Hi, Back in March this year Jonathan Gillespie reported the following error in DBD::ODBC test suite:
Can't change param 1 maxlen (51->50) after first bind at >t/20SqlServer.t line 180. (see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg26946.html). The same version of DBI and DBD::ODBC works fine in perl 5.8.7 but fails in perl 5.8.8 and later. I've even tried 5.9.4. I never really got to the root of the problem but it appears: in dbdimp.c did a: svGrow(phs->sv, 50+1) but SvLEN(phs->sv) returns 52! DBD::ODBC does not expect this so the test fails. Since this is continuing to fail in all Perl versions since 5.8.8 I really would like to get this sorted out. I've checked through the perl changes files and I cannot see anything that looks a possibility. Does anyone know why If phs->sv is a SVt_NULL and you do: SvUPGRADE(phs->sv, SVt_PVNV) svGrow(phs->sv, 50+1) SvLEN(phs->sv) returns 52 in 5.8.8 onwards but the same code returned 51 in 5.8.7 and earlier? Any over ideas that would help me track this down? Martin -- Martin J. Evans Easysoft Ltd, UK http://www.easysoft.com
