bpo-31803: time.clock() and time.get_clock_info('clock') now emit a
DeprecationWarning warning.
Replace time.clock() with time.perf_counter() in tests and demos.
Remove also hasattr(time, 'monotonic') in test_time since time.monotonic()
is now always available since Python 3.5.
Ctypes currently produces wrong pep3118 type codes for several types.
E.g. memoryview(ctypes.c_long()).format gives "<l" on 64-bit platforms,
but it should be "<q" instead for sizeof(c_long) == 8
The problem is that the '<>' endian specification in the struct syntax
also turns on the "standard size" mode, which makes type characters have
a platform-independent meaning, which does not match with the codes used
internally in ctypes. The struct module format syntax also does not
allow specifying native-size non-native-endian items.
This commit adds a converter function that maps the internal ctypes
codes to appropriate struct module standard-size codes in the pep3118
format strings. The tests are modified to check for this.
Based on patch by Victor Stinner.
Add private C API function _PyUnicode_AsUnicode() which is similar to
PyUnicode_AsUnicode(), but checks for null characters.
Disable faulthandler to run test_SEH() of test_ctypes to prevent the
following log with a traceback:
Windows fatal exception: access violation
Add support.disable_faulthandler() context manager.
* init commit, with initial tests for from_param and fields __set__ and __get__, and some additions to from_buffer and from_buffer_copy
* added the rest of tests and patches. probably only a first draft.
* removed trailing spaces
* replace ctype with ctypes in error messages
* change back from ctypes instance to ctype instance
* Fixed bpo-29565: Corrected ctypes passing of large structs by value.
Added code and test to check that when a structure passed by value
is large enough to need to be passed by reference, a copy of the
original structure is passed. The callee updates the passed-in value,
and the test verifies that the caller's copy is unchanged. A similar
change was also added to the test added for bpo-20160 (that test was
passing, but the changes should guard against regressions).
* Reverted unintended whitespace changes.
Replace os.popen() with subprocess.Popen. Based on patch by Victor Stinner.
If the "gcc", "cc" or "objdump" command is not available, the code was
supposed to raise an OSError exception. But there was a bug in the code. The
shell code returns the exit code 10 if the required command is missing, and the
code tries to check for the status 10. The problem is that os.popen() doesn't
return the exit code directly, but a status which should be processed by
os.WIFEXITED() and os.WEXITSTATUS(). In practice, the exception was never
raised. The OSError exception was not documented and ctypes.util.find_library()
is expected to return None if the library is not found.
