Hi,
I made the following modifications to utf8.c :
#ifdef EBCDIC
uv = NATIVE_TO_UTF(uv);
#endif
Where in utf8.c? Your description of what you
changed is inadequate for
anyone else to understand the context of your
change.
The change is in the fn Perl_utf8n_to_uvuni :
-------------------
.....
....
#define UTF8_WARN_LONG 8
#define UTF8_WARN_FFFF 9 /*
Also FFFE. */
if (curlen == 0 &&
!(flags & UTF8_ALLOW_EMPTY)) {
warning = UTF8_WARN_EMPTY;
goto malformed;
}
#ifdef EBCDIC /* the change */
uv = NATIVE_TO_UTF(uv);
#endif /* the change ends here */
if (UTF8_IS_INVARIANT(uv)) {
if (retlen)
*retlen = 1;
return (UV) (NATIVE_TO_UTF(*s));
}
....
...
----------------------------------------
I tried redoing it with a clean build, but it
still
fails.
Why does configpm generate errors ?
I don't know. I don't fully understand the workings
of how perl's UTF-8
implementation is supposed to work on EBCDIC
platforms.
1: Is that the only change you've made to the source
code?
I have other changes in utf8.c, but the build happens
fine with them (and without the change mentioned
above).
2: Without that change, how does your build fail?
It doesnt fail.
How do the errors differ?
