Roumen Petrov <bugtr...@roumenpetrov.info> added the comment: My comment on this part of code is( from issue3871): + # FIXME: next code is from issue870382 + # MS C-runtime libraries never support backward compatibility. + # Linking to a different library without to specify correct runtime + # version for the headers will link renamed functions to msvcrt. + # See issue3308: this piece of code is python problem even + # with correct w32api headers. + # Issue: for MSVC compiler we can get the version and from version + # to determine mcvcrt as code below. But what about if python is + # build with GCC compiler? + # Output of sys.version is information for python build on first + # line, on the next line is information for the compiler and the + # output lack information for the C-runtime.
My vote is to remove function get_msvcr() from cygwinccompiler.py. ---------- nosy: +rpetrov _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5043> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
