STINNER Victor added the comment: It looks like fpsetmask() was deprecated since many years, and that fedisableexcept() is available since FreeBSD 5.3. Since we try to support FreeBSD 9, it's fine to drop support of FreeBSD < 5.3.
I'm concerned by the "CAVEATS" section below. Should we put "#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON" in all .c file using a C double? @skrah: I saw this pragma in Modules/_decimal/libmpdec/mpdecimal.c. Any idea if applying this patch is fine? Maybe we can start by applying it to the default branch? If this patch is required to support arm64, I think that it's ok to apply it to 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 since we still accept changes to fix platform compatibility issues. http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/3/fpsetmask/ --- DESCRIPTION The routines described herein are deprecated. New code should use the functionality provided by fenv(3). --- http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/3/fenv/ --- HISTORY The <fenv.h> header first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3. It supersedes the non-standard routines defined in <ieeefp.h> and documented in fpgetround(3). CAVEATS The FENV_ACCESS pragma can be enabled with #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON --- ---------- nosy: +haypo, skrah _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24520> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
