Bug ID: 1129850 Summary: Perl debugger commands that depend on Padwalker no longer work Product: Fedora Version: 20 Component: perl Severity: high Assignee: jplesnik@redhat.com Reporter: alan@clueserver.org QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: cweyl@alumni.drew.edu, iarnell@gmail.com, jplesnik@redhat.com, kasal@ucw.cz, perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, ppisar@redhat.com, psabata@redhat.com, rc040203@freenet.de, tcallawa@redhat.com
Description of problem:
When using the Perl command line debugger the "y" and "X" commands no longer work. (They fail silently.)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.18.2-289.fc20 perl-PadWalker-1.98-1.fc20.x86_64
How reproducible: Every time.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Debug a test program with "perl -d testprog.pl 2. Use "n" and enter a few lines until a variable you want to examine is loaded. 3. Use "y" or "X" on that variable.
Actual results:
Nothing returned.
Expected results:
The contents of the variable should be displayed.
Additional info:
The "p" command will print a variable, it is very narrow in scope. It will not display the contents of an entire hash variable like "X" or "y" will. ("y" shows the contents of the variable for all types in the current package. "X" does the same for global variables. Neither work at this point.
