( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
The compiler that built ActivePerl and your compiler use different C runtime libraries - and that *can* definitely be nasty - though, mostly, it's not an issue. And I think it's quite possibly *not* an issue here.

I've confirmed that the perl.exe process has two CRTL DLLs loaded: msvcr71.dll (7.10.6030.0000) and msvcrt.dll (7.00.2600.2180).

I surmise that both of these export errno and perl58.dll is linking to one and the Net/SSLeay.dll is linking to the other. Thus setting errno in Net/SSLeay.dll does not alter the value of $! in Perl. Indeed now I write this I seem to recall having heard of this exact issue elsewhere.

Anyway, none of this will help you much - except perhaps for the notion that your problem lies with Test::Exception, rather than Net::SSLeay per se.

Thanks, but having placed diagnostic prints of errno and $! just before the and after the return from the XS code and I'm sure I've isolated (and circumvented) this problem. I think it will turn out to be the first of many getting Net::SSLeay to work (see Legacy use of splice() as lvalue).


In reply to Re^2: errno in XS not propagating to $! - breaks Net::SSLeay by nobull

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
