of bugs in that port. The most annoying ones were due to some subtle differences
between the document ABI and the actual implementation :-(
(there are no python unittests that fail without this patch, but without it
some of libffi's unittests fail).
will return True if Windows Structured Exception handling (SEH) is
used when calling functions, False otherwise.
Currently, only MSVC supports SEH.
Fix the test so that it doesn't crash when run with MingW compiled
_ctypes. Note that two tests are still failing when mingw is used, I
suspect structure layout differences and function calling conventions
between MSVC and MingW.
It seems that the definition of '__attribute__(x)' was responsible for
the compiler ignoring the '__fastcall' attribute on the
ffi_closure_SYSV function in libffi_msvc/ffi.c, took me quite some
time to figure this out.
handler would cause a segfault. This merges in Expat's lib/xmlparse.c
revisions 1.154 and 1.155, which fix this and a closely related problem
(the later does not affect Python).
Moved the crasher test to the tests for xml.parsers.expat.
be called at the end of each test that spawns children (perhaps it
should be called from regrtest instead?). This will hopefully prevent
some of the unexplained failures in the buildbots (hppa and alpha)
during tests that spawn children. The problems were not reproducible.
There were many zombies that remained at the end of several tests.
In the worst case, this shouldn't cause any more problems,
though it may not help either. Time will tell.
(modified patch by Sam Ruby; changed to use separate REs for start and end
tags to reduce matching cost for end tags; extended tests; updated to avoid
breaking previous changes to support IPv6 addresses in unquoted attribute
values)
dylib at the root of the framework, that way tools that expect a unix-like
install (python-config, but more importantly external products like
mod_python) work correctly.
way the resulting binaries have a better change of running on 10.3.
This patch also updates the search logic for sleepycat db3/4, without this
patch you cannot use a sleepycat build with a non-standard prefix; with this
you can (at least on OSX) if you add the prefix to CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS at
configure-time. This change is needed to build the binary installer for OSX.
