cython debug information directory (patch)

[felixs]

There is no way to specify the location where cython writes its debug information (--gdb option). This is required whenever cython is executed from a different directory because of other hardwired paths that cannot be overridden (yet).

merged upstream

Replying to ncohen:

?... Is this patch waiting for a review

this or a newer version of cython packaged.

then O_o

what does "O_o" mean?

thanks felix

Ahahahah.. Sorry I had misunderstood something about this ticket. And O_o represents two eyes, one of which is smaller than the other one.

This is amazement : O_O

This is doubt : O_o

This is extreme doubt : O_o_O_o_O

Thuuuuuus I am looking at your patch right now and trying to understand how the new spkg system works. And so far it's muuuuuuuuuuuuuch better :-P

Okay okay. Looks like it works, even though I can see this when I reinstall cython :

patching file Cython/Compiler/CmdLine.py
Hunk #2 succeeded at 112 (offset -13 lines).

By the way, is there a command I can run to test this --gdb-output option ?

i didn't use any such system. please excuse if i missed something.

the patch was successful, if cython --help | grep outdir returns 0. also you can check this

echo "print 42" > file.pyc
cython --gdb file.pyc
cython --gdb-outdir somethingelse
diff -f cython_debug somethingelse/cython_debug # should return zero.

thanks

NOnonono I mean that I had not looked at any spkg since the .spkg files. Now the Sage part of the code is in build/pkgs and the sources are stored in upstream, and it is muuuuuch easier to patch spkgs ! I could even write a .cc file I need for Sage which can't be written in Cython directly :-)

echo "print 42" > file.pyc
cython --gdb file.pyc

I replaced that by calls to sage -cython but it all works indeed. Though diff complains that there is no newline at the end of the files the md5sum are the same and the files are created where they should anyway.

Good to go ! And thanks for this occasion to look at the new spkg system, without .spkg files :-P
