If assignments to SvIVX() are to be replaced with SVIV_set() then any extensions that assign to SvIVX() will also need to be changed to use SVIV_set(). In order that the extensions can still build for old versions of perl the SVIV_set() macro needs to be added to PPPort. Tim. p.s. The DBI does scary things by taking the address of the integer result of SvIVX()! But I'll worry about that another day...Thread Previous | Thread Next
