I don’t know anything about AIX specific stuff, but I left some general
comments in the code review.
Is there any chance that AIX people would be relying on the current behaviour
that I understand uses _findSoname_ldconfig() and _findLib_gcc()?
Is this new functionality covered by the test suite? E.g. in
/Lib/ctypes/test/test_find.py, there are tests that call find_library() for GL,
GLU, and gle. Are those libraries common on AIX?
As discussed in Issue 9998, it seems a lot of people use find_library() to help
convert a build-time library name to a run-time shared library name that can be
passed to CDLL() or LoadLibrary(). E.g. on Linux:
>>> find_library("python2.7") # As used in cc . . . -lpython2.7
'libpython2.7.so.1.0'
>>> cdll.LoadLibrary("libpython2.7.so.1.0")
<CDLL 'libpython2.7.so.1.0', handle 7f58e7495000 at 7f58e573ac90>
Does your patch support this kind of use case?
