[Python-Dev] test_ctypes failure on AIX 5.3 using python-2.6.2 and libffi-3.0.9

[swamy sangamesh]

Hi All,

I built the python-2.6.2 with the latest libffi-3.0.9 in AIX 5.3 using xlc
compiler.
When i try to run the ctypes test cases, two failures are seen in
test_bitfields.

*test_ints (ctypes.test.test_bitfields.C_Test) ... FAIL
test_shorts (ctypes.test.test_bitfields.C_Test) ... FAIL*

I have attached the full test case result.

If i change the type c_int and c_short to c_unit and c_ushort of class
"BITS(Structure)" in file
test_bitfields.py then no failures are seen.

Has anyone faced the similar issue or any help is appreciated.


Thanks,
Sangamesh
