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)
svGrow should really be SvGROW. In fact there's no svGrow in perl
[...later...] or in DBD::ODBC. I'll assume you meant SvGROW and your
shift key got out of step.
Yes I did.
SvLEN(phs->sv) returns 52 in 5.8.8 onwards
I've not been following this thread at all, but seeing the above made
this spring to mind:
http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse?show_patch=Show+Patch&patch_num=24665
Perl has always been at liberty to allocate more memory than was
requested if it thinks that would be a good idea, and that is exactly
what it does as of the above patch (#24665) in order to reduce the
number of realloc()'s that might be required.
That patch was integrated into 5.8.8.
