Nadeem Vawda <nadeem.va...@gmail.com> added the comment: Here is an update patch, which corrects a typo in the previous patch, and adds a test to test_zlib.
The test uses a memory-mapped sparse file, so it gets skipped on systems without mmap. The alternative would be to allocate a 4+GB buffer of ordinary memory, causes heavy swapping on my machine (4GB of RAM). The test also gets skipped on 32-bit builds, where the address space is too small for this bug to arise. I'm not sure whether the test can count on the created file actually being sparse, so I had the test require the 'largefile' resource, to be on the safe side. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20543/zlib-v2.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10276> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
