Just as a reminder to myself...
Things done to narrow down the problem - but still no solution:

- reduced the span of the BEGIN block in script/par.pl
- verified that the packed script is NOT executed from "inside"
  BEGIN or eval() any more
- set PL_perl_destruct_level=1 in myldr/main.c for perl_construct()
  and perl_destruct() call (but to no avail)
- problem occurs definitely AFTER the end of normal execution
  (but still in perl_run())
- using Devel::Symdump we see that the only END blocks registered
  are in File::Temp, PAR and par.pl 
- by instrumenting these END blocks we see that the problem 
  occurs AFTER they have been run
- the problem is not specific to Parallel::Loops or
  Parallel::ForkManager, the following script shows the same
  symptoms (with or without the wait()ing at the end)

use strict;
use warnings;
for (1..5)
{
my $pid = fork();
die "fork failed: $!" unless defined $pid;

if ($pid == 0)
{
# child
print STDERR "child $$\n";
exit(0);
}
}
print STDERR "waiting for children ...\n";
while ((my $pid = wait()) != -1)
{
print STDERR "reaped $pid\n";
}

Sorry, unlikely soon. There has to be a reason why practically all
of script/par.pl (which eventually calls "do 'your_original_script'")
is wrapped in BEGIN (and eval {} to boot), but I don't know it
(mind you, I'm not the original author). Any change in this crucial
piece of the PAR::Packer machinery needs consideration and
extensive testing for which I don't have time ATM.

Cheers, Roderich

Hi Rodrich,

Thank you for inform me of this finding. Just wondering maybe it is possible to 
update PAR::Packer soon since wrap packed script into a BEGIN block or into 
BODY 
block seems do not need much change? and the pack function and parallel process 
function are very desirable feature of Perl.

Regards,

Frank

The actual problem is that a packed script actually runs inside
a BEGIN block. If you simply put everything in your example script
(except the "use" statements) into a BEGIN block, then it
will blow up even unpacked.

The perlfork man page explicitly states that fork (i.e. the
emulation for Windows) might fail when invoked inside BEGIN.

As to why PAR::Packer wraps a packed script into a BEGIN block:
I don't know - it has always been the case (according to the
history in Subversion). 

Cheers, Roderich

Hi Roderich,

Yes the code work fine and fast when not packed. Only crash when run packed 
code.
The following is a minimal code example that exhibits the problem:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
$|=1;
my $workers=@ARGV ? shift : 16;
use Parallel::Loops;
my @modelfiles=("ct_125_gulfstream_ws_26119a.txt");
my $pl = Parallel::Loops->new($workers);
$pl->foreach(\@modelfiles, 
sub {   
  my $mf = $_;
  print $mf;
}
);

And this is the output of perl-V:

The file " C:\Perl64\site\lib\PAR \ Packer .pm" has
our $VERSION = '1.010';

Actually my previous version of Par::Packer is 1.008 and showed this problem so 
I updated it to 1.010 and hope this problem will go away but seems it is not.
(Also if we do not use parallel loop the packed code run fine.)

Thank you.

Hi Mr. Mueller,

When using pp to create a stanalone executable in activeperl for x64, if the 
source code used Parallel::Loops, the executable will crash and the following 
is the problem detail:

Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:APPCRASH
  Application Name: pre-process-elt-x64.exe
  Application Version:   0.0.0.0
  Application Timestamp: 4e3026dd
  Fault Module Name:  perl512.dll
  Fault Module Version:5.12.2.1203
  Fault Module Timestamp:  4d009fe0
  Exception Code:  c005
  Exception Offset:0013eb35
  OS Version:  6.0.6002.2.2.0.18.10
  Locale ID: 1033
  Additional Information 1:  98c4
  Additional Information 2:  adc3265ea6226a0345ffdbdc4025017e
  Additional Information 3:  360c
  Additional Information 4:  f2486cf67a3bbd6d9170c007387206e1


Is this problem related to how fork in perl is handled in windows or is this 
problem only related to Parallel::Loops? But the perl code itself works without 
any problem.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Frank Wang

This information is useless.

Please provide a minimal code example that exhibits the problem.
Also include the output of "perl -V" and the versions of
PAR and PAR::Packer used.

By that you mean: the code works when not packed?
