Bug#190887: the "sizeof" hash is missing
This is a far long outstanding issue indeed. Well, one way could be to build the %sizeof hash through a C program. We are doing that for us.

Bug#190887: the sizeof hash is missing
Hi, Almost 10 years later this bug still exists and still bother a few people every once in a while... Including me these last days. :) If perl developers arn't willing to patch h2ph to generate a %sizeof hash, I think debian could (at least) patch the .ph files it distributes. Moreover, a portable way to define %sizeof for simple types could be something like: our %sizeof = ( 'int' = length(pack(i!, 0)), 'unsigned int' = length(pack(I!, 0)) ); However, I don't see any automatic way to determine the size of structures like 'struct termios', which is used by a few ioctl. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
