Tests for h2ph.t, op/numconvert.t, and op/range.t fails when trying to install 5.14.4 (using gcc 4.9) #15072
Comments
From @hakonhaglandTrying to install an earlier perl version (5.14.4) on my Ubuntu laptop I figured this was not a problem with perlbrew, and downloaded the source $ wget http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.22.0.tar.gz and the same tests failed. Here is the output from running /.myconfig $ ./myconfig Platform: and here are the failed tests: # Failed at ../lib/h2ph.t line 49 # '-9223372036854775808' ne '-9.22337203685478e+18', 9223372036854775808 => # Failed at op/range.t line 311 I found a similar bugreport at rt.perl.org : "Can't build perl with gcc4.9 due to UB in sv.c" : Best regards, |

Perl 5.14 is no longer supported by perl5-porters. If you expect perlbrew to install unsupported older perls on your system you should probably report an issue against perlbrew, or perhaps against Devel::PatchPerl. Tony |

I was not aware of that.. I now read http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy.html which confirms that only 5.20 and 5.22 are supported.. I will report this issue against perlbrew or Devel::PatchPerl instead 2015-12-05 16:23 GMT+01:00 <perlbug-followup@perl.org>:

From @hakonhaglandOk, I will then ask the maintainers of perlbrew regarding this issue.. According to http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html perl versions earlier than 5.8 is not supported, so I was a little bit Is that to say that the information at cpan.org not up to date? 2015-12-07 0:04 GMT+01:00 Tony Cook via RT <perlbug-followup@perl.org>:

That page is definitely out of date. The supported versions can now be populated programmatically, since there is a very simple heuristic for determining this value. Who is maintaining this section of the site? |
