Bug #102056 for Time-Format_XS: HiRes time bug for Time-Format_XS-1.03 on RHEL 6.6

Was attempting to get Time::Format_XS working on a RHEL 6.6 guest and noticed that it looses hires timing when using the XS module. Microseconds return as all zeros. Without XS when using pure perl it functions as expected. I could not replicate the behavior on other linux variants even when installed from same tgz files. I tested on a variety of Linux Mint and Ubuntu distributions. All performed correctly. My test script and output are below the system details. I also have some RHEL 4.4, 4.5, 4.8, 6.4, 6.5, and 6.6 systems available to me for testing if interested. I'd make an attempt at a fix myself but I haven't touched c code in probably 15+ years now.. Thanks and regards, Steve Module: Time-Format_XS-1.03 [root@rh6-template] Log-File-2.11.00 $ uname -a Linux rh6-template.amer.csc.com 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 19 12:09:25 EST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@rh6-template] Log-File-2.11.00 $ perl -V Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 10 subversion 1) configuration: Platform: osname=linux, osvers=2.6.18-398.el5, archname=x86_64-linux-thread-multi uname='linux x86-022.build.eng.bos.redhat.com 2.6.18-398.el5 #1 smp tue aug 12 06:26:17 edt 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 gnulinux ' config_args='-des -Doptimize=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -DDEBUGGING=-g -Dversion=5.10.1 -Dmyhostname=localhost -Dperladmin=root@localhost -Dcc=gcc -Dcf_by=Red Hat, Inc. -Dprefix=/usr -Dvendorprefix=/usr -Dsiteprefix=/usr/local -Dsitelib=/usr/local/share/perl5 -Dsitearch=/usr/local/lib64/perl5 -Dprivlib=/usr/share/perl5 -Darchlib=/usr/lib64/perl5 -Dvendorlib=/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl -Dvendorarch=/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl -Dinc_version_list=5.10.0 -Darchname=x86_64-linux-thread-multi -Dlibpth=/usr/local/lib64 /lib64 /usr/lib64 -Duseshrplib -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Duselargefiles -Dd_dosuid -Dd_semctl_semun -Di_db -Ui_ndbm -Di_gdbm -Di_shadow -Di_syslog -Dman3ext=3pm -Duseperlio -Dinstallusrbinperl=n -Ubincompat5005 -Uversiononly -Dpager=/usr/bin/less -isr -Dd_gethostent_r_proto -Ud_endhostent_r_proto -Ud_sethostent_r_proto -Ud_endprotoent_r_proto -Ud_setprotoent_r_proto -Ud_endservent_r_proto -Ud_setservent_r_proto -Dscriptdir=/usr/bin -Dusesitecustomize' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define useithreads=define, usemultiplicity=define useperlio=define, d_sfio=undef, uselargefiles=define, usesocks=undef use64bitint=define, use64bitall=define, uselongdouble=undef usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef Compiler: cc='gcc', ccflags ='-D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64', optimize='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic', cppflags='-D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -I/usr/local/include' ccversion='', gccversion='4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-9)', gccosandvers='' intsize=4, longsize=8, ptrsize=8, doublesize=8, byteorder=12345678 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=16 ivtype='long', ivsize=8, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize=8 alignbytes=8, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='gcc', ldflags =' -fstack-protector' libpth=/usr/local/lib64 /lib64 /usr/lib64 libs=-lresolv -lnsl -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc perllibs=-lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc libc=, so=so, useshrplib=true, libperl=libperl.so gnulibc_version='2.12' Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags='-Wl,-E -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE' cccdlflags='-fPIC', lddlflags='-shared -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: MULTIPLICITY PERL_DONT_CREATE_GVSV PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT PERL_MALLOC_WRAP USE_64_BIT_ALL USE_64_BIT_INT USE_ITHREADS USE_LARGE_FILES USE_PERLIO USE_REENTRANT_API USE_SITECUSTOMIZE Built under linux Compiled at Nov 6 2014 07:57:41 @INC: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .
