[issue7272] test_multiprocessing fails consistently with 'signal 12' on FreeBSD 6.2 buildbot.

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Hmm. It seems that hijacking the existing HAVE_BROKEN_POSIX_SEMAPHORES wasn't a good idea. I was surprised to find that OS X defines _POSIX_SEMAPHORES to -1, indicating a lack of POSIX semaphore support. -- ___ P

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Merged to py3k, release31-maint in r76566, r76567. David, I think we're ready to enable POSIX semaphore support on the FreeBSD 7.2 buildbot now, if you get the chance. -- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed __

[issue7048] decimal.py: logb: round the result if it is greater than prec

Mark Dickinson added the comment: There's a restriction on the second argument to scaleb in the spec, namely that scaleb should be in the range -2*(Emax + precision) to 2*(Emax + precision) inclusive. This restriction seems entirely arbitrary and unnecessary to me. My guess is that it's ther

Mark Dickinson added the comment: I think it's actually easier for the user if we keep the exception type as it is, so that it's clear which flag it corresponds to. This didn't occur to me until I looked at the section of the doctests (around line 100 in decimal.py) that looks like: >>> pri

[issue3944] faster long multiplication

Mark Dickinson added the comment: I'm going to close this: it's a really nice idea, but after the 30-bit long digits were implemented, the speedup doesn't seem to be worth the extra code complication. The only situation I've found where this optimization really does make a big difference is
