New submission from Jeffrey Armstrong: In an attempt to overhaul the existing Open-Watcom-specific portions of CPython, I encountered a number of issues related mostly to preprocessor directives surrounding support for the Open Watcom toolchain on Windows. Specifically, there were a number of places where #defined(MS_WINDOWS) should be checked prior to checking #defined(__WATCOMC__).
Additionally, there are some minor differences in the Open Watcom headers from the usual Microsoft headers that lead to problems. Open Watcom, for example, internally defines PATH_MAX, whereas MSVC does not. Open Watcom provides a few additional POSIX-y functions on the Windows platform that, again, MSVC does not. The included patch fixes these minor problems. The changes should not effect compilation with any other compilers. I realize Open Watcom probably isn't directly supported at the moment. I currently have project files, however, that are building CPython with the Open Watcom toolchain with these patches (and a few additional patches - separate issues, though). ---------- components: Build, Windows files: openwatcom.3.3.2.patch keywords: patch messages: 200991 nosy: Jeffrey.Armstrong priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Initial modernization of OpenWatcom support versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32307/openwatcom.3.3.2.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19355> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
