CPAN testers will tell you whether EU::CB passes its own tests or not, but the error this fixes isn't amenable to CPAN-testers finding it and correctly reporting it fixed. The problem is that without this some XS modules that use EU::CB will fail to build. And then the testers will go "oh, it didn't build, I won't report anything at all". That's because most build failures are something like the testing machine not having some C library installed that the XS module depends on and so shouldn't generate a failure report. To verify that this patched release is correct people need to, manually, do this on Mac OS Catalina with the latest XCode: * with the previous version of EU::CB installed, find something XSy that uses it, and which fails to build because of -Werror=implicit-function-declaration * then install this new EU::CB and make sure that the build now succeeds. -- David Cantrell | Enforcer, South London Linguistic Massive
