- add double endianness detection to configure script
- add configure-time check to see whether we can use inline
assembly to get and set x87 control word in configure script
- add functions to get and set x87 control word in Python/pymath.c
- add pyport.h logic to determine whether it's safe to use the
short float repr or not
Some functions in the msvcrt module are skipped,
and socket.ioctl is enabled only when using a more recent Platform SDK.
(and yes, there are still companies that use a 10-years old compiler)
The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)
in pyconfig.h, NTDDI_WIN2KSP4 is not *yet* defined, but will be at some point on some modules.
Let this line even for older SDKs, they don't use it anyway.
I applied the same changes manually to VS7.1 and VC6 files; completely untested.
(Christian, don't try too hard merging this change into py3k.
It will be easier to do the same work again on the branch)
Added Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULES macro to set WINVER and NTDDI_VERSION to Windows 2000 for core modules, too
Added -d option to build.bat (same as -c Debug) and fixed warning about /build option
Updated Windows related readme.txt files
* Removed a #define from pyconfig.h. The macro was already defined a few lines higher.
* Fixed path to tix in the build_tkinter.py script
* Changed make_buildinfo.c to use versions of unlink and strcat which are considered safe by Windows (as suggested by MvL).
* Removed two defines from pyproject.vsprops that are no longer required. Both are defined in pyconfig.h and make_buildinfo.c doesn't use the unsafe versions any more (as suggested by MvL).
* Added some more information about PGO and the property files to PCbuild9/readme.txt.
Are you fine with the changes, Martin?
