Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Malte proposed this patch for inclusion into Python 2.5. In its current form, I'm skeptical about doing so, as it has the potential for breakage.
IIUC, the patch requires that HZ is defined if HAVE_TIMES is defined and HAVE_SYSCONF is not; plus it requires _SC_CLK_TCK to be defined if HAVE_SYSCONF is defined. For 2.5, such additional constraints are not acceptable. Instead, the patch should guarantee compilation of posixmodule if 2.5.2 allowed compilation, no matter how confused the system is. If some of the prerequisites are not met, it is OK if either os.times is absent, or produces bogus results. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1040026> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
