Well, only by accident; Neal's amd64 machine has been offline, or you would have seen yellow blocks for warnings: ctypes has yet to be Pyssizet'ed. Do
Do compiler warnings create yellow blocks? There are other warnings on other machines as well. OTOH, testing ctypes (see below) can cause core dumps, these should create orange blinking blocks ;-)
you want to do that yourself, or do you want me to submit a patch? (Or I could just check it in ;)
You can do it faster then me, I assume - so go ahead and check it in. I'll backport it to the upstream ctypes CVS repository.
after I disabled a test that dumped coreon sparc solaris. The crash was apparently caused
Ohh, mystery. Do we get to guess what it was apparently caused by? :)
It was caused by a test that did access misaligned integer fields in a structure. ctypes isn't yet able to handle this, but probably should steal the code for it from the struct module. But the change is not trivial I fear because of the access macros that also handle bit fields in structures.
And I never had tried it before on a sparc machine - all the intel and ppc processors seem to have no problems with it.
