Update the build structures to automatically detect the presence of BSD db,
including the proper name of the header file to include. Has all the
expected niceties associated with yet-more-configure-options. ;)
This checkin includes changes for non-generated files only; subsequent
checkin will catch those.
This is part of SourceForge patch #101272.
- Fix bug in thread_pthread.h::PyThread_get_thread_ident() where
sizeof(pthread) < sizeof(long).
- Add 'configure' for:
- SIZEOF_PTHREAD is pthread_t can be included via <pthread.h>
- setting Monterey system name
- appropriate CC,LINKCC,LDSHARED,OPT, and CCSHARED for Monterey
- Add section in README for Monterey build
This was a convenient excuse to create the pyport.h file recently
discussed!
Please use new Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT when right-shifting a
signed int and you *need* sign-extension. This is #define'd in
pyport.h, keying off new config symbol SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS.
If you're running on a platform that needs that symbol #define'd,
the std tests never would have worked for you (in particular,
at least test_long would have failed).
The autoconfig stuff got added to Python after my Unix days, so
I don't know how that works. Would someone please look into doing
& testing an auto-config of the SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS
symbol? It needs to be defined if & only if, e.g., (-1) >> 3 is
not -1.
64-bit readiness (the config values are needed for patches that I will
be submitting later today. The changes are as follows:
- add SIZEOF_OFF_T #define's to PC/config.h (it was already in configure.in)
- add SIZEOF_TIME_T #define to PC/config.h and configure
Needed for some buffer overflow checking because sizeof(time_t) is
different on Win64.
- add SIZEOF_FPOS_T #define
Needed for the Win64 large file support implementation.
- add SIZEOF_HKEY in PC/config.h only
Needed for proper Win32 vs. Win64 handling in PC/winreg.c
- #define HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT for Win64
- typedef long intptr_t; for all Windows except Win64 (which defines it
itself)
This is a new ANSI (I think) type that is useful (and used by me) for
proper handling in msvcrtmodule.c and posixmodule.c
- indent the nested #ifdef's and #defines in PC/config.h
This is *so* much more readable. There cannot be a compiler
compatibilty issue here can there? Perl uses indented #defines and it
compiles with everything.
Duzan, for AIX, to support C++ objects with static initializers, when
using the genuine IBM C++ compiler (namely xlC/xlC_r).
See accompanying patches to configure.in and importdl.c.
