I've just tried gcc builds for the first time in a while and was slightly shocked at the number of test failures. I swear these both passed all tests (apart from one or two known failures) the last time I tried. Results are attached for mingw.org's 4.8.1 and mingw-w64.org's native 32-bit 4.8.0. (By contrast, the same mingw.org gcc-4.8.1 builds maint-5.22 fine with only two test failures: one is a Known Problem with that compiler (see http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/80ccccdff59107c4ba712244ad455a3e1fcb4929), the other is the consistently misbehaving dist/IO/t/io_sock.t. So I'm confident the problems are in blead; it's not just my build system that's fallen into a state of disrepair.) I will try to find time to look at a few before the 5.23.4 release on Tuesday, but fixing everything may take a little longer than that.Thread Next
