I found a set of XS modules that do die when built with PERL_RC_STACK. See https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/20858#issuecomment-1446542706 One that particularly surprised me was Text::CSV_XS. I debugged a little, but it wasnt obvious to me and I moved on with the assumption it would be small cheese for you to decipher. On the other hand, I tested them on your branch with the PERL_RC_STACK define omitted (eg "normal build") and IIRC they passed. (I say IIRC because I was heavily jet-lagged towards the end of that session and it all was starting to blur together...) So that supports your theory that without PERL_RC_STACK defined nothing should notice. Cheers, Yves Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Previous | Thread Next
