|
| Testing Python 2.3 and 2.4.2 on MacOS 10.3 returns 0L for the file size

|>>>catinfo.dataPhysicalSize
|
| 0
|
|>>>catinfo.parentDirID
|
| 2026177
|
|
| in Files.h, both OS9 and OSX Carbon, the elements are UInt64:
|
| struct FSCatalogInfo {
| [...]
| UInt64 dataLogicalSize;
| UInt64 dataPhysicalSize;
| UInt64 rsrcLogicalSize;
| UInt64 rsrcPhysicalSize;
| [...]
| }
|
| in _Filemodule.c the spec looks to be 32 bit:
|
| static PyObject *FSCatalogInfo_get_dataLogicalSize(FSCatalogInfoObject
| *self, void *closure)
| {
| return Py_BuildValue("l", self->ob_itself.dataLogicalSize);
| }
|
| I have, perhaps naively, just changed my local copy to use a BuildValue
| parameter of "L" instead of "l" for each of these get and set methods
| and this has survived my initial testing:
|
| static PyObject *FSCatalogInfo_get_dataLogicalSize(FSCatalogInfoObject
| *self, void *closure)
| {
| return Py_BuildValue("L", self->ob_itself.dataLogicalSize);
| }
|
| But my questions are:
|
| Has anyone else seen this?
|
| Does this seem like the right fix?
|
| There is another routine in _Filemodule.c: FSCatalogInfo_tp_init() that
| also seems to hold information relevant to parameter size. Should this
| be changed as well?
|
| If this is a bug, what's the best procedure to report this?
| Sourceforge? This mailing list?
|
| I'm porting a MacOS9 application from C++ to python and I expect to be
| seeing a lot of these python macintosh filesystem extensions in the
| near future!
|
| Thanks for any help

You're most likely to get a good answer to this question on the
MacPython mailing list--give that a try if you don't get a response here.
