Hi Paul, Even, currently, there is no any zero size data file in structure folder in my regression code coverage run (lots of suites), I still got lots of messages like below: ----------- Corrupted storable file (binary v2.7) at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_retrieve.al) line 331, at /xxxxxxxx/Devel/Cover/DB/Structure.pm line 269 END failed--call queue aborted. ------------- Seems some data files got corrupted somehow.
The process killing (kill parent process before killing child process and make chid process be terminated abnormally) is one possibility, I also noticed that useing system or other folk method to execute command could also cause this problem. Any clue about above issue "Corrupted storable file (binary v2.7) at ..." and does anybody also experience this issue and know how to deal with it? Also, does anybody have similar experience on killing process and folking process cause "Magic number ..." issue and "orrupted storable file ..." issue?
