For some time, WORDCHAR has been preferred to ALNUM because of the
nearly identical ALNUMC which means something else (the C language

handy.h: Make some macros more time efficient
These macros check if a UTF-8 encoded character is of particular types
for use with locales. Prior to this patch, they called a function to
convert the character to a code point value. This was used as input to
another macro that handles code points. For values above the Latin1
range, that macro calls a function, which converts back to UTF-8 and
calls another function.
This commit changes that to call the UTF-8 function directly for
above-Latin1 code points. No conversion need be done. For Latin1 code
points, it converts, if necessary, to the code point and calls a macro
that handles these directly.
Some of these macros now use a macro instead of a function call for
above-Latin1 code points, as is done in various other places in this
file.

Stop Constant(%s) errors from leaking
This error message uses yyerror, so it doesn’t abort immediately, but
adds it to the queue of error messages.
If there are ten accumulated errors, however, yyerror croaks with a
‘too many errors’ message.
In that circumstance these messages were leaking scalars.
Instead of creating an SV especially to hold the message to pass to
yyerror and then freeing it afterwards, we can instead use Perl_form,
which reuses the same SV every time (PL_mess_sv), eliminating that
leak. In doing so, we can also combine this with another yyerror/
return in the vicinity, avoiding duplicate code.
The sv passed to S_new_constant was also leaking. When there is no
error, it is currently mortalised. When there is an error, it also
needs to be mortalised, in case it is a fatal error. So this commit
changes it to mortalise it unconditionally. This means we have to
SvREFCNT_inc the return value on error.

Don’t use PMf_ONCE flag for split-to-array
Currently the PMf_ONCE flag has two purposes. It is used to indicate
that m?? must match only once. That’s what distinguishes m?? and m//
internally. The other use indicates that @x = split... modifies the
array in place.
Whenever the split op is modified to point straight to the array, the
PMf_ONCE flag is set. pp_split checks both whether there is an array
attached to the op (via a GV in the pad under threads, or a pointer
from the op to the GV under non-threaded builds) and whether the
flag is set.
This makes the flag redundant in the split case.
Removing its use here not only simplifies the code and removes redun-
dant bit-fiddling, but also makes this comment in toke.c, added by
ad639bfb6, come true:
/* This is the only point in the code that sets PMf_ONCE: */

ring to pmops that don’t use the PMf_USED flag, and the PMf_ONCE flag
is set for split way after that code is run. It is also unnecessary
for split, as that bookkeeping code in toke.c only applies to the m??

more dTHX optimizations in /win32/*
In some places, where there is a higher risk of a NULL my_perl happening
at an unknown point in the future IMO new scopes were created. In other
places dTHXa(NULL) and aTHXa were used to avoid large whitespace changes.
win32_rename and win32_getenv I determined would have no benefit from
changing them. More context passing was added to static funcs called by
win32_kill and win32_waitpid removing the need to move the dTHXs in the
2 funcs.

[perl #115818] Don’t croak for /[.zog.]/
/[.zog.]/ produces a warning, because the POSIX syntax is not used
correctly. It must be /[[.zog.]]/.
/[[.zog.]]/ croaks, because that POSIX syntax has not been imple-
mented yet.
There is currently a croak for the former, too, even though it is
the latter syntax that is forbidden. There is no reason to forbid
the former.
The reason for warning is that /[.zog.]/ is a regular character
class (equivalent to [.zog]), so it might not do what the programmer
intended. If that is why we warn, it doesn’t make sense to croak.
After all, perl is only guessing that the programmer *might* have made
a mistake.
This makes /[.foo.]/ similar to /[:foo:]/, which warns and then acts
like /[:fo]/.

add a note about security concerns in Storable
Storable is not a great way to pass data back and forth across security
boundaries. We have discussed the security implications of the
auto-loading and auto-blessing behaviors in Storable in the past, both
on the perl5-porters mailing list and at various conferences. Somehow,
though, these "well-known" probably have never actually been put into
the documentation. This patch corrects that.
The original version of this patch included a recommendation to use
Sereal in its most stringent configuration, but that text was removed
for the time being by Ricardo Signes, who hopes to add it back once
Sereal has been in public use for just a bit longer.

add SvREFCNT_dec_NN()
Like SvREFCNT_dec(), but skips the not null check, making code potentially
smaller and faster.

it's obvious the value can't be NULL. There are still 500+ uses in the

make SvREFCNT_dec() more efficient
Historically, SvREFCNT_dec was just
#define SvREFCNT_dec(sv) sv_free((SV*)(sv))
then in 5.10.0, for GCC, the macro was partially inlined, avoiding a
function call for the refcnt > 1 case. Recently, the macro was turned into
an inline function, providing the function-call avoidance to other
platforms too. However, the macro/inline-function is quite big, and
appears over 500 times in the core source. Its action is logically
equivalent to:
if (sv) {
if (SvREFCNT(sv) > 1)
SvREFCNT(sv)--;
else if (SvREFCNT == 1) {
// normal case
SvREFCNT(sv)--;
sv_free2(sv);
}
else {
// exceptional case
sv_free(sv);
}
}
Where sv_free2() handles the "normal" quick cases, while sv_free()
handles the odd cases (e,g. a ref count already at 0 during global
destruction).
This means we have to plant code that potentially calls two different
subs, over 500 times.
This commit changes SvREFCNT_dec and sv_free2() to look like:
PERL_STATIC_INLINE void
S_SvREFCNT_dec(pTHX_ SV *sv)
{
if (sv) {
U32 rc = SvREFCNT(sv);
if (rc > 1)
SvREFCNT(sv) = rc - 1;
else
Perl_sv_free2(aTHX_ sv, rc);
}
}
Perl_sv_free2(pTHX_ SV *const sv, const U32 rc)
{
if (rc == 1) {
SvREFCNT(sv) = 0;
... do sv_clear, del_SV etc ...
return
}
/* handle exceptional rc == 0 */
...
}
So for the normal cases (rc > 1, rc == 1) there is the same amount of
testing and function calls, but the second test has been moved inside
the sv_free2() function.
This makes the perl executable about 10-15K smaller, and apparently a bit
faster (modulo the fact that most benchmarks are just measuring noise).
The refcount is passed as a second arg to sv_free2(), as on platforms
that pass the first few args in registers, it saves reading sv->sv_refcnt
again.

Optimise magic handling in save* and leave_scope
There are several places that have code similar to
if (SvMAGICAL(sv)) {
PL_localizing = 2;
SvSETMAGIC(sv)
PL_localizing = 0;
}
The condition is sub-optimal (it should only test for set magic), and the
SvSETMAGIC repeats a similar test.
Other places didn't have the outer condition, so they set PL_localizing
twice even when not needed.

refactor Perl_leave_scope
This is a large and hot function. The main problem with it is that
there is code to pop a few args repeated in just about every branch.
Also, there are a whole bunch of local vars (sv, av, hv, gv etc)
that are never all used simultaneously, but are really just there for
casting convenience. Together, they defeat the compiler's register
allocation algorithms (well, they did for gcc anyway).
We fix this by just declaring three general vars, arg0,1,2 of type ANY, and
move the popping code to above the switch(). We sort the SAVEt_*
indices in order of number of args, so it's quick to determine how many
args we need to pop for a particular type.
Together with the previous commits which added the SS_ADD_* macros, this
reduces the size of scope.o (-O2, gcc x86_64) by about 9% (threaded)
or 17% (unthreaded), and seems to speed up simple loops / function calls
by around 5%.

Both these functions were structured as

machine code (x86_64, gcc -O2) is no larger than before, and saves time
on the long version.

Add SS_ADD_* macros and replace most SSPUSH* uses

{
dSS_ADD;
SS_ADD_INT(...);
SS_ADD_PTR(...);

This is designed to be more efficient.
First, it defines some local vars, and defers updating PL_savestack_ix
to the end.
Second, it performs the 'is there space on the stack' check *after*
pushing. Doing the check last means that values in registers will have
been pushed and no longer needed, so don't need saving around the call to
grow. Also, tail-call elimination of the grow() can be done. These changes
reduce the code of something like save_pushptrptr() to half its former
size.
Of course, doing the size check *after* pushing means we must always
ensure there are SS_MAXPUSH free slots on the savestack */

Cwd::fast_abs_path's untaint should allow for multiline directories
This bug was noticed via https://github.com/dagolden/file-chdir/issues/3 and testing has led to this being the cause.
The problem is worse on some platforms (notably cygwin in this case) when abs_path is implemented by fast_abs_path.
Since File::chdir tests for proper behavior when a directory contains a newline, this bug then breaks File::chdir (one of my favorites and very useful xplatform tool).
Yes this should have tests, but since it will involve creating a directory with a newline, I thought I would do better to leave that to someone with better knowledge than I.
