- Add requires_fork and requires_subprocess to more tests
- Skip extension import tests if dlopen is not available
- Don't assume that _testcapi is a shared extension
- Skip a lot of socket tests that don't work on Emscripten
- Skip mmap tests, mmap emulation is incomplete
- venv does not work yet
- Cannot get libc from executable
The "entire" test suite is now passing on Emscripten with EMSDK from git head (91 suites are skipped).
In Linux kernel 5.14 one can dynamically request size of altstacksize
based on hardware capabilities with getauxval(AT_MINSIGSTKSZ).
This changes allows for Python extension's request to Linux kernel
to use AMX_TILE instruction set on Sapphire Rapids Xeon processor
to succeed, unblocking use of the ISA in frameworks.
Introduced HAVE_LINUX_AUXVEC_H in configure.ac and pyconfig.h.in
Used cpython_autoconf:269 docker container to generate configure.
The heredoc creation statements use >> to append conftest.c. This can cause
tricky build issues if the file is not correctly removed prior to its
name being reused (such name is reused several times for different
contextual tests during the build). One such result from appending may
cause #include <ac_nonexistent.h> to persist when testing to acquire
PLATFORM_TRIPLET. This can then lead to downstream issues concerning SOABI.
musl libc and gnu libc are not ABI compatible so we need set different
SOABI for musl and not simply assume that all linux is linux-gnu.
Replace linux-gnu with the detected os for the build from config.guess
for linux-musl*.
When Python is built without --enable-shared, the "python" program is
now linked to object files, rather than being linked to the Python
library (libpython.a), to make sure that all symbols are exported.
Previously, the linker omitted some symbols like the Py_FrozenMain()
function.
When Python is configured with --without-static-libpython, the Python
static library (libpython.a) is no longer built.
* Check --without-static-libpython earlier in configure.ac
* Add LINK_PYTHON_OBJS and LINK_PYTHON_DEPS variables to Makefile.
* test_capi now ensures that the "Py_FrozenMain" symbol is exported.
The build system now uses a :program:`_bootstrap_python` interpreter for
freezing and deepfreezing again. To speed up build process the build tools
:program:`_bootstrap_python` and :program:`_freeze_module` are no longer
build with LTO.
Cross building depends on a build Python interpreter, which must have same
version and bytecode as target host Python.
``Modules/Setup.stdlib`` contains ``Setup`` lines for all stdlib extension modules for which ``configure`` has detected their dependencies. The file is not used yet and still under development. To use the file, do ``ln -sfr Modules/Setup.stdlib Modules/Setup.local``.
