| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | behavior, creating many threads very quickly. A long debugging session revealed that the Windows implementation of PyThread_start_new_thread() was choked with "laziness" errors: 1. It checked MS _beginthread() for a failure return, but when that happened it returned heap trash as the function result, instead of an id of -1 (the proper error-return value). 2. It didn't consider that the Win32 CreateSemaphore() can fail. 3. When creating a great many threads very quickly, it's quite possible that any particular bootstrap call can take virtually any amount of time to return. But the code waited for a maximum of 5 seconds, and didn't check to see whether the semaphore it was waiting for got signaled. If it in fact timed out, the function could again return heap trash as the function result. This is actually what confused the test program, as the heap trash usually turned out to be 0, and then multiple threads all got id 0 simultaneously, confusing the hell out of threading.py's _active dict (mapping id to thread object). A variety of baffling behaviors followed from that. WRT #1 and #2, error returns are checked now, and "thread.error: can't start new thread" gets raised now if a new thread (or new semaphore) can't be created. WRT #3, we now wait for the semaphore without a timeout. Also removed useless local vrbls, folded long lines, and changed callobj to a stack auto (it was going thru malloc/free instead, for no discernible reason). Bugfix candidate.

| | | | | | | | | I won't have time to write real docs, but spent a lot of time adding comments to his code and fleshing out the exported functions' docstrings. There's probably opportunity to consolidate how docstrings get extracted too, and the new code for that is probably better than the old code for that (which strained mightily to recover from 2.2's new class/type gimmicks).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together SF bug #757821: logging module docs Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item. Patched __init__.py - added new function makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703). Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and deleted some old commented-out code. Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord. Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both 760703 and bug 757821).
* A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctestTim Peters2003-06-271-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False" versus "0". This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3. I expect it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten. In the meantime, there's a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional argument, if you want to turn this behavior off. Note that this substitution is very simple-minded: the expected and actual outputs have to consist of single tokens. No attempt is made, e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0]. This is a simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.

* Fleshed out WeakKeyDictionary.__delitem__ NEWS to cover issues raised onTim Peters2003-05-251-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | Python-Dev. Fixed typos in test comments. Added some trivial new test guts to show the parallelism (now) among __delitem__, __setitem__ and __getitem__ wrt error conditions. Still a bugfix candidate for 2.2.3 final, but waiting for Fred to get a chance to chime in.
* SF 742860: WeakKeyDictionary __delitem__ uses iterkeysTim Peters2003-05-251-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Someone review this, please! Final releases are getting close, Fred (the weakref guy) won't be around until Tuesday, and the pre-patch code can indeed raise spurious RuntimeErrors in the presence of threads or mutating comparison functions. See the bug report for my confusions: I can't see any reason for why __delitem__ iterated over the keys. The new one-liner implementation is much faster, can't raise RuntimeError, and should be better-behaved in all respects wrt threads. New tests test_weak_keyed_bad_delitem and test_weak_keyed_cascading_deletes fail before this patch. Bugfix candidate for 2.2.3 too, if someone else agrees with this patch.
* SF bug 705231: Assertion failed, python aborts.Tim Peters2003-05-241-0/+6
| | | | | | | float_pow(): Don't let the platform pow() raise -1.0 to an integer power anymore; at least glibc gets it wrong in some cases. Note that math.pow() will continue to deliver wrong (but platform-native) results in such cases.
* PyType_Ready(): Complain if the type is a base type, and gc'able, andTim Peters2003-05-211-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tp_free is NULL or PyObject_Del at the end. Because it's a base type it must call tp_free in its dealloc function, and because it's gc'able it must not call PyObject_Del. inherit_slots(): Don't inherit tp_free unless the type and its base agree about whether they're gc'able. If the type is gc'able and the base is not, and the base uses the default PyObject_Del for its tp_free, give the type PyObject_GC_Del for its tp_free (the appropriate default for a gc'able type). cPickle.c: The Pickler and Unpickler types claim to be base classes and gc'able, but their dealloc functions didn't call tp_free. Repaired that. Also call PyType_Ready() on these typeobjects, so that the correct (PyObject_GC_Del) default memory-freeing function gets plugged into these types' tp_free slots.
