New submission from yippi:
Note I am building Python 3.3 with the Sun Studio compiler on Solaris 11. When
I run the tests, I get these 2 ctypes errors:
======================================================================
FAIL: test_ints (ctypes.test.test_bitfields.C_Test)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/builds/bacamero/ul/components/python/python33/Python-3.3.0/Lib/ctypes/test/test_bitfields.py",
line 40, in test_ints
self.assertEqual(getattr(b, name), func(byref(b), name.encode('ascii')))
AssertionError: -1 != 1
======================================================================
FAIL: test_shorts (ctypes.test.test_bitfields.C_Test)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/builds/bacamero/ul/components/python/python33/Python-3.3.0/Lib/ctypes/test/test_bitfields.py",
line 47, in test_shorts
self.assertEqual(getattr(b, name), func(byref(b), name.encode('ascii')))
AssertionError: -32 != 32
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I see almost identical errors in Python 2.6 and 2.7. The same two tests fail,
though the format of the error message is a bit different. For example it
looks like this in 2.7:
AssertionError: Tuples differ: ('A', 1, -1) != ('A', 1, 1)
AssertionError: Tuples differ: ('R', 32, -32) != ('R', 32, 32)
I made a simple standalone test program that prints out all the values
instead of stopping on first failure. The script and output is attached
for reference.
I think this might be related to issue #16275. On Solaris 11 we are building
Python with the configure --with -system-ffi argument. On Solaris 11, libffi
3.0.9 is used. I tried updating libffi to the latest 3.0.11 version and
rebuilding, but that did not help.
Any pointers about how to debug this would be helpful. It is not clear to me
if this is a libffi issue, a compiler issue, a problem in Python or something
else. Is there any additional information I could provide to help track this
down?
