Subject: perl 5.23.5 simultaneous min,max wrong results
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:16:49 +1100
To: bug-Scalar-List-Utils [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Kevin Ryde <user42_kevin [...] yahoo.com.au>
In my build of perl 5.23.5 on recent debian i386 and its supplied List::Util 1.42_01, a program use strict; use List::Util 'min'; my $x = 7; my $y = 3; print "$x, $y\n"; ($x,$y) = (min($y), min($x)); print "$x, $y\n"; prints 7, 3 3, 3 where I expected it to be 7, 3 3, 7 which is what previous perl versions have given. I struck this digging around for https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=109700 I don't know if the fault lies in List::Util or in perl. Omitting the "min" so a plain swap ($x,$y) = ($y,$x) seems ok. Could something hairy happen on passing through min() ?

I have the same (unexpected) results on 5.23.5 built for darwin-2level.

I tried: - perl5.22.0 + Scalar-List-Utils from bleadperl (commit 869a96128d21fb7bfc6989e285158f95e53c8971) -> works as expected - perl5.23.5 + List::Util 1.42 from CPAN -> fails - perl5.23.2 -> fails - perl5.23.1 -> works So it looks like a perl problem (@ANDK: and it looks like a bisect candidate).

https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=126633 is related. I just posted a cross reference over there but it has not yet arrived. Still unfixed in current blead v5.23.5-182-gfacc1dc.

This should be fixed in blead now at v5.23.6-93-gc7052e9. Tony
