[pypy-issue] [issue1119] Py_GetArgcArgv not exposed

[Jon Oberheide]

Jon Oberheide <jonojono at umich.edu> added the comment:

Ran into this also.

The argv clobbering done by many of these libraries is kind of ghetto in the 
first place. While Linux-specific, exposing prctl(2) would be nice for 
PR_{GET,SET}_NAME.

Is there any precedent for pypy exposing new functionality that isn't present in 
upstream cpython? IIRC, upstream punting on exposing prcrtl.
