Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] u-boot: fix pylibfdt build with swig 4.5.0
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:05:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812120558.24897-4-jaipaul.cheernam@est.tech> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812120558.24897-1-jaipaul.cheernam@est.tech>

SWIG 4.5.0 removed Python 2 compatibility macros (PyInt_*, PyString_*)
from its runtime. Backport the dtc upstream fix to u-boot's bundled
pylibfdt/libfdt.i_shipped to replace them with Python 3 equivalents.

+Subject: [PATCH] pylibfdt: Replace removed SWIG Python 2 compatibility macros
+
+SWIG 4.5.0 removed Python 2 compatibility macros (PyInt_*, PyString_*)
+from its runtime header pyhead.swg (see commit 79f7a2b7cb7d). Replace
+them with their Python 3 C API equivalents:
+
+- PyString_FromString -> PyUnicode_FromString
+- PyString_AsString -> PyBytes_AsString
+- PyInt_AsLong -> PyLong_AsLong
+
+The replacements are safe since the macros were already aliased to
+these exact functions in SWIG's Python 3 code path.
+
+This is a backport of dtc commit 5008d1d6a356 ("pylibfdt: Replace
+removed SWIG Python 2 compatibility macros").
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/2283713/]
