Also note that it isn't just Linux nice() that is broken: at least FreeBSD
and BSDI also have this problem. os.nice() should probably just be emulated
using getpriority()/setpriority(), if they are available, but I'll get to
that later.
This patch allows the readline module to build cleanly with GNU
readline 4.2 without breaking the build for earlier GNU readline
versions. The configure script checks for the presence of
rl_completion_matches in libreadline.
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,
SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
Mac/macglue.c into the core interpreter. This file contains the glue code that
allows extension modules for Mac toolboxes to live in different shared libraries
but still communicate with each other. The glue code is controlled by the
USE_MAC_TOOLBOX_GLUE define.
of dbmmodule dynamically by default (otherwise it can pull in
dependencies with libdb that croak pybsddb3). This change moves the
Setup line for dbmmodule to Setup.config.in.
I can't test this, so I'm just checking it in with blind faith in Andy.
I've tested that it doesn't broeak a non-Pth build on Linux.
Changes include:
- There's a --with-pth configure option.
- Instead of _GNU_PTH, we test for HAVE_PTH.
- Better signal handling.
- (The config.h.in file is regenerated in a slightly different order.)
This allows dbmmodule.c to use either without having to add additional
options to the Modules/Setup file or make source changes.
(At least some Linux systems use gdbm to emulate ndbm, but only install
the ndbm.h header as /usr/include/gdbm/ndbm.h.)
- 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
which I can cast void* to and back again without losing information".
In pyport.h, we typedef Py_uintptr_t to mean this thing, which if the
platform supports, will be uintptr_t (otherwise, other accomodations
are made).
- Don't call both AC_CHECK_FUNCS and AC_REPLACE_FUNC for 'hypot', as the
latter already does everything the former does (because it's implemented as
a call to the former.)
- Don't call AC_CHECK_FUNC() without any 'action' clauses or with an action
clause that just defines HAVE_<function>. Instead, call AC_CHECK_FUNCS,
which defines 'HAVE_<function>' of itself, possibly with aditional 'action'
clauses.
No checks are removed by this patch, only moved around, and some duplicates
are removed.
64-bit readiness (the config values are needed for patches that I will
be submitting later today. The changes are as follows:
- add SIZEOF_OFF_T #define's to PC/config.h (it was already in configure.in)
- add SIZEOF_TIME_T #define to PC/config.h and configure
Needed for some buffer overflow checking because sizeof(time_t) is
different on Win64.
- add SIZEOF_FPOS_T #define
Needed for the Win64 large file support implementation.
- add SIZEOF_HKEY in PC/config.h only
Needed for proper Win32 vs. Win64 handling in PC/winreg.c
- #define HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT for Win64
- typedef long intptr_t; for all Windows except Win64 (which defines it
itself)
This is a new ANSI (I think) type that is useful (and used by me) for
proper handling in msvcrtmodule.c and posixmodule.c
- indent the nested #ifdef's and #defines in PC/config.h
This is *so* much more readable. There cannot be a compiler
compatibilty issue here can there? Perl uses indented #defines and it
compiles with everything.
threads use --without-threads. No extra tests of thread/compiler
combinations have been added.
--with(out)-thread and --with(out)-threads are completely
interchangeable.
--with-threads still supports the =DIRECTORY option for specifying
where to find thread libraries.
