Thanks. Behind that, however, it runs into this compiler shortcoming: cc: build/src.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.5/numpy/core/src/npymath/npy_math.c "numpy/core/src/npymath/npy_math_private.h", line 229: invalid type for bit-field: manh "numpy/core/src/npymath/npy_math_private.h", line 230: invalid type for bit-field: manl
It seems that Sun compilers (before Sun Studio 12, C compiler 5.9), don't support bit fields larger than 32-bits. Welcome to my world :) You can see a discussion of this here: http://www.mail-archive.com/tools-disc...@opensolaris.org/msg02634.html and the release notes for Sun C compiler 5.9 here: http://docs.sun.com/source/820-4155/c.html The best solution I've been able to dream up is to use a macro to get at the manh bitfield on these older compilers. This fix does seem to pass the "test_umath.py" unit tests. It's not as clean as the bit-field method, but it should be more portable. You can see what I'm getting at in the attached (rough) patch. Can you think of a better solution? If this is *the* solution, we may want to add getters/setters for all the members (sign, exp, manl) and fix nextafterl in terms of those, just for consistency.
