* Add two dictionaries to htmlentitydefs: name2codepoint mapsWalter Dörwald2003-04-161-0/+4
| | | | | HTML entity names to Unicode codepoints (as integers). codepoint2name is the reverse mapping. From SF patch #722017.
* - pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()Guido van Rossum2003-04-151-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | even farther down, to just before the call to _PyObject_DebugMallocStats(). This required the following changes: - pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception (ever). - object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL, don't raise an exception but return 0. This means that when printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on and on. But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see first bullet). - Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.
* The date class is now properly subclassable. (SF bug #720908)Guido van Rossum2003-04-141-0/+2
| | | | | (This is only the tip of the iceberg; the time and datetime classes need the same treatment.)
* - list.insert(i, x) now interprets negative i as it would beGuido van Rossum2003-04-141-0/+5
| | | | | | interpreted by slicing, so negative values count from the end of the list. This was the only place where such an interpretation was not placed on a list index.
* SF patch #720991 by Gary Herron:Guido van Rossum2003-04-141-0/+4
| | | | | | | A small fix for bug #545855 and Greg Chapman's addition of op code SRE_OP_MIN_REPEAT_ONE for eliminating recursion on simple uses of pattern '*?' on a long string.
* Patch by Chad Netzer (with significant change):Guido van Rossum2003-04-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | - range() now works even if the arguments are longs with magnitude larger than sys.maxint, as long as the total length of the sequence fits. E.g., range(2**100, 2**101, 2**100) is the following list: [1267650600228229401496703205376L]. (SF patch #707427.)

* Reworked has_finalizer() to use the new _PyObject_Lookup() insteadTim Peters2003-04-071-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of PyObject_HasAttr(); the former promises never to execute arbitrary Python code. Undid many of the changes recently made to worm around the worst consequences of that PyObject_HasAttr() could execute arbitrary Python code. Compatibility is hard to discuss, because the dangerous cases are so perverse, and much of this appears to rely on implementation accidents. To start with, using hasattr() to check for __del__ wasn't only dangerous, in some cases it was wrong: if an instance of an old- style class didn't have "__del__" in its instance dict or in any base class dict, but a getattr hook said __del__ existed, then hasattr() said "yes, this object has a __del__". But instance_dealloc() ignores the possibility of getattr hooks when looking for a __del__, so while object.__del__ succeeds, no __del__ method is called when the object is deleted. gc was therefore incorrect in believing that the object had a finalizer. The new method doesn't suffer that problem (like instance_dealloc(), _PyObject_Lookup() doesn't believe __del__ exists in that case), but does suffer a somewhat opposite-- and even more obscure --oddity: if an instance of an old-style class doesn't have "__del__" in its instance dict, and a base class does have "__del__" in its dict, and the first base class with a "__del__" associates it with a descriptor (an object with a __get__ method), *and* if that descriptor raises an exception when __get__ is called, then (a) the current method believes the instance does have a __del__, but (b) hasattr() does not believe the instance has a __del__. While these disagree, I believe the new method is "more correct": because the descriptor *will* be called when the object is destructed, it can execute arbitrary Python code at the time the object is destructed, and that's really what gc means by "has a finalizer": not specifically a __del__ method, but more generally the possibility of executing arbitrary Python code at object destruction time. Code in a descriptor's __get__() executed at destruction time can be just as problematic as code in a __del__() executed then. So I believe the new method is better on all counts. Bugfix candidate, but it's unclear to me how all this differs in the 2.2 branch (e.g., new-style and old-style classes already took different gc paths in 2.3 before this last round of patches, but don't in the 2.2 branch).

| | | | | | | | | | | a doubly-linked list, exposed by sys.getobjects(). Unfortunately, it's not really all live objects, and it seems my fate to bump into programs where sys.gettotalrefcount() keeps going up but where the reference leaks aren't accounted for by anything in the list of all objects. This patch helps a little: if COUNT_ALLOCS is also defined, from now on type objects will also appear in this list, provided at least one object of a type has been allocated.

* SF bug 705836: struct.pack of floats in non-native endian orderTim Peters2003-03-201-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pack_float, pack_double, save_float: All the routines for creating IEEE-format packed representations of floats and doubles simply ignored that rounding can (in rare cases) propagate out of a long string of 1 bits. At worst, the end-off carry can (by mistake) interfere with the exponent value, and then unpacking yields a result wrong by a factor of 2. In less severe cases, it can end up losing more low-order bits than intended, or fail to catch overflow *caused* by rounding. Bugfix candidate, but I already backported this to 2.2. In 2.3, this code remains in severe need of refactoring.

* Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL:Just van Rossum2003-03-031-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir() will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode argument. - And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII. - Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing the error and fall back to a byte string.) - Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex. - Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation. This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are supposed to.
