Usually, we prefer to not provide the function in Python if it is known to be broken. Other examples: - HAVE_BROKEN_POLL: don't declare select.poll() - HAVE_BROKEN_PTHREAD_SIGMASK: don't declare signal.pthread_sigmask() There are also HAVE_BROKEN_NICE and HAVE_BROKEN_UNSETENV. Sorry, I'm too lazy to hack configure.ac, so I used a simple #ifdef in Modules/posixmodule.c to define "POSIX_FADVISE_AIX_BUG". If you feel more confortable with autotools, don't hesitate to propose a better patch :-) I consider that the issue is now fixed. @David: You should check with IBM why they don't fix the issue. ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22396> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
