Tim Peters 9ddf40b4e1 SF patch 876130: add C API to datetime module, from Anthony Tuininga.
The LaTeX is untested (well, so is the new API, for that matter).
Note that I also changed NULL to get spelled consistently in concrete.tex.
If that was a wrong thing to do, Fred should yell at me.

Tim Peters 1b6f7a9057 Bug 975996: Add _PyTime_DoubleToTimet to C API
New include file timefuncs.h exports private API function
_PyTime_DoubleToTimet() from timemodule.c.  timemodule should export
some other functions too (look for painful bits in datetimemodule.c).

Added insane-argument checking to datetime's assorted fromtimestamp()
and utcfromtimestamp() methods.  Added insane-argument tests of these
to test_datetime, and insane-argument tests for ctime(), localtime()
and gmtime() to test_time.

Raymond Hettinger 354433a59d SF patch #872326: Generator expression implementation
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)

The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon.  Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).

The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch.  Further additions are
welcome from everyone.  Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.

Raymond Hettinger 42bec93e5c Make PySequence_Fast_ITEMS public. (Thanks Skip.) 2004-03-12 16:38:17 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c1e4f9dd92 Use a new macro, PySequence_Fast_ITEMS to factor out code common to
three recent optimizations.  Aside from reducing code volume, it
increases readability.

Raymond Hettinger dd80f76265 SF patch #910929: Optimize list comprehensions
Add a new opcode, LIST_APPEND, and apply it to the code generation for
list comprehensions.  Reduces the per-loop overhead by about a third.
2004-03-07 07:31:06 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 4bb9540dd6 * Optimized list appends and pops by making fewer calls the underlying system
realloc().  This is achieved by tracking the overallocation size in a new
  field and using that information to skip calls to realloc() whenever
  possible.

* Simplified and tightened the amount of overallocation.  For larger lists,
  this overallocates by 1/8th (compared to the previous scheme which ranged
  between 1/4th to 1/32nd over-allocation).  For smaller lists (n<6), the
  maximum overallocation is one byte (formerly it could be upto eight bytes).
  This saves memory in applications with large numbers of small lists.

* Eliminated the NRESIZE macro in favor of a new, static list_resize function
  that encapsulates the resizing logic.  Coverting this back to macro would
  give a small (under 1%) speed-up.  This was too small to warrant the loss
  of readability, maintainability, and de-coupling.

* Some functions using NRESIZE had grown unnecessarily complex in their
  efforts to bend to the macro's calling pattern.  With the new list_resize
  function in place, those other functions could be simplified.  That is
  being saved for a separate patch.

* The ob_item==NULL check could be eliminated from the new list_resize
  function.  This would entail finding each piece of code that sets ob_item
  to NULL and adding a new line to invalidate the overallocation tracking
  field.  Rather than impose a new requirement on other pieces of list code,
  it was preferred to leave the NULL check in place and retain the benefits
  of decoupling, maintainability and information hiding (only PyList_New()
  and list_sort() need to know about the new field).  This approach also
  reduces the odds of breaking an extension module.

(Collaborative effort by Raymond Hettinger, Hye-Shik Chang, Tim Peters,
 and Armin Rigo.)

Jeremy Hylton 87c1afa057 Fix name problem in previous checkin: Dict not List 2003-12-26 17:17:49 +00:00
Andrew MacIntyre e99990f9e1 At 2.2, the Py<type>_Check() family of API functions (macros) changed
semantics to include subtypes.  Most concrete object APIs then had
a Py<type>_CheckExact() macro added to test for an object's type
not including subtypes.

The PyDict_CheckExact() macro wasn't created at that time, so I've added
it for API completeness/symmetry - even though nobody has complained
about its absence in the time since 2.2 was released.

Not a backport candidate.

Andrew MacIntyre 43e5711309 The semantics of PyList_Check() and PyDict_Check() changed at 2.2, along

Tim Peters 0490fe96d8 Changed the UCHAR_MAX error msg a bit: we don't really assume anything

an integral type).
2003-12-22 18:10:51 +00:00
Skip Montanaro ac4ea13a3a There are places in Python which assume bytes have 8-bits. Formalize that a
bit by checking the value of UCHAR_MAX in Include/Python.h.  There was a
check in Objects/stringobject.c.  Remove that.  (Note that we don't define
UCHAR_MAX if it's not defined as the old test did.)

Jason Tishler 6bc06eca70 Bug #794140: cygwin builds do not embed
The embed2.diff patch solves the user's problem by exporting the missing

application (well, at lest vim).
2003-09-04 11:59:50 +00:00
Jason Tishler 3076559ea5 This patch enables the building of Cygwin Python with a static core

executables:

Raymond Hettinger f4cf76dd5e Revert the previous enhancement to the bytecode optimizer.
The additional code complexity and new NOP opcode were not worth it.
2003-04-24 05:45:23 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 060641d511 Improved the bytecode optimizer.
* Can now test for basic blocks.
* Optimize inverted comparisions.
* Optimize unary_not followed by a conditional jump.
* Added a new opcode, NOP, to keep code size constant.
* Applied NOP to previous transformations where appropriate.

Note, the NOP would not be necessary if other functions were
added to re-target jump addresses and update the co_lnotab mapping.
That would yield slightly faster and cleaner bytecode at the
expense of optimizer simplicity and of keeping it decoupled
from the line-numbering structure.

Tim Peters 269b2a6797 _Py_PrintReferences(): Changed to print object address at start of each
new line.

New pvt API function _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses():  Prints only the
addresses and refcnts of the live objects.  This is always safe to call,
because it has no dependence on Python's C API.

Py_Finalize():  If envar PYTHONDUMPREFS is set, call (the new)
_Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() right before dumping final pymalloc stats.
We can't print the reprs of the objects here because too much of the
interpreter has been shut down.  You need to correlate the addresses
displayed here with the object reprs printed by the earlier
PYTHONDUMPREFS call to _Py_PrintReferences().

  unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyInt_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);
  unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
  unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);

New and changed format codes:

b unsigned char 0..UCHAR_MAX
B unsigned char none **
h unsigned short 0..USHRT_MAX
H unsigned short none **
i int INT_MIN..INT_MAX
I * unsigned int 0..UINT_MAX
l long LONG_MIN..LONG_MAX
k * unsigned long none
L long long LLONG_MIN..LLONG_MAX
K * unsigned long long none

Notes:

* New format codes.

** Changed from previous "range-and-a-half" to "none"; the
range-and-a-half checking wasn't particularly useful.

New test test_getargs2.py, to verify all this.

Tim Peters 7571a0fbcf Improved new Py_TRACE_REFS gimmicks.
Arranged that all the objects exposed by __builtin__ appear in the list
of all objects.  I basically peed away two days tracking down a mystery
leak in sys.gettotalrefcount() in a ZODB app (== tons of code), because
the object leaking the references didn't appear in the sys.getobjects(0)
list.  The object happened to be False.  Now False is in the list, along
with other popular & previously missing leak candidates (like None).
Alas, we still don't have a choke point covering *all* Python objects,
so the list of all objects may still be incomplete.
2003-03-23 17:52:28 +00:00
Tim Peters 36eb4dfb81 Refactored some of the Py_TRACE_REFS code. New private API function
_Py_AddToAllObjects() that simply inserts an object at the front of
the doubly-linked list of all objects.  Changed PyType_Ready() (the
 closest thing we've got to a choke point for type objects) to call
that.
2003-03-23 03:33:13 +00:00
Tim Peters 9905b943f7 New private API functions _PyFloat_{Pack,Unpack}(4,8}. This is a
refactoring to get all the duplicates of this delicate code out of the
cPickle and struct modules.

Gustavo Niemeyer 5ddd4c3f77 Fixed SF bug #663074. The codec system was using global static
variables to store internal data. As a result, any atempts to use the
unicode system with multiple active interpreters, or successive
interpreter executions, would fail.

Now that information is stored into members of the PyInterpreterState
structure.

Jack Jansen d00c13a9be Moved the Apple workaround for the guard define for wchar_t out of

Michael W. Hudson 2aec8b744e As far as I can tell PyEval_GetOwner was removed in 1997 (when it was
called something else!).  I can't imagine removing the prototype is
going to hurt, but put it back if *you* can.
2003-02-20 17:59:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6297a7a9fb - PyEval_GetFrame() is now declared to return a PyFrameObject *

Guido van Rossum 4b499dd3fb - Finally fixed the bug in compile() and exec where a string ending
with an indented code block but no newline would raise SyntaxError.
  This would have been a four-line change in parsetok.c...  Except
  codeop.py depends on this behavior, so a compilation flag had to be
  invented that causes the tokenizer to revert to the old behavior;
  this required extra changes to 2 .h files, 2 .c files, and 2 .py
  files.  (Fixes SF bug #501622.)

Jeremy Hylton 985eba53f5 Small function call optimization and special build option for call stats.
-DCALL_PROFILE: Count the number of function calls executed.

When this symbol is defined, the ceval mainloop and helper functions
count the number of function calls made.  It keeps detailed statistics
about what kind of object was called and whether the call hit any of
the special fast paths in the code.

Optimization:

When we take the fast_function() path, which seems to be taken for
most function calls, and there is minimal frame setup to do, avoid
call PyEval_EvalCodeEx().  The eval code ex function does a lot of
work to handle keywords args and star args, free variables,
generators, etc.  The inlined version simply allocates the frame and
copies the arguments values into the frame.

The optimization gets a little help from compile.c which adds a
CO_NOFREE flag to code objects that don't have free variables or cell
variables.  This change allows fast_function() to get into the fast
path with fewer tests.

I measure a couple of percent speedup in pystone with this change, but
there's surely more that can be done.
2003-02-05 23:13:00 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 4f0dcc9a9a Provide __module__ attributes for functions defined in C and Python.
__module__ is the string name of the module the function was defined
in, just like __module__ of classes.  In some cases, particularly for
C functions, the __module__ may be None.

Change PyCFunction_New() from a function to a macro, but keep an
unused copy of the function around so that we don't change the binary
API.

Change pickle's save_global() to use whichmodule() if __module__ is
None, but add the __module__ logic to whichmodule() since it might be
used outside of pickle.
2003-01-31 18:33:18 +00:00
Tim Peters 5b8132ffa3 _PyLong_NumBits(): The definition of this was too specific to the quirky
needs of pickling longs.  Backed off to a definition that's much easier
to understand.  The pickler will have to work a little harder, but other
uses are more likely to be correct <0.5 wink>.

_PyLong_Sign():  New teensy function to characterize a long, as to <0, ==0,
or >0.
2003-01-31 15:52:05 +00:00
Tim Peters baefd9e552 Added new private API function _PyLong_NumBits. This will be used at the
start for the C implemention of new pickle LONG1 and LONG4 opcodes (the
linear-time way to pickle a long is to call _PyLong_AsByteArray, but
the caller has no idea how big an array to allocate, and correct
calculation is a bit subtle).

Jack Jansen b2a57722a8 It turns out that some calls return AEDesc records that are "borrowed",
the AEDesc data shouldn't be disposed when the Python object is.

Tim Peters 37f398282b Got rid of the timetz type entirely. This was a bit trickier than I
hoped it would be, but not too bad.  A test had to change:
time.__setstate__() can no longer add a non-None tzinfo member to a time
object that didn't already have one, since storage for a tzinfo member
doesn't exist in that case.

I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...

Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as

Tim Peters 4643bd9a9c Apparently FreeBSD enables some HW floating-point exceptions by default.

2002-08-11 12:23:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum febd61dc02 A modest speedup of object deallocation. call_finalizer() did rather
a lot of work: it had to save and restore the current exception around
a call to lookup_maybe(), because that could fail in rare cases, and
most objects don't have a __del__ method, so the whole exercise was
usually a waste of time.  Changed this to cache the __del__ method in
the type object just like all other special methods, in a new slot
tp_del.  So now subtype_dealloc() can test whether tp_del is NULL and
skip the whole exercise if it is.  The new slot doesn't need a new
flag bit: subtype_dealloc() is only called if the type was dynamically
allocated by type_new(), so it's guaranteed to have all current slots.
Types defined in C cannot fill in tp_del with a function of their own,
so there's no corresponding "wrapper".  (That functionality is already
available through tp_dealloc.)

Guido van Rossum 7a6e95948c SF patch 580331 by Oren Tirosh: make file objects their own iterator.
For a file f, iter(f) now returns f (unless f is closed), and f.next()
is similar to f.readline() when EOF is not reached; however, f.next()
uses a readahead buffer that messes up the file position, so mixing
f.next() and f.readline() (or other methods) doesn't work right.
Calling f.seek() drops the readahead buffer, but other operations
don't.

The real purpose of this change is to reduce the confusion between
objects and their iterators.  By making a file its own iterator, it's
made clearer that using the iterator modifies the file object's state
(in particular the current position).

A nice side effect is that this speeds up "for line in f:" by not
having to use the xreadlines module.  The f.xreadlines() method is
still supported for backwards compatibility, though it is the same as
iter(f) now.

(I made some cosmetic changes to Oren's code, and added a test for
"file closed" to file_iternext() and file_iter().)

Jack Jansen 21ed16acbe Added one call to Py_Main(), for OSX framework builds only, that will get the
actual script to run in case we are running from an applet. If we are indeed
running an applet we skip the normal option processing leaving it all to the
applet code.

This allows us to get use the normal python binary in the Python.app bundle,
giving us all the normal command line options through PythonLauncher while
still allowing Python.app to be used as the template for building applets.

Consequently, pythonforbundle is gone, and Mac/Python/macmain.c isn't used
on OSX anymore.

This gets compilation of posixmodule.c to succeed on Tru64 and does no
harm on Linux.  We may need to undefine it on some platforms, but
let's wait and see.

Martin says:

> I think it is generally the right thing to define _XOPEN_SOURCE on
> Unix, providing a negative list of systems that cannot support this
> setting (or preferably solving whatever problems remain).
>
> I'd put an (unconditional) AC_DEFINE into configure.in early on; it
> *should* go into confdefs.h as configure proceeds, and thus be active
> when other tests are performed.

Jeremy Hylton 938ace69a0 staticforward bites the dust.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.

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.
2002-07-11 06:23:50 +00:00
Tim Peters 57f4ddd6c1 Uglified the new Py_REF_DEBUG (etc) lexical helper macro definitions so
that their uses can be prettier.  I've come to despise the names I picked
for these things, though, and expect to change all of them -- I changed
a bunch of other files to use them (replacing #ifdef blocks), but the
names were so obscure out of context that I backed that all out again.

Thomas Heller 6b17abf6c0 Fix SF Bug 564931: compile() traceback must include filename. 2002-07-09 09:23:27 +00:00
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.
2002-07-09 02:57:01 +00:00
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.
2002-07-07 19:59:50 +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.
2002-07-07 05:13:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 943382c8e5 Removed WITH_CYCLE_GC #ifdef-ery. Holes:
+ I'm not sure what to do about configure.in.  Left it alone.

+ Ditto pyexpat.c.  Fred or Martin will know what to do.
2002-07-07 03:59:34 +00:00
Tim Peters 1de41bfbc0 Stop trying to cater to platforms with a broken HUGE_VAL definition. It
breaks other platforms (in this case, the hack for broken Cray systems in
turn caused failure on a Mac system broken in a different way).
2002-07-03 03:31:20 +00:00
Tim Peters 6fc13d9595 Finished transitioning to using gc_refs to track gc objects' states.
This was mostly a matter of adding comments and light code rearrangement.
Upon untracking, gc_next is still set to NULL.  It's a cheap way to
provoke memory faults if calling code is insane.  It's also used in some
way by the trashcan mechanism.
2002-07-02 18:12:35 +00:00
Tim Peters ea405639bf Reserved another gc_refs value for untracked objects. Every live gc
object should now have a well-defined gc_refs value, with clear transitions
among gc_refs states.  As a result, none of the visit_XYZ traversal
callbacks need to check IS_TRACKED() anymore, and those tests were removed.
(They were already looking for objects with specific gc_refs states, and
the gc_refs state of an untracked object can no longer match any other
gc_refs state by accident.)
Added more asserts.
I expect that the gc_next == NULL indicator for an untracked object is
now redundant and can also be removed, but I ran out of time for this.

Tim Peters 8b078f95e0 Moving pymalloc along.
As threatened, PyMem_{Free, FREE} also invoke the object deallocator now
when pymalloc is enabled (well, it does when pymalloc isn't enabled too,
but in that case "the object deallocator" is plain free()).

This is maximally backward-compatible, but it leaves a bitter aftertaste.

Also massive reworking of comments.

Tim Peters 51e7f5caba Moving pymalloc along.
+ Redirect PyMem_{Del, DEL} to the object allocator's free() when
  pymalloc is enabled.  Needed so old extensions can continue to
  mix PyObject_New with PyMem_DEL.

+ This implies that pgen needs to be able to see the PyObject_XYZ
  declarations too.  pgenheaders.h now includes Python.h.  An
  implication is that I expect obmalloc.o needs to get linked into
  pgen on non-Windows boxes.

+ When PYMALLOC_DEBUG is defined, *all* Py memory API functions
  now funnel through the debug allocator wrapper around pymalloc.
  This is the default in a debug build.

+ That caused compile.c to fail:  it indirectly mixed PyMem_Malloc
  with raw platform free() in one place.  This is verbotten.
2002-04-22 02:33:27 +00:00
Tim Peters 058b141ef7 Py_UniversalNewlineFread(): Many changes.
+ Continued looping until n bytes in the buffer have been filled, not
  just when n bytes have been read from the file.  This repairs the
  bug that f.readlines() only sucked up the first 8192 bytes of the file
  on Windows when universal newlines was enabled and f was opened in
  U mode (see Python-Dev -- this was the ultimate cause of the
  test_inspect.py failure).

+ Changed prototye to take a char* buffer (void* doesn't make much sense).

+ Squashed size_t vs int mismatches (in particular, besides the unsigned
  vs signed distinction, size_t may be larger than int).

+ Gets out under all error conditions now (it's possible for fread() to
  suffer an error even if it returns a number larger than 0 -- any
  "short read" is an error or EOF condition).

+ Rearranged and simplified declarations.

Jack Jansen 7b8c7546eb Mass checkin of universal newline support.

Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.

See PEP278 for details.

Tim Peters 0e871188e8 _PyObject_DebugDumpStats: renamed to _PyObject_DebugMallocStats.

late in the Python shutdown process.

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.

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.
2002-04-03 22:41:51 +00:00
Tim Peters 7ccfadf3a8 New PYMALLOC_DEBUG function void _PyMalloc_DebugDumpStats(void).
This displays stats about the # of arenas, pools, blocks and bytes, to
stderr, both used and reserved but unused.

CAUTION:  Because PYMALLOC_DEBUG is on, the debug malloc routine adds
16 bytes to each request.  This makes each block appear two size classes
higher than it would be if PYMALLOC_DEBUG weren't on.

So far, playing with this confirms the obvious:  there's a lot of activity
in the "small dict" size class, but nothing in the core makes any use of
the 8-byte or 16-byte classes.

2002-03-28 07:32:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 7bf9715a8b Introduce two new flag bits that can be set in a PyMethodDef method
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.

Tim Peters ddea208be9 Give Python a debug-mode pymalloc, much as sketched on Python-Dev.
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.

Tim Peters fbb556df15 Arrange to export the _PyMalloc_{Malloc, Realloc, Free} entry points. On
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.

Tim Peters dc5a508761 SF bug 525705: [2.2] underflow raise OverflowException.
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.

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.

Tim Peters 03b18834c3 For clarity, change _longobject to build directly from PyObject_VAR_HEAD
instead of faking it by hand.  It *is* a var object, and nothing but
hysterical raisins to pretend it's an oddball.

Jeremy Hylton 31e233aa7a Cells are not VAR objects.
Noted by Jason Orendorff, SF #520768.

Tim Peters 5e67cded40 PyGC_Head: Use "long double" instead of "double" as the worst-case
alignment gimmick.  David Abrahams notes that the standard "long double"
actually requires stricter alignment than "double" on some Tru64 box.
On my box and yours <wink>, it's the same, so no harm done on most
boxes.

Tim Peters 2cec3542c7 Change the version string from "2.2+" to "2.3a0". disutils peels off
the first 3 characters of this string in several places, so for as long
as they remain "2.2" it confuses the heck out of attempts to build 2.3
stuff using distutils.
