Later came # reports that perl would run unstable on 3.2: # # From about perl5.002beta1h perl became unstable on the # NeXT. Intermittent coredumps were frequent on 3.2 OS. There were # reports, that the developer version of 3.3 didn't have problems, so it # seemed pretty obvious that we had to work around an malloc bug in 3.2. # This hints file reflects a patch to perl5.002_01 that introduces a # home made sbrk routine (remember, NeXT's sbrk _never_ worked). This # sbrk makes it possible to run perl with its own malloc. Thanks to # Ilya who showed me the way to his sbrk for OS/2!! # andreas koenig, 1996-06-16 # # So, this hintsfile is using perl's malloc. If you want to turn perl's # malloc off, you need to change remove '-DUSE_PERL_SBRK' and # '-DHIDEMYMALLOC' from the ccflags above and set usemymalloc below # to 'n'. # ###################################################################### usemymalloc='y' d_uname='define' d_setpgid='define' d_setsid='define' d_tcgetpgrp='define' d_tcsetpgrp='define' # # On some NeXT machines, the timestamp put by ranlib is not correct, and # this may cause useless recompiles.
