            Bug ID: 967463
           Summary: perl-5.18: SvTRUE returns wrong value
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: perl
          Severity: unspecified

There is a regression in SvTRUE macro. Expected value is:

$ perl -MScalar::Util=dualvar -le 'print $]; $a = dualvar 1, ""; print $a ?
"true" : "false";'
5.016003
false

This is broken in 5.18.0 and fixed with upstream commit:

commit 762dbf22cb22645771fc27b5d197fd40cbbd9da8

    [perl #118159] Make PVs take precedence in SvTRUE

    Commit 4bac9ae4 (probably inadvertently) changed SvTRUE to treat an SV
    with any of PVX, IVX or NVX having a true value as true.

    Traditionally, truth was based solely on stringification. The examina-
    tion of the SvIVX and SvNVX slots was for those cases where there was
    no string already and it could be deduced from IVX or NVX whether it
    would stringify as "0" or no (bugs with -0 aside).

    This changes things back to the way they have ‘always’ been.
