On a fresh checkout, I'm getting the following test failure. I'm pretty
sure this is new today.
$ perl -Ilib t/src/list.t
1..1
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at lib/Test/Builder.pm line
999.
# Failed to build 't/src/list_1': ld: fatal: file t/src/list_1.o: open failed: No such
file or directory
# ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to t/src/list_1
# No tests run!
Alas, that output isn't very informative. The problem is the C
compiler is failing to compile the test code. If I run it manually, I get
"t/src/list_1.c", line 112: cannot do pointer arithmetic on operand of unknown size
"t/src/list_1.c", line 120: cannot do pointer arithmetic on operand of unknown size
"t/src/list_1.c", line 127: cannot do pointer arithmetic on operand of unknown size
"t/src/list_1.c", line 130: cannot do pointer arithmetic on operand of unknown size
"t/src/list_1.c", line 137: cannot do pointer arithmetic on operand of unknown size
"t/src/list_1.c", line 171: cannot do pointer arithmetic on operand of unknown size
"t/src/list_1.c", line 175: cannot do pointer arithmetic on operand of unknown size
cc: acomp failed for t/src/list_1.c
Line 112 is (the other failing lines are similar).
list_push(interpreter, list, (void*) 'a'+i, enum_type_char);
So, there are really two problems here:
1. Can we somehow get more useful error messages out of c_output_is()?
(Yes, I know about $ENV{POSTMORTEM}. It doesn't do anything here that I
can detect.)
2. Can someone who understands the tests fix the casts in t/src/list.t?
Thanks,
