New submission from Jason Morgan <jas...@picochip.com>:
Bulding a simple extension (the spam example) fails with mingw64.
in modsupport.h, the following is used to detect 64bit, it does not work with
mingw64.
#if SIZEOF_SIZE_T != SIZEOF_INT
/* On a 64-bit system, rename the Py_InitModule4 so that 2.4
modules cannot get loaded into a 2.5 interpreter */
#define Py_InitModule4 Py_InitModule4_64
#endif
This code never compiles, you can test this by placing similar code and filling
it with rubbish.
This means it thinks the extension is being built on a 32bit compiler and
creates the wrong call for Py_InitModule.
Workaround:
Explicitly calling Py_InitModule4_64() in extension and declaring
Py_InitModule4_64(...) in code. Note this does not complain about
re-declaration and builds OK because declaration is wrong.
e.g.
//m=Py_InitModule("spam", SpamMethods);
m = Py_InitModule4_64("spam", SpamMethods,(char *)NULL, (PyObject *)NULL,
PYTHON_API_VERSION);
Or, a better more portable permanent fix, define WIN64 in code and
modify modsupport.h:
#if SIZEOF_SIZE_T != SIZEOF_INT || defined(WIN64)
/* On a 64-bit system, rename the Py_InitModule4 so that 2.4
modules cannot get loaded into a 2.5 interpreter */
#define Py_InitModule4 Py_InitModule4_64
#endif
I am sure there are other, more standard ways.
