Summary: HP-UX: Problem building socket
Initial Comment:
On HP-UX 11, I get errors compiling Python 2.1.1 from
source.
It crashes when parsing sys/socket.h
Here's the offending code:
extern sbsize_t sendfile __((int, int, off_t,
bsize_t,
const struct iovec *,
int));
extern sbsize_t sendpath __((int, char *, off_t,
bsize_t,
const struct iovec *,
int));
When I switch from gcc to cc (native c compiler) the
socket
library compiles, but many other libs don't.
(sidenote: when using cc, cc is noteably faster than
gcc)

Here are the offending lines from socket.h

extern sbsize_t sendpath __((int, char *, off_t, bsize_t,
const struct iovec *, int));
However, my medium c skills tell me that the lines are ok.
I cannot offer an explanation why gcc fails here.

gcc 2.95 does not support HP-UX 11; this appears to be an
instance of that problem. The __va__list problem is not at
all Python-specific; it occurs in many packages (just search
Google for "HP-UX __va__list"). With such problems, there is
no point into looking further into the problem; just drop
the compiler. If you want to port Python to HP-UX and gcc
2.95, you are on your own.
Notice that gcc 3.0.1 *does* support HP-UX 11; I recommend
to upgrade.

I now thought that since the errors happen in a system
header that compiles with
cc and not gcc, why not copy <sys/socket.h> to "socket.h"
and delete the two offending lines.
However, as you see, <sys/socket.h> is still included (why
?).
Another option is using cc just for this library, but I'm
not sure, that the object files are compatible. Using cc
alone creates a lot of non-working modules, although it is
in (extended) ANSI mode.
I also tried the HP Porting centre (http://hpux.asknet.de)
but the Python 2.1 package there -just like mine- does crash
on importing socket (too with 2.2b1)

It would be helpful if you would provide all details in a
report also. When you say "it crashes", did you really
mean "it crashes" (i.e. with a core dump, machine reboot,
or the like)?
If the compiler merely rejected the code, it would be good
to see what the error message was.
Please also report version numbers: HP-UX version, gcc
version, etc. Are you sure you are using a gcc built for
your OS version? If the gcc doesn't get prototypes right,
this often comes from having fixincluded header files of a
different OS version.

Please try again with Python 2.2b1 (http://python.org/2.2/).
We've done a lot of work and we've got at least one report
that it now works out of the box on HP-UX 11. I'd like to
hear if that solves your problems (and if 2.2b1 builds with
either compiler).
