in reply to Signal::StackTrace not working?

Hello perlancar,

I’m seeing the same behaviour on Windows. I think the problem is that the trace is given from the vantage point of the statement immediately following the statement that was in effect when the signal was received. I played around with the following script:

#!perl use strict; use warnings; use Signal::StackTrace::CarpLike qw( INT ); f(); print "After f()\n"; sub f { g(); } sub g { sleep 5; print "In g(), after sleep\n"; }

Output:

13:05 >perl 1052_SoPW.pl INT at 1052_SoPW.pl line 13. eval {...} called at 1052_SoPW.pl line 13 main::g() called at 1052_SoPW.pl line 9 main::f() called at 1052_SoPW.pl line 6 In g(), after sleep After f() 13:05 >

Note the line number: line 13 is the print statement following sleep. And with that print statement commented out:

13:05 >perl 1052_SoPW.pl INT at 1052_SoPW.pl line 7. eval {...} called at 1052_SoPW.pl line 7 After f() 13:07 >

The INT signal is now reported as having been received after sub g returned, because sleep happened to be the last statement in the sub. And the stack trace shown is correct as from the viewpoint of line 7.

This looks like a fairly serious bug to me.

Hope that helps,
