[perl -#115796] +A bug in the core typemap caused any C types that map to the T_BOOL core +typemap entry to not be set, updated, or modified when the T_BOOL variable was +used in an OUTPUT: section with an exception for RETVAL. T_BOOL in an INPUT: +section was not affected. Using a T_BOOL return type for an XSUB (RETVAL) +was not affected. A side effect of fixing this bug is, if a T_BOOL is specified +in the OUTPUT: section (which previous did nothing to the SV), and a read only +SV (literal) is passed to the XSUB, croaks like "Modification of a read-only +value attempted" will happen.
