When attempting a threaded build of perl@6409 with DEC C 6.2, it quit
with the following complaint on av.c:
E extern int Perl___notused
3 50254 (void)SvREFCNT_inc(sv);
..................1
%CC-E-BIFPROTO, (1) In this statement, the built-in function,
"__ATOMIC_INCREMENT_LONG", requires a prototype declaration from
<builtins.h>.
E ((thr->TSv)=(SV*)(sv), ((thr->TSv) &&
__ATOMIC_INCREMENT_LONG(&(((thr->TSv))->sv_refcnt))), (SV *)(thr->T
E Sv))
2 50255 }
The following seems to fix it, but I have no idea whether that's
really the best place to put it. I didn't see an obvious place in
vmsish.h and putting it in thread.h seemed to have no effect. Any
thoughts? Has this head always been available on VMS, or do we need
a wrapper checking for OS or compiler version?
