Re^2: Perl segfaults: Why?

Segfaulting here with 5.10.0 and 5.10.1 but not on 5.8.9. All tested with BrowserUK's script.

$ cat y.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
open $fh, '<', $0;;
print scalar <$fh>;;
print tell( $fh );;
print tell( $fh + 1 );;

$ perl y.pl # system perl: 5.10.0
#!/usr/bin/perl
Segmentation fault

$ perl5.10.0 y.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
Segmentation fault

$ perl5.10.1 y.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
Segmentation fault

$ perl5.8.9 y.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
16-1

After digging some more, I think this is a compiler problem, not a Perl problem.	[reply]

These are the gcc versions from my previous tests: `$ perl -V:gccversion # segfaults gccversion='4.3.4'; $ perl5.8.9 -V:gccversion # OK gccversion='4.3.3'; $ perl5.10.0 -V:gccversion # segfaults gccversion='4.3.4'; $ perl5.10.1 -V:gccversion # segfaults gccversion='4.3.4';` [download] I don't have access to gcc-4.3.3 any more, so here's the only test I can try: `$ ./perl -Ilib -V:gccversion gccversion='4.3.4'; $ ./perl y.pl #!/usr/bin/perl 16-1` [download] 5.8.9 still works :-(	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes it seems you're right since I don't get any crash with ActivePerl 5.10.0.1004 & perl 5.8.8 on linux	[reply]
