(Similarly, checking what "nm libperl.a | grep -v ' > [TURtr] '" says once in a while is good hygiene.) I smoke with -DPERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT occasionally. (My smoker prioritizes blead/maint/smoke-me smokes with a default config, -DPERL_GLOBAL struct is in one of the alternative configs that's smoked when those are all done.) It picked up some problems recently, see c2587955 and 77c1c05b. TonyThread Previous
