[issue10262] Add --soabi option to `configure`
Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: I think we've had plenty of time to adjust to the abi tags. Does anybody think that nearly 3 years later anything really needs to be done here? -- resolution: - wont fix status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue10262] Add --soabi option to `configure`
Matthias Klose d...@debian.org added the comment: shouldn't that option work on platforms too, which currently default to not using the soabi? It would make sense for all posix, and macos, maybe not for Windows. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue10262] Add --soabi option to `configure`
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc amaur...@gmail.com added the comment: The soabi tag could be useful on Windows as well, for example if some package maintainer chooses another version of the compiler, or a custom version of MSVCRT. And FWIW, PyPy currently uses --soabi=pypy-1.4 on all platforms: import foo will load foo.pypy-14.so (foo.pypy-14.pyd on Windows). There are also some specific abiflags. A difference is that PyPy will also ignore the default foo.so, because extension modules built for CPython will likely crash with PyPy. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue10262] Add --soabi option to `configure`
Barry A. Warsaw ba...@python.org added the comment: Amaury, did you see my suggestion re $SOBASE and $SOEXTRA? Also, do you think you can write some tests, even if they only run on a single platform? I suspect the Makefile.pre.in part of the patch will have to be updated now. Please be sure to test your changes with --enable-shared as well to make sure everything gets installed correctly. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: What's the status of this? It sounds like it something that should be taken care of before the 3.2 release, but I know there has been other activity in this area and I haven't looked closely enough to understand the issues involved. -- nosy: +r.david.murray type: - feature request ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue10262] Add --soabi option to `configure`
Barry A. Warsaw ba...@python.org added the comment: Of course, you don't change configure directly, you change configure.in and let autoconf update the configure (but you already know that I'm sure :). The patch looks fairly reasonable, though I haven't tried it. One question: does $SO have the same value after your patch as before? That's a variable available via sysconfig and it looks like you're removing a block of code that sets it. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue10262] Add --soabi option to `configure`
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc amaur...@gmail.com added the comment: The value of get_config_var(SO) is the same as before, something like .cpython-32.so by default on Linux. (see, I just moved the line SO=.$SOABI$SO at the bottom of the patch). In the C file dynload_shlib.c, I chose the names SO_BASE for the simple extension (.so) and SO_EXTRA for the decorated extension (.cpython-32.so) Is there a way to write unit tests for all this? This would prove that the default behavior is the same as before. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

In the C file dynload_shlib.c, I chose the names SO_BASE for the simple extension (.so) and SO_EXTRA for the decorated extension (.cpython-32.so) Since I used SOABI earlier, what do you think about SOBASE and SOEXTRA for consistency? Is there a way to write unit tests for all this? This would prove that the default behavior is the same as before. It would, but I couldn't think of a way to do that reliably across platform. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue10262] Add --soabi option to `configure`
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc amaur...@gmail.com added the comment: Here is a first patch that adds the --with-soabi option. --with-soabi=yes or --with-soabi sets SOABI to the computed value (cpython-32m when I tried it). This is the default behavior on Linux. --with-soabi=no or --without-soabi sets SOABI to the empty string, and removes the additional searched extensions from imp.get_suffixes(). This is the default behavior on all other platforms. --with-soabi=tag sets SOABI to the given string. Then imp.get_suffixes() contains the following extensions: [.tag.so, module.tag.so, .so, module.so] The patch is not yet complete, it does not modify the suffixes in the dynload_* files for platforms other than Linux. Windows support will come after. It requires more thoughts because there is no Makefile to read at runtime. But it's the first time I change the ./configure script, so please comment on this first patch. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19878/with-soabi.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
