From: Guido van Rossum Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 23:29:44 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Initialize the ob_type field of PyAST_Type dynamically (in X-Git-Tag: v1.5a1~437 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f2b2dac5eb84fbfb410e5066d24faa2f27423146;p=python Initialize the ob_type field of PyAST_Type dynamically (in initparser()) instead of statically (in the initializer). The static initialization, using the address of an object in a different DLL, is too much for the Microsoft VC++ compiler, and we want to be able to build this module as a separate DLL (it's nice to have but we don't want to increase the core DLL's size by 25K). This same trick has been applied to a number of modules, e.g. NumPy and _tkinter. --- diff --git a/Modules/parsermodule.c b/Modules/parsermodule.c index 7a23d8d9ae..4167eb10ce 100644 --- a/Modules/parsermodule.c +++ b/Modules/parsermodule.c @@ -197,7 +197,7 @@ staticforward int parser_compare Py_PROTO((PyAST_Object *left, /* static */ PyTypeObject PyAST_Type = { - PyObject_HEAD_INIT(&PyType_Type) + PyObject_HEAD_INIT(NULL) 0, "ast", /* tp_name */ sizeof(PyAST_Object), /* tp_basicsize */ @@ -2593,8 +2593,12 @@ static PyMethodDef parser_functions[] = { void initparser() { - PyObject* module = Py_InitModule("parser", parser_functions); - PyObject* dict = PyModule_GetDict(module); + PyObject* module; + PyObject* dict; + + PyAST_Type.ob_type = &PyType_Type; + module = Py_InitModule("parser", parser_functions); + dict = PyModule_GetDict(module); parser_error = PyString_FromString("parser.ParserError");
