[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Python Interpreter Core
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: Platform-specific
Priority: 5

Summary: OpenBSD Problems with _funlockfile in fileobject.c

Details: When I compile the current CVS version of Python on OpenBSD 2.8, I
get the following linker error:

    ld: _funlockfile: non-function jmpslot
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    *** Error code 1

This function was first added to Python in version 2.97 of "fileobject.c".

Comment:
It's gotta be more complicated that that.  The configure script has a test
program that calls flockfile(), getc_unlocked(), and funlockfile().  Only
if this test program links successfully does it decide to use
getc_unlocked().  (Making the test depend on successfully *running* it
shouldn't make a difference -- the user here got a link-time error.)

jpettit, is there a way you could find out why the configure test succeeds
but then you get a link error linking Python?

I'll also ask Thomas Wouters to look into this.

Ho ho ho:  so this means some flavor of Unix has getc_unlocked() but not
the flockfile() and funlockfile() that are supposed to come with it?  Man,
Windows looks better every day <wink> -- and so does the
getline_via_fgets() hack ...
