the right variant of gethostbyname_r for us, since not all Linuxes are
equal in this respect. Reported by Laurent Pointal.
(2) On BeOS, Chris Herborth reports that instead of arpa/inet.h you
must include net/netdb.h to get the inet_ntoa() and inet_addr()
prototypes.
Changed those two methods to only compile/link if necessary (according
to simplistic timestamp checks).
Added 'output_dir' to 'object_filenames()' and 'shared_object_filename()'.
much breakage (esp. in JPython which holds absolute path names in
co_filename already). This implementation uses os.path.abspath() as a
slightly better way to canonicalize path names. It implements a
cache.
the file that a function is defined on. Non-portable to Windows and
JPython. Instead, new find_function() uses re module on a similar
(simple-minded) pattern.
names match the documentation.
Removed broken code that supports the __methods__ attribute on ast
objects; the right magic was added to Py_FindMethod() since this was
originally written. <ast-object>.__methods__ now works, so dir() and
rlcompleter are happy.
tracefunc (or profilefunc -- we're not sure which), zap the global
trace and profile funcs so that we can't get into recursive loop when
instantiating the resulting class based exception.
attributes, etc. Biggest change was to the Distribution constructor
-- it now looks for an 'options' attribute, which contains values
(options) that are explicitly farmed out to the commands. Also,
certain options supplied to Distribution (ie. in the 'setup()' call in
setup.py) are now "command option aliases", meaning they are dropped
right into a certain command rather than being distribution options.
This is handled by a new Distribution class attribute,
'alias_options'.
Various comment changes to reflect the new way-of-thinking.
Added 'get_command_name()' method to Command -- was assuming its
existence all along as 'command_name()', so changed the code that
needs it to call 'get_command_name()'.
now provided (minus the leading underscore) by the ccompiler module.
Fix 'compile()' to return the list of object files generated.
Cosmetic tweaks/delete cruft.
Added big comment about the kludginess of passing 'build_options'
to the link methods and how to fix it.
Added 'gen_preprocess_options()' and 'gen_lib_options()' convenience
functions -- the two cases are very similar for Unix C Compilers and
VC++, so I figured I might as well unify the implementations.
- fix some broken abstract methods
- kludge: add 'build_info' parameter to link methods
- add 'object_name()' and 'shared_library_name()'
- support for MSVCCompiler class on NT/Win95
(Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)
Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
location can't be predicted). Windows solution TBD.
