| Subject: | Assertion problems in 0.79 |
A couple of problems with the PERL_ARGS_ASSERT_PRESCAN_VERSION assertion
in 0.79:
1. saw_period has been renamed elsewhere in the code to saw_decimal,
resulting in "undefined" errors in the resulting C code
2. assert(strict) is a problem since the only use of this macro is in a
call from vutil.c in which "strict" is explicitly set to FALSE.
Attached patch fixes these problems for me; I'm seeing the problems on
lots of old versions of Fedora/Red Hat Enterprise Linux, though somehow
it seems to build OK on more up to date releases.
