    Patch #551960: Add check for setrlimit() support · e4a070a3
    Jason Tishler yazdı
    test_resource calls resource.setrlimit() to change the file size limits.
    This fails on Cygwin, which supports setrlimit() and getrlimit(), just not
    changing that particular setting. (The same would apply to any other
    platform that has those functions but not that particular feature.)
    
    Since getrlimit() works and setrlimit() can be used for other reasons, a
    check for ValueError was added to that part of the test.

# This test is checking a few specific problem spots.  RLIMIT_FSIZE
# should be RLIM_INFINITY, which will be a really big number on a
# platform with large file support.  On these platforms, we need to
# test that the get/setrlimit functions properly convert the number to
# a C long long and that the conversion doesn't raise an error.

# Now check to see what happens when the RLIMIT_FSIZE is small.  Some
# versions of Python were terminated by an uncaught SIGXFSZ, but
# pythonrun.c has been fixed to ignore that exception.  If so, the
# write() should return EFBIG when the limit is exceeded.

# At least one platform has an unlimited RLIMIT_FSIZE and attempts to
# change it raise ValueError instead.
