Changes for version 1.9751 - 2018-01-02

  • in macOS/OSX/Darwin, use __has_builtin() check also for utimensat(), can cause errors like "HiRes.xs:1474:16: error: unrecognized platform name macOS"
  • do not define TIME_HIRES_STAT/d_hires_stat if none was found, instead of defining it to be zero, which case has no implementation in hrstatns() (thanks to Nigel Horne)
  • in t/utime.t try to divine if the filesystem of the tempfiles has been mounted with the 'noatime' option, which can prohibit updating the access time timestamp. Also document this in HiRes.pm. (thanks to Nigel Horne, original analysis by Slaven Rezic)
  • synchronize the constant lists in HiRes.pm:@EXPORT_OK and Makefile.PL:doConstants and regenerate fallback/const-c.inc and fallback/const-xs.inc, this fixes Perl 5.6.2 issue with d_futimens not allegedly being a valid macro in t/utime.t (using Perl 5.26.1 for the regenerating, not 5.6.2) (thanks to Nigel Horne)
  • in t/utime.t define a nop sub done_testing for ancient Perls (like Perl 5.6.2)
  • in Perl 5.6.2 a bogus warning "Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry" is issued from t/alarm.t: add a comment documenting that
