Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 1 Submitted By: bamoore (bamoore) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: example broken in section 1.12 of Extending & Embedding Initial Comment: In section 1.12 of Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter Release 2.4, the example (spammodule) does not compile on linux with distutils. I get the following: ~/sandbox/python/c_api_test$ python2.4 spam-setup.py build running build running build_ext building 'spam' extension creating build creating build/temp.linux-i686-2.4 gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c spammodule.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/spammodule.o spammodule.c:7: error: conflicting types for `PySpam_System' spammodule.h:21: error: previous declaration of `PySpam_System' error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 I think the solution is to change line 12 of the spammodule header file listing from: #define PySpam_System_PROTO (char *command) to: #define PySpam_System_PROTO (const char *command) as that seems to compile for me. (though not tested from another C extension). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luis Bruno (lbruno) Date: 2005-04-21 14:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1263795 AIUI, your solution is correct; a cursory glance through the PyArg_ParseTuple() documentation and the system() manual page leads me to believe we're expecting a const char *. I'll submit a patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1184380&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
