Fred Drake 36ed560710 Added section on threads problems on Reliant UNIX; this relates to
bug #113797.  We should be able to resolve this for the next release.

Reflowed the comments on Monterey (64-bit AIX) to match the flow of the
other platform-specific sections.
2000-10-06 01:58:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 0b5fb2bfc8 Add a paragraph about an optimization bug in SGI compilers which affects
complex objects, and explain how to build so that Objects/complexobject.c
is compiled without optimization.

Closing SourceForge bug #110695 as "Won't Fix".
2000-09-29 17:45:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 3cc7e4d083 Update list of extension modules that may be interesting to enable on

Guido van Rossum 7ac1153c01 Various tweaks and improvements by Thomas Wouters (who apparently lost
the patch or forgot about it -- this is easier than reminding him).
2000-08-29 21:36:40 +00:00
Trent Mick 635f6fb0e9 This patch partly (some stuff went in already) ports Python to Monterey.
- 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
2000-08-23 21:33:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 81db1a31fa Updated some URLs; removed mention of copyright (we'll have to add
something in later after that discussion is over); remove explanation
of 2.0 version number.
2000-08-23 19:01:43 +00:00
Tim Peters 4f1b2081e9 Removed all instances of RETSIGTYPE from the source code: signal
handlers "return void", according to ANSI C.
Removed the new Py_RETURN_FROM_SIGNAL_HANDLER macro.
Left RETSIGTYPE in the config stuff, because it's not clear to
me that others aren't relying on it (e.g., extension modules).
