This is a bug report for perl from mjd@plover.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
The following program manufactures an "Outer" object that contains an
"Inner" subobject. The outer object is destroyed during the global
destruction phase, but at the time that Outer::DESTOY is called, the
outer object has been corrupted. Its inner object is already gone,
and its value in the outer hash has been set to "undef".
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Data::Dumper;
sub Outer::new
{
my $self = {subobject => bless(["Hey, where did I go?"], "Inner")};
bless($self, 'Outer');
}
sub Outer::DESTROY
{
warn "Hey, where is my subobject?" unless defined $_[0]{subobject};
}
$helper = new Outer;
sub test
{
print STDERR "TEST: $helper";
}
Here Outer::DESTROY is expecting that its subobject will still be
intact at the time the outer object is destroyed. It plaintively asks
about the location of its missing inner object:
Hey, where is my subobject? at helper line 13 during global destruction.
The bug is highly peturbable. Removing the (unused) "use
Data::Dumper" statement makes it go away, as does removing the
(unused) "test" subroutine or the (unused) "print" statement inside of
"test".
This bug was reported by Christoph Haas under 5.8.4; his bug report
should be coming through soon, if it has not already.
