This is a bug report for perl from ailin@​devio.us,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.26.2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

xsubpp generates code that cannot be used from Perl, if prototypes are
used together with an OUTLIST parameter. See the following example
code​:

  #define PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT

  MODULE = Test PACKAGE = Test
  PROTOTYPES​: ENABLE

  int
  s_c_f_w(str, width, OUTLIST bytes)
  char *str
  unsigned int width
  unsigned int bytes
  C_ARGS​:
  str, width, &bytes
 
If compiled, results in​:

  $ xsubpp Test.xs

  XS_EUPXS(XS_Test_s_c_f_w); /* prototype to pass -Wmissing-prototypes */
  XS_EUPXS(XS_Test_s_c_f_w)
  {
  dVAR; dXSARGS;
  if (items != 2)
  croak_xs_usage(cv, "str, width");
  {
  ...

  (void)newXSproto_portable("Test​::s_c_f_w", XS_Test_s_c_f_w, file, "$$$");
  ...

The prototype is set as `$$$' but the items is checked for being
2. Note, the items check is correct and the prototype should be `$$'.

This should be fixed by 028027e.
