The memory for variables is not allocated for DB::DB reentrance

[KES]

Hi, I am trying to write perl debugger which will allow to debug debugger commands. So I play with '$^D |= (1<<30)' much.
This allows me to reenter DB::DB and do my staff.

Here is minified example which shows that memory for '$x' variable is not allocated again for DB::DB reentrance.

$ cat t3.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl

sub t0 {}

1;



$ cat Devel/DB.pm
package DB;

use strict;
use warnings;

our $level = 0;

sub DB {
my $x = 0;
$x += $level;
print ">LEVEL: $level; VALUE: $x", \$x,"\n";
local $level = $level +1;
$^D |= (1<<30) if $level < 3;
main::t0();
print "<LEVEL: $level; VALUE: $x", \$x,"\n";
return;
}

1;


$ perl -I. -d:DB t3.pl
>LEVEL: 0; VALUE: 0SCALAR(0x1ceb008)
>LEVEL: 1; VALUE: 1SCALAR(0x1ceb008)
>LEVEL: 2; VALUE: 2SCALAR(0x1ceb008)
<LEVEL: 3; VALUE: 2SCALAR(0x1ceb008)
Use of uninitialized value $x in concatenation (.) or string at Devel/DB.pm line 15.
<LEVEL: 2; VALUE: SCALAR(0x1ceb008)
Use of uninitialized value $x in concatenation (.) or string at Devel/DB.pm line 15.
<LEVEL: 1; VALUE: SCALAR(0x1ceb008)

Here we see that for each reentrance the address of $x pointer same place.

mst guess: that my weird reentrancy means the 'sub DB' pad stack isn't getting pushed to allocate a new pad

Is this a bug?
May someone advice workaround for this until this will be fixed?
Thanks.

Seems I found workaround:

package DB;

use strict;
use warnings;

our $level = 0;

sub test {

my $x = 0;
$x += $level;
print ">LEVEL: $level; VALUE: $x", \$x,"\n";
local $level = $level +1;
$^D |= (1<<30) if $level < 3;
main::t0();
print "<LEVEL: $level; VALUE: $x", \$x,"\n";
return;
}

sub DB {
test();

}

1;


$ perl -I. -d:DB t3.pl

>LEVEL: 0; VALUE: 0SCALAR(0xd05008)
>LEVEL: 1; VALUE: 1SCALAR(0xcfb6c8)
>LEVEL: 2; VALUE: 2SCALAR(0xd29ea8)
<LEVEL: 3; VALUE: 2SCALAR(0xd29ea8)
<LEVEL: 2; VALUE: 1SCALAR(0xcfb6c8)
<LEVEL: 1; VALUE: 0SCALAR(0xd05008)
