317 Move the PERLVAR(Ireentrant_buffer, REENTR*) outside the ITHREADS
318 block. This allows the re-entrant API to be used with ithreads,
319 which in turn permits -Dusethreads -Uuseithreads -Uuse5005threads

321 without enabling ithreads)

505 plus change croak to Perl_croak_nocontext to make ithread safe
506 plus make it conditional on PERL_MALLOC_WRAP (default for blead is on)
509 Try to fix the AIX and Windows builds regarding the
510 definedness of the PL_memory_wrap symbol.
516 Make usemallocwrap a Configure-time question. Default is yes for
517 usedevel, no otherwise, but I'm expecting hints files on known
518 good platforms to override this. (and known bad)
519 Demonstration hints file for darwin.
522 Export PL_memory_wrap based on PERL_MALLOC_WRAP rather than
523 NO_MALLOC_WRAP following Configure changes. Identical patch to
524 mine supplied by Steve Hay while I was working on this.
525 IP shootout at dawn :-)
528 Unlike perl, 0 in void context isn't special cased in C :-)
529 (So it warns). Tweak the no-action malloc wrap checkers to avoid

1087 hv_clear_placeholders now manipulates the linked lists directly, rather
1088 than using the iterator interface and calling hv_delete
1089 This will allow hv_delete to be simplified to remove most of the
1090 special casing related to placeholders.
1093 Now hv_delete is able to ingore placeholders.
1094 (This is an XS visible change in the hash API. But not of documented
1098 deleting keys in restricted hashes was leaking the entry. Yow!
1101 Comment to record why we can't clear placeholders in hsplit
1104 My re-implementation of hv_clear_placeholders was buggy - not sure why
1105 the tests still passed. Fixed.
1108 In hsplit, if a normal hash has placeholders then clear them before
1109 splitting. We can do this safely because Storable ensures hsplit is
1110 not called while it builds restricted hashes (actually any hashes)
1111 This change may not make things faster, but now we have the choice.

1201 make minitest passes a -minitest flag to t/TEST
1202 t/TEST sees this and sets $ENV{PERL_CORE_MINITEST}
1203 Tests can choose to skip based on this.

1564 Returning a closure from a thread (via join) could mess up because
1565 pointers to PL_sv_undef weren't rejigged to point at the joiner's
1566 version of PL_sv_undef. Also, the closure's CvGV got cloned too

2076 Some mandatory syntax warnings emitted by the lexer weren't
2077 disableable (bug [perl #24815]).
2080 [perl #25147] C<use strict; print if foo> didn't give the
2081 "Bareword not allowed" error unless warnings were enabled

2088 Fix bug #24813 : the -0 wasn't recognized on the #! line
2091 Hardcoded numerical flag masks. Bad.
2094 use sv_setpvn rather than sv_setpv and save a strlen()
2097 buigid #24905 - the code planted to call glob() retained an
2098 extraneous targ index in a pushmark op, leasing to strangeness
2099 when the op was freed

2139 stop $^O getting tainted on read access, and disallow tainted
2143 change #22071 (taint bug in $^0) introduced a potential double
2144 free(), because PL_osname may get freed but not nulled if a taint
2145 test fails in between. Mea cupla and all that...
