I found this in perl.h
struct interpreter {
# include "thrdvar.h"
# include "intrpvar.h"
/*
* The following is a buffer where new variables must
* be defined to maintain binary compatibility with previous versions
*/
PERLVARA(object_compatibility,30, char)
};
That was last changed in revision 4602, by Sarathy:
Change 4602 by gsar@saw on 1999/12/01 01:00:09
more complete pseudo-fork() support for Windows
http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/4602
which is pre 5.6.0
As it hasn't been changed since, and there doesn't seem to be an issue with
reserved space on the end of the perl interpreter object, is it sensible to
drop it?
