Pete Shinners reported that Distutils doesn't treat the -C option in a
Setup file the same as the makesetup script. He's right, but I don't think
the -C option is useful in makesetup at all!
The relevant bit of code in makesetup is:
case $arg in
-framework) libs="$libs $arg"; skip=libs;
;;
-[IDUCfF]*) cpps="$cpps $arg";;
-Xlinker) libs="$libs $arg"; skip=libs;;
'-Cfoo' in a Setup file therefore causes -Cfoo to be added to the list
of compiler flags, but at least in GCC, that doesn't mean anything; -C
indicates that the preprocessor shouldn't strip comments, and it
doesn't take an argument. (Anyone know what -C does in other
compilers?)
Because of this, I think -C in makesetup has been useless since
revision 1.1 of makesetup (which is 1994 -- Python 1.0.0), so I doubt
anyone has ever used it. Distutils should do something useful with
it, and IMHO that would be to make '-C cpparg' add 'cpparg' to the
compiler's arguments. Thoughts? Should makesetup be fixed to match?
