Re: [Templates] XS Stash DOES support tied objects

[Stephen Howard]

That's great.  Be sure to let us know when there's a developer release 
available to test.  I've been dying to have the XS stash available for 
my work for the longest time, since I was always under the impression 
that tied variables were broken there.

It turns out my "fixes" introduced a memory leak.  How do I know?
Because t/leak.t told me so.  :-)

In my defence, I was doing what perlguts told me to do (increment the
ref count before storing a hash/list item, and decrement it if the 
hv_store() / av_store() method returns NULL).  But whatever perlguts
said, the code was wrong.  

Removing the offending ref count updates made t/leak.t happy, thereby
demonstrating that the XS Stash now does the same thing as the Perl 
version, but faster.  Job done, I can now go out skateboarding.  

Needless to say, I can't stress enough how important it is to have a 
thorough test suite for your software.  Spend all day debugging, or 
go out skating?  Easy choice  :-)

All Hail the Test Suite!
