layout: restructure into src/ tests/ android/ scripts/ tools/
- extension/src/{port,platform,codepage} -> src/; native_render -> src/host
(+ dxt, shaders/); libgr2 -> src/gr2; extension/third_party -> third_party
- extension/tests -> tests/port, libgr2/tests -> tests/gr2
- android-native -> android (build.sh, push-client.sh moved in)
- script -> scripts; tools/40250 -> tools/server; oracle -> tools/granny-oracle;
perf tools -> tools/perf
- all build trees under build/ (native, release, android, port-gate)
- xrender:: CMake aliases -> mt::; port-map ledger impl paths rewritten
No code changes. ctest 15/15, port_gate macos+android PASS, port_map check 0 errors.

Q. I want to port Python to a new platform. How do I begin?
|
||||
|
||||
A. I guess the two things to start with is to familiarize yourself
|
||||
with are the development system for your target platform and the
|
||||
generic build process for Python. Make sure you can compile and run a
|
||||
simple hello-world program on your target platform. Make sure you can
|
||||
compile and run the Python interpreter on a platform to which it has
|
||||
already been ported (preferably Unix, but Mac or Windows will do,
|
||||
too).
|
||||
|
||||
I also would never start something like this without at least
|
||||
medium-level understanding of your target platform (i.e. how it is
|
||||
generally used, how to write platform specific apps etc.) and Python
|
||||
(or else you'll never know how to test the results).
|
||||
|
||||
The build process for Python, in particular the Makefiles in the
|
||||
source distribution, will give you a hint on which files to compile
|
||||
for Python. Not all source files are relevant -- some are platform
|
||||
specific, others are only used in emergencies (e.g. getopt.c). The
|
||||
Makefiles tell the story.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll also need a pyconfig.h file tailored for your platform. You can
|
||||
start with pyconfig.h.in, read the comments and turn on definitions that
|
||||
apply to your platform.
|
||||
|
||||
And you'll need a config.c file, which lists the built-in modules you
|
||||
support. Start with Modules/config.c.in.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you'll run into some things that aren't supported on your
|
||||
target platform. Forget about the posix module for now -- simply take
|
||||
it out of the config.c file.
|
||||
|
||||
Bang on it until you get a >>> prompt. (You may have to disable the
|
||||
importing of "site.py" by passing the -S option.)
|
||||
|
||||
Then bang on it until it executes very simple Python statements.
|
||||
|
||||
Now bang on it some more. At some point you'll want to use the os
|
||||
module; this is the time to start thinking about what to do with the
|
||||
posix module. It's okay to simply #ifdef out those functions that
|
||||
cause problems; the remaining ones will be quite useful.
