Re: [perl #36976] system() always returns -1 in forked child with SIG{CHLD}='IGNORE' in parent

Calls to system() in a forked child always return -1 if the parent has

Demonstrated by:
perl -e '$SIG{CHLD} = IGNORE; fork or sleep 0xbeef; print
system:.system(true).\n;'
prints: system:-1
When $SIG{CHLD} is set to IGNORE, wait(2) will return -1 [1]. Since
system returns the status as provided by wait and wait isn't providing a
status I think the -1 return is reasonable. Check $! when system
returns -1; in this case it will say No child processes (ECHILD).
The patch after my .sig addresses this in perlfunc.
[1] On Linux this is not true and wait(2) will ignore the IGNORE and
actually wait for the process to finish, returning the status and
pid. I personally don't think perl should support this behaviour.
?? But this bug report is for linux.

The patch after my .sig addresses this in perlfunc.
[1] On Linux this is not true and wait(2) will ignore the IGNORE and
actually wait for the process to finish, returning the status and

?? But this bug report is for linux.
Sorry, I wasn't paying close enough attention. And I wasn't very
clear anyway. I meant that perl shouldn't go out of its way to
accomodate strange behaviour that is neither SysVish or BSDish. But I
didn't really think about it because, of course, perl is just
returning whatever the system call returns so it is not going out of
its way.
My footnote was paraphrased from `man 2 wait` and IMO the described
behaviour is a bug. And it must have been a bug in someone else's
opinion too since wait/waitpid do not behave like that on Linux. At
least they don't for me with kernel 2.6.8 and a C program. They behave
the SysV way (return -1 and set ECHILD when SIG_IGN). I guess the man
page is out of date.
So perl is behaving exactly like the underlying system call. Sorry
for any confusion.

Re: [perl #36977] perl 5.8.7 Solaris Sparc compile error: no _ptr member in __FILE
Thanks Andy,
I did a make distclean and a ./Configure -d
-Dprefix=/localdisk/vahik/05septBuild and this time the compile passed
without any problem. Thanks for the help.
However when I installed (make install) the perl, I did not get perl5

How do I get the perl5?
Is perl5 a different application than perl?
In my system per5 - perl5.00503.
I read the README.sloris and it looks (to me) perl5 is the earlier
version of perl version 5. I tried man perl5 but there are no entries.
When I do a perl5 -help and perl -help, they both give very similar options.
I am asking these since I am trying to build mozilla and it wants a full
perl installation:
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for perl5... /opt/tools/bin/perl5
checking for minimum required perl version = 5.004... 5.00503
checking for full perl installation... no

Any help is most appreciated.

No. There is no standard perl5 application. There is perl, and there
are specific versions, such as perl5.8.7, but the standard perl
distribution doesn't install anything named 'perl5'.
In my system per5 - perl5.00503.
As far as I know, by default on Solaris, there is nothing installed by the
name 'perl5'. Someone, somewhere, must have made it. I can't say what
that 'perl5' thing you have is. The standard perl distribution doesn't
include it.

There appears to be a problem with /opt/tools/bin/perl5. You'd have to
ask whoever installed it why they didn't give you a full perl
installation.
I don't know the Mozilla configure script at all, but I'd expect that if
you make sure your newly-installed perl is first in your $PATH, then it
ought to find it just fine. Failing that, you could temporarily rename
the faulty /opt/tools/bin/perl5 file to something else and then re-run
Mozilla's configure.

It's quite possible that there's a strange, unnoticed bug in that. Nicholas Clark

However, perl on Lamp (Lamp ain't Mac POSIX) does not. Lamp provides environ, but it's managed by the kernel and for the user's purposes, read-only. Josh

It spawns a process to run SHOW LOGICAL * and then parses the output. If you don't see the first one doubled in there, then it must have something to do with how the cache is accessed the first time, probably in hv.c. -- Craig A.

If you don't see the first one doubled in there, then it must have something to do with how the cache is accessed the first time, probably in hv.c. I have fired up the VMS debugger. The output is not doubled. Also, the show logical output is not in the same order. What I have not learned how to do in the VMS debugger is how to look at what data type that Perl is looking at. The prime_env_iter() only does any real work the first time it is called. Since it works the second time, I am trying to figure out what is different between the first time and subsequent times. It appears that the absolute first time that keys() or values() or each() is called a pointer to the first element is not advancing, but after that everything is fine. Currently I do not know what variable or structure holds that element so I can track it's initial value and it's changes. -John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal Opinion Only
