[2.7] bpo-10746: Fix ctypes PEP 3118 type codes for c_long, c_bool, c_int (GH-31)
Ctypes currently produces wrong pep3118 type codes for several types.
E.g. memoryview(ctypes.c_long()).format gives "<l" on 64-bit platforms,
but it should be "<q" instead for sizeof(c_long) == 8
The problem is that the '<>' endian specification in the struct syntax
also turns on the "standard size" mode, which makes type characters have
a platform-independent meaning, which does not match with the codes used
internally in ctypes. The struct module format syntax also does not
allow specifying native-size non-native-endian items.
This commit adds a converter function that maps the internal ctypes
codes to appropriate struct module standard-size codes in the pep3118
format strings. The tests are modified to check for this..
(cherry picked from commit 07f1658aa0)
* Initialize restype and flags fields to fix a crash when Python runs on a
read-only file system
* Use Py_ssize_t type rather than int for the "i" iterator variable
* Reorder assignements to be able to more easily check if all fields are
initialized
Issue #11048. Initial patch written by Marcin Bachry.
This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
to fix the grammar.
* Set but unused variable in Parser/pgen.c in non-debug builds. Patch by
Christian Heimes.
* Unused static function in Modules/readline.c. Patch by Georg Brandl.
* main_window unused in Modules/tkappinit.c. Patch by Gregory P. Smith.
* Dead assignment in Modules/_ctypes/cfield.c. Extracted from patch by Brett
Cannon.
* Expression result unused in PyObject_INIT macro expansions. Based on
patches by Christian Heimes.
* Load expat_config.h and therefore pyconfig.h before C stdlib headers are
loaded. This silences pre-processor warnings including '_POSIX_C_SOURCE
redefined'. Extracted from patch by Christian Heimes.
