# as of 2.09 on win32 Storable w/threads dies with "free to wrong # pool" since it uses the same context for different threads. since # win32 perl implementation allocates a different memory pool for each # thread using the a memory pool from one thread to allocate memory # for another thread makes win32 perl very unhappy # # but the problem exists everywhere, not only on win32 perl , it's # just hard to catch it deterministically - since the same context is # used if two or more threads happen to change the state of the # context in the middle of the operation, and those operations aren't # atomic per thread, bad things including data loss and corrupted data # can happen. # # this has been solved in 2.10 by adding a Storable::CLONE which calls # Storable::init_perinterp() to create a new context for each new # thread when it starts sub BEGIN { unshift @INC, 't'; unshift @INC, 't/compat' if $] < 5.006002; require Config; import Config; if ($ENV{PERL_CORE} and $Config{'extensions'} !~ /\bStorable\b/) { print "1..0 # Skip: Storable was not built\n"; exit 0; } unless ($Config{'useithreads'} and eval { require threads; 1 }) { print "1..0 # Skip: no threads\n"; exit 0; } # - is \W, so can't use \b at start.
