compiling pykde on windows with msvc2010 on a 32bit Windows 7: sipdnssdpart0.cpp R:\include\msvc\sys/types.h(52) : error C2371: 'ssize_t' : redefinition; different basic types c:\python27\include\pyconfig.h(201) : see declaration of 'ssize_t' I can fix this by defining ssize_t as long in pyconfig.h or as int in kdewin/include/msvc/sys/types.h the original files from windows define SSIZE_T as long so to me this seems like a bug in pyconfig.h, it should say typedef _W64 long ssize_t Python27\include\pyconfig.h says (same in Python32): #ifdef MS_WIN64 typedef __int64 ssize_t; #else typedef _W64 int ssize_t; #endif while kdewin/include/msvc/sys/types.h says: typedef SSIZE_T ssize_t; SSIZE_T is defined in Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/Include/BaseTsd.h: typedef LONG_PTR SSIZE_T, *PSSIZE_T; and LONG_PTR from same directory, intsafe.h: #if (__midl > 501) typedef [public] __int3264 LONG_PTR; #else #ifdef _WIN64 typedef __int64 LONG_PTR; #else typedef _W64 long LONG_PTR; #endif // WIN64 #endif // (__midl > 501) for __midl see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367301(v=vs.85).aspx

Where does R:\include\msvc\sys/types.h come from?
msg132571 - (view) Author: Wolfgang Rohdewald (wrohdewald) Date: 2011-03-30 06:50
types.h is from kdewin/include/msvc/sys git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kdewin types.h uses SSIZE_T but that is nowhere defined in KDE, so it must be the original one from msvc

Should Python.h systematically avoid defining symbols without a Py prefix? See attached patch, which defines Py_ssize_t in pyconfig.h. The same can be said for other symbols defined there: pid_t, copysign, hypot.

As Tim Roberts says on the python-win32 list: > Actually, on closer examination, it may be a bit difficult to sell this. The Microsoft compilers do not define this symbol at all. The SDK defines SSIZE_T (as a long). Nothing defines ssize_t. http://code.activestate.com/lists/python-win32/11231/ for the full post. So yeah, the conclusion is that we shouldn't define such symbols incase someone else does too. So conceptually I'm +1 on that patch (I'm yet to try it and probably will not get a chance for a week or 2)

Is the patch acceptable?

Can we have a formal patch review please?

Patch needs updating, and I'd expect pyport.h to start by checking if HAVE_PY_SSIZE_T is defined. Otherwise, we may try to re-typedef Py_ssize_t.
