I was trying to run a build report and I started to get failures parsing binary
Depex files. I tracked it down to struct.unpack("LHHBBBBBBBB",
DepexFile.read(16)) throwing an error that the size required was 20 not 16.
After digging around I found out that struct.calcsize ("L") == 8 for 64-bit
version of Python, so the Python documentation is misleading about the sizeof
"L". It looks like "I" is a more portable way to represent a 32-bit number.
~/edk2(master)>python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import struct
>>> struct.calcsize ("L")
8
>>> struct.calcsize ("I")
4
Thanks,
