This is supposed to fix compilation problems of the curses
module on SGI, and is based on the patch from 2.39 to 2.40
This should fix bug #116172
From the 2.39->2.40 log:
* Check for 'sgi' preprocessor symbol, not '__sgi__'
* Surround individual character macros with #ifdef's, instead of making them
all rely on STRICT_SYSV_CURSES
Metacomment: this is as much to test procedures as it is
to actually fix the bug. If you're a CVS wizard please look
at the checkin message to see I'm commiting correctly,
and e-mail me if not, and I'll do my best to back it out and
reread the docos.
Good luck to me.
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.
All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:
long
func(a, b)
long a;
long b; /* flagword */
{
and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)
Lots of typo fixes (a bit too much cut-and-paste in this module)
Aliases removed: attr_on, attr_off, attr_set
Lowercased the names COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER
#ifdef's for compiling on Solaris added (need to understand SYSV curses
versions better and generalize this)
Bumped version number bumped to 1.6

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
