Have you considered adding a timeout? test.pl has one that > will kill the test script if Perl hangs. That patch (open_jE1FFxzb.txt) was to fix the existing ‘qq· test ·’ test. That one doesn’t hang. This new patch adds a test to t/comp/parser.t, which does not use test.pl . Should it be changed so we can add a watchdog(60), or should the test go elsewhere? The open_jE1FFxzb.txt patch should be applied first, to keep tests passing.Thread Previous | Thread Next
