| | | | | This still does not work well since ctags does not do a good job with the Python headers, appearantly due to the DL_IMPORT macro. ;-(

* Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:Tim Peters2002-04-291-14/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now. While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider this experimental. Please give it a try!
* Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear peopleTim Peters2002-04-271-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos): if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) { Py_DECREF(s); s = NULL; goto outtahere; } The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if" branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended) if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) goto outtahere; Bugfix candidate.

* SF patch [ 545523 ] patch for 514433 bsddb.dbopen (NULL)Anthony Baxter2002-04-231-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | closes SF #514433 can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions, and you'll get an in-memory temporary store. docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to clean them up. Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.
* Apply patch diff.txt from SF feature requestWalter Dörwald2002-04-221-7/+18
| | | | | | | | | http://www.python.org/sf/444708 This adds the optional argument for str.strip to unicode.strip too and makes it possible to call str.strip with a unicode argument and unicode.strip with a str argument.
* Hack around the "2.1.6 Blank lines" bug in a way that the TOC stillTim Peters2002-04-211-8/+10
| | | | | displays a recognizable section title (there are extra blanks at the end of it now, due to the nested anchor, but that's fine).
* Give the Help viewer a font-size button. This isn't documented by MS,Tim Peters2002-04-211-1/+30
| | | | | but is documented by others on the web, and the defn of the magic flag needed appears in MS's htmlhelp.h header file.
* Move "everything left one": the TOC now shows each doc directory as aTim Peters2002-04-201-9/+10
| | | | | | | distinct top-level node. Before they were all nested under an artificial top-level node, uselessly chewing up horizontal space, and ensuring that the only thing the user saw in the TOC upon opening the file was a single collapsed top-level folder.
* Stopped all warnings from the HTML Help Compiler, by generating properTim Peters2002-04-201-21/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HTML (or, at least, proper in its view). The TOC file is now identical to what the HTML compiler itself generates, except for whitespace and a glitch identified below. The pretty-printing done by prechm.py is pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty- printing anyway). Glitch: The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank for now. This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that. I hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and filed a bug report against the docs.
* Widespread: Used classes in a more natural way. Added convenienceTim Peters2002-04-201-63/+76
| | | | | | | methods to squash code duplication. Simplified several overly complex chunks of logic. Built output strings more with string interpolation instead of infix '+'. Added comments. Exploited recent Python features (chiefly bool and augmented assignment).
* Replaced the fiddly 5-tuples with a new Book convenience class, allowingTim Peters2002-04-201-65/+86
| | | | | | to reference fields via names instead of meaningless little integers. This turned up one case where the wrong little integer was being used, in informative progress output. Fixed that too.
