Subject: reading tied scalar shrinks it
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:19:34 +0100
To: bug-Devel-Size [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Zefram <zefram [...] fysh.org>
One of Devel-Size's tests, for a tied scalar visibly growing when the underlying tie object grows, is failing on Perl 5.19.3 because an earlier read of the scalar clears its PV buffer, causing the scalar to shrink. Attached patch makes the test allow for such shrinkage. -zefram

Message body is not shown because sender requested not to inline it.

Is this perl #119295? If so, thank you. (If not, thank you anyway. :-)

Looks like the same failure mode, but reported for a different module. Is Devel::SizeMe a fork of Devel::Size? The kind of fix that I produced for Devel::Size would probably also work for Devel::SizeMe. -zefram

Ping. Still broken all the way through 5.19.11. Can we please get this fixed before 5.20 ships? http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Devel-Size+0.79

Thanks applied. Along with your other patch, uploaded to CPAN as 0.79_50. I'm aware that the uploaded version still fails some other tests on some versions.
