No need to make closefrom test conditional depending on the platform. We have plently of tests which are platform specific but run on all platforms. It's common that a function is first available on a single platform, but then available on more platforms. It seems like closefrom() is available on: * FreeBSD * NetBSD: https://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?closefrom++NetBSD-current * OpenBSD: https://man.openbsd.org/closefrom.2 * Solaris: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/816-5168/closefrom-3c.html ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38061> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
