[ID 20000322.004] Not OK: perl v5.6.0 +v5.6.0-RC2 onpowerpc-machten 4.1.4 (UNINSTALLED)

This is a build failure report for perl from domo@Kcompuer.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.27 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

One and a bit test failures.  Here's the bit:

op/taint.............# shmget failed:
# shmwrite failed: Invalid argument
# shmctl failed: Invalid argument
# msgctl failed: Operation not permitted
ok

This is due to an incomplete implementation of System V IPC in
MachTen.

And here's the one:

pragma/warnings......PROG:
# pp_hot.c [pp_print]
use warnings 'io' ;
print STDIN "anc";
print <STDOUT>;
print <STDERR>;
open(FOO, ">&STDOUT") and print <FOO>;
print getc(STDERR);
print getc(FOO);
####################################################################
# The next test is known to fail on some systems (Linux+old glibc, #
# old *BSDs, and NeXT, among others.                               #
# We skip it for now (on the grounds that it is "just" a warning). #
####################################################################
#read(FOO,$_,1);
no warnings 'io' ;
print STDIN "anc";
EXPECTED:
Filehandle main::STDIN opened only for input at - line 3.
Filehandle main::STDOUT opened only for output at - line 4.
Filehandle main::STDERR opened only for output at - line 5.
Filehandle main::FOO opened only for output at - line 6.
Filehandle main::STDERR opened only for output at - line 7.
Filehandle main::FOO opened only for output at - line 8.
GOT:
Filehandle main::STDIN opened only for input at - line 3.
Filehandle main::STDOUT opened only for output at - line 4.
Filehandle main::STDERR opened only for output at - line 5.
Filehandle main::STDERR opened only for output at - line 7.
FAILED at test 257

This is due to an OS bug: MachTen doesn't give pipes a file type --
see separately submitted follow-up to my bug report [ID
20000315.008].  As it's an OS bug, and of limited impact, I don't
propose submitting a patch for perl to work around it.

I do propose adding a README.machten (hitting this list soon) to
document this stuff.
