Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Timothy Fitz (timothyfitz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Fails assertion in winsig.c under VC 8.0 Initial Comment: In 2.4 and current cvs initsignal in signalmodule.c calls PyOS_getsig which calls signal with an invalid signal number. Under VC 7.1 (and 7.0, and probably before) this would return SIG_ERR however under VC 8.0 (beta) this causes an assertion failure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.

Löwis (loewis) Date: 2005-04-02 00:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 C99 7.14.1.1/p8 specifies # If the request can be honored, the signal function # returns the value of func for the most recent successful # call to signal for the specified signal sig. Otherwise, a # value of SIG_ERR is returned and a positive value is stored # in errno. So it seems to me that VC8 is in error: the request cannot be "honored", so it should return SIG_ERR. Until/if VC8 is released with that bug, I would like to take no action here. When it is released, we still might consider to ignore it until say, 8.1 comes along and fixes the bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2005-03-27 22:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Ew. My first thought is, is that allowed by ANSI C? I'd guess it's undefined behaviour. It still seems excessively unfriendly -- have you reported this to MS? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1167262&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
