Greetings. A few updates...
i) modperl-2.0_20020514042137.tar.gz Now tests cleanly on: WinNT SP6/MSDEV 6 SP3/AS perl 5.6.1 b630/httpd-2.0_20020506161223.tar.gz ii) It does however crash on my testbed app (which runs as standard CGI, FastCGI and moperl1). The crash itself appears to happen when a number of nearly-simultaneous requests arrive to the server and is fatal to modperl (but the static-serving part of apache appears to survive) iia) On non-debug modperl in post-mortem examination within msdev I have been able to observe a seemingly incorrect r->pool thingy (casted to "something else" within table related <something>_palloc) triggering the segfault. iib) I then set out to build a debug version. That ain't easy.... I finally got it with semiautomatic Makefile mangling: perl Makefile.PL MP_INST_APACHE2=1 MP_AP_PREFIX="D:\Apache2" MP_GENERATE_XS=1 MP_DEBUG=1 MP_TRACE=1 find . -name Makefile -print | xargs perl -spi.bak -e "s/-O1//g;s/-DNDEBUG//g;s/-release/-DEBUG -PDB:vc60.pdb/g;" nmake [Explanation: the generated Makefiles have sequences of -O1 -Od -O1 *AND* the linkline misses the critical -DEBUG option. the PDB and -DNDEBUG things may not be needed.] After this the crash location moves (darn) and the debugger brings me in a location with nothing obviously wrong in sight. It is wedged on modperl_get_perl_module_config, called from XS_Apache_RequestRec_send_cgi_header etc. etc. Note: After switching to the debug version, I have started seeing apache errors - Your script did not blah blah - that were not there before, coupled to diagnostics from ModPerl::Registry complaining about not being able to call send_cgi_header on an undefined value. This may be significant. I will sendo more info when I have it... Cheers, alf
