Test for regex module hangs

When running the test for working re_compile_pattern, I get a hang; attaching to the process gives me: (gdb) where #0 __lll_lock_wait_private () at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S:93 #1 0x2ab6dd5c6221 in _L_lock_10625 () at malloc.c:5209 #2 0x2ab6dd5c3fa7 in __GI__

2013-01-30 Thread Reuben Thomas

How to test if I've got openpty?

2013-01-30 Thread Reuben Thomas
I've included the openpty module in a project, and I see that it doesn't work on all platforms. I assumed that I should test HAVE_OPENPTY to see if I got it, but HAVE_OPENPTY is undefined in my config.h, even though it's set to 1 in config.log. Further, I don't see how HAVE_OPENPTY can be 0, since
