Description
Setting a breakpoint on an AUTOLOAD under certain circumstances causes a segmentation fault. It's unclear what is the minimum amount of code required to reproduce the issue, but at the very least it seems to require:
I was able to reproduce this on both 5.32 and 5.34.
Steps to Reproduce
I was able to get this code to segfault, but it didn't happen every time.
package Test;
sub AUTOLOAD {
use vars '$AUTOLOAD';
my $sub = $AUTOLOAD;
return 1;
}
package main;
sub test
{
Test::test();
}
sub test_test
{
eval { test() };
}
test_test();
Start the perl debugger with this code, then set a breakpoint on Test::AUTOLOAD, and continue. You should get this error message:
Signal SEGV at autoload_segv.pl line 14.
main::test() called at autoload_segv.pl line 19
eval {...} called at autoload_segv.pl line 19
main::test_test() called at autoload_segv.pl line 22
Aborted (core dumped)
Expected behavior
It should break on the first line of the AUTOLOAD subroutine and not segfault.
