PP generates some duff code with multithreading enabled

2004-05-08 Thread Ed Wildgoose
Please try the following snippet through pp.  It executes fine, but 
crashes when the app exits (at least on win32, havent tried linux yet).  
I would be really grateful if someone could help debug this - it's the 
last major bug standing in the way of packaging my little email app with 
par.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use threads;
use threads::shared;
print Cras\n;
## fails to exit cleanly after this...
Thanks for any help.

P.S. Autrijus, I will try to check it out myself, but in the latest 
pre-release did you check in Alan Stewarts changes to fix the --icon 
problem where it increases the file size?  I have just been retesting 
his version and it does seem to work fine for me?

Thanks

Have you tested for both 5.6.x and 5.8.x?  I have only tested 5.8.x
and it breaks here. :-/

I tested on 5.6.1 (ActivePerl build 635) and 5.8.3 (ActivePerl build 509). In what way 
does it break for you?

 Nope, just downloaded 5.8.3 (809) and its the same.  Can I check what 
 you did:
 
 - save the above snippet as crashtest.pl.  Run pp crashtest.pl, then 
 run a.exe
 
 It prints Cras and then there is a windows protection fault thingy 
 box.  This is on WinXP, but my limited testing suggests that it appears 
 on other versions as well.

Did the same with no fault here, build 809, XP, and the latest snap of PAR compiled 
with VC 6. Are you self compiling PAR or using the binary download?

 Works fine for me on windows XP Pro, using perl  v5.8.3 built for
 MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

 C:\Documents and Settings\malcolm\My Documents\proj_pp_testingtype aa.pl
 #!/usr/bin/perl

 use threads::shared;

Another test, where I use a simple pl file to execute the exe made from your
requested code.

C:\Documents and Settings\malcolm\My Documents\proj_pp_testingtype
aa_test_app.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

if (system(aa.exe)) {
  print (Could not system aa.exe\n);
} else {
  print (Success with system aa.exe\n);
}

C:\Documents and Settings\malcolm\My
Documents\proj_pp_testingaa_test_app.pl
Cras
Success with system aa.exe
