This modifies the behavior of the '-e' flag to PCbuild\build.bat: when '-e'
is not supplied, no attempt will be made to build extension modules that
require external libraries, even if the external libraries are present.
Also adds '--no-<module>' flags to PCbuild\build.bat, where '<module>' is
one of 'ssl', 'tkinter', or 'bsddb', to allow skipping just those modules
(if '-e' is given).
The ICC compiler doesn't seem to support defined() in macro expansion. Example
of warning:
warning #3199: "defined" is always false in a macro expansion in Microsoft mode
* Call _Py_CheckFunctionResult() to check for bugs in type
constructors (tp_new)
* Add assertions to ensure an exception was raised if tp_init failed
or that no exception was raised if tp_init succeed
Refactor also the function to have less indentation.
datetime.datetime now round microseconds to nearest with ties going away from
zero (ROUND_HALF_UP), as Python 2 and Python older than 3.3, instead of
rounding towards -Infinity (ROUND_FLOOR).
eintr_tester.py calls signal.setitimer() to send signals to the current process
every 100 ms. The test sometimes hangs on FreeBSD. Maybe there is a race
condition in the child process after fork(). It's unsafe to run arbitrary code
after fork().
This change replace os.fork() with a regular call to subprocess.Popen(). This
change avoids the risk of having a child process which continue to execute
eintr_tester.py instead of exiting. It also ensures that the child process
doesn't inherit unexpected file descriptors by mistake.
Since I'm unable to reproduce the issue on FreeBSD, I will have to watch
FreeBSD buildbots to check if the issue is fixed or not.
Remove previous attempt to debug: remove call to
faulthandler.dump_traceback_later().
Don't check anymore at runtime that the monotonic clock doesn't go backward.
Yes, it happens. It occurs sometimes each month on a Debian buildbot slave
running in a VM.
The problem is that Python cannot do anything useful if a monotonic clock goes
backward. It was decided in the PEP 418 to not fix the system, but only expose
the clock provided by the OS.
