STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: OpenBSD.
According to Martin, OpenBSD doesn't implement POSIX semaphores. --- I don't have an installation of OpenBSD, but... In FreeBSD, POSIX semaphores are implemented in sys/kern/uipc_sem.c. In http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/kern/ that file doesn't exist. Also, in FreeBSD's limits.h, _POSIX_SEM_NSEMS_MAX is defined (surprisingly to 256); in http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/include/limits.h?rev=1.15;content-type=text/plain this constant doesn't appear. So ISTM that OpenBSD doesn't implement POSIX semaphores. IIUC, this means that the multiprocessing module won't be fully functional, and its tests (and the concurrent.futures tests) will be skipped. --- ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10348> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
