[New-bugs-announce] [issue16953] select module compile errors with broken poll()

[Jeffrey Armstrong]

New submission from Jeffrey Armstrong:

On a platform with a broken poll() function (as detected during configure), Modules/selectmodule.c fails to compile.  The error occurs at two points:

./Modules/selectmodule.c:2100: `select_poll' undeclared here (not in a function)
./Modules/selectmodule.c:2100: initializer element is not constant
./Modules/selectmodule.c:2100: (near initialization for `select_methods[1].ml_meth')
./Modules/selectmodule.c:2100: `poll_doc' undeclared here (not in a function)
./Modules/selectmodule.c:2100: initializer element is not constant
./Modules/selectmodule.c:2100: (near initialization for `select_methods[1].ml_doc')
./Modules/selectmodule.c: In function `PyInit_select':
./Modules/selectmodule.c:2159: `poll_Type' undeclared (first use in this function)
./Modules/selectmodule.c:2159: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
./Modules/selectmodule.c:2159: for each function it appears in.)

The problem is occurring because both "select_poll" and "poll_Type" are undeclared if HAVE_BROKEN_POLL is declared.  The fix would be on two lines:

selectmodule.c:2099
#ifdef(HAVE_POLL)
should be:
#if defined(HAVE_POLL) && !defined(HAVE_BROKEN_POLL)

selectmodule.c:2149
#if defined(HAVE_POLL)
should be:
#if defined(HAVE_POLL) && !defined(HAVE_BROKEN_POLL)

Making these two minor changes allows selectmodule.c to compile fine in the case where the platform has a "broken" poll().

This bug was found on m68k-atari-mint compiling using gcc 2.95.3
