Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Status: NEW Component: perl-Marpa-XS Assignee: jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx Reporter: ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx, lkundrak@xxxxx, perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora perl-Marpa-XS-1.008000-27.fc33 fails to build in Fedora 33 with Perl 5.32 because a test fails: # Failed test 'use Marpa::XS;' # at t/00-load.t line 27. # Tried to use 'Marpa::XS'. # Error: Constants from lexical variables potentially modified elsewhere are no longer permitted at /builddir/build/BUILD/Marpa-XS-1.008000/blib/lib/Marpa/XS/Internal.pm line 93. # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /builddir/build/BUILD/Marpa-XS-1.008000/blib/lib/Marpa/XS/Grammar.pm line 64. # Compilation failed in require at /builddir/build/BUILD/Marpa-XS-1.008000/blib/lib/Marpa/XS.pm line 101. # Compilation failed in require at t/00-load.t line 27. # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/00-load.t line 27. Bailout called. Further testing stopped: Could not load Marpa::XS FAILED--Further testing stopped: Could not load Marpa::XS That's because lib/Marpa/XS/Internal.pm does: if ( $field !~ s/\A=//xms ) { $offset++; } if ( $field =~ / \A ( [^=]* ) = ( [0-9+-]* ) \z/xms ) { $field = $1; $offset = $2 + 0; } Marpa::XS::exception("Unacceptable field name: $field") if $field =~ /[^A-Z0-9_]/xms; my $field_name = $prefix . $field; → *{$field_name} = sub () {$offset}; and this usage of $offset variable is forbidden since Perl 5.32. Splain explanation: $ perl -Mblib -e 'use Marpa::XS' 2>&1 | splain Constants from lexical variables potentially modified elsewhere are no longer permitted at /home/test/fedora/perl-Marpa-XS/Marpa-XS-1.008000/blib/lib/Marpa/XS/Internal.pm line 93 (#1) (F) You wrote something like my $var; $sub = sub () { $var }; but $var is referenced elsewhere and could be modified after the sub expression is evaluated. Either it is explicitly modified elsewhere ($var = 3) or it is passed to a subroutine or to an operator like printf or map, which may or may not modify the variable. Traditionally, Perl has captured the value of the variable at that point and turned the subroutine into a constant eligible for inlining. In those cases where the variable can be modified elsewhere, this breaks the behavior of closures, in which the subroutine captures the variable itself, rather than its value, so future changes to the variable are reflected in the subroutine's return value. This usage was deprecated, and as of Perl 5.32 is no longer allowed, making it possible to change the behavior in the future. If you intended for the subroutine to be eligible for inlining, then make sure the variable is not referenced elsewhere, possibly by copying it: my $var2 = $var; $sub = sub () { $var2 }; If you do want this subroutine to be a closure that reflects future changes to the variable that it closes over, add an explicit return: my $var; $sub = sub () { return $var }; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
