Compatibility with QuickJS 2025-04-26

[Cellesti]

Hello, while building JavaScript::QuickJS with QuickJS 2025-04-26, i encountered JS_TAG_BIG_DECIMAL and JS_TAG_BIG_FLOAT undeclared errors.

It seems bignum support has been removed from QuickJS: bellard/quickjs@61e8b94

Would it be possible to have JavaScript::QuickJS compatible with QuickJS 2025-04-26?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, not a C programmer, so i probably won't be able to do this.

I am packaging JavaScript::QuickJS for Alpine, which is why i'm trying it with Alpine's quickjs package which is about to receive this upgrade.

It is fine if JavaScript::QuickJS only supports the bundled version of quickjs. I can switch to that, or maybe to quickjs-ng, since Alpine has a package for this now.

@Cellesti I had a look just now: https://github.com/FGasper/p5-JavaScript-QuickJS/tree/quickjs_2025_04.

The code changes are minimal, but something seems to have changed with Alpine images. Do you mind looking at the GitHub Action setup to see how that can accommodate whatever is different now?

Thanks!

[Cellesti]

Thanks for looking into this.

For the Github Actions issue, it seems to be a Docker error.

Based on this thread, it looks like you now need to specify --platform when using docker run.

@Cellesti Thanks. Are you able to send me a patch to make the Docker CI work?

[Cellesti]

Not really. I wish i knew more about Github Actions to be able to help.

For what it's worth, i'm running the quickjs_2025_04 branch through Alpine's own gitlab CI now, and will report back if i encounter any issues.

[FGasper]

I suspect it’s less about GH Actions than about the docker invocation I’m using, and/or maybe a container image that Alpine used to ship is no longer available?

[Cellesti]

For using Alpine in Github Actions, i've seen people use this instead of Docker.

Alpine's CI has finished testing the quickjs_2025_04 branch. It builds fine and passes tests on all 9 architectures supported by Alpine, including ppc64le and s390x that were disabled before this.
