Subject:

Doesn't compile on 5.8.8

Trying to debug a memory leak issue on POE on 5.8.8 on SLC5 (RHEL5 more or less), I stumbled upon the following error while trying to install Devel::SizeMe: /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap SizeMe.xs > SizeMe.xsc && mv SizeMe.xsc SizeMe.c gcc -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -Wdeclaration-after-statement -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gdbm -g -DVERSION=\"0.06\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.06\" -fPIC "-I/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE" -DALIGN_BITS=3 SizeMe.c SizeMe.xs:231: error: ‘SVt_LAST’ undeclared here (not in a function) SizeMe.xs: In function ‘np_print_node_name’: SizeMe.xs:280: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘Perl_custom_op_name’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type SizeMe.xs: In function ‘magic_size’: SizeMe.xs:685: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code SizeMe.xs: In function ‘sv_size’: SizeMe.xs:1126: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code SizeMe.xs:1328: warning: passing argument 5 of ‘st->add_attr_cb’ makes pointer from integer without a cast SizeMe.xs:1390: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size make: *** [SizeMe.o] Error 1 Unfortunately, I do not have the perl internal skills to debug that, but I'll be happy to help anyone wanting to have a look.

I get the same problem unless I install DBI first. Does DBD::SQLite fail to install with an error about DBI 1.57 being required? If that’s the case, it’s the same problem that I patched in <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=57789>, which was rejected.

Babar, can you try my branch https://github.com/rgs/devel-sizeme which should compile on all 5.8.* (at the cost of removing some information about "our" variables)

I've merged Rafaël's patch into master on github. Please let me know if it works for you.

I believe this is fixed now (cpantesters reports success on 5.8.9 at least)
