New submission from Thomas Wouters <tho...@python.org>: This patch adds support for the GCC visibility attributes to the PyAPI_* macros (currently only used for Windows.) GCC's default visibility is 'public', but can be changed to 'hidden' with the '-fvisibility=hidden' argument; see http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility. This patch does not make the build use that, it merely makes Python function correctly when the default visibility *is* changed. (The benefit of building Python with -fvisibility=hidden is very small, as it causes only a handful of symbols to not be exported. When embedding Python, though, this can make a lot of difference.)
The patch also fixes a few modules that don't use PyMODINIT_FUNC for their module-init function definitions, like they should. ---------- files: gcc-visibility.diff keywords: needs review, patch messages: 130143 nosy: twouters priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Use GCC visibility attrs in PyAPI_* Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file21014/gcc-visibility.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11410> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
