Why remove randbits: randbits was added before we had such good and informative tests in the test suite. The tests now pinpoint the problem and explain the solution, including recommending the right value for randbits. Why add prototype: In the medium term there may be advantages to moving towards using ANSI C prototypes. At the moment there's no way of making an impact assessment. This would be a first step. Especially when combined with automated perlbug and perlbug -ok mail handling and archiving. While I'm on the subject, libpth and libs values should be in quotes. Any objections? (Please don't turn this into a "my compiler doesn't support prototypes" rant.) p5p-msgid: 199709290857.JAA07706@toad.ig.co.uk --- diff --git a/myconfig b/myconfig index 5beb42a..86da2ed 100755 --- a/myconfig +++ b/myconfig @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ Summary of my $package ($baserev patchlevel $PATCHLEVEL subversion $SUBVERSION) ccflags ='$ccflags' stdchar='$stdchar', d_stdstdio=$d_stdstdio, usevfork=$usevfork voidflags=$voidflags, castflags=$castflags, d_casti32=$d_casti32, d_castneg=$d_castneg - intsize=$intsize, alignbytes=$alignbytes, usemymalloc=$usemymalloc, randbits=$randbits + intsize=$intsize, alignbytes=$alignbytes, usemymalloc=$usemymalloc, prototype=$prototype Linker and Libraries: ld='$ld', ldflags ='$ldflags' libpth=$libpth
