✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to RPM::G...ildLog 💖 — this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and here's the tea: the name field is literally just

  • FIXME — FIXME

yep. the whole thing is a placeholder skeleton, no cap. somebody scaffolded this page and then said "that's a tomorrow problem" 🫠 but we're gonna walk through every crumb anyway, because that's what besties do.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

    use Fixme::FIXME;

    ....

that's it. that's the synopsis. use Fixme::FIXME; and then .... which is giving "I'll finish it later" energy and honestly? relatable 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the description says, verbatim:

FIXME fixme fixme fixme

iconic. no notes. 🎀 (fr fr, that is genuinely all the description there is — we are NOT inventing lore here.)

✨ CONSTRUCTOR ✨

the original marks this one FIXME-only if OO 👑

new( FIXME-args )

the docs for it say FIXME FIXME describe constructor — so like, the constructor exists conceptually, it just hasn't been described yet. lowkey a mystery box. 🎁

✨ METHODS ✨

the section literally opens with FIXME document methods 😭 so here are the two method slots that are waiting for their glow-up:

method1

...

method2

...

two methods, zero documentation, maximum potential. we love a blank canvas 🌈

✨ EXPORTED FUNCTIONS ✨

nothing listed here. empty. a whole section with no items — she's just vibing. 🦋

✨ EXPORTED CONSTANTS ✨

also empty. zero constants. nothing exported. it's giving minimalism 💀

✨ EXPORTABLE FUNCTIONS ✨

yep, empty too. three empty sections in a row and I'm not even mad, I'm impressed. 🙈

✨ FILES ✨

no files listed. nothing to see, bestie, move along 🧚

✨ DIAGNOSTICS ✨

okay NOW we're cooking 🔥 this is the actual content of the page — a lil glossary of the diagnostic messages this thing can throw at you. buckle up.

MacroExpansion

This test has not yet triggered. If it does, it probably means you have something like this in your specfile:

(cd subdir; %patch ...)

...which looks sane until you realize that %patch only works at the beginning of a line in the specfile, and something like the above is interpreted by the shell, which uses percent as job control.

tl;dr: looks innocent, is not. the shell is doing job-control shenanigans and %patch is NOT happy about it. 😭

BufferOverflow

Your build log includes the words "will always overflow destination buffer", which indicate a gcc warning that might be worth double-checking.

TypePun

This can often be fixed by adding "-fno-strict-aliasing" to CFLAGS.

IntegerOverflow

See securecoding.cert.org <https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode/INT32-C.+Ensure+that+operations+on+signed+integers+do+not+result+in+overflow> for much more information.

BrokenMemset

Your build log includes the words "memset used with constant zero length parameter".

PatchApply

Possibly corrupt patch. You are encouraged to investigate. 👀

MakeError

Possible error trapped by 'make'. This indicates the presence of "make [...] Error" somewhere in the log.

MiscBuildError

Possible error in the build log. This indicates the presence of "failed with exit status:" somewhere in the log.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

nothing here. no cross-references. she's alone in the world but she's thriving 💜
