I tried adding PL_isa_generation (attached, in case you want to see it; not for application), which worked, but then I realised that it would mean iterating through *all* packages afterwards to reconstruct PL_isarev. > > So I’ve used a different approach with the other patch attached (1. reset isa...). When a stash is manipulated, it calls mro_isa_changed_in on the affected packages and iterates through their subpackages, doing the same. That patch can cause a bus error, so here is a new version. The third patch no longer applies with this version, so here is a new version of that, too (3b).Thread Previous | Thread Next
