests were separate, and didn't test
all the "should not warn" cases. By moving them into the main data-driven
loop it's trivial to test everything.
Also test that all the correct errors are seen on VMS, and not seen anywhere
else.
