Thanks. This problem is known and already fixed in the upcoming 1.19 release if IPC::Run is installed. If not the test still fails by eating all available memory. (An endless loop) Fix 1: test 12 fixed (cop_seq_low+high <=> double NVX) Fix 2: timeout when compiling and running the tests when IPC::Run is installed Fix 3: test 18 is now skipped on cc_*.t too More such tests are usually skipped, but with the failing tests 12 and 18 I was not sure. It was architecture dependent. -- Reini Urban

Gee, thanks! I just checked, IPC::Run is installed. I'll keep an eye out for 1.19!

You can also checkout svn svn checkout http://perl-compiler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ perl-compiler I only seem to have a new issue with evaltry with 5.12 to be. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/

"OOM situation": Out of memory (iu.e. endless loop in custom sort) errors with some known TODO tests are skipped at a non-author site. 4-5% of the top100 modules fail. B::Bytecode/ByteLoader is stable for 5.8 - 5.12, so marking it as resolved. -- Reini Urban
