Category: Build Group: Platform-specific Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeremy Friesner (jfriesne) >Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: "slots" member variable in object.h confuses Qt moc utility Initial Comment: This isn't really a Python bug per se, but it's easy to fix so I'm filing a bug report anyway. The problem is with the line PyObject *name, *slots; in the definition of struct _heaptypeobject at line 343 of Include/object.h. I'm embedding Python into my app that uses the TrollTech Qt GUI, and Qt has a preprocessor program named "moc" that looks for certain non-standard keywords. One of these keywords is the word "slots"... so having a member variable named "slots" in Include/object.h confuses moc and causes my app to have a build error. I was able to fix the problem by renaming the "slots" member variable to "xslots" in the Python source, but it would be nicer if it was renamed in the official Python distribution so that the problem doesn't come up for the next guy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-09-29 22:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Ah, okay. However, I can't decide whether this will be done, assigning to Martin for this case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeremy Friesner (jfriesne) Date: 2005-09-29 22:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=383828 Unfortunately, yes, When compiling with Qt, the words "signals" and "slots" become essentially reserved keywords, and any use of them as variable names causes a compile error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-09-29 22:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Okay. Most of your replacements are function parameters or function local variables, do they have to be replaced too? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeremy Friesner (jfriesne) Date: 2005-09-28 18:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=383828 Here is a file containing grep output showing all the lines where I changed 'slots' to 'xslots' in my codebase: http://www.lcscanada.com/jaf/xslots.zip ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Reinhold Birkenfeld (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-09-28 15:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 I can find 3 occurences in typeobject.c where the variable would have to be renamed. Can you find any other? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1086854&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
