I'm not aware of a platform where sizeof(unsigned short) is not *exactly* 16-bits. At least, no platform supported by CPython. Include/unicodeobject.h is quite explicit: #if SIZEOF_SHORT == 2 typedef unsigned short Py_UCS2; #else #error "Could not find a proper typedef for Py_UCS2" #endif Maybe we should use a similar code in ceval.c? #if SIZEOF_SHORT != 2 # error "Could not find a proper type for 16-bit pointer" #endif ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27097> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
