Zooko O'Whielacronx <zo...@zooko.com> added the comment: Martin (sometimes called "MvL") mentioned some specific issues about e.g.
#pragma redefine_extname sigwait __posix_sigwait I didn't understand exactly what MvL's concern was, and I don't know off the top of my head how Solaris sigwait behavior differs with _XOPEN_SOURCE, and I haven't taken the time to investigate yet, so I haven't replied. (Of course, last time I was in that state and I dropped the ball, this ticket stayed quiet for a full year...) Perhaps John Levon could inquire what semantics MvL is concerned about and let him know what the Solaris behavior is. I think it would be cool if the python executable that people use on Solaris were closer to upstream python. Currently, as I've mentioned, the Solaris folks maintain some kind of tool (I think it is a perl script) which searches and replaces "#define _XOPEN_SOURCE" to empty as well as applying a few patches. It would be great if the Solaris and Python folks would cooperate to close that gap. Speaking of which, if John Levon or other Solaris folk are reading -- where are those patches? This file mentions a bunch of patches, starting with: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/jds/spec-files/trunk/SUNWPython.spec 28 Patch1: Python-01-solaris-lib-dirs.diff But I can't seem to find "Python-01-solaris-lib-dirs.diff".
