Bug 523982 – dev-perl/perl-tk with dev-lang/perl-5.20.1 - ?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Norman Yarvin 2014-09-29 01:33:01 UTC]

Getting a new MainWindow is commonly the first step in using perl-tk, and it yields a segmentation fault, when using perl 5.20.  This one has already been solved upstream, but perhaps not released yet.  The Arch people have pulled out from git a couple of patches which solve the problem; I'll be attaching those.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run

perl -MTk -e '$mw = new MainWindow'

Actual Results:  
A core dump

Expected Results:  
Nothing

Where did these patches come from? Which specific problems do they fix?

[Comment 4 Norman Yarvin 2014-09-29 17:21:53 UTC]

They come originally from upstream (git), and were picked up by Arch.  Sorry, I meant to include the URL for that discussion, but forgot:

I hadn't uploaded the ebuild I'm running, since the modifications seemed so trivial (just added those two patches to the PATCHES list), but what the hell...

You really ought to rename those patches to specify their meaning or the issue they resolve.
