The _ctypes modules fails to compile on Solaris 10 x86 32-bit using the Sun Studio 11 compiler. _ctypes does compile successfully using gcc. The error messages are attached. If needed, I can provide access to the machine.

I have tracked down two issues. First Sun's cc compiler does defines __386 instead of __386__. This causes problems in ffitarget.h

Second, Sun's cc compiler fails on the following line in ffi.h: } fficlosure \_attribute__((aligned (8)));

This is a problem in Sun's cc compiler. It is fixed in the Sun Studio Express August 2006 release. I don't think there is a patch for the "official" Sun Studio 11 compiler.

With these two changes, ctypes does compile but "make test" still fails. I am still researching the "make test" failure. test_crypt test_csv test_ctypes sh: objdump: not found *** Signal 11 - core dumped make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test' bash-3.00$

You can at least see which test(s) crashes when you run the ctypes tests in this way:

./python Lib/ctypes/test/runtests.py -v

FWIW, ctypes builds on trunk and all its tests pass with Sun Studio 12. I suspect this issue can be closed but will leave that for Thomas to decide.

Though I should note that ctypes 1.0.2 won't build with Sun Studio 12 on Python 2.4 without some patches for the __i386 macro in ffitarget.h. I added this check near the top of ffitarget.h:

    #ifdef __i386
    /* Sun Studio 12 */
    #define __i386__
    #endif
