Re: [Python-Dev] Include C++ code in the ctypes test suite?

To test this functionality it is required to add some C++ source code to the ctypes private test module _ctypes_test.pyd/_ctypes_test.so.

Is it appropriate to add C++ source files to the Python repository, or would that create too much trouble on some platforms?

How about creating an additional test library ctypes_test_cpp.cpp? This way we can still run the ctypes tests on a platform without a C++ compiler. Of course you could add some preprocessor magic but that's just another way to ask for trouble. A second test library should make it easier. Christian
