[issue23042] ctypes module doesn't build on FreeBSD x86
Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: I would prefer to have someone with good libffi knowledge to chime in here. It's easy to just revert the patch, but it may be even better to upgrade the included libffi lib. But probably not to 3.2.1, since this still has the same bug it seems: https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/blob/v3.2.1/src/x86/ffi.c#L401 -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23042 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis added the comment: Modules/_ctypes/libffi in branches 2.7, 3.4, default is currently a copy of libffi 3.1. Is problem reproducible with libffi 3.2.1? If not, then it might be better to update Modules/_ctypes/libffi to libffi 3.2.1. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23042 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Davin Potts added the comment: Inheriting the priority from issue22634 which has been marked closed-duplicate (duplicate of this issue). Previously issue22634 was given a priority of release blocker by @pitrou. Issue22634 described how this issue also afflicts 32-bit builds on multiple RHEL release versions. -- nosy: +benjamin.peterson, berker.peksag, larry, pitrou priority: normal - release blocker ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23042 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Davin Potts added the comment: Attaching a patch which enabled successful compilation of ctypes on FreeBSD 10.1 i386-RELEASE in each of default/3.5, 3.4, and 2.7 branches. This patch attempts to fix the incomplete logic regarding Windows target platforms in the ifdef's inside Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/x86/ffi.c which at times tested for X86_WIN64 but not X86_WIN32 inside corresponding #else clauses (and vice versa). This especially needs to be tested on a 32-bit Windows system -- I do not have one handy so help testing it there (and elsewhere) would be much appreciated. -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38561/issue_23042_fix_windows_ifdefs_py35_and_py34_and_py27.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23042 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Davin Potts added the comment: Reading issue22634 suggests that perhaps this issue is not limited to FreeBSD -- issue22634 appears to suffer the same behavior on RHEL 6.4 and 5.5 when compiling to 32-bit (the -m32 compiler flag is being used there). -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23042 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
