signed/unsigned chars or on integers directly derived from those. In all
cases, it could be replaced by a simple cast to (unsigned char). Reasons
for the change:
a) Make the comment more explicit.
b) If char is unsigned, the cast is optimized away.
c) If char is unsigned, gcc emits spurious "array subscript
has type 'char'" warnings.
* PyCObject_AsVoidPtr() can now open capsules. This addresses
most of the remaining backwards-compatibility concerns about
the conversion of Python 2.7 from CObjects to capsules.
* CObjects were marked Pending Deprecation.
* Documentation about this pending deprecation was added to
cobject.h.
* The capsule source files were added to the legacy PC build
processes.
and read operations on write-only file objects. On Windows, the system C
library would return a bogus result; on Solaris, it was possible to crash
the interpreter. Patch by Stefan Krah.
- Issue #7714: Use ``gcc -dumpversion`` to detect the version of GCC on
MacOSX.
- Make configure look for util.h as well as libutil.h. The former
is the header file that on OSX contains the defition of openpty.
(Needed to compile for OSX 10.4 on OSX 10.6)
- Use the correct definition of CC to compile the pythonw executable
could crash in many places because of the PyByteArray_AS_STRING() macro
returning NULL. The macro now returns a statically allocated empty
string instead.
(the latter renamed to _PyLong_Frexp) now use the same core code. The
exponent produced by _PyLong_Frexp now has type Py_ssize_t instead of the
previously used int, and no longer needs scaling by PyLong_SHIFT. This
frees the math module from having to know anything about the PyLong
implementation. This closes issue #5576.
equivalent[*] check that doesn't produce compiler warnings about a 'x < 0'
check on an unsigned type.
[*] it's equivalent for inputs of type size_t or Py_ssize_t, or any smaller
unsigned or signed integer type.
multi-architecture build (in particular when the architectures don't share
a common pointer size).
Fixed the same issue for SIZEOF_PTHREAD_T.
(No update to the NEWS file because this is a bugfix for an as yet unreleased
feature)
