NAME
Test::Stream::Capabilities - Check if the current system has various capabilities.
DEPRECATED
This distribution is deprecated in favor of Test2, Test2::Suite, and Test2::Workflow.
See Test::Stream::Manual::ToTest2 for a conversion guide.
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Stream::Capabilities qw/CAN_FORK CAN_REALLY_FORK CAN_THREAD/;
if (CAN_FORK) {
my $pid = fork();
...
}
if (CAN_REALLY_FORK) {
my $pid = fork();
...
}
if (CAN_THREAD) {
threads->new(sub { ... });
}DESCRIPTION
This module will export requested constants which will always be a boolean true or false.
AVAILABLE CHECKS
- CAN_FORK
-
True if this system is capable of true or psuedo-fork.
- CAN_REALLY_FORK
-
True if the system can really fork. This will be false for systems where fork is emulated.
- CAN_THREAD
-
True if this system is capable of using threads.
NOTES && CAVEATS
- 5.10.0
-
Perl 5.10.0 has a bug when compiled with newer gcc versions. This bug causes a segfault whenever a new thread is launched. Test::Stream will attempt to detect this, and note that the system is not capable of forking when it is detected.
- Devel::Cover
-
Devel::Cover does not support threads. CAN_THREAD will return false if Devel::Cover is loaded before the check is first run.
