[New-bugs-announce] [issue9586] "warning: comparison between pointer and integer" in multiprocessing build on PPC/Tiger

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

The PPC Tiger buildbot build output shows (e.g., for 2.7):

/Users/buildbot/buildarea/2.7.parc-tiger-1/build/Modules/_multiprocessing/semaphore.c:421: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
/Users/buildbot/buildarea/2.7.parc-tiger-1/build/Modules/_multiprocessing/semaphore.c:441: warning: comparison between pointer and integer
/Users/buildbot/buildarea/2.7.parc-tiger-1/build/Modules/_multiprocessing/semaphore.c:454: warning: comparison between pointer and integer
/Users/buildbot/buildarea/2.7.parc-tiger-1/build/Modules/_multiprocessing/semaphore.c:476: warning: comparison between pointer and integer

This looks as though it should be investigated;  these comparisons are almost certainly doing the wrong thing.

Including Antoine in the nosy because he was the last person to touch this code (I think).
