/* pp_multiconcat()

Concatenate one or more args, possibly interleaved with constant string
segments. The result may be assigned to, or appended to, a variable or
expression.

Several op_flags and/or op_private bits indicate what the target is, and
whether it's appended to. Valid permutations are:

    -                                  (PADTMP) = (A.B.C....)
    OPpTARGET_MY                       $lex     = (A.B.C....)
    OPpTARGET_MY,OPpLVAL_INTRO         my $lex  = (A.B.C....)
    OPpTARGET_MY,OPpMULTICONCAT_APPEND $lex    .= (A.B.C....)
    OPf_STACKED                        expr     = (A.B.C....)
    OPf_STACKED,OPpMULTICONCAT_APPEND  expr    .= (A.B.C....)

Other combinations like (A.B).(C.D) are not optimised into a multiconcat
op, as it's too hard to get the correct ordering of ties, overload etc.

In addition:

    OPpMULTICONCAT_FAKE:       not a real concat, instead an optimised
                               sprintf "...%s...". Don't call '.'
                               overloading: only use '""' overloading.

    OPpMULTICONCAT_STRINGIFY:  the RHS was of the form
                               "...$a...$b..." rather than
                               "..." . $a . "..." . $b . "..."

An OP_MULTICONCAT is of type UNOP_AUX. The fixed slots of the aux array are
defined with PERL_MULTICONCAT_IX_FOO constants, where:


    FOO       index description
    --------  ----- ----------------------------------
    NARGS     0     number of arguments
    PLAIN_PV  1     non-utf8 constant string
    PLAIN_LEN 2     non-utf8 constant string length
    UTF8_PV   3     utf8 constant string
    UTF8_LEN  4     utf8 constant string length
    LENGTHS   5     first of nargs+1 const segment lengths

The idea is that a general string concatenation will have a fixed (known
at compile time) number of variable args, interspersed with constant
strings, e.g. "a=$a b=$b\n"

All the constant string segments "a=", " b=" and "\n" are stored as a
single string "a= b=\n", pointed to from the PLAIN_PV/UTF8_PV slot, along
with a series of segment lengths: e.g. 2,3,1. In the case where the
constant string is plain but has a different utf8 representation, both
variants are stored, and two sets of (nargs+1) segments lengths are stored
in the slots beginning at PERL_MULTICONCAT_IX_LENGTHS.

A segment length of -1 indicates that there is no constant string at that
point; this distinguishes between e.g. ($a . $b) and ($a . "" . $b), which
have differing overloading behaviour.

       it's not IOK as a PV of "9223372036854775806" may not take well to NV
       addition, and an SV which is NOK, NV=6.0 ought to be coerced to
       integer in case the second argument is IV=9223372036854775806
       We can (now) rely on sv_2iv to do the right thing, only setting the

       C 99 section 6.2.6.1 says

       The range of nonnegative values of a signed integer type is a subrange
       of the corresponding unsigned integer type, and the representation of
       the same value in each type is the same. A computation involving
       unsigned operands can never overflow, because a result that cannot be
       represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is reduced modulo
       the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be
       represented by the resulting type.

       (the 9th paragraph)

       which I read as "unsigned ints wrap."

       signed integer overflow seems to be classed as "exception condition"

       If an exceptional condition occurs during the evaluation of an
       expression (that is, if the result is not mathematically defined or not
       in the range of representable values for its type), the behavior is
       undefined.

       (6.5, the 5th paragraph)

       I had assumed that on 2s complement machines signed arithmetic would
       wrap, hence coded pp_add and pp_subtract on the assumption that
       everything perl builds on would be happy.  After much wailing and
       gnashing of teeth it would seem that irix64 knows its ANSI spec well,
       knows that it doesn't need to, and doesn't.  Bah.  Anyway, the all-
       unsigned code below is actually shorter than the old code. :-)

/* Do a mark and sweep with the SVf_BREAK flag to detect elements which

             *    sub FETCH { $status[$_[1]] } @status = @tied[0,1];
             *
             * The way to avoid these issues is to make the copy of each
             * SV (and we normally store a *copy* in the array) *before*
             * clearing the array. But this has a problem in that
             * if the code croaks during copying, the not-yet-stored copies
             * could leak. One way to avoid this is to make all the copies
             * mortal, but that's quite expensive.
             *
             * The current solution to these issues is to use a chunk
             * of the tmps stack as a temporary refcounted-stack. SVs
             * will be put on there during processing to avoid leaks,
             * but will be removed again before the end of this block,
             * so free_tmps() is never normally called. Also, the
             * sv_refcnt of the SVs doesn't have to be manipulated, since
             * the ownership of 1 reference count is transferred directly
             * from the tmps stack to the AV when the SV is stored.
             *
             * We disarm slots in the temps stack by storing PL_sv_undef
             * there: it doesn't matter if that SV's refcount is
             * repeatedly decremented during a croak. But usually this is
             * only an interim measure. By the end of this code block
             * we try where possible to not leave any PL_sv_undef's on the
             * tmps stack e.g. by shuffling newer entries down.
             *
             * There is one case where we don't copy: non-magical
             * SvTEMP(sv)'s with a ref count of 1. The only owner of these
             * is on the tmps stack, so its safe to directly steal the SV
             * rather than copying. This is common in things like function
             * returns, map etc, which all return a list of such SVs.
             *
             * Note however something like @a = (f())[0,0], where there is
             * a danger of the same SV being shared:  this avoided because
             * when the SV is stored as $a[0], its ref count gets bumped,
             * so the RC==1 test fails and the second element is copied
             * instead.
             *
             * We also use one slot in the tmps stack to hold an extra
             * ref to the array, to ensure it doesn't get prematurely
             * freed. Again, this is removed before the end of this block.
             *
             * Note that OPpASSIGN_COMMON_AGG is used to flag a possible
             * @a = ($a[0]) case, but the current implementation uses the
             * same algorithm regardless, so ignores that flag. (It *is*
