* Issue #21233: Add new C functions: PyMem_RawCalloc(), PyMem_Calloc(),Victor Stinner2014-05-021-4/+32
| | | | | | PyObject_Calloc(), _PyObject_GC_Calloc(). bytes(int) and bytearray(int) are now using ``calloc()`` instead of ``malloc()`` for large objects which is faster and use less memory (until the bytearray buffer is filled with data).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * You may now specify an expression as the default value for a parameter! Example: "sys.maxsize - 1". This support is intentionally quite limited; you may only use values that can be represented as static C values. * Removed "doc_default", simplified support for "c_default" and "py_default". (I'm not sure we still even need "py_default", but I'm leaving it in for now in case a use presents itself.) * Parameter lines support a trailing '\\' as a line continuation character, allowing you to break up long lines. * The argument parsing code generated when supporting optional groups now uses PyTuple_GET_SIZE instead of PyTuple_GetSize, leading to a 850% speedup in parsing. (Just kidding, this is an unmeasurable difference.) * A bugfix for the recent regression where the generated prototype from pydoc for builtins would be littered with unreadable "=<object ...>"" default values for parameters that had no default value. * Converted some asserts into proper failure messages. * Many doc improvements and fixes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - don't call PyErr_NoMemory with interpreter is not initialised - note that it's OK to call _PyMem_RawStrDup here - don't include this in the limited API - capitalise "IO" - be explicit that a non-zero return indicates an error - include versionadded marker in docs
* | Issue #16129: Add `Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding`Nick Coghlan2013-10-171-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new pre-initialization API allows embedding applications like Blender to force a particular encoding and error handler for the standard IO streams. Also refactors Modules/_testembed.c to let us start testing multiple embedding scenarios. (Initial patch by Bastien Montagne)

* | Close #16742: Fix misuse of memory allocations in PyOS_Readline()Victor Stinner2013-10-101-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GIL must be held to call PyMem_Malloc(), whereas PyOS_Readline() releases the GIL to read input. The result of the C callback PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer must now be a string allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc() or PyMem_RawRealloc() (or NULL if an error occurred), instead of a string allocated by PyMem_Malloc() or PyMem_Realloc(). Fixing this issue was required to setup a hook on PyMem_Malloc(), for example using the tracemalloc module. PyOS_Readline() copies the result of PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer() into a new buffer allocated by PyMem_Malloc(). So the public API of PyOS_Readline() does not change.
* | Issue #18874: _PyObject_Malloc/Realloc/Free() now falls back onVictor Stinner2013-10-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | _PyMem_RawMalloc/Realloc/Free, instead of _PyMem_Malloc/Realloc/Free. So it becomes possible to use the fast pymalloc allocator for the PYMEM_DOMAIN_MEM domain (PyMem_Malloc/Realloc/Free functions).
