I've just installed perl 5.8.1 and while trying to reinstall DBD::Informix,
I've come across this compile error on Solaris 7:
~/src/perlmod/DBD-Informix-2003.04/ make
INFORMIXC="/usr/local/bin/perl esqlcc" ESQLCC="gcc" esql -c -shared
-I/usr/informix/incl/esql -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/sun4-solaris/auto/DBI
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/sun4-solaris/auto/DBI -I/auto/DBI
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/sun4-solaris/auto/DBI -fno-strict-aliasing
-I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O
-DVERSION=\"2003.04\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2003.04\" -fPIC
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/sun4-solaris/CORE -DESQLC_VERSION=950 -DNDEBUG dbdimp.ec
dbdimp.ec: In function `dbd_ix_st_fetch':
dbdimp.ec:2064: parse error before `}'
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `dbdimp.o'
I've traced the source of the compile error back to the SvOK_off macro
inside sv.h. It was changed between perl 5.8.0 and perl 5.8.1, redefining
SvOK_off
#define SvOK_off(sv) (SvFLAGS(sv) &= ~(SVf_OK|SVf_AMAGIC| \
SVf_IVisUV|SVf_UTF8), \
SvOOK_off(sv))
as
#define SvOK_off(sv) (assert_not_ROK(sv) \
SvFLAGS(sv) &= ~(SVf_OK|SVf_AMAGIC| \
SVf_IVisUV|SVf_UTF8), \
SvOOK_off(sv))
I ran across the same compile error when trying to compile
an older DBD::Informix (1.04.PC1), so it does appear to be a problem
with any calls made to SvOK_off under this system.
Perhaps simply removing the assert_not_ROK() macro call from sv.h would be good
enough? Though I'm not certain about the full impact that would have.
Any thoughts? Or am I a fool for installing perl 5.8.1 without waiting for
module authors to catch up?
