Using _LINUX_SOURCE_COMPAT is sometimes preferable, as it greatly improves compatibility with code intended for Linux and improves XPG specs compliance. But I am not sure it should always be enabled. In our case, we use it as there where issues with AIX malloc and hotshot when building without it, but Python seems to globally work fine without, and we did not compare performances. Like you, I don't know why this was overridden, so it might be safer to keep the override and just add the #ifdef _LINUX_SOURCE_COMPAT. This also applies to Python 2.7. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28000> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
