/* 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.

       If either argument hasn't had a numeric conversion yet attempt to get
       the IV. It's important to do this now, rather than just assuming that
       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
       public IOK flag if the value in the NV (or PV) slot is truly integer.

       A side effect is that this also aggressively prefers integer maths over
       fp maths for integer values.

       How to detect overflow?

       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

 * with copies. All these copies are made before the actual list assign is
 * done.
 *
 * For example in ($a,$b) = ($b,$a), assigning the value of the first RHS
 * element ($b) to the first LH element ($a), modifies $a; when the
 * second assignment is done, the second RH element now has the wrong
 * value. So we initially replace the RHS with ($b, copy($a)).
 * Note that we don't need to make a copy of $b.
 *
 * The algorithm below works by, for every RHS element, mark the
 * corresponding LHS target element with SVf_BREAK. Then if the RHS
 * element is found with SVf_BREAK set, it means it would have been
 * modified, so make a copy.
 * Note that by scanning both LHS and RHS in lockstep, we avoid
 * unnecessary copies (like $b above) compared with a naive
 * "mark all LHS; copy all marked RHS; unmark all LHS".
 *
 * If the LHS element is a 'my' declaration' and has a refcount of 1, then
 * it can't be common and can be skipped.
 *
 * On DEBUGGING builds it takes an extra boolean, fake. If true, it means
 * that we thought we didn't need to call S_aassign_copy_common(), but we
 * have anyway for sanity checking. If we find we need to copy, then panic.

             *    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*
             * used in the hash branch below, however).
             *
             *
             * The net effect of this next block of code (apart from
             * optimisations and aliasing) is to make a copy of each
             * *relem and store the new SV both in the array and back on
             * the *relem slot of the stack, overwriting the original.
             * This new list of SVs will later be either returned
             * (G_LIST), or popped.
             *
             * Note that under PERL_RC_STACK builds most of this
             * complexity can be thrown away: things can be kept alive on
             * the argument stack without involving the temps stack. In

             * processed from there, rather than their pointers being

           This allows us to simply add logical_nparens to logical_paren to

/*
A description of how taint works in pattern matching and substitution.

This is all conditional on NO_TAINT_SUPPORT remaining undefined (the default).
Under NO_TAINT_SUPPORT, taint-related operations should become no-ops.

While the pattern is being assembled/concatenated and then compiled,
PL_tainted will get set (via TAINT_set) if any component of the pattern
is tainted, e.g. /.*$tainted/.  At the end of pattern compilation,
the RXf_TAINTED flag is set on the pattern if PL_tainted is set (via
TAINT_get).  It will also be set if any component of the pattern matches
based on locale-dependent behavior.

When the pattern is copied, e.g. $r = qr/..../, the SV holding the ref to
the pattern is marked as tainted. This means that subsequent usage, such
as /x$r/, will set PL_tainted using TAINT_set, and thus RXf_TAINTED,
on the new pattern too.

RXf_TAINTED_SEEN is used post-execution by the get magic code
of $1 et al to indicate whether the returned value should be tainted.
It is the responsibility of the caller of the pattern (i.e. pp_match,
pp_subst etc) to set this flag for any other circumstances where $1 needs
to be tainted.

The taint behaviour of pp_subst (and pp_substcont) is quite complex.

There are three possible sources of taint
    * the source string
    * the pattern (both compile- and run-time, RXf_TAINTED / RXf_TAINTED_SEEN)
    * the replacement string (or expression under /e)
    
There are four destinations of taint and they are affected by the sources
according to the rules below:

    * the return value (not including /r):
        tainted by the source string and pattern, but only for the
        number-of-iterations case; boolean returns aren't tainted;
    * the modified string (or modified copy under /r):
        tainted by the source string, pattern, and replacement strings;
    * $1 et al:
        tainted by the pattern, and under 'use re "taint"', by the source
        string too;
    * PL_taint - i.e. whether subsequent code (e.g. in a /e block) is tainted:
        should always be unset before executing subsequent code.

The overall action of pp_subst is:

    * at the start, set bits in rxtainted indicating the taint status of
        the various sources.

    * After each pattern execution, update the SUBST_TAINT_PAT bit in
        rxtainted if RXf_TAINTED_SEEN has been set, to indicate that the
        pattern has subsequently become tainted via locale ops.

    * If control is being passed to pp_substcont to execute a /e block,
        save rxtainted in the CXt_SUBST block, for future use by
        pp_substcont.

    * Whenever control is being returned to perl code (either by falling
        off the "end" of pp_subst/pp_substcont, or by entering a /e block),
        use the flag bits in rxtainted to make all the appropriate types of
        destination taint visible; e.g. set RXf_TAINTED_SEEN so that $1
        et al will appear tainted.

pp_match is just a simpler version of the above.

     * On entry to grepwhile, the stack looks like this:

     *      =>   *  M1..Mn  X1  *  X2..Xn  C  *  R1..Rn  BOOL
     *       [-2]          [-1]           [0]

     *   X1..Xn   Random discardable elements from previous iterations.
     *   C        The current (just processed) arg, still aliased to $_.
     *   R1..Rn   The args remaining to be processed.
     *   BOOL     the result of the just-executed grep expression.
     *
     * Note that it is easiest to think of the top two stack marks as both
     * being one too high, and so it would make more sense to have had the
     * marks like this:
     *
     *      =>   *  M1..Mn  *  X1..Xn  *  C  R1..Rn  BOOL
     *      [-2]       [-1]        [0]

     *   - discarded,
     *   - being, or yet to be, processed.
     * But off-by-one is the way it is currently, and it works as long as

     *

     *
     * - for a match, replace the X1 pointer with a pointer to C and bump
     *     PL_markstack_ptr[-1]
     * - if more args to process, bump PL_markstack_ptr[0] and update the
     *     $_ alias, else

/* leave_adjust_stacks():

 * positioning them at to_sp+1 onwards, and do the equivalent of a
 * FREEMPS and TAINT_NOT.
 *
 * Not intended to be called in void context.
 *
 * When leaving a sub, eval, do{} or other scope, the things that need
 * doing to process the return args are:
 *    * in scalar context, only return the last arg (or PL_sv_undef if none);
 *    * for the types of return that return copies of their args (such
 *      as rvalue sub return), make a mortal copy of every return arg,
 *      except where we can optimise the copy away without it being
 *      semantically visible;
 *    * make sure that the arg isn't prematurely freed; in the case of an
 *      arg not copied, this may involve mortalising it. For example, in
 *      C<sub f { my $x = ...; $x }>, $x would be freed when we do
 *      CX_LEAVE_SCOPE(cx) unless it's protected or copied.
 *
 * What condition to use when deciding whether to pass the arg through
 * or make a copy, is determined by the 'pass' arg; its valid values are:
 *   0: rvalue sub/eval exit
 *   1: other rvalue scope exit
 *   2: :lvalue sub exit in rvalue context
 *   3: :lvalue sub exit in lvalue context and other lvalue scope exits
 *
 * There is a big issue with doing a FREETMPS. We would like to free any
 * temps created by the last statement which the sub executed, rather than
 * leaving them for the caller. In a situation where a sub call isn't
 * soon followed by a nextstate (e.g. nested recursive calls, a la
 * fibonacci()), temps can accumulate, causing memory and performance
 * issues.
 *
 * On the other hand, we don't want to free any TEMPs which are keeping
 * alive any return args that we skipped copying; nor do we wish to undo
 * any mortalising done here.
 *
 * The solution is to split the temps stack frame into two, with a cut
 * point delineating the two halves. We arrange that by the end of this
 * function, all the temps stack frame entries we wish to keep are in the
 * range  PL_tmps_floor+1.. tmps_base-1, while the ones to free now are in
 * the range  tmps_base .. PL_tmps_ix.  During the course of this
 * function, tmps_base starts off as PL_tmps_floor+1, then increases
 * whenever we find or create a temp that we know should be kept. In
 * general the stuff above tmps_base is undecided until we reach the end,
 * and we may need a sort stage for that.
 *
 * To determine whether a TEMP is keeping a return arg alive, every
 * arg that is kept rather than copied and which has the SvTEMP flag
 * set, has the flag temporarily unset, to mark it. At the end we scan
 * the temps stack frame above the cut for entries without SvTEMP and
 * keep them, while turning SvTEMP on again. Note that if we die before
 * the SvTEMPs flags are set again, its safe: at worst, subsequent use of
 * those SVs may be slightly less efficient.
 *
 * In practice various optimisations for some common cases mean we can
 * avoid most of the scanning and swapping about with the temps stack.
