-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Looks like I don't know C so well after all ...
Apparently at least gcc on Linux exports all symbols by default that are not static. This creates problems with Python extensions that export symbols that are also used in other contexts. For example some people use Python and the sqlite3 module under Apache, and the sqlite3 module exports a symbol cache_init, but cache_init is also used by Apache's mod_cache module. Thus there are crashes when using the sqlite3 module that only occur in the mod_python context. Can somebody with more knowledge about C tell me how to fix the sqlite3 module or compiler settings for distutils so that this does not happen? Of course this only happens because the sqlite3 module is distributed among multiple .c files and thus I couldn't make everything "static". Thanks in advance. - -- Gerhard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFFW9UdIO4ozGCH14RApFQAKC+BJd8mGlCXJa89swOcMvASoj6GgCfZxf+ tZ/iVO8xTEV7qNeXBcDT0WU= =lX07 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
