Applied, it certainly looks better to me.
However, I've just spotted another nasty problem. I think it must
have started with moving to Fedora 35 on my laptop. A bunch of the
Python tests now fail like this:
======================================================================
ERROR: testGetIntProperties (__main__.PyLibfdtBasicTests)
Test that we can access properties as integers
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SystemError: PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must be defined for '#' formats
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/dwg/src/dtc/tests/./pylibfdt_tests.py", line 378, in testGetIntProperties
self.assertEqual(0xdeadbeef, self.get_prop("prop-hex32").as_uint32())
File "/home/dwg/src/dtc/tests/./pylibfdt_tests.py", line 374, in get_prop
return self.fdt2.getprop(0, name)
File "/home/dwg/src/dtc/tests/../pylibfdt/libfdt.py", line 451, in getprop
pdata = check_err_null(fdt_getprop(self._fdt, nodeoffset, prop_name),
File "/home/dwg/src/dtc/tests/../pylibfdt/libfdt.py", line 1279, in fdt_getprop
return _libfdt.fdt_getprop(fdt, nodeoffset, name)
SystemError: <built-in function fdt_getprop> returned a result with an exception set
Any ideas?
Also, Rob, did you have patches to finish the conversion of the
Makefiles to wrappers around meson? If so, I'm sorry I've lost track
of them. Can you repost please? That README addition with meson
native building instructions would also be really good to have.
