New submission from David Coles <coles.da...@gmail.com>: On Android platforms bionic defines wchar_t as char. This causes compiling of unicodeobject.c to fail with "#error "unsupported wchar_t and PyUNICODE sizes, see issue #8670".
The unusual thing is that the configure script does detect if wchar_t is usable (HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T) but the wide code support block in unicodeobject.c does not check this (only an #ifdef HAVE_WCHAR_T). Possibly the quick solution is to change this #ifdef to '#if defined(HAVE_WCHAR_T) && defined(HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T)'. The header unicodeobject.h does check for HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T but will only define HAVE_WCHAR_T if it is not already defined. ---------- components: Build messages: 135242 nosy: dcoles priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Compile fails when sizeof(wchar_t) == 1 type: compile error _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12010> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
