* The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: addedTim Peters2002-07-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand to nothing at all when they're not enabled. This should help sub- standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the previous "(void)0" expressions. Py_DECREF: There's only one definition of this now. Yay! That was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef maze. Py_FatalError(): Changed the char* signature to const char*. _Py_NegativeRefcount(): New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG expansion of Py_DECREF. Calling an external function cuts down on the volume of generated code. The previous inline expansion of abort() didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen). _Py_NegativeRefcount calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of how to abort effectively across platforms.
* SF bug 578752: COUNT_ALLOCS vs heap typesTim Peters2002-07-081-0/+8
| | | | | | | Repair segfaults and infinite loops in COUNT_ALLOCS builds in the presence of new-style (heap-allocated) classes/types. Bugfix candidate. I'll backport this to 2.2. It's irrelevant in 2.1.
* Removed WITH_CYCLE_GC #ifdef-ery. Holes:Tim Peters2002-07-071-0/+14

* Patch from SF bug 570483 (Tim Northover).Guido van Rossum2002-06-181-0/+1
| | | | | | In a fresh interpreter, type.mro(tuple) would segfault, because PyType_Ready() isn't called for tuple yet. To fix, call PyType_Ready(type) if type->tp_dict is NULL.
* Apply diff2.txt from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/566999Walter Dörwald2002-06-171-0/+3
| | | | | | | | This patch enhances Python/import.c/find_module() so that unicode objects found in sys.path will be treated as legal directory names (The current code ignores anything that is not a str). The unicode name is converted to str using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding.
* Add Oren Tirosh and news about his patch.Guido van Rossum2002-06-142-0/+11

* SF patch 568629 by Oren Tirosh: types made callable.Guido van Rossum2002-06-141-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type: slice() buffer() and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named function named after them) classobj (type name used to be "class") code function instance instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method") The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility placeholder in Python. A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from various platform-specific build recipes. The following binary Mac project files still have references to it: Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp [I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring. --Guido]
* This introduces stricter library/header file checking for the Berkeley DBSkip Montanaro2002-06-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | library. Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible with each other. Version checking is done from highest version to lowest. Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering. It can be enabled by uncommenting a few lines in setup.py. Closes patch 553108.
* SF bug # 493951 string.{starts,ends}with vs slicesNeal Norwitz2002-06-141-0/+3

* Changed the extended slice example to show that you can reverse aGuido van Rossum2002-06-131-2/+2

* SF bug 567538: Generator can crash the interpreter (Finn Bock).Guido van Rossum2002-06-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | This was a simple typo. Strange that the compiler didn't catch it! Instead of WHY_CONTINUE, two tests used CONTINUE_LOOP, which isn't a why_code at all, but an opcode; but even though 'why' is declared as an enum, comparing it to an int is apparently not even worth a warning -- not in gcc, and not in VC++. :-( Will fix in 2.2 too.
* This is my nearly two year old patchMichael W. Hudson2002-06-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | [ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it. Includes docs & tests. The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays should support extended slices -- later.

* SF patch 564549 (Erik Andersén).Guido van Rossum2002-06-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | The WeakKeyDictionary constructor didn't work when a dict arg was given. Fixed by moving a line. Also adding a unit test. Bugfix candidate.
