Since I can't test this, I'm just adding a comment. If we get access
to AIX boxes, we can test this and really resolve. Anyone from IBM
want to offer help?
Backport candidate I suppose.
Fix segfault. I tried to write a test, but it wouldn't crash
when running regrtest. This really should have some sort of test.
Should definitely be backported.
about illegal code points. The codec now supports PEP 293 style error handlers.
(This is a variant of the Nik Haldimann's patch that detects truncated data)
VC++6 doesn't accept them.
This *will* result in tons of the following warning from gcc 3.x:
(gcc "2.96ish" doesn't issue this warning)
warning: integer constant is too large for "long" type
the code compiles fine regardless. squashing the gcc warnings
is the next task.
Would someone on windows please confirm that this does or does not
compile and if it does or does not pass the test_hashlib.py unit
tests.
A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules. It adds
support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512. The
hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized
implementations of algorithms when available. The old md5 and sha
modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards
compatibility.
