Hi Bastian,
ok , so it a corner case as it is a very old perl lib :D.....
But I think both a) and b) just be done. First, the users should know
what versions was tested for ,and secondly, to cope with the older
versions - maybe having a #warning if PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END is not
defined will be better also.
thanks and regards,
bogdan

Good.
perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts ->
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-I/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/CORE

Whoops. :)
PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END has been defined in the stable branch since Perl
5.8.0 (which has been out for almost 4 1/2 years).
Up to this point, I only have checked Perl 5.8.8.
There are at least two options, now:
a) State in README/docs that 5.8.0 is needed, and that the system has
been tested with 5.8.8
b) Use a
#ifdef PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END
PL_exit_flags |= PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END;
#else
PL_exit_flags |= PERL_EXIT_EXPECTED;
#endif
wrapping or sth. similar
Please tell me what option you'd prefer (or just commit that
yourself :))
As a side note: Perl 5.8.7 is available as a binary package for Solaris
9 from sunfreeware.com:
ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/9/perl-5.8.7-sol9-sparc-local.gz
Best,
Bastian
