# New Ticket Created by Bram Geron # Please include the string: [perl #43462] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=43462 > Firstly, there are some clearups in <clearups.patch>, I think they're self-explanatory. Thank you; applied as r19529. Secondly, I discovered that when you're using -D80, Parrot_free_context prints out the name of the 'sub' that the context was made for . . . I got a segfault for it, but my test case is too large to attach and I think it will be hard to get the size down. It isn't very legible anyway. You should never be able to make PIR segfault; I will look into this. If you wouldn't mind sending your test case, that might save me some trouble. To solve this we can omit printing the sub name in Parrot_free_context. A patch that does this is in <context.patch>. Using -D80 does become less legible, but I think we prefer more correct behavior. Thanks, -- Bram Geron | GPG 0xE7B9E65E It is really useful to print the sub name, especially when there are lots of contexts flying around. (For the record, I'm the one who changed it to do so.) The 0xdeadbeef test was trying to work around subs that were prematurely garbage-collected; I will try to fix this first. -- Bob Rogers http://rgrjr.dyndns.org/
