delta/cpython.git/Python/dynload_aix.c, branch v2.5b2

Fix SF bug #1072182, problems with signed characters.

2005-12-19T06:05:18+00:00

Most of these can be backported.

Include Python.h first which defines _XOPEN_SOURCE

2003-03-22T16:35:37+00:00

which allows the file to compile and removes a warning about _XOPEN_SOURCE
being redefined (works on AIX 4.3 and 5.1 at least).

Fix SF #639945, 64-bit bug on AIX

2002-12-31T00:06:24+00:00

I can't test this on the snake farm (no aix box is working).
This change works for the submitter seems correct.
Can anybody test this on 32- and 64- bit AIX?

SF patch 568629 by Oren Tirosh: types made callable.

2002-06-14T20:41:17+00:00

These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type:

    slice()
    buffer()

and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named
function named after them)

    classobj (type name used to be "class")
    code
    function
    instance
    instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method")

The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility
placeholder in Python.

A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from
various platform-specific build recipes.  The following binary Mac
project files still have references to it:

    Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp
    Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp
    Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp

[I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and
added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring.  --Guido]

aix_loaderror(): Conversion of sprintf() to PyOS_snprintf() for buffer

2001-11-28T21:35:49+00:00

overrun avoidance.

Fix the char* vs. const char* mismatch for the argument of aix_loaderror()

2000-09-04T00:54:56+00:00

REMOVED all CWI, CNRI and BeOpen copyright markings.

2000-09-01T23:29:29+00:00

This should match the situation in the 1.6b1 tree.

ANSIfy as many declarations as possible.

2000-07-22T23:38:01+00:00

Mass ANSIfication of function definitions. Doesn't cover all 'extern'

2000-07-22T18:47:25+00:00

declarations yet, those come later.

Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in either

2000-07-16T12:04:32+00:00

comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").

There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
