Re: Inline and -T

By my thinking, if Inline offers that UNTAINT option, it should work as
intended. If it doesn't work as intended it should be either fixed or
removed. (I just wish someone else would fix it, that's all :-)

If you want I'll take a look at it.

I wasn't really trying to enlist help, and I'm sure I'll get to the bottom 
of it eventually. It's really just a matter of working through Inline and 
Inline::C and finding out what UNTAINT is actually doing. Unfortunately 
running test programs don't really seem to help, because things just fail 
without producing any diagnostic output. And I keep allowing myself to be 
distracted by other things, which also doesn't help much.

Patrick, of course, if you're interested, by all means take a look ... I'm 
certainly not one to refuse assistance :-)

As a little appetiser, I ran this *without* -T (just to try and see what 
UNTAINT is doing):

##########################
use warnings;
use Inline Config =>
#    BUILD_NOISY => 1,
   UNTAINT => 1,
   SAFEMODE => 0;


use Inline C => <<'EOC';

void greet() {
    printf("Hello World\n");
}

EOC

greet();
##########################

It dies at the 'perl Makefile.PL' step:

##########################
A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your 
Inline
C code. The command that failed was:
 c:\perl510_M\5.10.0\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL > out.Makefile_PL 2>&1

The build directory was:
C:\_32\pscrpt\inline\_Inline\build\taint_pl_f071

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the output 
files.

at taint.pl line 8
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at taint.pl line 14.
##########################

There are no useful output files - INLINE.h, Makefile.PL and 
taint_pl_f071.xs are the only files there and they all look fine.

Seems like it's the redirection to file that's causing the problem because, 
if I include the BUILD_NOISY option, the script then dies at the 'make' 
stage:

##########################

A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your 
Inline
C code. The command that failed was:
 dmake

The build directory was:
C:\_32\pscrpt\inline\_Inline\build\taint_pl_f071

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the output 
files.

at taint.pl line 8
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at taint.pl line 14.
##########################

Again, there is no useful output file to inspect.
Anyway ... it surely can't be all that difficult to work out ... time to 
"stop talking about it and do something" :-)
