* Introduce two new flag bits that can be set in a PyMethodDef methodFred Drake2002-03-281-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type. These new flag bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive. Most methods will not use either. These flags are used to create special method types which exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called. If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method like that returned by the classmethod() built-in. If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in. These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.

* Give Python a debug-mode pymalloc, much as sketched on Python-Dev.Tim Peters2002-03-232-3/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When WITH_PYMALLOC is defined, define PYMALLOC_DEBUG to enable the debug allocator. This can be done independent of build type (release or debug). A debug build automatically defines PYMALLOC_DEBUG when pymalloc is enabled. It's a detected error to define PYMALLOC_DEBUG when pymalloc isn't enabled. Two debugging entry points defined only under PYMALLOC_DEBUG: + _PyMalloc_DebugCheckAddress(const void *p) can be used (e.g., from gdb) to sanity-check a memory block obtained from pymalloc. It sprays info to stderr (see next) and dies via Py_FatalError if the block is detectably damaged. + _PyMalloc_DebugDumpAddress(const void *p) can be used to spray info about a debug memory block to stderr. A tiny start at implementing "API family" checks isn't good for anything yet. _PyMalloc_DebugRealloc() has been optimized to do little when the new size is <= old size. However, if the new size is larger, it really can't call the underlying realloc() routine without either violating its contract, or knowing something non-trivial about how the underlying realloc() works. A memcpy is always done in this case. This was a disaster for (and only) one of the std tests: test_bufio creates single text file lines up to a million characters long. On Windows, fileobject.c's get_line() uses the horridly funky getline_via_fgets(), which keeps growing and growing a string object hoping to find a newline. It grew the string object 1000 bytes each time, so for a million-character string it took approximately forever (I gave up after a few minutes). So, also: fileobject.c, getline_via_fgets(): When a single line is outrageously long, grow the string object at a mildly exponential rate, instead of just 1000 bytes at a time. That's enough so that a debug-build test_bufio finishes in about 5 seconds on my Win98SE box. I'm curious to try this on Win2K, because it has very different memory behavior than Win9X, and test_bufio always took a factor of 10 longer to complete on Win2K. It *could* be that the endless reallocs were simply killing it on Win2K even in the release build.

* Make PyObject_{NEW,New,Del,DEL} always use the standard malloc (PyMem_*)Neil Schemenauer2002-03-221-8/+23

* Arrange to export the _PyMalloc_{Malloc, Realloc, Free} entry points. OnTim Peters2002-03-201-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Windows some modules are considered (by me, and I don't care what anyone else thinks about this <wink>) to be part of "the core" despite that they happen to be compiled into separate DLLs (the "to DLL or not to DLL?" question on Windows is nearly arbitrary). Making the pymalloc entry points available to them allows the Windows build to complete without incident when WITH_PYMALLOC is #define'd. Note that this isn't unprecedented. Other "private API" functions we export include _PySequence_IterSearch, _PyEval_SliceIndex, _PyCodec_Lookup, _Py_ZeroStruct, _Py_TrueStruct, _PyLong_New and _PyModule_Clear.

* SF bug 525705: [2.2] underflow raise OverflowException.Tim Peters2002-03-091-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Another year in the quest to out-guess random C behavior. Added macros Py_ADJUST_ERANGE1(X) and Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2(X, Y). The latter is useful for functions with complex results. Two corrections to errno- after-libm-call are attempted: 1. If the platform set errno to ERANGE due to underflow, clear errno. Some unknown subset of libm versions and link options do this. It's allowed by C89, but I never figured anyone would do it. 2. If the platform did not set errno but overflow occurred, force errno to ERANGE. C89 required setting errno to ERANGE, but C99 doesn't. Some unknown subset of libm versions and link options do it the C99 way now. Bugfix candidate, but hold off until some Linux people actually try it, with and without -lieee. I'll send a help plea to Python-Dev.
* Whether platform malloc(0) returns NULL has nothing to do with whetherTim Peters2002-03-022-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | platform realloc(p, 0) returns NULL, so MALLOC_ZERO_RETURNS_NULL can be correctly undefined yet realloc(p, 0) can return NULL anyway. Prevent realloc(p, 0) doing free(p) and returning NULL via a different hack. Would probably be better to get rid of MALLOC_ZERO_RETURNS_NULL entirely. Bugfix candidate.
* For clarity, change _longobject to build directly from PyObject_VAR_HEADTim Peters2002-03-021-3/+6

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to put the correct description in a comment.

* SF bug #488514: -Qnew needs workTim Peters2001-12-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Big Hammer to implement -Qnew as PEP 238 says it should work (a global option affecting all instances of "/"). pydebug.h, main.c, pythonrun.c: define a private _Py_QnewFlag flag, true iff -Qnew is passed on the command line. This should go away (as the comments say) when true division becomes The Rule. This is deliberately not exposed to runtime inspection or modification: it's a one-way one-shot switch to pretend you're using Python 3. ceval.c: when _Py_QnewFlag is set, treat BINARY_DIVIDE as BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE. test_{descr, generators, zipfile}.py: fiddle so these pass under -Qnew too. This was just a matter of s!/!//! in test_generators and test_zipfile. test_descr was trickier, as testbinop() is passed assumptions that "/" is the same as calling a "__div__" method; put a temporary hack there to call "__truediv__" instead when the method name is "__div__" and 1/2 evaluates to 0.5. Three standard tests still fail under -Qnew (on Windows; somebody please try the Linux tests with -Qnew too! Linux runs a whole bunch of tests Windows doesn't): test_augassign test_class test_coercion I can't stay awake longer to stare at this (be my guest). Offhand cures weren't obvious, nor was it even obvious that cures are possible without major hackery. Question: when -Qnew is in effect, should calls to __div__ magically change into calls to __truediv__? See "major hackery" at tail end of last paragraph <wink>.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | use wrappers on all platforms, to make this as consistent as possible x- platform (in particular, make sure there's at least one \0 byte in the output buffer). Also document more of the truth about what these do. getargs.c, seterror(): Three computations of remaining buffer size were backwards, thus telling PyOS_snprintf the buffer is larger than it actually is. This matters a lot now that PyOS_snprintf ensures there's a trailing \0 byte (because it didn't get the truth about the buffer size, it was storing \0 beyond the true end of the buffer). sysmodule.c, mywrite(): Simplify, now that PyOS_vsnprintf guarantees to produce a \0 byte.

* Added two new functions to conveniently call functions/methods from C.Fred Drake2001-10-261-5/+23

* Generalize dictionary() to accept a sequence of 2-sequences. At theTim Peters2001-10-261-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should always be sequences of length 2). dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2. These are wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2- sequences argument instead of a mapping object. For now, I left these functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes. It's tempting to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too. Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping" to "x". Got a better name? "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>. abstract.h, abstract.tex: Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function, much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size. libfuncs.tex: - Document dictionary(). - Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional. - The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA. Many months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object", where the definition of that could include being explicit about generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call). - Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>. abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple(): When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).
