Bug #20010 for B-XPath: Doesn't work on threaded perl

Subject:

Doesn't work on threaded perl

B::XPath doesn't currently work on threaded perl. Do you have plans to add that support or not? I recently added some sv_harder and gv_harder methods to B::Lint to allow it to work on threaded perl. Perhaps the same thing can happen here. Or if I add the methods to B would you use them? I've also a thought to add them to B::Utils so that older B modules can get these methods as well. Your thoughts are requested, Josh

Thanks for the ticket. I don't know what it would take to make B::XPath work here; as far as I know, you're the only other person who's used it. If you make the methods available (or better yet, send a patch and a short description of what to do), I'm happy to support threaded builds. B::Utils sounds like a good choice. -- c
