             Rename FBM_TABLE_OFFSET to PERL_FBM_TABLE_OFFSET prior to moving it
             to a header.
             
             [ 29522]
             Convert the -1 to a more explicit PERL_FBM_FLAGS_OFFSET_FROM_TABLE.
             
             [ 29524]
             Move PERL_FBM_TABLE_OFFSET and PERL_FBM_FLAGS_OFFSET_FROM_TABLE to sv.h
             
             [but not this bit:
             Stow BmRARE in the SvPVX, and so delete xbm_rare.
             Can you see what it is yet?
             ]
             
             [ 29525]
             Add BmPREVIOUS_set(), and use it in the one place that BmPREVIOUS is
             modified.
             
             [ 29538]
             Correct some assumptions about PVBM table offset in B.xs
             
             [ 29541]
             In theory Perl_magic_setbm() should clear SvTAIL() too. In practice,
             I don't think that it matters as this routine is never actualy called
             because nothing exposes PVBMs to the world so that the world can assign
             to them.
             
             [ 29635]
             Eliminate BmPREVIOUS_set - with the complexity gone from how the datum
             is stored, there's no need for it.
             
             [ 29637]
             In Perl_fbm_compile, really rarest should be U32 not I32, as it is
             set from a U32, and used as an array index.

             From: "Jan Dubois" <jand@ActiveState.com>
             Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2006 12:36:31 -0800

             [ 27421]
             Get rid of unnecessary "rmdir /s" calls in Win32 makefiles
             
             They only existed for the benefit of old shells that didn't
             understand "rmdir /s /q", but since change #27195 effectively
             drops support for old shells that don't understand "xcopy /y"
             it seems unnecessary now.
             
             Windows NT4, 2000, XP and onwards all support "rmdir /s /q", so
             it's probably only the Windows 9x shells that lose out.
             
             [ 27500]
             The first step in supporting VC++ 8.0.  Added macros for the free .NET 2.0 SDK and Visual Studio
             2005.  Added these macros to "if" conditions that were appropriate.  Added a fix to prevent
             the .NET 1.1 and 2.0 SDK compilers from attempting to build perlglob.exe (they are both missing
             the setargv.obj file necessary to do it).
             
             [ 27503]
             Additions to README.win32 and win32/Makefile based on comments from
             Steve Hay.
             
             [ 27528]
             Subject: [PATCH] win32_pclose() error exit doesn't unlock mutex
             From: Jan Dubois <jand@ActiveState.com>
             Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 16:30:23 -0800
             Message-ID: <02c701c64959$fac63ad0$6062a8c0@candy>
             
             [ 27530]
             Install POD files into "lib\pods" rather than "lib\pod" on Win32
             to avoid clashing with "lib\Pod" (cf. perl change #26363)
             
             Also remove a couple of unused macros from the makefiles
             
             [ 27532]
             Make "distclean" target on Win32 clean up temporary HTML directory
             that gets left behind after running the "install" target.
             Also clean up a couple of leftover pod2html cache files.
             
             [ 27555]
             Merge some changes from ActivePerl 5.8.8.816
             
             See:
             http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/src/5.8/AP816_diff.txt
             
             These changes provide better support for building XS extension modules
             using VC++ or MinGW when perl itself was built with the opposite of
             those two compilers.
             
             [ 27556]
             Merge some more changes from ActivePerl 5.8.8.816
             
             See (again):
             http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/src/5.8/AP816_diff.txt
             
             These changes improve support for the MS 64-bit compiler in
             win32/Makefile (and tentatively make the same changes to
             win32/makefile.mk), and also switches the now deprecated -Gf switch to
             -GF for all flavours of VC++ instead of just the latest ones.

             Revert change #15705 (Core dump in 'leavetry')
             This fixes bug #34682, reintroduces bug #8738 (ID 20020301.011),
             and reintroduces an eval optimisation for innter runops levels
             
             [ 24363]
             Better fix for #8738  (Core dump in 'leavetry')
             When in an inner runops loop (eg via a tie or sort), an eval
             needs a new JMPENV pushing by S_docatch. If an exception is raised,
             control is returned to S_docatch, and it must determine whether
             the eval that trapped the exception is an inner eval or an outer
             one. In the former case, restart the loop, in the latter case,
             rethrow the exception. This is determined by whether we are still
             at the same PL_curstackinfo level. This fails in the case of
             SPLICE(), which pushes a new SETJMP and runops level, but not a
             new stackinfo level. There may be other code which does similar.
             The solution is to store the current value of PL_top_env in each
             pushed CxEVAL, and see if it's still the same as PL_top_env when
             the exception is handled.

             Downgrading a fixed or floating substring of a pattern whilst matching

             Change 29502 wasn't perfect - you need to remove any extra trailing

             some of the time (i.e. when the substitution contains something
             like ${10}). Patch derived from a patch by Hugo van der Sanden;

             on the right side of s///.

             clever. If the right hand side of s///e contains a #, then maybe
             it's a comment, so add a \n after it. Obviously, this is fast, but
             won't cover all possible cases.

             Fix bug in DynaLoader, which has been passing a filename in dynamic
             storage to newXS() seemingly forever. This involves creating
             newXS_flags(), with the first flag being "arrange to copy the 
             filename and free it at the right time".

             Calling cv_undef() on the CV created by newCONSTSUB() would leak like
             a Jumblie's preferred maritime craft. To free CvFILE for this case,
             take advantage of the 0 length prototype that will also be there,
             and hang it from the prototype. To do this properly means changing
             code to actually pay attention to SvCUR() on prototypes. It turns out
             that we always know the length of the prototype string, so this may
             be faster. Certainly, it's a memory saving (even ignoring the leak).

             Provide a new flag for sv_usepvn_flags, SV_HAS_TRAILING_NUL, which
             signals that the buffer passed in is already well-formed for use as
             SvPVX (i.e. it is followed by a trailing NUL), and hence the realloc()
             to add a NUL can be skipped.

             Perl_do_vop can profitably use Perl_sv_usepvn_flags, as it has
             allocated space for an initialised a trailing NUL.

             Coverity still thinks that there is a route through do_vop that can
             leak resources. I believe that it's spotted that you can skip all the
             cases in the switch. Plug that hole.

             Coverity notes that we might be dereferencing fgv before a check that
             it's not NULL. In fact, the code ordering meant that one "if (fgv)"
             would always be true. So fix this.
             
             [ 27867]
             Add assertions to cover cases where the Coverity scanner thinks we
             could are deferencing a NULL pointer, but we think it missed something
             it should have been capable of figuring out.

             Newxz() can use calloc() rather than malloc(), as the implementation
             of calloc() may know that it has fresh pages from the OS, and so
             doesn't need to zero them itself. Plus our object code should be
             slightly smaller.

             sv_find() returning false, followed by sv_magic() to add the magic,
             followed immediately by sv_find() to find it, is somewhat wasteful.
             So use sv_magicext(). (All cases are also correct w.r.t. SvREADONLY())

             Tweaked somewhat to split the arena boolean from the arena_size,
             and with the PTE still doubling-up with one of the SV types in the
             array.
             
             [ 27290]
             Using U8 rather than size type shrinks the body_details table.
             
             [ 27291]
             Shrink struct body_details and hence sv.o slightly further by using
             bitfields.
             
             [ 27292]
             We have sufficient spare bits to store the SV type in body_details,
             so add a small sanity check to ensure that we have the array in the
             correct order.
             
             [ 27338]
             Workaround for initialization errors on HP's pre-compiler
             Do not ask me to explain. This re-definition works on AIX
             and HP-UX. Let's await the smokes.
             
             [ 27405]
             Remove the #define - ARENASETS are always on now.
             
             [ 29878]
             Move C<static bool done_sanity_check;> inside the only function that
             uses it.
             
             [ 29879]
             As Perl_get_arena() is dealing with sizes, use size_t rather than int,
             as it's both unsigned and semantically the correct width for a size.
             As all arenas get cleared later on, can use Newx() rather than Newxz().
             
             [ 29881]
             I think that it's clearer if aroot is only struct arena_set *
             (rather than ** and constantly dereferneced). Move the declaration
             of new_root into the block it is used in. Add a comment describing
             where the arenas for arena_sets themselves aren't rooted anywhere.
             
             [ 29882]
             Add a parameter to Perl_get_arena() to pass in the SV type, and record
             this in the arena description. Change all sizes to unsigned values.
             Make Perl_sv_free_arenas() loop downwards to free memory, simplifying
             the logic. Remove my erroneous comment added in change 29881.

             Disallow sprintf's vector handling for non-integer formats.

             The sprintf documentation has this example:
             
             printf "version is v%vd\n", $^V;

             It's actually easier to get rid of PL_fdscript than we thought.

             Oops. I *thought* that I had checked that all changed files were open.

             Passing the flag to S_forbit_setid as a single char rather than a
             string is a slight space optimisation.
             
             [ 27070]
             Eliminating PL_suidscript is more tricky, and requires changing the
             prototype of Perl_moreswitches.
             
             [ 27072]
             Change 27070 failed to initialise a variable. (But despite that still
             passed all tests locally.)
             
             [ 27073]
             Pull the variables fdscript and suidscript into a much smaller scope.
             Replace suidscript with literal -1 where it could only have been -1.
             (Re-indent the other code inside the new block creating the scope.
             Rejig the indentation of the conditionals)
             
             [ 27074]
             The MSDOS-only call to moreswitches will never reach forbid_setid, so
             it can have a parameter of -1 without changing any behaviour.
             I see no reason to forbid "command line" switches when they are
             actually coming from the #! line of the script itself (as read by perl)
             as they must have been written by the owner of the script, rather than
             being crafted by the user manipulating the command line, and therefore
             cannot be subverted. (Or alternatively, can be subverted as easily as
             the rest of the script, and we're permitting *that* to be run)
             
             [ 27075]
             And as we've now got to the point where all calls to Perl_moreswitches
             have -1 as the second argument, we can remove the second argument,
             which gets us back to where we started, only with the elimination of
             a per-thread variable.
             
             [ 27076]
             S_find_beginning is only called from one place, so by hoisting the
             forbid_setid check for -x into the caller, we can eliminate the
             suidscript parameter from S_find_beginning.

             Add a missing FREETMPS to match up with a SAVETMPS.  This change
             fixes problems with nested sorts.  (RTs #7063 and #36430).
             
             [ 26361]
             Again, FREETMPS not SAVETMPS!
             
             [ 26362]
             Reverting change #26360 and #26361 since it appears that the bugs I
             thought I fixed had been previously fixed with change #25953.

             socketpair.t was written in 2001. At that time, Test::More got confused
             if you forked under it. Test::More 0.47 added support to detect forking
             which resolves this. Hence there is now no need to fork() in a BEGIN
             block, which causes issues on Win32 due to how pseudofork works.

             If you return void from a filter subroutine, the caller's status is
             used. If not, your last statement is the return value, and if it keeps
             being +ve you'll never hit EOF.

             I believe that it makes little sense for the simple user filters
             provided by coderefs to be run in block mode. Hence always read from

             The Windows compile() and link() methods bizarrely include their own
             output files in the list of files to be cleaned up.  Now that they
             actually are being cleaned up, this isn't ideal ;-)

             Replace all the S_more_* functions with a single function.

             Making more_* return a pointer, and swapping to a ternary ?: in
             new_* seems to generate slightly terser object code.

             The if() clause is the wrong way round, so OOK can never be true in
             this case. Given that OOK is never undone, we could never have been
             correctly upgrading a PV with OOK to HV or AV. I believe that only
             SVt_NULL is the only type ever upgraded to HV or AV.
