A bit ago I tried to install the Coro module, and found that it didn't work on 5.12.1 with -DDEBUGGING. The maintainer said that he'd given up on supporting DEBUGGING. I chalked it up to the low-level and basically cheating nature of what Coro does, and carried on. But today I found that Devel::Size::Report also fails with DEBUGGING, and with a similar assertion: t/02_report.t ... 1/43 perl: av.c:776: Perl_av_len: Assertion `((svtype)((av)->sv_flags & 0xff)) == SVt_PVAV' failed. I'm sorry if this is a known problem but ... is this a known problem? Does DEBUGGING break the API, or are these modules cheating?Thread Next
