Jan Dubois [Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:30:32 +0000]
On Windows normalize $^X using GetLongPathName()

If perl.exe is called with a short pathname, then GetModuleFileName()
will return this short name, and $^X will be set to it.  This in turn
is used to initialize @INC to privlib, sitelib and vendorlib locations
relative to $^X, so they too will end up with the mangled short names.

Perl will also automatically add versioned Perl directories in the
same tree if their names start with the same major and minor Perl
version numbers.  This heuristic can be broken when the pathname
components are using short pathnames.  Therefore $^X and @INC should
all be normalized to use the long pathname format.

15 years agoadd CLONEf_KEEP_PTR_TABLE to win fork emulation.
David Mitchell [Wed, 5 Aug 2009 13:20:29 +0000]
add CLONEf_KEEP_PTR_TABLE to win fork emulation.
This keeps the ptr-table table around after the thread has been created.
This has been on for user threads for a while now, but not for
Windows forks. Turns out that Variable::Magic relies on the table still
being there, so crashes under windows forks.  This increases memory usage
per fork, but stops things crashing. Sigh.

Reini Urban [Tue, 4 Aug 2009 11:12:24 +0000]
WIFEXITED() cygwin regression

t/run/exit.t:58:    eval { POSIX::WIFEXITED() };
fails on the new cygwin-1.7 with
     5 [main] perl 3500 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp
before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0xC0000005, errno 11
...
until I kill perl, because you must use an argument for WIFEXITED.
It didn't fail before, so I assume it's a cygwin regression, but it
must be fixed in the perl testsuite,
since an empty argument cries for trouble.
Use 0 or 1 as argument, ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} preferred.
