Re: PP generates some duff code with multithreading enabled
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? Downloading the binaries of PAR. Has been like this for the last few versions though. I do have VC .Net here. I will try and compile PAR myself with that and see if anything changes Thanks Ed W

Re: PP generates some duff code with multithreading enabled
Thanks Alan, You are right that something strange is going on here. I ran the aa.exe that the.noonings created, and it runs fine on my machine. Coupled with what you say below that my exe is crashing on your machine suggests something strange going on with my par install. The original install was done after perl 5.8.2 was installed, and was either done using the precompiled download, or slightly possibly from the activestate download (I think the former though). Now that I rebuilt 0.80 from source it doesn't crash, on my little test program, but more complicated stuff is failing, so I think I need to re-install all my perl modules (wxwindows, etc). Will report back after that. Thanks everyone Ed W I see several things, but I can't put them together yet.

Re: PP generates some duff code with multithreading enabled
Hmm, OK, well I have rebuild PAR 0.80 from source, and re-installed wxperl and now everything is working fine... I'm fairly sure that if I re-installed the binary version of par then this would re-occur though. Any ideas why? Thanks all. This is a major improvement for me. I still have quite a few bugs, but not sure how best to announce them, since I don't have good reproducable cases for most of them. For example, I manually build an intermediate par file, then remove the Wx dll's, then build the exe. However, if the Wx dlls aren't then in the patch when I run the final exe, something goes mad, consumes all available ram in the machine until it falls over in a heap... If I build the exe without --gui then the last thing I see on the console is the message about being unable to locate loadable object for module Wx in To be fair this may not be a par issue at all... I didn't think to check what happens normally if I just delete the dll's Ooops, will go and do that next! Thanks again Ed W
PP generates some duff code with multithreading enabled
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. Ed W 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

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

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);
}

Success with system aa.exe
