We can now link even smaller Python binaries. For example, the hello.com program in the Python build directory is a compiled linked executable of hello.py which just prints hello world. Using decentralized sections, we can make that binary 1.9mb in size (noting that python.com is 6.3 megs!) This works for nontrivial programs too. For example, say we want an APE binary that's equivalent to python.com -m http.server. Our makefile now builds such a binary using the new launcher and it's only 3.2mb in size since Python sources get turned into ELF objects, which tell our linker that we need things like native hashing algorithm code. |

About ===== _decimal.c is a wrapper for the libmpdec library. libmpdec is a fast C library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision decimal floating point arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's General Decimal Arithmetic Specification. Build process for the module ============================ As usual, the build process for _decimal.so is driven by setup.py in the top level directory. setup.py autodetects the following build configurations: 1) x64 - 64-bit Python, x86_64 processor (AMD, Intel) 2) uint128 - 64-bit Python, compiler provides __uint128_t (gcc) 3) ansi64 - 64-bit Python, ANSI C 4) ppro - 32-bit Python, x86 CPU, PentiumPro or later 5) ansi32 - 32-bit Python, ANSI C 6) ansi-legacy - 32-bit Python, compiler without uint64_t 7) universal - Mac OS only (multi-arch) It is possible to override autodetection by exporting: PYTHON_DECIMAL_WITH_MACHINE=value, where value is one of the above options. NOTE ==== decimal.so is not built from a static libmpdec.a since doing so led to failures on AIX (user report) and Windows (mixing static and dynamic CRTs causes locale problems and more).
