[Phoenix-pm] Fwd: [perl #38485] use integer; 0x80000000/-1; # coredump

[Metz, Bobby W, WCS]

I don't have access to 5.9.4 at the moment, but don't see the issue on
the following non-X86 versions:

5.6.0 on HP-UX
5.6.1 on SunOS

I don't know why Perl coredumpers fascinate me so, but here's another
one for ya'll.

This is a bug report for perl from nick at ccl4.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl 5.9.4.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

The code

    use integer;
    0x80000000/-1;

will coredump on (at least) x86 FreeBSD, with a floating point
exception.
(It's amazing what strange things you learn from perl6-internals)

Do we want to trap this overflow case before things go boom?
If so, what do we do? Die with something more meaningful analagous to
the
division by zero error?
