Clang + pycparser fail to parse pythread.h header from CPython 3.7

Clang + pycparser fail to parse pythread.h header from CPython 3.7, but this was working in CPython 3.7-dev in Travis CI.

opt/python/3.7.0/include/python3.7m/pythread.h:122:5: error: "Require native
      threads. See https://bugs.python.org/issue31370"
#   error "Require native threads. See https://bugs.python.org/issue31370"

It is not obvious whether I should try gcc instead of clang, pass specific threading flags to compiler or extend pycparser with additional "faked" libc headers due to code not compliant with C99?

Solution

  • This is now fixed, like Eli B. suggested it was a missing #define to the compiler:

    "-D _POSIX_THREADS"
