New submission from Riku Voipio: Getdents system call was superseded with with getdents64 in Linux 2.4 (January 2001). New architectures, such as 64-Bit ARM opt out not to support legacy system calls, and getdents is one of them.
Since getdents64 has been supported for over a decade, I don't think adding ifdef to support both makes sense. Using getdents64 cleans up the current _posixsubprocess code as the entries are long long everywhere. The attached patch makes _posixsubprocess module compile on 64-Bit ARM and causes on regressions on the python3.3 testsuite on x86 and x86_64 ---------- components: Extension Modules files: movetogetdents64.diff keywords: patch messages: 179937 nosy: riku-voipio priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: _posixsubprocess module uses outdated getdents system call versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file28723/movetogetdents64.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16962> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
