Subject:

Perl_fold_constants is not available anymore

AutoXS does not compile anymore with recent perls (5.11.x and newer). The error message says: Undefined symbol "Perl_fold_constants" I found a commit message in perl's git which suggests that this function is not available anymore to the public: commit b7783a124ffeaab87679eba041dd9997f4d5372a Author: Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org> Date: Wed Nov 26 19:36:06 2008 +0000 force_list(), fold_constants() and gen_constant_list() can be static. Regards, Slaven

It seems that there are plans that fold_constants should go into the public API. See http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=56536 Regards, Slaven

Hi Slaven, thanks for reporting the issue. It's actually due to B::Generate using fold_constants. AutoXS isn't even using XS :) Best regards, Steffen
