New submission from sangamesh <swamy.sangam...@gmail.com>: I built the python-2.6.2 with the latest libffi-3.0.9 in AIX 5.3 using xlc compiler. When i try to run the ctypes test cases, two failures are seen in test_bitfields.
test_ints (ctypes.test.test_bitfields.C_Test) ... FAIL test_shorts (ctypes.test.test_bitfields.C_Test) ... FAIL It seems that interpreting type c_int and c_short is wrong in bit field for AIX. If i change the type c_int and c_short to c_unit and c_ushort of class "BITS(Structure)" in file test_bitfields.py then no failures are seen and all the test cases got passed This issue is common for both 32 and 64-bit versions Attaching the complete test case result for reference. ---------- assignee: theller components: ctypes files: ctype-tests.txt messages: 97395 nosy: mallayya, theller severity: normal status: open title: test_ctypes failure on AIX 5.3 type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15784/ctype-tests.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7657> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
