Identifier:

random_xspp_identifier_by_extutils_xspp
|
|
Description
|
ExtUtils::XSPP generates random identifiers that are included in generated C code.
https://sources.debian.net/src/libextutils-xspp-perl/latest/lib/ExtUtils/XSpp/Lexer.pm/#L141
.
Possible solution is seeding the rng with srand($SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH) in ExtUtils/XSpp/Cmd.pm.
