We thank the TPF sponsors to make this grant possible.
<pre>
This "monthly" report covers 3 months, as I've been failing to do much
work on perl for a while. Hopefully things will improve now.
The main thing I have been doing over this time is fixing issues related
to smoke reports. In particular the PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT build option had
bit-rotted. It now builds and tests ok. I've also been looking at some
Address Sanitizer failures related to memory leaks.
SUMMARY:
8:34 RT #133789 Memory leak in concatenation operator overload
2:00 diagnose cpan/JSON-PP/t/011_pc_expo.t failing test
0:38 fix compiler warnings
5:00 fix ext/GDBM_File/t/fatal.t
18:42 get perl building again under -DPERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT_PRIVATE
6:27 look at failures under Asan
------
41:21 TOTAL (HH::MM)
280.6 weeks
3203.1 total hours
11.4 average hours per week
There are 263 hours left on the grant
