* in import.c, #ifdef out references to dynamic loading based on
HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING
* clean out the platform-specific crud from importdl.c.
[ maybe fold this function into import.c and drop the importdl.c file? Greg.]
* change GetDynLoadFunc's "funcname" parameter to "shortname". change
"name" to "fqname" for clarification.
* each GetDynLoadFunc now creates its own funcname value.
WARNING: as I mentioned previously, we may run into an issue with a
missing "_" on some platforms. Testing will show this pretty quickly,
however.
* move pathname munging into dynload_shlib.c
This patch changes the string-based exceptions to class-based
exceptions, so that you can fetch the unknown option as an
attribute. As far as I know, it is backward compatible.
[The new exception class is called GetoptError; the name error is an
alias for compatibility.]
Here's a patch that avoids a warning caused by the "const char* pathname"
declaration for _PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc (in dynload_aix). The "aix_load"
function's 1st arg is prototyped as "char *pathname".
file per platform (really: per style of Dl API; e.g. all platforms
using dlopen() are grouped together in dynload_shlib.c.).
This is part of a set of patches by Greg Stein.
strings to integers for the *conf*() functions.
Added code to sort the tables at module initialization. Three
dictionaries, confstr_names, sysconf_names, and pathconf_names, are
added to the module as well. These map known configuration setting
names to the numeric value which is used to represent the setting in
the system call. This code is always called.
Updated related comments.
pathconf() names, from Sjoerd.
Added code to verify that these tables are properly ordered, only
included and used when CHECK_CONFNAME_TABLES is defined. This is only
needed to test the tables, so I haven't enabled this by default.
available since the interface is poorly defined on at least one major
platform (Solaris).
Moved table of constant names for fpathconf() & pathconf() into the
conditional that defines the conv_path_confname() helper; Mark Hammond
reported that defining the table when none of the constants were
defined causes the compiler to complain (won't allow 0-length array,
imagine that!).
In posix_fpathconf(), use conv_path_confname() as the O& conversion
function, instead of the conv_confname() helper, which has the wrong
signature (posix_pathconf() already used the right thing).
