* Changes to a recent patch by Chris Tismer to errors.c. Chris' patch
always used FormatMessage() to get the error message passing the error code
from errno - but errno and FormatMessage use a different numbering scheme.
The main reason the patch looked OK was that ENOFILE==ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND -
but that is about the only shared error code :-). The MS CRT docs tell you
to use _sys_errlist()/_sys_nerr. My patch does also this, and adds a very
similar function specifically for win32 error codes.
PR#175 -- when exec is passed a code object, it didn't sync the locals
from the dictionary back into their fast representation.
Also took the time to remove some repetitive code there and to do the
syncing even when an exception is raised (since a partial effect
should still be synced).
* in import.c, #ifdef out references to dynamic loading based on
HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING
* clean out the platform-specific crud from importdl.c.
[ maybe fold this function into import.c and drop the importdl.c file? Greg.]
* change GetDynLoadFunc's "funcname" parameter to "shortname". change
"name" to "fqname" for clarification.
* each GetDynLoadFunc now creates its own funcname value.
WARNING: as I mentioned previously, we may run into an issue with a
missing "_" on some platforms. Testing will show this pretty quickly,
however.
* move pathname munging into dynload_shlib.c
Here's a patch that avoids a warning caused by the "const char* pathname"
declaration for _PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc (in dynload_aix). The "aix_load"
function's 1st arg is prototyped as "char *pathname".
