New submission from Ulrich Eckhardt <eckha...@satorlaser.com>: GetFileAttributes[W|A] returns a DWORD with this value when it couldn't determine the file's attributes. In the Python codebase, there are basically three values this is compared with, the above macro, 0xffffffff and (DWORD)-1, it should only be the macro.
However, this macro isn't defined in some SDKs (I don't remember if those were early MSVC versions or some MS Windows CE SDKs), so we also need to work around that. I'm currently preparing a patch that resolves those including the workaround when the macro isn't defined. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 79535 nosy: eckhardt severity: normal status: open title: Use INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES instead of magic numbers versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4905> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
