Bug #123115 for Event: calling memset() with a NULL pointer

Sat Sep 23 15:45:42 2017 ANDK [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

calling memset() with a NULL pointer

Cross reference: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=132094 Executive summary: Event fails with recent bleadperls when those were compiled with -DDEBUGGING. The author of the commit v5.27.3-31-gf14cf36320 claims that a newly introduce assert() detects a memset issue in Event. Thanks,

Hi Andreas, Thanks for the report! Is there an easy-to-consume repro case? I couldn't see it in this or the cross-linked report? Ed

Run Configure with -DEBUGGING=both so that your perl compiles with -DDEBUGGING. Do this with bleadperl v5.27.3-31-gf14cf36320 or later. You will see the tests failing as in http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/a4656f24-92a0-11e7-a6e8-4c7815098ed7 -- andreas

Thanks for the excellent report. Just uploaded 1.27 which seems to fix this!
