# HG changeset patch # User Matt Harbison # Date 1497060953 14400 # Node ID 9a4adc76c88a1a217983f051766b3009c0bca3aa # Parent 448fc659a430b427993c19ebfe8029c8a2cd4584 setup: avoid linker warnings on Windows about multiple export specifications The PyMODINIT_FUNC macro contains __declspec(dllexport), and then the build process adds an "/EXPORT func" to the command line. The 64-bit linker flags this [1]. Everything except zstd.c and bser.c are covered by redefining the macro in util.h [2]. These modules aren't built with util.h in the #include path, so the redefining hack would have to be open coded two more times. After seeing that extra_linker_flags didn't work, I couldn't find anything authoritative indicating why, though I did see an offhand comment on SO that CFLAGS is also ignored on Windows. I also don't fully understand the interaction between msvccompiler and msvc9compiler- I first subclassed the latter, but it isn't used when building with VS2008. I know the camelcase naming isn't the standard, but the HackedMingw32CCompiler class above it was introduced 5 years ago (and I think the current style was in place by then), so I assume that there's some reason for it.
