| Subject: | Storable won't compile with DEBUGME macro declaration in perl 5.8.6 |
Tried on both MacOS X:
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
and RH Linux:
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i686-linux
Storable.xs from Storable-2.15 contains a DEBUGME macro that should enable lots of useful execution trace information. In the distribution, it is disabled by hiding the definition in a '#if 0' block. If you remove the hiding, the make operation will fail.

Storable.xs: In function `store_hook':
Storable.xs:3102: parse error before "void"
Storable.xs:3102: `nxpv' undeclared (first use in this function)
Storable.xs:3102: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Storable.xs:3102: for each function it appears in.)
Storable.xs:3102: parse error before ')' token

Storable.xs: At top level:

Storable.xs:3116: parse error before string constant
Storable.xs:3116: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
Storable.xs:3117: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
And so on with many parse errors.
