Martin Panter added the comment: For 2.7, adding the automatic RTLD_MEMBER mode does not seem like a bug fix to me. Currently, I understand this code could load two separate libraries:
file = CDLL("libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.0)") member = CDLL("libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.0)", DEFAULT_MODE | 0x00040000) With your proposed change, the first line will do the same as the second line, and Python will no longer provide a way to load a file named like in the first operation. Maybe this is okay for the next version of Python 3 (because it is only breaking a rare corner case), but my view is it is not worth changing 2.7. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter title: ctypes and AIX - also for 2.7.X (and later) -> ctypes library loading and AIX - also for 2.7.X (and later) _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27435> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
