When I added -DS, I did wonder whether it was appropriate to use SV-using diagnostic code for such low-level functionality. I decided not to worry about it, since I doubted that anyone would be using that option except during the first few months after the op slab allocator was added. It seems that the misgivings that I ignored were correct. I do think a more appropriate fix would be to change DEBUG_S_warn in op.c to be smarter and bypass mess_sv and anything SVish. It’s more work though. Fixing anything related to -D is certainly not high priority. -- Father Chrysostomos --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=129027Thread Next
