I tried compiling the simple example in the perlcall manpage with
a threaded perl 5.60, I've been able to use the perlcall routines
fine with my perl 5.005_03

-------------------------
  dSP;
  PUSHMARK(sp);
  perl_call_pv("some_func", G_DISCARD|G_NOARGS);
-------------------------

And I get unfortunate error​:

main.cc​:26​: `thr' undeclared (first use this function)

Seems that the perl macros are being expanded to use some "thr" object​:

-------------------------
  extern int Perl___notused ;
  register SV **sp = (thr ->Tstack_sp) ;
  if (++ (thr ->Tmarkstack_ptr) == (thr ->Tmarkstack_max) ) Perl_markstack_grow(thr ) ; * (thr ->Tmarkstack_ptr) = ( sp ) - (thr ->Tstack_base) ;
  Perl_call_pv(thr , "call" , 2 | 8 ) ;
-------------------------

What is this thr object?
