You can allow up to 8 segments, which represent 2GB: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v2r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itame3.doc_5.1/am51_perftune113.htm We could change the option to become: --with-aix-maxdata=value where value could be between 0 and 8, with a default at 0 (nothing passed to the compiler). Would that be OK with you? The good news is that thanks to this patch I was able to play the full python test suite on AIX: 313 tests OK. 8 tests failed: test_asyncore test_cmath test_distutils test_fileio test_locale test_resource test_time test_wait4 16 tests skipped: test_ctypes test_curses test_dbm_gnu test_epoll test_gdb test_kqueue test_largefile test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_startfile test_tk test_ttk_guionly test_unicode_file test_winreg test_winsound test_zipfile64 Not too bad. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11212> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
