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.

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".

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

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).
