[issue5999] compile error on HP-UX 11.22 ia64 - 'mbstate_t' is used as a type, but has not been defined as a type
Jim Schneider added the comment: Martin - provides a definition for mbstate_t only (at least on HP/UX 11i V2.0). I can verify that the problem still exists for Python 3.2.1. I am working on a workaround for this issue, and I will attach a patch once I get it to build. -- nosy: +jschneid ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5999> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12561] Compiler workaround for wide string constants in Modules/getpath.c (patch)
New submission from Jim Schneider : In Modules/getpath.c, the following line (#138) causes problems with some compilers (HP/UX 11, in particular - there could be others): static wchar_t *lib_python = L"lib/python" VERSION; Similarly, line #644: module_search_path = L"" PYTHONPATH; The default HP/UX compiler fails to compile this file with the error "Cannot concatenate character string literal and wide string literal". The attached patch converts these two string literals to wide string literals that the HP/UX compiler can understand. Very limited testing indicates that the patch is benign (it does not affect the build on Linux running on x86_64). -- components: Build files: getpath.patch keywords: patch messages: 140348 nosy: jschneid priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Compiler workaround for wide string constants in Modules/getpath.c (patch) type: compile error versions: Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22655/getpath.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12561> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue5999] compile error on HP-UX 11.22 ia64 - 'mbstate_t' is used as a type, but has not been defined as a type
Jim Schneider added the comment: I got it to build on HP-UX 11. However, there are a lot of compiler warnings about type mismatches, the _ctypes, _multiprocessing and termios modules failed to build, and "make test" died after not finding a usable "binascii" module. To get it to build, I did the following: 1) Applied the patch I attached to issue 12561 2) Created a directory sys, and copied /usr/include/sys/stdsyms.h into it. 3) Did "chmod 644" on sys/stdsyms.h and applied the patch stdsyms.patch that I've attached to this issue to it. 4) Ran configure with the argument "CPPFLAGS=-I." At this point, make ran to completion, and produced a python binary. However, "make test" dies within seconds of starting up. -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22656/stdsyms.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5999> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue5999] compile error on HP-UX 11.22 ia64 - 'mbstate_t' is used as a type, but has not been defined as a type
Jim Schneider added the comment: Martin - sys/_mbstate.h is only included if _INCLUDE__STDC_A1_SOURCE is defined. The only way this gets defined in the vendor-provided include files is if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined and is equal to 500, or __STDC_VERSION__ is defined and is greater than or equal to 199901. I've attached a patch to broaden the _XOPEN_SOURCE case (as the test should clearly have been >=, not ==). Defining __STDC_VERSION__ to 199901 or greater will also do the job, but it feels more like a hack than just fixing what's broken in the vendor include files. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5999> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12561] Compiler workaround for wide string constants in Modules/getpath.c (patch)
Jim Schneider added the comment: The __W macro is needed because the token-pasting operator binds to the macro's argument immediately; Having WCHAR(y) expand to __W(y) means that __W is passed WCHAR's argument after it's been macro-expanded. Without the intermediate step, WCHAR(VERSION) becomes LVERSION. As for the name - I have no objection to reasonable name changes. I picked WCHAR because it converts its argument to a wchar_t *. Finally - I am aware that the HP/UX C compiler is broken. Unfortunately, I am required to work with it, and can neither replace it nor ignore it. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12561> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Jim Schneider added the comment: Workaround for compiler bug; HP/UX compiler refuses to past (implicitly char *) string constants with wide (wchar_t *) string constants. This patch is also pasted to issue 12561 (which should be closed). Note: There is disagreement as to the best way to proceed on this issue. Stinner (aka haypo) has a patch that should work with non ASCII character sets, and my patch will almost certainly not work in those cases.

Jim Schneider added the comment: Terry - I apologize for jumping the gun a bit, and let me be a bit more clear. When I realized that the HP/UX compiler was going to have as many problems as it does compiling python 3, I decided it would be best to create a single issue for all of the compiler issues. In retrospect, opening an issue for the single compiler bug discussed in issue 12561 was a mistake, and I had hoped to migrate the discussion of that issue here. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12572> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
