I'm working out the details of using the new CLONE_SKIP feature. I was thinking that it'd be useful to make a new branch for tha purpose. The main problem is that at the moment we can't run the new tests conditionally, since there is nothing to condition the support for CLONE_SKIP :(
sure, go ahead and create a new branch. I hope this one merges better, though ;)
Me too :) should we call it 'ithreads'?
svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/perl/modperl/branches/ithreads?
Another issue is Apache::Test, which needs a better Test::More/Test::Builder support than we have now (due to threads issues). And potentially as discussed before we many bundle Test::More with A-T or mp2. So it'd be nice to work out those details in that branch too. Or do we need a separate branch for A-T?
well, here's my thought.
if we include Test::More then I would suggest dumping Test.pm support altogether and focus on getting things right with T::M. I don't think, however, that we can dump Test.pm unless we bundle T::M with the distribution, though, since it leaves 5.00503 users needing to install additional modules...
I think 5.005_0x is a history now. At least I've noticed that more and more modules on CPAN no longer bother to support it. I've stopped trying to support it in my modules, where it relies on other modules which already don't support it.
Once we have the branch others can test whether things work for them.
yeah, a new branch for yanking out Test.pm is probably best. but if development is in parallel (such that Test.pm and Test::More are A-T options and users can choose) then we can probably just tack it on to trunk.
personally I'm very much in favor of dumping Test.pm if we can make Test::Builder do what we need.
Well, we can't yank Test.pm, because we need special straps under mod_perl. such as 'plan $r, ...'. Though we could make Test.pm a proper subclass of Test::More.
