I don't have a bug report, but I have had issues in my audiolab package, where the package itself is built with visual studio, but the library it is linked against is built with mingw (libsndfile, which cannot be built with visual studio). The problem happens when you want to use the mingw-built library which accepts a file descriptor that you create with mkstemp inside code built with Visual Studio. This issue is actually quite easy to reproduce. > I don't remember this being a real practical issue, at least > not for different versions of the MS CRTs. I would turn the question around: what are the cases where you manage to mix CRT and not getting any issues ? This has never worked in my own experience in the context of python extensions, cheers, David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
