extend 12 previously hung on Cygwin: If configured
with --intval=long and --opcode=long this is not the
case

threads were all being skipped on Cygwin: They all
pass except the 2 that are being universally skipped

timer were all being skipped on Cygwin: They all pass

Hi,

I have applied a couple of old patches from Limbic~Region. These patches
are enabling some tests for cygwin. Unfortunately I have no cygwin
installed, so I can't tell whether the enabled tests are passing. But I
think that right after a release is a good time for breaking things.

Could one of the Cygwin users tell whether everything is OK?

This might still be problematic.

The threads tests were already enabled for cygwin.

> timer were all being skipped on Cygwin: They all pass

Timer tests are now enabled

My pleasure.

All extend and thread tests have passed for me on trunk with normal
build. timer seems to pass outside the harness, but isn't happy inside
it. Signal seems to have a 'Signal 1' message in the output which breaks
the test.

I'm just going to repeat this to double check things. I'll add any
updates if there are any.

[Also trans has the problem with one of the trig tests (which has been
mentioned a few times!), and dynclasses don't build yet]

Regards,

Nick

On p6i Nick reported success for the timer and signal tests on an
updated Cygwin.

For the failing trig test there is now ticket [perl #36835] and for the
dynclasses problem there is not [perl #36836]. Thus this ticket can be
resolved.

Nick: Could you check the cygwin information in PLATFORMS? If you send a
patch, I'll apply it.
