New submission from koobs: In my current attempt to create a FreeBSD port for python35, I've come across a patch rejection for the fcntlmodule.c for a local port patch we've been carrying since Python 2.6:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/lang/python27/files/patch-Modules__fcntlmodule.c?revision=391238&view=markup The original commit log for this change is: ==================================== Fix fcntl module to accept 'unsigned long' type commands for ioctl(2). Although POSIX says the type is 'int', all BSD variants (including Mac OS X) have been using 'unsigned long' type for very long time and its use predates the standard long enough. For certain commands (e.g., TIOCSWINSZ, FIONBIO), the Python value may get sign-extended on 64-bit platforms (by implicit type promotion) and it causes annoying warnings from kernel such as this: WARNING pid 24509 (python2.6): ioctl sign-extension ioctl ffffffff8004667e ==================================== I'm not sure how this should be fixed upstream, nor clear on how to re-patch it given recent changes to fcntlmodule.c ---------- components: Interpreter Core keywords: easy messages: 250163 nosy: koobs priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: (FreeBSD/OSX) Fix fcntl module to accept 'unsigned long' type commands for ioctl(2). type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25026> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
