[Plplot-devel] makedocstrings.py patch

[Peter O'G. <plp...@ml...>]

Hi,
We built plplot-5.6.1 on a number of platforms, and it was really
portable, thanks.

There was one minor issue which prevented compilation with any compiler
other than gcc. When gcc sees excess elements in a struct initializer,
it just issues a warning, on our other compilers an error is issued.
When we looked to see where these excess elements were coming from, we
found that they were in generated sources. The problem was a bad regex
in the generator. It would add arguments to things like:
{ (char *)"plGetCursor", _wrap_plGetCursor, METH_VARARGS, NULL}
giving;
{ (char *)"plGetCursor", _wrap_plGetCursor, METH_VARARGS, NULL,
_doc_plGetCursor }
instead of:
{ (char *)"plGetCursor", _wrap_plGetCursor, METH_VARARGS,
_doc_plGetCursor }

Pretty easy to fix once the issue was found.

Thanks,
Peter
