As first suggested by simcop2387 on #p5p, when you attempt to build
perl5.30.0 using these two configuration switches, the build fails
during 'make'. Bisecting on FreeBSD-11.2, I got this result:

malloc.c: Limit malloc size to PTRDIFF_MAX

Without doing this, it is possible that the behavior is undefined when
subtracting two pointers that point to the same object.

simcop2387's build report is here:

However, I was able to reproduce this on both Linux and FreeBSD-11 with
the *combination* of "-Dusemymalloc=y -Dusethreads". "-Dusemymalloc=y"
by itself built successfully (though I didn't run tests).

This problem probably went undetected during the perl-5.29 dev cycle because "-Dusemymalloc=y" is rather obscure for a Configure switch and is probably not exercised by any of our smoke-testing rigs. "-Dusethreads", however, is well exercised in the test suite and across smoke-testing rigs.

Hence, as a way toward preventing a future regression, if someone were able to write a test in one of the already existing threads-activated test files that tickled this bug, that would be really nifty.

Thank you very much.

@khwilliamson - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

From @khwilliamson

Fixed by

*commit 9629b6d
Author: Karl Williamson <khw@cpan.org>
Date: Wed May 22 14:37:20 2019 -0600

PATCH: [perl #134126] -Dusemymalloc, -Dusethreads

This was due to a missing declaration for thread context needed to
output a message.

From jiri.krobot.broz@gmail.com

This is a build failure report for perl from jiri.krobot.broz@gmail.com
generated with the help of perlbug 1.41 running under perl 5.30.0.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to compile Perl with PERL_MALLOC = define. It failed during
complilation of the malloc.c
due this code lines:
if (nbytes > PTRDIFF_MAX) {
#line 1242 -------- ! ERROR !
MYMALLOC_WRITE2STDERR("Memory requests are limited to PTRDIFF_MAX"
" bytes to prevent possible undefined"
" behavior");
return NULL;
}

MYMALLOC_WRITE2STDERR inherits using 'my_perl' but it is undefined here. It
causes this error.
I removed the line which is informative only and nmake passed.

For information only: 'nmake test' failed with these errors:
( by my experience with cpan, failed tests use to be almost harmless)

I tried to compile Perl with PERL_MALLOC = define. It failed during
complilation of the malloc.c
due this code lines:
if (nbytes > PTRDIFF_MAX) {
#line 1242 -------- ! ERROR !
MYMALLOC_WRITE2STDERR("Memory requests are limited to PTRDIFF_MAX"
" bytes to prevent possible undefined"
" behavior");
return NULL;
}

MYMALLOC_WRITE2STDERR inherits using 'my_perl' but it is undefined
here. It
causes this error.
I removed the line which is informative only and nmake passed.

For information only: 'nmake test' failed with these errors:
( by my experience with cpan, failed tests use to be almost harmless)

PATCH: [perl #134126] -Dusemymalloc, -Dusethreads

This was due to a missing declaration for thread context needed to
output a message.

Do you get the same error if you build blead perl?

No response, so I'm assuming I'm correct here, merged into 134126 (which is pending release.)
