Renaming gc() to _gc() was a mistake since the better thing to do is put it behind the _COSMO_SOURCE macro. We need this change because I haven't wanted to use my amazing garbage collector ever since we renamed it. You now need to define _COSMO_SOURCE yourself when using amalgamation header and cosmocc users need to pass the -mcosmo flag to get the gc() function Some other issues relating to cancelation have been fixed along the way. We're also now putting cosmocc in a folder named `.cosmocc` so it can be more safely excluded by grep --exclude-dir=.cosmocc --exclude-dir=o etc. |

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).
