Please apply and run it and email us the output. Both your new smoke patches do not apply cleanly to perl-5.37.1 - because the "complicating category" part in Perl_setlocale does not exist [I suppose yet]. So I can only provide the output of everything besides those 2 additional lines. This may not be tragic in itself, but I suppose I'm missing some relevant git changes to Perl_setlocale then. Anyway, the behavior of the texinfo testcase for me is the same with all 3 smoke patches and already described above. When it runs endlessly with full CPU usage, no further output follows and everything that was output before is attached. Regards UweThread Previous | Thread Next
