New submission from Zachary Ware: Nosy list copied from #23085.
Here's a patch that deprecates building _ctypes with the bundled copy of libffi (Modules/_ctypes/libffi/). The default on all platforms (other than Windows) is now to use a system copy of libffi; use the '--without-system-ffi' flag to ./configure to use the bundled copy. On non-Darwin platforms, a warning will be emitted noting that Modules/_ctypes/libffi will not be distributed with 3.7. ---------- components: Build files: deprecate_bundled_libffi.diff keywords: patch messages: 274576 nosy: Arfrever, Chi Hsuan Yen, berker.peksag, chris.jerdonek, doko, fabiovmp, gustavotemple, koobs, lemburg, meador.inge, ned.deily, r.david.murray, steve.dower, tim.golden, xdegaye, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Deprecate building with bundled copy of libffi on non-Darwin POSIX platforms type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file44399/deprecate_bundled_libffi.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27976> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
