> [...] Coro breakage [...]
Below is some recent chatter from #p5p. I have edited it only for
comprehensibility and brevity.
<Nicholas> leont: here's the bit I don't get. If I comment out the
assignments in State.xs that monkey patch in the overrides (so
that no overriding is happening) all the tests still pass
<leont> …
<leont> Nicholas: we have all been idiots
<Nicholas> because?
<leont> For not seeing this earlier :-/
<Nicholas> 1) there are no tests for the actual deep bug that someone hit
(see comment in State.xs "The original one doesn't provide for
reading back of PL_diehook/PL_warnhook")
<Nicholas> 2) maybe it's all for working around bugs that are already
fixed by 5.22.0 time
<Nicholas> 3) the only thing that it's trying to cope with is actually
perlio.c does of directly localising setting PL_warnhook. In
which case, fix perlio.c to use (I think) save_helem_flags()
<leont> 5.22.2 + PadlistNAMES fix works fine for me too
<leont> the tests [...] do actually test what they need to test
<leont> In particular t/13_diewarn.t
<Nicholas> there are two or three possible reasons
So... what's the deal?
