[#454030] distutils cannot link C++ code with GCC
topdir = "Lib/distutils"
* bcppcompiler.py
(BCPPCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
(BCPPCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* msvccompiler.py
(MSVCCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
(MSVCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* ccompiler.py
(CCompiler): New language_map and language_order attributes, used by
CCompiler.detect_language().
(CCompiler.detect_language): New method, will return the language of
a given source, or list of sources. Individual source language is
detected using the language_map dict. When mixed sources are used,
language_order will stablish the language precedence.
(CCompiler.create_static_lib, CCompiler.link, CCompiler.link_executable,
CCompiler.link_shared_object, CCompiler.link_shared_lib):
Inlcuded target_lang parameter.
* cygwinccompiler.py
(CygwinCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* emxccompiler.py
(EMXCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* mwerkscompiler.py
(MWerksCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.
* extension.py
(Extension.__init__): New 'language' parameter/attribute, initialized
to None by default. If provided will overlap the automatic detection
made by CCompiler.detect_language(), in build_ext command.
* sysconfig.py
(customize_compiler): Check Makefile for CXX option, and also the
environment variable CXX. Use the resulting value in the 'compiler_cxx'
parameter of compiler.set_executables().
* unixccompiler.py
(UnixCCompiler): Included 'compiler_cxx' in executables dict, defaulting
to 'cc'.
(UnixCCompiler.create_static_lib): Included target_lang parameter.
(UnixCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter, and made
linker command use compiler_cxx, if target_lang is 'c++'.
* command/build_ext.py
(build_ext.build_extension): Pass new ext.language attribute
to compiler.link_shared_object()'s target_lang parameter. If
ext.language is not provided, detect language using
compiler.detect_language(sources) instead.
* command/config.py
(config._link): Pass already available lang parameter as target_lang
parameter of compiler.link_executable().
This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889. It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects. Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.
The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.
XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process. It will need
substantial testing.
'try_cpp()', 'search_cpp()', and 'check_header()'. This is enough that
the base config is actually useful for implementing a real config
command, specifically one for mxDateTime.
one doesn't *do* anything by default; it's just there as a conduit for data
(eg. include dirs, libraries) from the user to the "build" commands.
However, it provides a couple of Autoconf-ish methods ('try_compile()',
'try_link()', 'try_run()') that derived, per-distribution "config" commands
can use to poke around the target system and see what's available.
Initial experimenst with mxDateTime indicate that higher-level methods are
necessary: analogs of Autoconf's AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_LIB will be
needed too (and that's just to probe the C/C++ system: how to probe the
Python system is wide open, and someday we'll have to worry about probing a
Java system too).
