I think the configure step on linux generates the pyconfig.h file which contains #define Py_DEBUG 1
On Windows, the pyconfig.h file comes from Python/PCBuild/pyconfig.h which seems to be hand generated and contains: #ifdef _DEBUG # define Py_DEBUG #endif I suppose the reason this was done is that configure is not used on Windows; instead we rely on the configuration types of Visual Studio to pick between debug and release builds. Most users of Boost.python would not want this set anyway which is why boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp exists to suppress the automatic definition of Py_DEBUG on windows in debug builds.

I'm wondering where to fix this. Boost.build? in boost/python.hpp itself? -t _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential.
