Well "they do it that way" is not a justification that necessarily works for
OpenBSD :-).
I'll see if I can come up with a diff to fix this in Python. Not this weekend
though, maybe next week. Unless Remi do you wa

Not that I'm unsympathetic but this is really only a concern if you depend on
the internal structure layout and I think if you do that, you need to take
account of differences between platforms. We don't guarantee we aren't going to

Hi
The second one is correct - OpenBSD -current has this in event.h:
struct kevent {
u_int ident; /* identifier for this event */
short filter; /* filter for event */
u_short flags
Nicholas Marriott added the comment:
To follow up a little - I'm afraid that you should not depend on the internal
layout of structures like this. We clearly document the kevent structure in
kevent(2), and of course beyond that it is of course dependent on C padding
rules.
It isn&#x

Hi
This is not an OpenBSD bug.
kqueue is not standardized. There is no reason for the ident member to be
uintptr_t over u_int - either is valid, and so far I don't see any reason for
us to try and change it.

I was going to test this on sparc64 (I no longer have access to amd64)
but I've been busy/on holiday, I'll try to do it this week.

It's not the return value, it's the request argument (second argument).
I thought SUSv3 had it as an int, but looking again its ioctl seems to
be a) optional and b) all about STREAMS, so I don't think it applies:

Okay, looks like my guess was correct. The diff at the end of this mail
makes it work on OpenBSD/amd64 and it continues to work on i386, but it
will probably break Linux (due to the problem it was working around

I can also reproduce this on OpenBSD/amd64 and was one of the people who
discussed it with the submitter before he created this report.
