mirabilos added the comment: Veto on m68k-float-prec.patch for Linux/m68k for now.
Reasoning is same as in #18062 (thanks skrah for linking it): Enabling this *will* break Python on Linux/m68k on the most widespread emulator in all released versions of that emulator (ARAnyM) because the emulator does not handle reducing precision correctly. The same applies to all other m68k OSes running in ARAnyM (FreeMiNT comes to mind, I believe it could run Python). I think this could be applied when a released version of ARAnyM that works correctly even with this patch is in, say, Debian oldstable and RHEL, or something like that. The problem here is that this *will* create a run-time issue. (I had prepared a similar patch, but decided to fix the old dtoa code instead due to the emulator issue.) ---------- nosy: +mirabilos _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20904> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
