Guido van Rossum 6e08c1460c PyObject_Init[Var] is almost always called from the PyObject_NEW[_VAR]
macros.  The 'op' argument is then the result from PyObject_MALLOC,
and that can of course be NULL.  In that case, PyObject_Init[Var]
would raise a SystemError with "NULL object passed to
PyObject_Init[Var]".  But there's nothing the caller of the macro can
do about this.  So PyObject_Init[Var] should call just PyErr_NoMemory.

Will backport.

Guido van Rossum 6248f441ea Speedup for PyObject_IsTrue(): check for True and False first.
Because all built-in tests return bools now, this is the most common
path!

Guido van Rossum 81912d4764 Speedup for PyObject_RichCompareBool(): PyObject_RichCompare() almost

case.

Guido van Rossum c66ff4441e Inline call to _PyObject_GetDictPtr() in PyObject_GenericGetAttr().

Mark Hammond a290527376 Excise DL_IMPORT/EXPORT from object.h, and related files. This patch
also adds 'extern' to PyAPI_DATA rather than at each declaration, as
discussed with Tim and Guido.

Tim Peters 3459251d5a object.h special-build macro minefield: renamed all the new lexical
helper macros to something saner, and used them appropriately in other
files too, to reduce #ifdef blocks.

classobject.c, instance_dealloc():  One of my worst Python Memories is
trying to fix this routine a few years ago when COUNT_ALLOCS was defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS wasn't.  The special-build code here is way too
complicated.  Now it's much simpler.  Difference:  in a Py_TRACE_REFS
build, the instance is no longer in the doubly-linked list of live
objects while its __del__ method is executing, and that may be visible
via sys.getobjects() called from a __del__ method.  Tough -- the object
is presumed dead while its __del__ is executing anyway, and not calling
_Py_NewReference() at the start allows enormous code simplification.

typeobject.c, call_finalizer():  The special-build instance_dealloc()
pain apparently spread to here too via cut-'n-paste, and this is much
simpler now too.  In addition, I didn't understand why this routine
was calling _PyObject_GC_TRACK() after a resurrection, since there's no
plausible way _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() could have been called on the
object by this point.  I suspect it was left over from pasting the
instance_delloc() code.  Instead asserted that the object is still
tracked.  Caution:  I suspect we don't have a test that actually
exercises the subtype_dealloc() __del__-resurrected-me code.

Tim Peters 7c321a80f9 The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: added
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.

Tim Peters c6a3ff634a SF bug 578752: COUNT_ALLOCS vs heap types
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.

Tim Peters 4be93d0e84 Rearranged and added comments to object.h, to clarify many things
that have taken me "too long" to reverse-engineer over the years.
Vastly reduced the nesting level and redundancy of #ifdef-ery.
Took a light stab at repairing comments that are no longer true.

sys_gettotalrefcount():  Changed to enable under Py_REF_DEBUG.
It was enabled under Py_TRACE_REFS, which was much heavier than
necessary.  sys.gettotalrefcount() is now available in a
Py_REF_DEBUG-only build.

Tim Peters a6269a8ec5 Removed 3 unlikely #includes that were only needed for the non-gc flavor
of the trashcan code.
2002-07-07 16:52:50 +00:00
Tim Peters 803526b9e2 Trashcan cleanup: Now that cyclic gc is always there, the trashcan
mechanism is no longer evil:  it no longer plays dangerous games with
the type pointer or refcounts, and objects in extension modules can play
along too without needing to edit the core first.

Rewrote all the comments to explain this, and (I hope) give clear
guidance to extension authors who do want to play along.  Documented
all the functions.  Added more asserts (it may no longer be evil, but
it's still dangerous <0.9 wink>).  Rearranged the generated code to
make it clearer, and to tolerate either the presence or absence of a
semicolon after the macros.  Rewrote _PyTrash_destroy_chain() to call
tp_dealloc directly; it was doing a Py_DECREF again, and that has all
sorts of obscure distorting effects in non-release builds (Py_DECREF
was already called on the object!).  Removed Christian's little "embedded
change log" comments -- that's what checkin messages are for, and since
it was impossible to correlate the comments with the code that changed,
I found them merely distracting.

Neal Norwitz 3f8dae73c7 Fix typo 2002-05-31 20:23:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a407300cd7 Implement the intention of SF patch 472523 (but coded differently).
In the past, an object's tp_compare could return any value.  In 2.2
the docs were tightened to require it to return -1, 0 or 1; and -1 for
an error.

We now issue a warning if the value is not in this range.  When an
exception is raised, we allow -1 or -2 as return value, since -2 will
the recommended return value for errors in the future.  (Eventually
tp_compare will also be allowed to return +2, to indicate
NotImplemented; but that can only be implemented once we know all
extensions return a value in [-2...1].  Or perhaps it will require the
type to set a flag bit.)

I haven't decided yet whether to backport this to 2.2.x.  The patch
applies fine.  But is it fair to start warning in 2.2.2 about code
that worked flawlessly in 2.2.1?
2002-05-31 20:03:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cacfc07d08 - A new type object, 'string', is added. This is a common base type
for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of
  types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string":
  isinstance(x, string) is True for Unicode and 8-bit strings.  This
  is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly.
2002-05-24 19:01:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4402241450 Jim Fulton reported a segfault in dir(). A heavily proxied object
returned a proxy for __class__ whose __bases__ was also a proxy.  The
merge_class_dict() helper for dir() assumed incorrectly that __bases__
would always be a tuple and used the in-line tuple API on the proxy.

I will backport this to 2.2 as well.
2002-05-13 18:29:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 517c7d4fd3 PyNumber_CoerceEx: this took a shortcut (not doing anything) when the
left and right type were of the same type and not classic instances.

This shortcut is dangerous for proxy types, because it means that
coerce(Proxy(1), Proxy(2.1)) leaves Proxy(1) unchanged rather than
turning it into Proxy(1.0).

In an ever-so-slight change of semantics, I now only take the shortcut
when the left and right types are of the same type and don't have the
CHECKTYPES feature.  It so happens that classic instances have this
flag, so the shortcut is still skipped in this case (i.e. nothing
changes for classic instances).  Proxies also have this flag set
(otherwise implementing numeric operations on proxies would become
nightmarish) and this means that the shortcut is also skipped there,
as desired.  It so happens that int, long and float also have this
flag set; that means that e.g. coerce(1, 1) will now invoke
int_coerce().  This is fine: int_coerce() can deal with this, and I'm
not worried about the performance; int_coerce() is only invoked when
the user explicitly calls coerce(), which should be rarer than rare.

Tim Peters af3e8de580 First stab at rationalizing the PyMem_ API. Mixing PyObject_xyz with
PyMem_{Del, DEL} doesn't work yet (compilation problems).

pyport.h:  _PyMem_EXTRA is gone.

pmem.h:  Repaired comments.  PyMem_{Malloc, MALLOC} and
PyMem_{Realloc, REALLOC} now make the same x-platform guarantees when
asking for 0 bytes, and when passing a NULL pointer to the latter.

object.c:  PyMem_{Malloc, Realloc} just call their macro versions
now, since the latter take care of the x-platform 0 and NULL stuff
by themselves now.

pypcre.c, grow_stack():  So sue me.  On two lines, this called
PyMem_RESIZE to grow a "const" area.  It's not legit to realloc a
const area, so the compiler warned given the new expansion of
PyMem_RESIZE.  It would have gotten the same warning before if it
had used PyMem_Resize() instead; the older macro version, but not the
function version, silently cast away the constness.  IMO that was a wrong
thing to do, and the docs say the macro versions of PyMem_xyz are
deprecated anyway.  If somebody else is resizing const areas with the
macro spelling, they'll get a warning when they recompile now too.

Neil Schemenauer bdf0eedb68 Move PyObject_Malloc and PyObject_Free to obmalloc.c. 2002-04-12 03:08:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 77f6a65eb0 Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
PEP 285.  Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation.  I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison.  I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.

Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Tim Peters a5d78cc208 Whether platform malloc(0) returns NULL has nothing to do with whether
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.

Guido van Rossum 2eb0b87d14 SF patch 514641 (Naofumi Honda) - Negative ob_size of LongObjects
Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance
of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps
later on.  Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy()
is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable.

This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added;
in addition, I added a test case.

Guido van Rossum ebca9fc1ba PyObject_Generic{Get,Set}Attr(): ensure that the attribute name is a

Tim Peters 67754e993e Rehabilitated the fast-path richcmp code, and sped it up. It wasn't
helping for types that defined tp_richcmp but not tp_compare, although
that's when it's most valuable, and strings moved into that category
since the fast path was first introduced.  Now it helps for same-type
non-Instance objects that define rich or 3-way compares.

For all the edits here, the rest just amounts to moving the fast path from
do_richcmp into PyObject_RichCompare, saving a layer of function call
(measurable on my box!).  This loses when NESTING_LIMIT is exceeded, but I
don't care about that (fast-paths are for normal cases, not pathologies).

Also added a tasteful <wink> label to get out of PyObject_RichCompare, as
the if/else nesting in this routine was getting incomprehensible.

Guido van Rossum b8c65bc27f SF patch #470578: Fixes to synchronize unicode() and str()
This patch implements what we have discussed on python-dev late in
    September: str(obj) and unicode(obj) should behave similar, while
    the old behaviour is retained for unicode(obj, encoding, errors).

    The patch also adds a new feature with which objects can provide
    unicode(obj) with input data: the __unicode__ method. Currently no
    new tp_unicode slot is implemented; this is left as option for the
    future.

    Note that PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() no longer accepts Unicode
    objects as input. The API name already suggests that Unicode
    objects do not belong in the list of acceptable objects and the
    functionality was only needed because
    PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() was being used directly by
    unicode(). The latter was changed in the discussed way:

    * unicode(obj) calls PyObject_Unicode()
    * unicode(obj, encoding, errors) calls PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject()

    One thing left open to discussion is whether to leave the
    PyUnicode_FromObject() API as a thin API extension on top of
    PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() or to turn it into a (macro) alias
    for PyObject_Unicode() and deprecate it. Doing so would have some
    surprising consequences though, e.g.  u"abc" + 123 would turn out
    as u"abc123"...

[Marc-Andre didn't have time to check this in before the deadline.  I
hope this is OK, Marc-Andre!  You can still make changes and commit
them on the trunk after the branch has been made, but then please mail
Barry a context diff if you want the change to be merged into the
2.2b1 release branch.  GvR]

Tim Peters c993315b18 SF bug [#468061] __str__ ignored in str subclass.
object.c, PyObject_Str:  Don't try to optimize anything except exact
string objects here; in particular, let str subclasses go thru tp_str,
same as non-str objects.  This allows overrides of tp_str to take
effect.

stringobject.c:
+ string_print (str's tp_print):  If the argument isn't an exact string
  object, get one from PyObject_Str.

+ string_str (str's tp_str):  Make a genuine-string copy of the object if
  it's of a proper str subclass type.  str() applied to a str subclass
  that doesn't override __str__ ends up here.

Tim Peters f2a67daca2 Guido suggests, and I agree, to insist that SIZEOF_VOID_P be a power of 2.
This simplifies the rounding in _PyObject_VAR_SIZE, allows to restore the
pre-rounding calling sequence, and allows some nice little simplifications
in its callers.  I'm still making it return a size_t, though.
2001-10-07 03:54:51 +00:00
Tim Peters 6d483d3477 _PyObject_VAR_SIZE: always round up to a multiple-of-pointer-size value.
As Guido suggested, this makes the new subclassing code substantially
simpler.  But the mechanics of doing it w/ C macro semantics are a mess,
and _PyObject_VAR_SIZE has a new calling sequence now.

Question:  The PyObject_NEW_VAR macro appears to be part of the public API.
Regardless of what it expands to, the notion that it has to round up the
memory it allocates is new, and extensions containing the old
PyObject_NEW_VAR macro expansion (which was embedded in the
PyObject_NEW_VAR expansion) won't do this rounding.  But the rounding
isn't actually *needed* except for new-style instances with dict pointers
after a variable-length blob of embedded data.  So my guess is that we do
not need to bump the API version for this (as the rounding isn't needed
for anything an extension can do unless it's recompiled anyway).  What's
your guess?

Tim Peters 305b5857f6 PyObject_Dir(): Merge in __members__ and __methods__ too (if they exist,
and are lists, and then just the string elements (if any)).

There are good and bad reasons for this.  The good reason is to support
dir() "like before" on objects of extension types that haven't migrated
to the class introspection API yet.  The bad reason is that Python's own
method objects are such a type, and this is the quickest way to get their
im_self etc attrs to "show up" via dir().  It looks much messier to move
them to the new scheme, as their current getattr implementation presents
a view of their attrs that's a untion of their own attrs plus their
im_func's attrs.  In particular, methodobject.__dict__ actually returns
methodobject.im_func.__dict__, and if that's important to preserve it
doesn't seem to fit the class introspection model at all.
