BSON-v1.12.2-Fix-an-operator-preference.patch [PATCH] Fix an operator preference
Perl 5.42.0 started to warn:

Possible precedence problem between ! and string eq at /home/test/fedora/perl-BSON/perl-BSON-1.12.2-build/BSON-v1.12.2/blib/lib/BSON.pm line 99.

That was indeed a bug in the expression.		 =?UTF-8?q?Petr=20P=C3=ADsa=C5=99?= <ppisar@redhat.com> no 2025-07-15

t/mapping/double.t ...............
Dubious, test returned 6 (wstat 1536, 0x600)
Failed 6/39 subtests

The is caused by an optimiziation in 5.41.7:

When assigning from an SVt_IV into a SVt_NV (or vice versa),
providing that both are "bodyless" types, Perl_sv_setsv_flags will
now just change the destination type to match the source type.
Previously, an SVt_IV would have been upgraded to a SVt_PVNV to
store an NV, and an SVt_NV would have been upgraded to a SVt_PVIV to
store an IV. This change prevents the need to allocate - and later
free - the relevant body struct.

The new behavior is more consistent because
decode(encode({A => 3.14159})) now has both input and output NV. Users
who want the old behvior are advised to call "decode(, wrap_numbers
=> 1)" as documented in BSON.
